Yesterday for day 723 of the #HobbyStreak I started work on these Tzzangors for the Thousand Sons

Just some skin and a couple other bits based and washed so far

Well it fits!

Let’s hope this solves the issue, it’s all booted up and working ok

Will need to fit a new RGB hub at some point

Got a Peerless Assassin, the obvious choice for an air cooler to replace the broken down AIO, also needed a fan hub too cause the AIO fan hub is what’s broken

Christmas 2025!

For us this year, Christmas was quiet and pretty simple. We spent it at Megans sisters place, where I made the Christmas Dinner, after spending the Christmas Eve there watching Muppets Christmas Carol. I made fresh cranberry sauce, which was basically cranberries cooked in port…

For us this year, Christmas was quiet and pretty simple. We spent it at Megans sisters place, where I made the Christmas Dinner, after spending the Christmas Eve there watching Muppets Christmas Carol. I made fresh cranberry sauce, which was basically cranberries cooked in port with sugar, I am not a fan but everyone else is, and they seemed to enjoy it, better than shop bought. I then cooked the rest of the dinner, starting with honey glazed red cabbage cooked in red wine, normally I would add sultanas, but no one fancied them.

Been playing a lot of Shadow of the Tomb Raider, had to restart it cause the Linux and Windows version don’t like each others cloud saves

Lots of fun so far

Got to the bottom of the issue with my PC being a twat

It’s the AIO

Rather it’s the fan hub that runs the AIO, it’s straight up died on me

Very annoying, but this does explain the issues

For days 720-722 of the #HobbyStreak, been working on this Lord-Vigilant, however, my Soktek Green has ran dry, and thus this as far as I can get with him until I am paid on Monday and can go spend the pennies on a new pot

This always makes me so nervous

Been having a few crashes in some games, it seems to be a CPU issue, so updated the UEFI firmware to the latest version and disabled PBO

Will give this a try and see if it helps with the instability

Finished up these 4 Janissaries, the elite infantry of the Iron Sultanate for Trench Crusade

The Janissaries are all just about done, working on bases now, this scheme trench rotted wood always worries me in the early steps, I know it looks good in the end but it takes a while & a lot of paint to come together!

This is day 719 of the #HobbyStreak

Finished up this Wolf Lord in Terminator Armour, a tiny kitbash, head swap and popping the banner on his back, but I think it turned out ok

For day 718 of the #HobbyStreak, I am retuning to these Janissaries for the Iron Sultanate

The game ended with a victory for myself, more down to luck than skill!

Warhounds dying in 3.0 can be brutal, it took out 3 of my tanks, a whole squad of Grahams Tech-Thralls and the. Caused everything else on the table to take hits too!

For day 717 of my #HobbyStreak yesterday, I started work on this Wolf Lord in Terminator Armour, a very minor kitbash of a Leviathan captain

I also finished a pair of Khâls as well, very nice model, with an awesome tactical rock!

Every single year, eBay & Amazon scams target parents with no clue about PCs

Not sure what can really be done, I always offer to help friends avoid this situation in which they pay over the odds for hardware so old that it ran the census in the Byzantine Empire

Been working on these Hearthkyn Warriors for days 715 & 716 of my #HobbyStreak, didn’t get that much done on either Christmas Day or Boxing Day, but enough was done blocking in some colours

No complaints about what I got for Christmas this year!

Making this wiped me out, yay fatigue

But everyone seemed to enjoy it, so that’s brilliant, had to cut back on the garlic as one family member is having issues with it right now, but I think it all tasted pretty great

Still cooking!
