Rumors of my demise have been slightly exaggerated... got back from my U.S. work trip last week, and this week I've been hacking away at the Ork side of the Armageddon box. One more sprue of Boyz to build and then it'll just be down to putting everything on bases and prepping for painting. #40k

Suitcases shipped ahead to airport ✅ Carry-on packed ✅ Backpack packed ✅ Golden Demon entry secured ✅ Checked into flight ✅ Somewhat cleaned up my hobby area ✅ Devices charged ✅ Only hyperventilating a little ✅ #Adepticon here we come!

Catching all the little details I seem to have overlooked on my Golden Demon piece and starting to make peace with "let's at least get those painted and nothing's perfect and I need to remind myself that getting it done and in the case is as good as winning." #adepticon

With about a week to go, my Adepticon 2026 schedule! Some of the non-class events are maybes and I'm especially not sure if I'll have post-class energy to play EDH but I'd like to try. If I'm not in a class I'm probably at Fort Wappel; I'll also have Japanese kitkats to give and stickers to trade!

So uh Adepticon eh? My Golden Demon project is coming together… I def. won’t trophy and I likely won’t pin, but my goal is to see this concept through and get it in the case and I think I’ll manage that.

Played my first game of commander and succeeded in my goal of being a general nuisance even though I died first (and then after that we realized that the winner would be decided on the next turn anyway). May have to eventually build my own deck though for now I’ll stick with precon. #mtg

First Warhammer Experience Tokyo had lines out the door from opening - massive effort to introduce the hobby to newbies with a video station, paint demo and game demo. Combat Patrol/Spearhead open play signups filled up less than an hour after registration was announced earlier this month.

Applying water decals and mostly not fucking it up - though I was getting some weird reactions with the softener and setter on the Vallejo express paint. Is that a typical interaction? Applied varnish after the first incident and mostly seemed to help. #bloodbowl
