WIP Grots

 

Without writing your age, post a model that shows how long you've been playing. 

#IAmThisModelYearsOld

WIP Wednesday 

Dear diary...

It's been a tough couple of weeks for me and the stress of the real world has robed me of the enjoyment of escaping in my hobbies. 

Most of my wife's family have been in and out of the ER - all for different reasons, the drunk driver who nearly killed my mother is out and was caught drinking again, I was quarantined because a co-worker caught Covid (I've tested negative), other stressors at work make my day job unrewarding, my local gaming scene has evaporated because a once large community keeps breaking into smaller groups that don't get along... yadayadayada.

Long story short, I've been struggling with burnout so I've decided to go back to some of my earliest models and squad of these little guys are getting batch painted and now have the base colors blocked in. 

I have been selling some stuff on ebay that I don't think I'll use again and that's been a little cathartic, but then sometimes I feel like I'm giving up and it bums me out. 

As a creative type, I've got this burning urge to create, especially painting traditional paintings (not models) and writing lately but when I sit at the keyboard or easel, I lock up and all of the urge turns to doubt about my abilities and nothing gets done.

Callidus Assassin

This is my newly painted Callidus assassin, Mary Poppin-yourbackfield. She scores points. I hate that I have to play one of these to stay competitive. Yar.

2024 ITC Rankings

Judging by my win-loss record, I've had a terrible year playing Warhammer 40k. Needless to say, I'm flabbergasted at the final rankings of the 2024 ITC season. What?!? I placed in the bottom 10% at the LVO; I placed even worse than players who dropped out after 3 games, so I'm not sure how those points and placings are tabulated, nor how season points are calculated but I'm in the 2,000s for the USA rankings? One bonus though, I'm the top "Dusty" in the world.
