Well this year I did an amazing 1184 miniatures and I loved painting most of them.

But it’s time to plan for the new year, so what have I got in mind to paint for 2022.

Paint My Primaris Ultramarines Army for Warhammer 40,000

This is a project that’s been in the works for a while, most of it’s built.

But I want to paint an all Primaris Ultramarines 4th Company army.

In the box right now is the Marines from Dark Imperium, Indomitus & Shadowspear along with a few other kits mostly obtained via Conquest/Imperium

It’s a long list but I want to get it done.

Paint A 2000 Orruk Warclans Army for Warhammer Age of Sigmar

The basis of this army will be the Kruleboyz from Dominion, as well as the Ironjawz premium kit from Mortal Realms.

Gonna do a Big Waaagh Army, with a core of Kruleboyz and then an elite smattering of Ironjawz.

Paint Two Gangs For Carnivale

Really simple, gonna get painted a gang for The Guild and one for the Rashaar mostly based on the two starter set gangs but with a few little additions if I can get them.

Paint All The Models For Silver Tower & Shadows Over Hammerhall

Again simple, but these two games have been sitting on the pile of potential for far far too long.

Paint The Warhound Titan

This is left over from last year but I am determined to get it done!!!

So what’s on the immediate list going into January?

  1. Blades of Khorne Flesh Hounds & Karanak
  2. Confederacy of Independent Systems Droiddekkas x 4
  3. Ork Weirdboy
  4. Age of Sigmar Endless Spells
  5. Death Guard Caestus Assault Ram
  6. Adeptus Custodes Vertus Praetors x 3 & Shield-Captain on Dawneagle Jetbike
  7. Adeptus Mechanicus Skitarii Rangers x 10
  8. General Grevious
  9. Ork Flash Gitz x 5
  10. Blood Ravens Lieutenant with Storm Shield

Well Christmas has come and gone and it was really nice!

Prior to the big day, my VideoGameGeek Secret Santa was fucking amazing and bought me the entire Half-Life series on Steam, including Half-Life Alyx!

Christmas Day we went to my sister in laws for dinner with Megans parents.

But in general it was a really really good day.

And I am super happy with my Christmas presents for everyone.

Our traditional Christmas Day breakfast was however delayed to Boxing Day and it was amazing!

I hope everyone had an amazing holiday!

I however did not so much have one, I am going through a really stressful period and have developed a number of abscesses including one on my ear canal.

I have been in hospital for them and am now on bed rest, pain killers and antibiotics.

What I Am Modelling

I started the week by painting the B1 Battledroids for the Confederacy of Independent Systems.

This was followed by painting the big man himself, Constantine Valdor for the Legio Custodes.

After that I painted some Skitarii Vanguard for my Mars army.

After that I finished up my Commissars for the Death Korps of Krieg.

So what’s up next?

  1. Flesh Hounds x 10 & Karanak
  2. Confederacy of Independent Systems Droiddekkas x 4
  3. Ork Weirdboy
  4. Age of Sigmar Endless Spells
  5. Death Guard Caestus Assault Ram
  6. Adeptus Custodes Vertus Praetors x 3 & Shield Captain on Dawneagle Jetbike
  7. Skitarii Rangers x 10
  8. General Grievous
  9. Ork Flash Gitz x 5
  10. Blood Ravens Lieutenant

What Video Games Am I Playing

I played though the Burial at Sea Episode 1 DLC for BioShock Infinite, the video of which is now on YouTube.

I am playing through Halo Infinite a little bit each day, and I am rather enjoying it.

Also doing some multiplayer each day to build up the levels and get me some Microsoft Reward points.

I am also continuing to play through Far Cry 2, but it’s a frustrating game.

What I Am Creating

I uploaded the Burial at Sea Episode 1 playthough.

What I Am Backing

No new projects, but both CoraQuest and Gloomier have now dispatched

What I Am Spending

I bought myself the Quest VR Bundle for Fanatical, which for the £12.91 I paid was pretty good.

