Old time Warhammer-er. But happy to explore.

Lots of Nurgle, but with the occasional Ork and other things. Mainly AoS, Warcry, Necromunda and 40K if I can be tempted.
My favourite thing in the 3rd Season Blood Bowl rulebook.

Took my youngest niece to the National Football Museum in Manchester today and then out for food.

She's having a hard time & needed a day out away from things.

I still feel a bit crap, and it has been a long day, but well worth it.

The original written rules from 1863...

I forgot to mention, I had these turn up a while ago.

"Morderin by John Blanche" kickstarter figures.

Very nice, hopefully not to delicate for my building and painting talents...

And the warband has arrived.

To be packed into a box until after the house move.

Not sure i really needed the weapon and accessory sprues.

Can confirm crew from Nurgle Blood Bowl team members works.

An hour after that one i got another one, but the account got deleted before I even looked at it.

Confirmation though that the one I did report also get deleted.

Seen a few people post about this happening, just had it come through as a DM request.

Reported and blocked.

After months of waiting my #TrenchCrusade warband have been despatched.

Warbands were sent out in order, I picked the last one to be sent out, plus accessory sprues which also delayed it. So one of the last to get their physical rewards.

If I'd known at the start I may have gone all digital...

Blighted Wilds

Looks like this could be an intresting read and would bring a lot of new things to the army.

Of particular interest is the rules for "Landmarks of Ghyran", I am already partial to building Nurgle terrain as it is, but this may be right up my alley.

Battletome

Really hoping we get some of the flavour back in the army with this, which from the blurb sounds like we may.

Also battlescrolls for the Quest units, hopefully it's not just 'Take X then take all of these', and we can add units such as Pox-Wretches to an army.

The Pox-Wretches are actually one of my favourites: mortals in the throng of Nurgle who aren't Blight Kings or Pestigors. Surely there should be swathes of similar across the lands yet we never see them.

Cankerborn, lots of character. Gives me ideas for things.

Blight Templars, nice and chunky lads. Ripe with potential and full of character.

MORE PESTIGORS. Joy.

The Quest: Darkwater units look superb.

The characters are just stunning. Nice blend of creepy and bloating with some body horror thrown in.

To get some Maggotkin leaders who aren't the usual 'Lord of...' with interesting back stories is nice.

PESTIGORS!

I'm been wanting these for so long...

Very happy Maggotkin finally get a cheaper infantry option, and that we now have Nurgle Beastmen.

A must for me. Also want some for Warcry.

Blight Kings & Rot Swords

Not that fussed by the new style of Blight Kings. May just get a set to mix in with my current ones for variety.

With Rot Swords I'm more positive, like the models & again they bring something different. Bigger unit size, so less Elite? Good.

Festus & the Sloven Knights.

I wasn't expecting these, maybe a new Festus model, but not as a daemon prince.

Really loving the Knights, giving the Maggotkin something different.

Gorgeous models, looking forward to adding both to my army. Maybe a couple of Knight units.

It seems appropriate I've been ill while seeing the Nurgle previews.

Anyone who follows me on here probably knows I like Papa #Nurgle and his generous followers.

So, as I'm sitting here short of breath, here are my first thoughts on what is coming...

Part 3 ordered to complete the Illustrated and Annotated editions of the Eisenhorn trilogy.

Very much enjoyed the first two annotated books, so looking forward to this one.

Trying to be more ruthless...

More books sorted to go.

Honourbound and Double Eagle are going as I bought special edition versions, seems silly to keep originals when others will enjoy them.
November 4, 2025 at 9:16 PM
With an eye on moving soon im trying to be ruthless and cutback on books.

A box for charity.

Enjoyed reading them at the time, but never going to reread them. Better to pass them on for someone else to enjoy than they just sit on a shelf.

Gig night.

Those Damn Crows in Birmingham.

Great gig, but I fucking hate driving in Birmingham. Getting out afterwards was shite.

I swear GW Mail Order now only have small, large or very large boxes to post stuff out.

But my KT big statue thing has arrived. Will end up broken on Necromunda.

Fun game of AoS last night against Kruleboyz.

Painfully lost GUO in second turn before he had done anything to a shed load of shooting.

In the end Maggotkin one, though we only had 3 turns due to time.

Got my Gorger warband based.

Hobby for this week.

Superglued fingers together. And to the bottle. Woo.

Another day, another session on the ongoing leg tattoo.

I think two more days, which won't be till next year now. Boo.
