If I go into detail, it will be over at The Science of Selling Yourself Short
In terms of the hobby I've been all over the place.
First off I've been running a gaming club for the last 6-ish months. It has taken a lot of my focus, and to make up for it, I'll p[probably post the content I've made for it on here (once it's concluded)
Second, I've invested a lot of time on a commission paint job I took on quite some time ago.
Despite being told I have no reason to rush, or feel pressured, I couldn't help but put pressure on myself.
This has meant that, not only have I not finished the commission itself, but also, I've felt guilty working on anything of my own... to the point I've been super inspired and excited to do a thing, but haven't allowed myself to do it.
Third, I've taken a big break from 40k.
I have mentioned this previously, but I'm not totally sold on the new 40k.
It's been several months, I've played a good few games and read a good amount of the material, and I just don't much care for it.
It lacks flavour, it lacks theme based mechanics (which is the draw of a game like 40k) and it lacks finesse.
I think I'm going to stick to AOS for gaming for the foreseeable future (unless a few of us want play some previous editions/ 30K)
That being said, I obviously still love the theme, the flavour and the miniatures.
So on that note, I have a thing to show you.
Recently, a member of the club I help run has just finished running a painting competition on his Instagram.
The challenge was to paint a Space Marine in his homebrew chapters colour scheme.
As I need a bit of a kick up the ass to make any progress.
Here you go:
I think the whole thing took me about 8 hours, and reminded me of how much I hate painting white.
Anyway, hopefully I'll start getting back into some 40k stuff, and my hobby in general.
Until then
