Been a busy week for hobbying this week! Managed to smash out all the data for the Crucible rules for NewRecruit, and still managed to put together two magnetised Warhound titans, some Tau flyers, and some more Tyranids. 😁

Although work has been crazy busy this week, I still managed to squeeze in some hobbying and built up some more Tyranids and even a Ratling and some Tau planes for Aeronautica Imperialis. Getting through the backlog slowly! 😄

Managed to tear myself away from Elden Ring long enough to build some Tyranids and planes! 😁 You can really see how good the improvements in design between the new and old Termagants are when they're next to each other too.

In between Elden Ring gaming sessions, I've managed to build a few more models - mainly terrain, but also a Dark Angels Darkshroud too. One day, I will actually have an "oops, all Land Speeders!" army list for the tabletop! 😄

Finally got around to watching the Chainsaw Man movie and thought it was really good. The animation is absolutely top notch and the interactions between the characters were great - Beam was the film's MVP in my opinion. Looking forward to next season even more now when it comes out! 😄

Another bit of progress on the backlog! The main highlights being a Vindictator tank and some older Sternguard Veterans, who I used as my first test kit for some subtle 3D printed parts (see if you can spot them!), thanks to Archie's Forge - I've been very impressed with the results. 😁

Some photos I managed to take of an evening at Bingo Lingo in Cardiff, before heading to Clwb Ifor Bach to dance into the early hours. Bonus picture of me on Sunday morning operating on 4 hours of sleep while waiting for the train home.

This week's hobbying was mostly spent building planes, but I also finished off some old Genestealers and a metal Techmarine that has no legal loadout in 10th edition 40k, even with Legends options - which is a shame, as I love the servo harness! Now to figure out what to build next! 😄

Dan Jenkins @dunamis55.bsky.social · 01/11/2025

Another week, another bunch of models built! A bunch of Astra Militarum planes for Aeronautica Imperialis. Absolutely love these epic scale minis. 😁

Dan Jenkins @dunamis55.bsky.social · 17/08/2025

Managed to really hammer the hobby backlog this week! A good bunch of Death Guard built and even a sneaky Krieg Guardsman too. Am looking forward to eventually painting these, once I've cleared out more boxes. 😁

Dan Jenkins @dunamis55.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

Has been a busy one this week, but managed to get some more Death Guard and Chaos Spawn built for 40k this week. I was pleasantly surprised at how much customisation and flavour for each god that the Chaos Spawn could do too!

Dan Jenkins @dunamis55.bsky.social · 26/07/2025

A bit more hobbying done this past fortnight, in between being full up with a cold. Few more Death Guard models, along with some power generators, built for Warhammer 40k. Gotta keep the backlog crushing momentum going! 😄

Dan Jenkins @dunamis55.bsky.social · 13/07/2025

Went to see Stereophonics live in Cardiff, as my first time ever seeing a big concert like this. Was absolutely incredible, especially with the whole crowd singing along! Supporting acts were Finn Forster and Blossoms, who were good, but the 'Phonics really knocked it out the park! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🤘

020

Dan Jenkins @dunamis55.bsky.social · 06/07/2025

Managed to get loads of hobbying done this week. Some easy build Death Guard marines and Poxwalkers, along with a ton of terrain, all for Warhammer 40k, and which came from the Conquest magazine collection. Really starting to make a dent in the backlog at this rate. 😊

Dan Jenkins @dunamis55.bsky.social · 02/07/2025

Managed to get some hobbying done this week and built the 10th Anniversary survivors for Kingdom Death Monster and also some scatter terrain (not pictured) for Warhammer 40k. The fight against the backlog continues! 😄

Dan Jenkins @dunamis55.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

Gave axe throwing a go in Cardiff. First time ever doing it and it was great fun! Think I've found a new potential hobby to add to the ever growing list, as got lots of bull's-eyes over the course of the session. Even did a Robin Hood impression and nearly cut my axe in half with the other one. 😁

Dan Jenkins @dunamis55.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

Nice hike up the mountain above Cwmbran this week while the weather was nice. Went up through Blaen Bran woods, past the reservoir, and along the top of the mountain over to the old Iron Age mound of Twmbarlwm before heading home. 😎

I forgot how uni assignments let you experience the full gamut of human emotions in a mind bending rollercoaster that leaves you completely exhausted. 😵‍💫 At least I'm now done with the hardest one for the summer. Did not miss this experience though!

Dan Jenkins @dunamis55.bsky.social · 13/05/2025

A night of burgers and board games at Chance & Counters in Cardiff with my fellow data geeks from work. We played Carcassonne followed by 7 Wonders, and I only just barely avoided the wooden spoon by coming 5th and then 4th in the scoring. Looking forward to next time to try for a comeback! 😁

After turning my house into a construction site for a fortnight, followed by a sudden tooth infection that spread to my neck and tried to kill me, I have finally finished building everything in the Into The Dark Kill Team box set (terrain not pictured). 😁

Dan Jenkins @dunamis55.bsky.social · 18/04/2025

Time to finally give Kingdom Death Monster a spin and to put the gaming table to its full use. Have been looking forward to this for a long time. 🤩

Dan Jenkins @dunamis55.bsky.social · 11/04/2025

The final model of the Kingdom Death Monster core box, the Phoenix, all built. He's a big boy! I do still need to build the armour sets models, but want a few games under my belt first before I do them.

Dan Jenkins @dunamis55.bsky.social · 06/04/2025

Continuing to work my way through the core box of Kingdom Death Monster. Two more survivors, the Gold Smoke Knight, and The Watcher now built. 😄

Dan Jenkins @dunamis55.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

Had my box set of SCP horror comics turn up in the post today from Kickstarter. Looking forward to reading these! 🎭

Came across this little guy this morning in Bute Park on the way to uni. I like how the camera zoom makes it look a bit like an oil painting. 😊

Dan Jenkins @dunamis55.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

Fun little Easter egg in Kingdom Death Monster, and a reminder that I really need to sit down and watch Adventure Time at some point. 😅

Dan Jenkins @dunamis55.bsky.social · 28/03/2025

Bit of a throwback today, as I realised I never posted this guy after I finished them before. Tau Coldstar Commander with fusion blades from Warhammer 40k. Was my first proper attempt at blending and was a lot harder than I thought it'd be, but still happy with how it all turned out. 🤩

Dan Jenkins @dunamis55.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

This week's hobby time was been taken up by going through old White Dwarf magazines and cutting out the articles worth keeping, years later. I now have a dedicated ring binder slowly filling up with painting guides and paint schemes. 😁

Dan Jenkins @dunamis55.bsky.social · 20/03/2025

Another week; another bunch of minis built. Two more from Kingdom Death Monster and a Tau Piranha from Warhammer 40k. Going to keep building models so I can use them in games before switching over to painting again. ☺️

Dan Jenkins @dunamis55.bsky.social · 17/03/2025

Continuing to work on Crusade implementation in Warhammer 40k for NewRecruit/BSData. Managed to get D6 profiles to stop changing into D7s and add a +1 to them, without breaking the other stats, when applying weapon upgrades, which is quite funky.

Dan Jenkins @dunamis55.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

Trying to be more disciplined with working through my Mountain of Minis, so built a few models from Kingdom Death Monster's core box. 😄
