My new avatar, a piece of art from my own hand. Will probably update as I practice more, yes the Welsh Wych is a Goblin. 😀

Also as pinning... family online nicknames, to help make sense of my posting

Follow up regarding my issue at GW, had the social media team replied yesterday and let me know that although it was tough to track down they found the issue and resolved it going forward and it immediately sorted my account as my name correctly displayed this morning on the Order sent mail. So yay.

I will admit I was caught in about three minds with this comp, and in the end went with an Old World Deep Kin (possibily Tzeentch aligned) going around with the Scroll of Truth, telling 'landwalkers' things they don't want to hear.

Lovely model though, and some great entries as always.

Some additional Progress with the Old World Painting, been busier than I hoped the last few days, but some paint has got on them. (Also mostly painting my Nerdlings entry which i can't share yet)

Was considering getting Darkwater today, but went to my FLGS website and its £136 after discount... I'm like, holy gak, GW has finally priced me out of any 'I'm not 100% sure, but I'll give it a go' type buys, made a lot of those over the years. Focused games, armies only from now on. 😔

I actually complained to GW as well.. (not in a heavy handed way as it won't be the fault of the person dealing with the email, and tbh is likely a technical oversight anyway) but I changed all my details on Warhammer ages ago, but still every newsletter/order I get starts with 'hey deadname' 🫥

GW been telling me I had a £10 voucher about to expire (can't even remember how I got it tbh) so grabbing some bases and thought I'd just check while I was there... and the blinkin Fanatics were finally in stock, been OOS every order I've made this year (only 4 tbf)... so yay.

#Nerdlings #WHFB
A pic of my order screen for some bases and my Fanatic box... edited of course. However yeah, only had 3 resin Fanatics for my Goblin Army, so basically one unit, this box will let me add another six for three units total, five from the box itself and a conversion with my spare Gobbos and this box. My Night Gobbo army will finally start to feel more Night Gobbo. :D

So after a hour long call, lady at HRMC can't see why my account has been flagged, advised I fill in the return anyway even though I'm not self-employed, and fill in a seller report for eBay, even though I haven't gone over the £6K capital gains limit on either year. Lovely. 🙃🫥

Wake up to a letter for HRMC wanting me to do a self assessment, 100% due to my meager eBay sales crossing £1000 last year, so now going to have to waste an hour of my morning ringing them on Monday to explain its just second hand sales which can't be taxed.

Had to head out unexpectedly earlier, but after getting back, have started some skin tones going on the first wave. Had excess of the green mix left over so have added the Troll Hag to the painting pile.

Really pleased with the starting tone on the Giantess.

#Nerdlings #Warhammer #OldWorld #WHFB
A picture of the models I showed earlier with their initial skin tones, Giantess has a mix flesh tone and then a Sepia wash over it, while the Goblins and the Troll hag share a base green mix I made up, but then five different green shades/tones were used to give them some variety.

Sharing another pic as they are now out of the box (and it was obscuring them quite a lot) got a couple of jobs to do, but then plan on painting this afternoon/evening.

Will share progress as I go along. 😊

Feels like I haven't painted in a while, been busy with other things, but I have a real strong inspiration to finally get started with my Old world O&G army. Really want to see how the Giantess and the mounted Shaman turn out.

Still spending at least a bit of time each day adding another couple of layers of bricks before letting it dry. The tower wall is starting to get towards the top, and managed to make pretty good looking arches on the highest and last two windows. 😊

#Nerdlings #Terrain #Mordheim
The continued work on my chruch for Mordheim/Frostgrave, a few more rounds of brickwork down and arches around the rear two windows. I have one of my original Mordheim pieces from back in the late 90s early 00s which I will share alongside this one when I'm done, the difference is quite shocking already.

Got to Natlan last night, been great going through the archon story, Fontaine was so fun (I did do Nod-Krai out of turn, but I wanted to raise Lauma and Nefer, plus those free primos!!) got Kachina, and I adore her already in the story, my Munchkin Mayhem squad gets ever closer.

Waited most of the day for the yearly gas checkup, no show... so blew the rest of the day playing Genshin, hopefully will be more productive tomorrow.

On the plus side got Arlecchino after 4 rolls, then switched to Zhong Li and got him on the third, so can't complain there.

For those wondering about the terrain piece I started for the Nerdlings comp last month, still moving along, a lot of it now has brickwork to the roof point and the porch has its done too, a lot higher on the tower, but still more to go.

#Nerdlings #Warhammer #Terrain #Mordheim #Frostgrave
A pic of the ruined church as its continued construction moves onward. Can see I've started the tricky stage of brickwork around the lip of the inner tower (above what would be the inside that has collapsed below... I'm thinking its going to have beams places below as if folks loyal to the church have done their best to support what's left of the tower, but will see how it goes, once the roof is in place that will also explain why that part just didn't collapse. A shot of the other side of the church showing the continued brickwork climbing slowly up the rear of the tower.

