Morning all. I got up at 3.30am. Good Times.

Hobby wise for me depends on the postman. Yes it’s a man, I spoke to him earlier. It’s been about a month since I received Conquest so hopefully another lot comes today.

1) The change from AoS to AoS with the Generals Handbook. Suddenly a good game became a great one. I really don’t get to play it enough. Still not used all my newer Stormcast toys.

2) Ignoring Game of Thrones. There are usually bits of the big GeeDubya 40k events where the plot is a little bit off.

Calgar’s Big plan is to damage the Vengeful Spirit forcing Abbadon to depart, because he’s desperate to not lose his precious flagship. Yet in previous campaigns he has been swanning around in the Planet Killer. Surely he took the same precautions? [/spoiler]

3) As an advanced technique an expert can make it look brilliant. An amateur can make it look terrible. Saying that we have the best tools we’ve ever had with weathering powders etc to make it look great. In my head I can see a hellbrute painted on one side and the other almost black and silver were the paint has been flamed off. Almost like Twoface. The anti weathering is the important bit in this case.
