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.

Space Marine Armorium Cherub

Out of all of the horrors in the Warhammer 40k universe, the cherubs creep me out the most... It's one of the most grimdark things in the universe.  #miniaturepainting #paintingwarhammer #grimdark #warhammercommunity #armoriumcherub #spacemarines #astartes #adeptusastartes #new40k

Las Vegas Open Results

I had a blast in the Warhammer 40k Champs at the Las Vegas Open. I went with my buddy, Kyle and slugged it out for 3 days of gaming, big crowds, and casino food. Here are a few pics from the event. I only went 1-5 in the Champs and 1-1 in the Sunday RTT but it was still a great weekend of playing games. Two of my losses were a combined 5 points and I felt so close to having a .500 weekend.  Pro tip: Thunder wolf cavalry are tough to play in GW/WTC/Frontline terrain maps. You end up bottlenecked in your own table half. I was my own wolf jail... I'm a little embarrassed by my score, but I learned quite a bit and I think I'm going to focus on my silver Space Marines or Orks for the next year.  #Warhammer40k #lvo2025 #spacewolves40k
