Crusaders are the best! By far one of ym favourites, and the Churchill in that camo pattern is amazing, I had to do one myself

More progress in Carab Culln tonight and he's almost done! Need to source some transfers for him and finish his basing but I'm liking how he's turning out!

I've made a bit more progress on my #Badab project last night, and this time it's Commander Culln! I followed a Cult of Paint guide and it's turned out nicely. Still a bit more to do but looking good!

Had a bit of a break from painting today to build up the Wight Lord for my #VampireCounts. What an absolutely amazing kit this is! Absolutely oozes with character. Just need to make sure he ranks up with the rest of the Black Knights that I've not built yet

I've kinda been working on these in the background a bit, bit the latest Cult of Paint Mordecai Blaylock video goes to show great minds think alike! I've also been working through the Characters from the #BadabWar and made a start on the secessionist leaders!

Had a canny weekend by going up to @tabletopscot.bsky.social this Sunday and had a grand time seeing all the games and stuff on show! Even had a chance to speak to the lads @modiphius.bsky.social and talk about #falloutfactions which I've been looking at for a bit now. So got some power armour!

I made a start on the #GraveGuard for my #DrakenhofTemplars #VampireCounts army for #warhammertheoldworld. Really pleas with how they're looking too, I like the trim I've done on the banner and the ... meat drum...that I feel is more disgusting that I would like to admit, haha!

What is it with this stuff everywhere in Nottingham, like I'm not averse to some different sauces, but the ketchup is terrible and doesn't know what it wasn't to be. Definitely some sauce mafia going on down here

Not bad for an afternoons bit of work, most hobby I've done in ages! Juts needing the glue to dry for the sand, then get that painted! Job done. I've still got a few other bits to do too but it should be a really nice set of scenery when done!

I really like spearhead tbh, it's nice and quick to play but still offers a bit of tactical gameplay, and each of the forces feel unique to be different to each other. My favourite spearhead is the new ossiarch one with all the big skelly monsters in

Look hobbtly! Ihave started making some more terrain like the Mausoleums I've previously made. Need a bit of polystyrene to bulk it out though. It's not the best polystyrene but it's there for structure. Once it's been covered with miliput and sanded down it'll be fine!

And then the New Weapon stats, i get it some are needed the whilst i didn’t think an initiative modifier was needed, i can see how that can create a variety of weapons. The most Egregious addition is the Damage characteristic. In my Opinion, having the damage characteristic spoilt 40k from 8th Ed

But i can see why they're going for it, having those option on the table top to represent different effects. but from the chart they're provided, 3 of them are more or less the same. I imagine however they’ll affect either movement, shooting, or initiative? but again, it just seems unnecessary.

But the addition of the new Ld based stats, have raised my eyebrows. Now if this was a skirmish game like Necromunda or the Original Rogue Trader, then i could understand the granularity of them, but its all seems a bit superfluous and unnecessary. There's a reason they weren't used from 2nd Ed 40k

My Main concerns are the Rules that were shown off. I'm usually the one to say give it a while, see how it looks, end of the day we've only seen these few previews it might be alright. My main concern is that these rules affect the flow of the game. Like i cant see the new challenges affect it much

However, I've never been a fa of "there were there the whole time!" reasoning with adding stuff. like 40k Primaris stuff still rubs some people the wrong way when that was included. but I also understand that this is a way to obfuscate the the selling the 3D prints and 3rd party sculpts.

Lets talk about the Saturnine Stuff, Whilst I’ve never been a fan, even the old images and artwork have always looked dopey to me, The design team have done a good job, You can see the evolution to the Custode Telemon and Aquilon Terminators.

The New Mk2 Centurion is such an amazing model, oozes with coolness and wouldn’t take much to turn into a variety of consuls!

So lets start with the good! The MK2 armours is great! I was never really a fan of the previous versions, especially when compared to the superior Mk3 Armour! and while the new Mk3 didn’t really do much for me (its still good but the old mk3 is the best :P) So these New Mk2s are fantastic!
