WARNING NSFW images It has been a while since I did an anime figure unboxing and, if I am honest, this is likely to the last one for a long time. Whilst bigbadtoystore were excellent as usual the poor exchange rate, high shipping costs and the customs duty meant that this model had nearly 50%Continue reading “Revy unboxing; definitely needed two hands for this one”

The end of the Imperium
So after 80 editions the Imperium magazine has come to an end. Thought I was clickbaiting for a moment there didn’t you? After 80 magazines worth of paint, sprues and brushes the question is whether or not it was any good. It’s undeniable that the subscription, even at the premium tier which I had, isContinue reading “The end of the Imperium”
GW pre-orders. Here we go again, and again and again
I had not planned to do a GW article this weekend to be honest. I had intended to do an unboxing blog for my new anime figure and none of the pre-orders/new releases this weekend interested me. I like the new Farsight model but not enough to want a box of Tau (I still haveContinue reading “GW pre-orders. Here we go again, and again and again”
Begun the culture wars have (round 300 million-ish)
So recently I have not been online much due to a mix of ill health and real life events. It’s no bad thing to take a break of course but predictably as soon as I went back online I saw that Magic the Gathering was trending. Never a good sign. So, ignoring all wisdom andContinue reading “Begun the culture wars have (round 300 million-ish)”
Adepticon, no shocks but a few surprises
Well that was pretty much as expected. Adepticon dropped the Lion and the new 10th edition as most people expected so it is save to say there were no shocks in this one; though there were a few surprises. I have just finished watching a re-run (seriously annoys me that GW focused the reveal inContinue reading “Adepticon, no shocks but a few surprises”
Do all roads lead to ten?
You have to hand it to GW; they know how to both build a hype train and also shoot themselves in the foot at the same time. We’re a few days out from adepticon 2023 and they simultaneously drop this and then they manage to send a model out which had not even been revealedContinue reading “Do all roads lead to ten?”
Red Tides by Marc Turner – a disappointing end to a series with potential
Red tides brings the Chronicles of the Exile series to an end in a way which is disenchanting and, despite being a decent book, feels very much like the author had lost interest by the end. As before I have not paid for this book and have instead checked it out from the local library. Continue reading “Red Tides by Marc Turner – a disappointing end to a series with potential”
Dragon Hunters by Marc Turner
Dragon Hunters is proof that you can have a sword and sorcery novel containing dragons, scheming and politicking and still make it entertaining without needing to resort to Game of Thrones levels of sex and graphic violence. It was a damned good book and my only real criticism was that some of the character arcsContinue reading “Dragon Hunters by Marc Turner”
Ghost Warriors by Gav Thorpe
Ghost Warriors is a novel which is as ephemeral as its title and whilst having a lot of potential; it fails to solidify in enough places to really grab the reader or to live up to its promise. Despite all its flaws though it is worth reading as one of the small number of AeldariContinue reading “Ghost Warriors by Gav Thorpe”
Erza, queen of the fairies unboxing
Long-time followers of this blog will know that I am a big fan of the anime Fairy Tail and that my favourite character in the show is the Queen of the Fairies; Erza Scarlett. I like the character arc that she has and whilst the fan service in her design is not always to myContinue reading “Erza, queen of the fairies unboxing”