Reporter "So now that you've been playing Genshin for nearly 5 months, do you have a fave character from the story?"

Yes I do, that would be 'Disaster Mom' Xianyun 😅😊

#GenshinImpact #Xianyun #Gaming
A pic of official Hoyoverse art of Xianyun from Genshin Impact, also known as the Adeptus Cloud Retainer, and how I and now Kethmok refer to her as Disaster Mom. What was funny is I started calling her that, and then got the Razor Anecdote, which cemented the name even further, we love her. Sadly its likely going to be a while before I can roll for her banner amd actually get her as a playable character, but when she does come back, Oh believe me I will be saving up Primos and coins that month. :) Oh and for those wondering why we consider the 'Disaster Mom' thing funny, its because she is so socially aloof, disjointed from Human Society, but she can't stop adopting children, she's really a sweetheart under all the pomp and circumstance of the Adepti.

Been gaming with the youngest two today as its the last day of half term (well the last I'm not at work for most of it 🙃) but I am thrilled so many folks liked my WiP.

Please if you haven't already go and vote for the others, they are amazing.

Will be sharing more of it as its built.

Mini of the month - terrain-ing day

Entry 16 by @welshwych.bsky.social

the ruined Church (WIP)

#Nerdlings #MiniOfTheMonth
A selection of pictures of the ruined Church building I was attempting to finish for the Nerdlings comp this October, I realized probably about last Thursday it was unlikely to make it, but was attempting to carry on in a hopeful try to get it there. It has a core shape for support, then making a haphazard Frostgrave/Mordheim look for brickwork cutting what will be hundreds of little varying polystyrene bricks as I go, with the added advantage that this method fixes any errors on the underframe by covering gaps etc. The roof will be laid with thin Balsa wood, and then tiles created to make it look authentic as possible including loose and dangling ones, still debating on a spire for the tower, wasn't going to with the original entry but now I have more time may do so. As for the entry itself, pretty much got the brickwork to the edge of the roof on the single story part of the building, but still over halfway to do for the tower. It has a main door with planned door on hinges (hopefully) a number of windows most with wooden frames in place, also a frame for roof is there, but held by sellotape at the ridge just to give those looking a better of idea of where I am headed. Will keep updating my progress over on my feed, but even though I didn't make it, this comp has inspired me to get going on the fantasy ruins terrain, I have several buildings planned inc an Inn. Oh and there is a WHFB Chaos Warrior and a 32mm Frostgrave figure in the shots for scale.

First animated crush without saying your age

Either her or Firestar from Amazing Friends, both were a 'moment of clarity' in my youth. (Also explains my large collection of Spandex/Lycra leggings/bodysuits 😅)

So, gave Zenless Zone Zero a try, its pretty good, A bit flashy (Cyberpunk though 😇) and I do prefer Genshin, but got to the ability to make rolls and could make 2 of the 8 cost standard ones.
I got Nicola and Anby on my first (equivilent of C1s right off the bat) and then on my second...

Getting an extra 9hr shift yesterday on what is a traditionally a day off for me is really effecting my ability to get my Nerdlings monthly together on time. I still have the week, but damn it's going to be close, could end up done just in time, or just missed out. I'll share regardless.

Can't share much, but the project is coming along very nicely, although I have put a clock over my head, this needs to be ready for painting by the end of Sunday at the very worst... so going to have to get a move on.

I am however starting to put the terrain piece together for the Nerdlings comp today. Lots of polystyrene and toothpick pins. 😊

Had a bit of a heart attack this morning as PC wouldn't start, fan trying to turn, light flashing on graphics card, thankfully unplugging it for 2mins allowed it to reboot, and it seems my Nvidia app uninstalled itself at some point... so updated and hopefully problem solved.

And its done, took a slight bit longer & still have some bits to sort on the table, but the new set up is done. Moved Contrast to my little shelf above the wacom, Shades are in the rack by the lamp, all other paints on that shelf to left. Hopefully this fits me better.

#Nerdlings #Hobby #Hobbyspace
A pic of the new set up, have maneuvered modelling area/painting area to the left, all my standard paints are on that shelf on the left with two vertical painting racks at the back, Shades on clear rack in front by the lamp and all Contrast now on shelf above the Wacom. The key change her is having the Wacom permanently set up rather than hidden away, as I'd often think, hmm in the mood to draw and then realized I needed to get it all out and set up and didn't bother. My Keyboard and monitor are now dead centre on the corner, which while typing this feels a lot better, so happy with that change. I have lost some modelling space with the new set up, and I doubt the bases pots will stay in those spots long term, but I am doing more model construction in the living room anyway, and in fact moved the larger green cutting mat into the living room, and brought the smaller one in here to bridge the gap under the shelf to the desk.
