Hails gents,

A mix of heat fatigue and World Cup mean I probably won’t be getting too much hobby in over the next while. I’m also at the exact halfway point for a ten day stretch in work so energy levels are being rationed.

Not that I’ll be completely away from all things hobby. I’ve always got a book on the go and I just finished ‘Master of death’ from the Black Library. I love all things vampire but this was a bit of a chore. I won’t go into any plot detail but the Old World Vampire origin stories are a never ending rotation of deals, double-crosses, betrayals and shifting alliances. When jumping between three timelines set over 2,000 years it  gets confusing quick. This was my sixth Warhammer Fantasy book on the trot so I’m heading back to the Grimdark next. The most recent Gaunt’s Ghosts book ‘The Warmaster’ arrived last week so I’m going to jump into that. Although I’ve been away from the series for so long I’m considering re-starting it and working my way through again.

I’ve also been spending time with ‘The Horror of Hugeldal’, a short adventure for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. My group are about halfway through but the next section adds a lot of new stuff in. I have time to get to grips with it though as one (a third) of the group are away next week.

D&D is still a go though with @mage once again in the driving seat. I absolutely loved running the game for the last few weeks but it’ll be nice not to have to prepare anything, just turn up and swing my sword at stuff.

Questions:

1. Tired and dreading tomorrow at work. We’re short staffed so I’m on my own for the day. It better be quiet.

2. Mostly watching The World Cup. Had a staff dinner on Friday for one of the girls leaving.

3. While not a finished project, the new weathering materials I started using recently were a step forward.

4. Where to start?! I have four or five on the go at the moment! My next really big project will be my Death Guard.

5. ‘Happy’ on Netflix. Best thing I’ve watched all year!
