I hit a big milestone this week.

For the first time in almost ten months, I picked up a paintbrush and painted some miniatures.

I’ve had no time or motivation to do any Hobbying for most of this year for a number of reasons but I’m now at a point where I can carve out a few minutes here and there to get painting.

A big part of this was clearing out the hobby room which had been used as a storage room and was piled high with boxes and other stuff, so it was not the kind of place I wanted to be in.

I got the room cleared and reorganised my painting setup so it’s all fresh and ready to go.

I’m hoping to get more time to paint going forward, as I’ve really missed it. Building and painting scale miniatures has always been a primary source of calm for me, helping to take my mind off things and de-stress. So it’s kinda ironic that stress and all of the things that come with it, has been the reason I’ve not been able to paint, and it created a sort of spiral which I was finding it very difficult to escape from.

Hopefully 2025 will be a smoother ride.

Glad to be back and hopefully I’ll have some stuff to share soon!

Happy Hobbying

Thoughts on Bretonnia getting female knights?

Good if true? There's nothing in the codes of chivalry that ever said it wasn't possible. There's nothing that says women can't be grail knights. Also, whichever god you subscribe to the lady being, Ladrielle (correct) or Lileath (incorrect), neither of them really make distinctions about someone's sex. It's based on purity of spirit.

There being no female knights/grail knights (minus Repanse) to this point comes from the passive application of real world biases that have no logical place Bretonnia, and don't mesh with the way becoming a grail knight works.

These new Wizards for the Empire Of Man in Warhammer The Old World are just amazing!

Definitely keen to get one of each for my Talabheim army.

I’m really looking forward to the Empire faction release, there are so many miniatures returning that I wanted to collect back when I started the hobby around the end of WFB 5th Edition but never got round to buying.

The War Wagon is top of that pile!
