Got another friends kill team tournament coming up. Gonna hopefully have my necrons fully finished by then (couple of weeks) 🤞😫

Today's charity shop fond I'm very much looking forward to reading

Escapism is important

Well I just got some news that's both pissed me right off and sent my anxiety through the roof. Yay.

Lovely looking stug!

Hmm... In my view the obvious choice here is the a34 comet... Or Churchill. One to defend you and the rest will attack. Comet for firepower, Churchill for protection? 🤔

Ok, so I'd always been skeptical about this crackle paint stuff, but saw an awesome video using it on bases and I have to say I'm an instant convert! Ancient desert bases here we go. Flakes off quite easily though, so thinking either a thicker layer or a PVA seal on it 🤔 #nerdlings

Might do some of my buildings in this scheme

Well, I actually wrote something tonight for the first time in well over a year. Beginning of a sequel to my #scifi #novel It's not much but it feels pretty good to do something for it and feels good to practice my #writing skills again 😁 Still trying to get 1st book published though

Ever shifting hobby goals at the moment. Had planned to get my tau pathfinders finished, but there's still so many tiny details on them I just can't face it. Focusing instead on my necrons, then might shift gear back to my bren carrier 😱 Lots of mojo ATM #nerdlings #histscalemodels

Tell me, what's the stuff that you know a lot about? For me it's sww Climbing Arctic exploration Mountaineering Scale modelling

Repost with your most popular artwork

More necrons progress tonight. All looking fairly coherent which I'm pleased with! #WIP #nerdlings #killteam #40k #warhammrrcommunity

These guys are coming along rather nicely. Very happy with the glow effects I've created (though naturally camera is making them look quite muted) Headcannoned that they're made of an ancient ceramic thing. Hence the bone coloured armour. #nerdlings #warhammercommunity

Celebrated my future promotion by spending a good 40 minutes on these guys. Coming along nicely, just the weapons to do next really. Recon another two hours or so should have them finished 🤞🤞

Well, I didn't get the job I applied for but the head teacher has basically created a role for me he thinks will suit my skillset more, so good outcome I guess 😁 Thanks to those who wished me luck!

First of my hierotek circle Necrons finished! His basing stuff fell off but I was going to redo it anyway. Rather chuffed with this! #nerdlings #warhammercommunity

Therapy today, probably the first session where it's felt genuinely useful. Came away feeling not better about myself but hopeful maybe? Feel a bit more energised and motivated than I have in a while though which I'm taking as a big win

Got a job interview for a sort of promotion in work and to say I'm bricking it is an understatement

After tonight's kill team antics I've realised that I have (excluding scale models) exactly 2 fully painted and based minis 😅 #nerdlings #warhammercommunity
