Bunch of BIG announcements last night about Warhammer 40k's 10th Edition coming this summer, and I'm actually excited about maybe playing the game again instead of just collecting/painting the minis. The rules are going to be free for all armies, they'll be simplified down to one page of rules for each army and one datacard per unit, your force you use in a game will just be "a warlord and any other units you want, up to a max of 3 of each type (up to 6 for 'battleline', probably troops)". One of the reasons I stopped playing the actual game was I got really frustrated at trying to remember all of the rules for my OWN army, let alone any opponents, and this sounds like it'll be SO much easier and more fun! The free rules especially is huge. No more buying $200, $300, $400 worth of miniatures and then also having to buy an $80 rulebook for the game and a $50-60 codex for your army just to be able to play. My strategy of not buying ANY codexes during the entirety of 9th Edition for the last 2-3 years (except the one that came with an army box set) paid off! A Mindblowing New Edition of Warhammer 40,000 is Coming

"Those sticky complexities have now been smoothed out, and without losing any of the game’s depth. These much-needed simplifications are substantial enough that, from a rules perspective at least, every ninth edition codex has been rendered obsolete. That’s not to say they’re useless – they’re still bursting with the lore, history, and short stories that define each faction, and until new codexes emerge over the course of the new edition, these books will still be the main repository of the knowledge you need." www.warhammer-community.com/2023/03/28/warhammer-40000-what-does-the-new-game-mean-for-your-codexes/Never fucking mind.

Out of boredom I attended a mini painting workshop a few months back and have now done that a few times as well as some terrain. Given I don't currently play any tabletop game it's kind of silly but I've enjoyed a bit of a creative outlet during winter.

Nothing wrong with that, frequently the painting is more fun anyway.

And now my friend who works at (and apparently now manages) the local game store has offered me painting commission jobs in exchange for store credit!!! First up, since the new Codex (rulebook) for the Deathwatch Space Marines chapter just came out, I'm building and painting up a 5-man Veteran Kill Team: [IMAGE REMOVED] I'm excited about this because 1) I am planning to build my own Deathwatch army because I really like the concept - the "best of the best" recruited from the other Space Marine chapters specifically to fight the "Xenos threat", aka any malevolent alien races such as Tyranids, Genestealer Cultists, Orks, Eldar, etc, so this is great practice for my own future army...and 2) if this goes well I can pretty much pick anything that is relatively popular in the store to paint next, including the giant $125-160 box sets, and get that same amount in store credit! HA, five years ago yesterday I got the commission to paint my first Deathwatch space marines. I ended up collecting a bunch of them, barely painted any, and sold off the entire army last year. So of course NOW because I'm excited about the 10th Edition of Warhammer 40k, I've started building a NEW Deathwatch army along with the World Eaters I've recently started collecting and the Genestealer Cults which I love too much to ever sell (probably). First up, an Outrider - one of the newer, larger space marine bikes - with custom 3D printed Deathwatch-style armor panels!

Finally, after WAY too long, I finished the TMNT commission I took on five years ago. Shipping them out today tomorrow. Stupid Columbus Day! Rename it or get rid of it as a holiday.
