Where This is Going

 

Blogs are dying. TicTok rules all. Wargamers are weird. Okay, that last one is true, hell, all of them are true. The numbers are down and the end is in sight (again)! What to do?

Recklessly expand! That's what. I've started an Instagram channel for your random hobby picture needs. Cleverly named...Atomicwarlords go there and see. And then I think I shall try a YouTube channel for no good reason. I'm not an attractive 20-something, nor have a really good voice. Or much of an idea what to make videos of, but that won't stop this train. I For this new year I shall try less over-thinking and more doing, no matter how horrible the outcome. 

Failing is Better Than Not Trying

Myphitic Blight-haulers

 

It's fun painting up some evil. I just put the finishing touches on a trio of Death Guard Myphitic Blight-haulers. Oddly, a plastic push-to-fit kit that never had a "real" version come out. I guess it fell into the "It's good enough and we have a lot of other things to do" category. 

They painted up very quickly. It's not like my Death Guard color scheme is terribly complex to start with. 

A great way to give the Death Guard some fast, heavy firepower. While the kits are very simple, they still have nice detail. I really like the whole living daemon-tank thing they have going on. Time to use them upon my foes.

Battle Picts

 

The Grots and Tankbustas charged into a Knight seeking an easy kill. (Editor's Note: They did four points of damage then all died or fled.)

Somedays, the accidental camera shot turns out pretty artsy.

Another New Year

 

Happy 2023! This far into the future and still no proper robots. Oh well, maybe next year.

The New year. Time to take stock of what worked, what didn't, and the long list of hobby projects that were supposed to happen, but for various reasons, didn't. I got a fair bit of painting done, but really only half of my project list. I didn't play as many games as I wanted to, but life, uh, finds a way...to get in the way. 

I have heard that you should not widely proclaim what you want to do. Something to do with your brain being dumb and giving you an endorphin reward just for talking about the project, which is actually lessing the chance you will do said thing. Also, I have heard by telling people your plans you become accountable and more likely to accomplish the thing.  Also also, didn't George Washington say not to believe all that crap Lincoln said on the internet? 

I think plans are good. It gives you a solid starting point and course of action. Of course plans rarely survive contact with reality, so flexibility is key. 

Here is my plan: Game more. Paint and build more. 

Maybe finally start my long sidelined Genestealer Cult campaign. Add some Primaris to my Dark Angels. Hefty re-re-redo of my Tyranids. Paint the AdMech force that has been primed for a year. Finish up some half done projects so I may proceed forward start to more half-done projects!

Time to get started. Hope you come along for the ride.

Hobby All Year

It's Supposed to be Fun. Mostly.
