Have two Guard armies Scions & Krieg with separate basing, but I have decided to unify them, so some rebasing is needed

Printed off some 25mm & 28.5mm bases so I can crack on with that, plus extras for the Mandrakes

I am sure I have personally said some shitty things, in fact I am positive I have

Things I am probably ashamed of, some quite likely are online

I hope that as I have gotten older I have matured and become a better person

This stuff is just really bad though

Finished Assassin's Creed Syndicate, was good, but some of the extra content was really bad in terms of quality

Got the Jack to Ripper expansion yet to play and a few achievements to unlock!

Needed something to organise my 3.0 tokens & this lovely little design was on the purple site, so grabbed it & printed it, works pretty well, but somehow I lost a pinned token somewhere!

We are getting to the point where the graphical jump between generations has been getting smaller

I don’t what the next generation will be like but I suspect that there will be more upscaling and more ray tracing but beyond that who knows

Michael Botterill @biggeordiegeek.uk · 1d

That’s a nice colour

Mike Brooks writes amazing books

Met him at the Glasgow WorldCon last summer, very tall man with very tall hair and damn me he is one fine gentleman, charming and friendly

Think I Am Getting There

So my efforts to get my life back on track and things back to a semblance of normality are working.

I have some to paint, considering perhaps trying out some drybrushing for them, but there are some very good recipes out there

The Moon Knight mask is finished, a couple of layer shifts I am not 100% happy with, but I think it’s not too bad, fits @magickmogwai perfectly so should be good for the nibbling

Tool 36 hours and 43 minutes to print!

It’s going to be a Mr Knight mask from Moonknight that my nibbling asked me for

They want to cosplay as him and use it on Halloween

19 hours left to go, this will be a massive job when it’s finished, I just hope the nibbling appreciates it!
