Still Very Tired

The last week has been dominated still by sleep issues so not much to say, but I have an appointment with a doctor on Monday about it.

What I Am Modelling

I started off by painting the Abhorrent Ghoul King on Royal Terrorgheist for my Flesh-Eater Courts.

This now completes that army to 2000 points and completes my resolution for 2021 for Age of Sigmar.

I then built models to ensure my next 20 projects were ready to go and I got that lot finished on Saturday night.

Annoyingly I had to 3D print a couple of bits for this, first off I managed to lose the back of a head for a B1 Bartledroid for Star Wars Legion, so I basically printed off a droids head to harvest the back of it.

And when building an Imperial Knight, I got a miscast part, luckily it was a part that’s very commonly available as an STL because it allows you to magnetise a weapon, so i printed that and now my Warden has a choice of either the chainsword or the fist!

I then painted up a bust that I printed last month of a Death Korps of Krieg Infantryman.

I am currently working on a Shokkjump Dragsta for the Orks, the buggy is finished, just working on the crew now.

What I Am Reading

Not a sausage, sleep problems are making it a real issue.

What Video Games Am I Playing

A little bit of Forza Horizon 4 started the week to get me in the mood for 5!

I also decided it’s time to use my Oculus Quest seriously, and I got it up and running with my PC properly, playing some Project Cars and Star Wars Squadrons.

I also played Sonic the Hedgehog for the Mega Drive for a play through video which uploaded yesterday.

Of course with Forza Horizon 5 landing on Friday, I played an awful lot of that!

What I Tabletop Games Am I Playing

Me and Megan had a game of The Sock Game on Monday, she wasn’t well and it kinda cheered her up before lunch.

Despite her being ill, of course she still won!

Also played a game of Nature Fluxx which I surprisingly won!

What Am I Creating

I got the latest battle report uploaded in Friday night, but annoyingly there were some sound issues.

The next episode of Edge of Empire is almost finished and should be out tomorrow.

And I put up my play though of Sonic the Hedgehog on the Mega Drive up on YouTube.

What I Am Backing

Not a thing right now, nowt has taken my interest.

What I Am Cooking

I made some pulled pork on Sunday which was quite nice, must make that again soon.

What I Am Spending

Not much, but did buy some new glasses which I pick up tomorrow.

Changing Medication

By

So we think the reason I am feeling crummy, is a change in medication for my diabetes.

To be honest though, I am gonna try and tough it out, this new medication has some real positives, it’s reduced a personal issue which was causing a lot of pain, and it’s got me feeling like I have a healthy relationship with food for the first time in a long time.

The disadvantages are that my tummy has been a bit topsy turvey, and I am having eggy burps.

I have asked the doctor if we can reduce the dose slightly, so I shall see what they say.

What Am I Modeling

I started by finishing off the Necron Canoptek Wraiths, which actually completes the resolution to paint 2000 points of Necrons this year!

The first unit is armed with Transdimensional Beamers.

The second lot have no ranged weapon upgrade at all.

I then painted up three Crypt Flayers, a Crypt Infernal and a Crypt Haunter Courtier, which leaves me with just a Aberrant Ghoul King on a Royal Terrorgheist to paint for this army.

After that I painted a Lord of Virulance for the Death Guard, alongside the Plague Marines and Poxwalkers for Blackstone Fortress.

And I also managed to paint the Skitarii Marshall, who will also serve as a Secutarii Axiarch.

I have these past few days working on some Thousand Sons Terminators & Ahriman, trying out some new techniques.

I have gotten one finished and I am really happy with him.

Hopefully the rest will be finished tomorrow.

I also finally think I have this 3D printing things sorted!

So what’s coming up next week?

  1. Magos Macrotek Enginseer & Sevo-Automata x 4 (if I can find it!)
  2. Thousand Sons Terminators x 5 & Ahriman
  3. Blackstone Fortress Rogue Psykers x 3 & Negavolt Cultists x 6
  4. Stormcast Eternals Judicators x 10
  5. Ork Nobz x 6, Painboy & Warboss
  6. Death Korps of Krieg Infantry Squad x 10
  7. Legio Custodes Caladius Grav-Tank x 2
  8. Blackstone Fortress Spindle Drones x 6 & Guardian Drones x 2
  9. Phase 1 Clone Troopers x 22
  10. Ork Shokjump Dragster

What I Am Reading

Not a sausage actually.

But I did finish listening to the Godblight audiobook, and really enjoyed it, some interesting plot points that the Black Library can build upon.

What Video Games Am I Playing

I played through Alex Kidd in Shinobi World, a game I got for my 8th birthday, leant to my friend Simon and never saw again.

But I played it though emulation on Retroarch, and you can see that video below.

I also completed Halo 3, and I kinda wish that 343 Industries would remaster this game as it looks so much worse than the anniversary version of Halo 2.

And I have just tonight started on Halo 3 ODST, which is a beautiful game.

I also started up a Minecraft realm for my nephews, so they can have their own private area to play after a few nasty incidents in the game.

What Tabletop Games Am I Playing

Tonight I got in a three way game of 40K to start my crusade off.

I am not gonna give any spoilers away as I have made a battle report for it that will be published on Friday.

What I Am Creating

As mentioned above I played through Alex Kidd in Shonobi World and made a video if that, which you can see in that section.

I also published the Battle report for the second game of the Imperium magazine.

What I Am Backing

Still just Rawr! Velociraptor! which at the point of writing this has 2 hours left.

What I Am Cooking

Actually not a thing 🙁
