After a few weeks in which I really haven’t been doing terribly well, a mixture of illness, the black dog and fatigue, I am really trying to get back into the swing of life, and actually do some stuff.
So lets try to get stuff done and not simply be depressed and sleep my life away!

I am going to be printing the Solar Auxilia dudes, as they are going to be specifically for only use with the Ultramarines.
I have printed the Assault Squad, alongside two new Sgts for the Tactical Squads, and I will be printing a second Carnodon.
I will need to buy a new Vanquisher however.
But I am planning on getting most of this ready by the end of January.
What I Am Modelling
I started out the week with a bunch of stuff to add to the Dark Angels, starting with a Company Master.
Then a Lieutenant armed with a Power Sword
And to finish this trip of officers, a Librarian of the Deathwing
Plus a unit of Aggressors
And here is a unit of Space Wolves Reavers for their Combat Patrol
I then painted up a unit of Neurogaunts for the Tyranids, which completes all the models from Leviathan
I needed a palette cleanser so I started work on my Aurox for the Solar Auxilia, painting with an Urban Camo scheme, that I am quite happy with
As well as a test model for the Ultramarines Auxilia allies, who will be the Calth High Guard 105th Regiment
After that I painted these Paragon Warsuits for my Argent Shroud, all armed with Multi-Meltas
And finally some Rockgut Troggoths to complete my Gloomspite Gitz Spearhead!
So what’s up next
- Blood Angels Land Speeders
- Domicile Shell x 2 & Guardian Idol
- Dark Angels Invader ATV x 2
- Ardboyz x 10, Itonskulz Boyz & Warchanter
- Treelord Ancient
- Leman Russ Vanquishers x 2
- Squig Herd x 20 & Herders x 4
- Dark Angels Redemptor Dreadnought and Deathwing Company Master
- Space Wolves Intercessors x 10
- Karazai
What I Am Reading
Currently listening to Reaper Man by Sir Terry Pratchett and I have to say the new recordings are exemplary, really something just so good about them.
Also enjoying The Saint by Dan Abnett, its a big book though and will take me some time I think.
What Tabletop Games I Am Playing
Had my first game of Spearhead against Paul, using the Orruk Warclans Kruleboyz Spearhead
As per usual I lost, but not terribly so
What Video Games I Am Playing
I finally finished God of War (2018), I will still be going back to clear up some collectables, and overall it was a decent game.
Not gonna lie, tempted to add it to Steam if I can get a good deal sometime.
I also started playing Space Marine 2 on Stream, got two campaigns going, one on my own as a single player!
And a second one I am starting with Chris and Graham!
I also started a playthrough of Marvel’s The Avengers on PlayStation 5
Originally I was gonna play it on the Steam Deck, but it only had a Silver rating on there from ProtonDB, and apparently the PS5 version has Spider-Man and the Steam version doesn’t, so yeah, no brainer
I picked up the disc for £5 when the live service side shit down a while back
What I Am Creating
The second Combat Patrol Magazine Battle Report got published, and it included the debut of my new intro video!
What I Am Spending
I got issue 3 of Combat Patrol to add a squad of Infernus Marines to the Dark Angels
I also treat myself for my birthday in a few weeks to the Hyperkin DuchesS, a controller release I have been looking forward to a lot!
I also got a few more Army Painter Fanatics paints, mostly replacing very well used Citadel ones
And I added to my Steam games library