Gave me 8 decent games, and helped fill out my Oculus Quest library.

I also bought Street Fighter V Champion Edition, it’s been on my radar for a while and TopCashback had extra cash back for CDKeys, so I figured, why not.

I also grabbed a couple bits of DLC, specifically Mollog’s Mob for Warhammer Underworlds Online and the Craftworld Aeldari pack for Gladius.

I also bought some movies, I bought the Matrix Trilogy in UHD using a gift card Microsoft randomly gave me, and I also bought The Phantom Menace on 4K Blu Ray.

Nerdy Musical Advent 2021 – 24th December – Don’t Sail There No More – Misbehavin’ Maidens

We started the year with a NSFW song, so lets end it on another one!

Last year, the post which had a song by the Misbehavin’s Maidens was the most read post of the year, so I figured why not repeat that, but more to the point its a good nerdy, filhy ditty!

Nerdy Musical Advent 2021 – 21st December – 100 Percent – SΔMMUS

SΔMMUS is a rapper, who on the surface, sounds quite mainstream, you could easily mistake her for a muggle rapper.

But come on, look at the her name, and then listen to her music, yeah she is one of us!

But lets not undersell her, she has mainstream connections as well, her brother is part of Gym Class Heroes, and she cites influences as diverse as Weezer and Kayne West

And as for herself, wow, what a woman, she has a PhD in Science and Technology from Cornell, I mean that’s impressive.

What I love about her music though, is the way she blends nerd topics, with African beats, and stuff that’s quite ordinary. I absolutely love that she makes music which celebrates blackness and her interests without pigeonholing herself whatsoever!

Nerdy Musical Advent 2021 – 22nd December – Skullcrusher Mountain – Jonathan Coulton

JoCo is no stranger to this list, although this is his sole entry in the list this year.

so why not go with his signature songs, and the idea of a half-monkey, half-pony monster!

I loved playing this in Rock Band back in the day, its a great little song with lots of funny imagery!

Nerdy Musical Advent 2021 – 21st December – I Ship It – The PDX Broadsides

We return to The PDX Broadsides whom I featured back on the 5th, and this is a nice little song about shipping.

Shipping is a fandom term for Relationshipping in which is the desire by the fandom to see specific people enter a romantic, or perhaps even just a sexual relationship.

And lets face it we have all done some shipping, and why not, sometimes characters will just work, hence why its often done in fan fiction

Lindsay is a fan of a specific form of shipping called slash!

Nerdy Musical Advent 2021 – 20th December – A Song for People Who Never Watch Star Trek – Warp 11

If you know me, then you know I am a massive massive Trekkie, I mean my earliest memory is watching Space Seed on a black and white TV in my parents sitting room in a block of flats while playing with my A-Team van as Paul cried because he wanted the van off me!

Anyway, I cannot even say how much I absolutely love Star Trek, and I don’t care which series it is, even the rubbish episodes have something for them.

So of course I love any kind of Star Trek music, and Warp 11 are some of my favourites.

Yet there are still people who never watch Star Trek and I find that super weird!

Nerdy Musical Advent 2021 – 19th December – All In Together – Professor Elemental

Is it weird that this is in its third year and yet Professor Elemental has only appeared thus far as a featured artist, and now in entry 67 of the series does he finally make an appearance on his own!

Well this is a great song about how being weird is good!

Nerdy Musical Advent 2021 – 18th December – On The Planet Earth – Danielle Ate The Sandwich

I really like this song, its sweet, its folksy, and I really quite like the Ukulele for stuff like this, and this song features Jack Conte, who has a style I really like.

Nerdy Musical Advent 2021 – 17th December – Kilogram – The Doubleclicks

By

The Doubleclicks have their second entry of the year, with the song Kilogram from their Love Problems album.

Its a cool little ditty about the replacement of the International Prototype of the Kilogram with a mathematically formula the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant h to be 6.62607015×10−34 when expressed in the unit J⋅s, which is equal to kg⋅m2⋅s−1, where the metre and the second are defined in terms of c and ΔνCs .
