Oh, hi Goose!

 

I’ve had a pretty good year for painting, and a decent one for actually playing some 40k! The Sin Eaters hit 2,000 points and finished up their Crusade, I started – and eventually completed about 1,500 points worth of – Tau, largely thanks to the Call to Arms, painted up a large BFG fleet, and started work on a second Xenos Army with my Eldar bikes. 

 

That is, for me, a LOT of models. 151, at current count, that’s a whole first-gen Pokemon game worth of little guys, girls, and robots.

Mochi, too! You are all truly blessed. Yes, some of the stands for my Chaos fleet have melted in this unreasonably hot summer. I'm fixing them.

 

I got some play in, but not quite as much as I would have liked. We had to end the Crusade a little early due to a baby happening – not mine, but our group doesn’t deal so well with a missing player due to numbers – and after that only actually got 3 regular games of 40K in through the year, which... I didn’t love? I’ve found that while I don’t mind 10th Edition, I strongly prefer the way Crusade missions work over the card nonsense.  

 

Anyway, it’s me, so I lost most of those games, but that’s fine. I had a good showing, and fully painted armies, which is what really matters.

 

On the subject of painting, which will be the focus of following blog posts, I think I continued my steady development through the year. The Sin Eaters are basically a solved problem, I know how I would paint whatever new models eventually get added – probably some scouts, maybe some firstborn schlubs – and can now paint checkmarks like a pro. My freehanding continues apace, though I’m going to need to do a better job of brush maintenance, as I have a few models this year that probably deserved to come out better if I hadn’t been flailing around with a half-ruined detail brush. So it goes. 

 

I’ll be putting together more in-depth posts about the Sin Eaters and Ky’Vash Recon Cadre over the next few days, but for now, enjoy some photographs of the silly animals I share a house with.

Unimpressed by the Sin Eaters.

Dismissive of the Ky'Vash Recon Cadre.

Need to actually upload the nice pictures of my other Badab nerds, huh?

I promised myself I would never bother with a titanic unit, and here we have two of the buggers showing up anyway!

 

Thanks, I'm quite happy with the camo dorks.
