This past weekend I did a charity pairing stream to raise some money for the Willow Foundation, an amazing charity that organises special days for seriously ill young adults, like my childhood friend Lee Dunford, who sadly passed away, but benefitted from one of those special days.

So I painted the full Space Marines Combat Patrol from the Armageddon box, I did this in 24 hours, well cause I am old it was two shifts of 12 hours, I am not physically capable of doing it in one shot

The first thing finished in day one was the Land Speeder

Then early on day 2 I finished the Intercessors

And with an hour to spare I got finished the Vanguard Veterans

Librarian

And Capatin

In the end we raised £175 for the cause, £160 on the day followed by a other donation yesterday

I am super happy with how much we raised, in the meantime if you want to donate, you can do so here

What I Am Reading

I finished up Daemonslayer by William King which was as remembered, very very good.

I then listened to Nocturne by Dan Abnett, which was very good, and I do wonder why Mr Abnett hasn’t written for the TV series yet.

After that I devoured Tank by Mark Urban, its dad history, but it was fun to listen to.

I am still reading Traitor General by Dan Abnett as part of The Lost, and I am currently listening to Renaissance of the Daleks by Christopher H. Bidmead

It was also Humble Choice and that got me
