Another day and all that.
So it's been a quieter week this week. Mostly due to work being the more dominant feature of life.
But between shifts i have been working on the Soul Wars boxed set from Age of Sigmar.
I managed to assembled the Stormcast Eternals half for myself earlier in the week and over the last few days i have finished the Nighthaunt half for Carol.
We are really looking forward to trying out Age of Sigmar at long last and i hope joining it now as the second edition settles in, will prove to be a wise decision,
Today this beast arrived after being preordered at Warhammer World last weekend,
My plan is to try and get this cleaned and assembled tomorrow evening mostly. That is if i can move and function after a day of Airsoft.
40k provides more of a difficult decision for yours truly.
I have no real love for any army in 40k anymore besides the Space Wolves. But 30 years of painting space marine armour has really jaded my feelings about anything to do with the Astartes legions. On the flip side i like painting the clean lines of the aeldari. But i have no love for the army.
The new Orks really appeal. But i am more of a clean lines painter and my previous attempts to paint Orks have failed miserably as i just cant do the more rough and ready look of them.
Guess time will tell on this one. I would honestly love to go full tilt back into 40k, I just don't know which way to turn with it.
Anyway.Too much plastic glue, not enough sleep and a heck of a week at work have meant. It's time to sign off from the hobby world for the evening. I will try to write a UrbanMatz table review when i next get the chance. So it is coming...just slowly.
A place of musing, mumblings and as of now..mad, feverish posts about all manner of wargaming

What a few days.
Hi folks,
nope the blog hasn't gone dead again. It's just been a manic few days. Expensive, exciting, exhausting but great.
So where to start.
Well lets skip back to Saturday. As anyone who read Fridays post, follows me on twitter or even Facebook will attest. I went to Warhammer world in Nottingham.
Obligatory Rhino APC pic.
And what a day it was. Left the house just after 6am and go home just before 10pm. Shattered. pretty broke and loving life.
You see when we left we were just playing Middle earth sbg. But when we came back...well. Middle earth sbg, Age of sigmar and had per-ordered the new 40k 'Wake the dead'. So that was one heck of a visit. But if you have ever been Warhammer World, then you know just how amazing a place it is. Hobby heaven. We spent loads...and i mean loads. We feasted at Bugman and we trawled the shops before drooling over the cabinets in the exhibition halls. 100's of pics were taken and old embers of the hobby were fanned into raging infernos.
This was the haul from the day minus the pre-ordered 40k set.
A might haul indeed i think you will agree.
Yesterday was spent recovering, picking up some supplies and ordering some new painting lamps, a ton of scenery from Amera Plastics and finally a pair of 'Detolf' glass display cabinets and lighting from Ikea.
Today and it was like Christmas. The lamps arrived and will be helpful over the coming dark months of winter. But the big item finally arrived. The folding table and mat from the folks at UrbanMatz.
I have done a 2 part review (as i cant seem to get 2 videos to merge into 1 curse you windows 10).
But suffice to say. Well impressed. I will probably do another blog post later with a written review of the pair. But for now here is a link to my very amateur video review.
So yeah...i dont like going having my pic taken, let alone going on camera. But thats a review done for a few folks that asked for one. Once the scenery turns up i will pop up my thoughts on that, same with the Detolf cabinets when they arrive. There will also be hobby updates once my brain unscrambles from the last few days and i settle back into the daily grind of work :(
Thats it for today from one tire but massively enthused hobbyist
