So much fun with these models. Really happy with the outcome too.

I can get behind a new addition to the dictionary for this.
Today I offer a reminder of the word ‘forswunk’ (13th century): exhausted from too much work. To be ‘foreswunk’ (my own version) is to be exhausted before you even begin.

So how are people finding folk to enjoy hobbies with these days?
I'm feeling more lost and alone lately and would love to find some friendly online communities for games like Monster Hunter Wilds or Fantasy Life: i. I get overwhelmed in big group channels and just turtle and feel even more lonely.

Started Fantasy Life i: The girl who steals time today, and it was every bit the cosy and whimsical game I was hoping. I loved FL1 back in the day, and this is more of the same with some beautiful polish and QoL on top.

A morning of assembly today. Primaris scale Assault Terminators with hammers and shields from Archies Forge. Quality is super high, though some of the arm pose options are a little questionable. Looking forward to the paint, but not going to get it done this month.

The angry boi needs a name. And basing, though I'll do that as a batch with other models at the end of the month, along with chapter symbols.

Had my first play of Civ VII tonight. Chose Catherine the Great + Rome to start and got through all of the Age of Antiquity.
It's fun, some things are less intuitive than they should be, and the UI is clunky and unhelpful at times.
Middling 6/10, looking forward to Modders fixing the issues.

Question for folks: How much time do you spend on average with friends per week vs how much time would you like to spend?
I've worked out that in the past 6 months I average around 4 hours per week and it's depressing the hell outta me. Even during Lockdown I'd spend more time with folks than that.

Today's hobbying was getting a 1k points game in. Great success for the boys in blue, tabling some Orks on turn 3!

It's important to reward yourself for getting through vast amounts of edge highlighting. I do this with a cup of tea, a biscuit, and a dope-ass character model.

So yesterday's post ended up with a squashed image for some reason. Trying something different for this one.
This was the model that got me back into 40k earlier this year: Roboute Guilliman, Primarch of the Ultramarines.

Today's progress shot. Many more edges to highlight, but happy with the current work.
