Not one of the weather forecast apps or sites or apps agrees on what’s in store here today.

I hope that means snow.

I know it means nothing.

But can’t a 36 year old dream?!

Two new Store Anniversary miniatures are rolling out for Warhammer Store anniversaries in 2026. There’s an Aeldari Autarch with dragon fusion pistol and warglaive for 40k, and Soulblight Gravelords Vampire Korthrain, the Crimson Blade for Age of Sigmar.

At the end of last year I managed to get my converted seekers painted. These guys use scopes from intercessors, and barrels from Pteraxii Skystalkers. The sergeant nabbed some bits from the rapier crew. #bloodangels #seekers #paintingwarhammer #gw #horusheresy

Nekrosor Ammentar is ready to unleash some pain alongside his buddy Nightbringer upon Titus and the 500 Worlds in next week's Warhammer pre-orders.
Which happens to also include a Tomb World Boarding Actions terrain set. As a Boarding Actions fan, yay!

Properly obsessed with how this one of the Rotswords Games Workshop sent my way came out.
I was going for a yellowish green but missed, so took the chance to try shading each panel down individually with contrast glazes.
Experiment. You may surprise yourself.

After maybe 15 months (!) of sporadic effort, I’ve finally finished painting Abraxia and her entourage. I wrote the novel faster.

With the cold clear air the moon looks utterly gorgeous over Sheffield right now.

I wonder what's going on in the news today.

*Looks for all of 2 seconds*

Yeah I'm just gonna go hide back at the hobby desk making schemes and recipes.

New Maggotkin of Nurgle miniatures are here, and I leapt straight flu into painting 5 Rotswords. It may be half a unit, but they have a full unit’s flair. Fully recommend for fellow Nurgle fans.

Well, my paint recipes document (spread across 4 tabs because its heft slows my PC something rotten) just crossed 80,000 words.

There's a joke here about a novel paint style.

There’s a Warhammer Preview coming on January 16th, and in addition to that news a reveal of Garreon the Corpsemaster.

There are four new Chaos-flavoured Battleforces coming to Warhammer 40,000, one for each of the Chaos Gods.

My eye is immediately drawn to the Emperor's Children Lords of Excess box because all that infantry? Yes
But 3 Blight Drones? That gives me ideas.

Between my fascination with Rotswords and Sloven Knights and long time favouring of Nurgle (even if I do keep getting ill recently), I can see my New Year New Army being a wholesale leap into Maggotkin already.
And then their rules pull me in more.

Raise an almighty stench with Festus the Leechlord and his Rotbringer lackeys in Battletome: Maggotkin of Nurgle

On the one hand, missed out on breaking the 1,000,000 hit boundary by 1%.

On the other, it’s great site traffic growth compared to last year and even more so over the past few, especially with a relatively niche paint style and in a space dominated by video.

Let’s see what this year brings!

I started 2026 staying up until 3:35 painting miniatures.
A major departure from my usual staying up until 2:35 painting miniatures.

2026 dawns on Bluesky, and I’ve had an Alf inflicted on me in my feed.
