This other weekend we descended upon Nottingham to celebrate Chris’s 40th birthday, with a trip to Warhammer World and an in person DnD session

Of course he absolutely whipped my arse, but what else do you expect with Solar Auxilia
Was a great game and we met up with Dave and Chris there
For the evening we had a lovely kebab and a night of Cards Against Humanity, which was a lot of fun, and lead to a lot of laughs
The next day we returned to Warhammer World where I teamed up with Dave and his Dark Angels to play against Adam’s Death Guard
I took this 1500 points list

Adam has a reputation as an extremely good player, and I found it to be a well earned reputation!
My army was mostly wiped out in turn 2, and at the end of the game, all of Dave’s Dark Angels had been destroyed, and all I had left were ten Lasriflemen, a Line Command Squad and a Legatine Command Squad who were hiding to maintain that LD10 with the Vox Interlinks
I ended up taking a nap in the car after the game cause I was utterly shattered, whilst the others played some more
After we arrived back at the AirBnB, we had a Chinese and played some Dungeons and Dragons together for the first time in person after 3 years of playing together
It’s was a lot of fun, but by midnight we were all utterly shattered and had to go to bed!
The next day after a McDonalds breakfast we headed back to Warhammer World where we did a tour of the Hall of Miniatures, which has changed a lot since last time I was there, I failed to find the Assassin yet again!
And then myself and the Mills brothers had a doubles games of 4k a side, in which I took this list for my 2K

Myself and Graham got a commanding lead as my Lasriflemen seized the objectives early on for the highest points.
We only got to turn 3 but it was a lot of fun nonetheless
What I Am Modelling
I had a busy and productive week!
I started off the week by finishing an Opel Blitz for my early war Germans
And then for my future late war Germans, a Sturmgeschütz III, one that Graham bought me last year!
I also painted some Heretic Troopers for the Trench. Crusade Heretic Legions
Used a painting scheme influenced by WWII Germany simply because they were as evil a group that ever existed.
And a Heretic General
After that I finished up painting 20 Tech Thralls for my Mechanicum
These models were 3D printed and I much prefer them to the plastic ones
I was also able to paint up a couple of Astra Militarium characters, yet another Commissar
And a Primaris Psyker
After that I painted up some Hearhtkyn Pioneers for the Leagues of Votann, which completed that Combat Patrol
So what’s up next?
- Blood Angels Land Speeders
- Heretic Legion Warband
- True Sons Havocs x 10
- Einhyr Hearthguard x 5
- Guardians Defenders x 11
- Myrmidon Destructors x 6
- Nemesis Dreadknight
- Death Riders x 5
- Howling Banshees x 10
- Ork Boyz x 20
What I Am Reading
I finished listening to Angron: The Red Angel by David Guymer which was ok, but felt a bit of a let down as Angron barely featured at all. Lots of good concepts but also so much missed potential.
After that I listened to Something Inside by Trevor Baxendale, which was ok, but the 8th Doctor getting amnesia is kind getting a bit dull now, I am Paul McGann can really act that very well, but it’s just too used
What Video Games I Am Playing
Not played that much which is disappointing but will try better next week!
What Achievements I Have Unlocked
Hell Let Loose (Steam)
 | Breaking the Geneva Convention Kill an enemy medic while he is reviving someone. | 16/02/2026 |
 | Death From Below Destroy a vehicle with an AT mine | 16/02/2026 |
What I Am Backing
The From Mesue to Volga, 1940-1942 project successfully funded and I should get the files sometime in March
Lindsay also backed the Cube Mod Carrier project by Txarli for me, I mentioned it looked cool, and couldn’t afford it and she backed it for me to pay her back later
What I Am Spending
At Warhammer World I bought myself a Leman Russ Strike Tank, some glue, another three painting handles and some pots of paint..
The tank is going to be built as a Demolisher, cause I like Demolisher cannons and they have proven quite useful in both 40K and 30k.
As for the painting handles, well I have a fair few of them already, but I want to get to 25 cause I am far too regularly painting 25 models at a time, this one gives me 24
I grabbed the latest issue of Combat Patrol to hopefully add a couple more Field Ordnance Batteries to the Astra Militarium
