2020 – The Year of Papa Nurgle – Part 6
It’s November.
Wait, It’s November? That can’t be right. Right? It was just January… Or was it July…
Part 6 wraps up this series about my year at the hobby desk.
Warhammer 40,000
In the grim darkness of the future there is only war, and a complete and utter lack of doughnuts. What’s that about? Imagine all the bloodshed that could have been spared had there been a dozen doughnuts at a table where people were meant to sit and talk.
2020 – The Year of Papa Nurgle – Part 5
And now the 3rd season of Covid. Somehow, still hard to believe.
For us, not much has changed at home. My wife was working from home. I was still working an alternate schedule. And the scope of my Titan project was also about to get much larger.
Playing With Toy Soldiers
So let us begin this series with my long-running obsession with Wargames, as well as skirmish games, complicated board games and how they changed my life.
2020 – The Year of Papa Nurgle – Part 4
We are well into June now. The end of June actually. My hobby rut has its grip on my throat. Tyson and I are still doing the Blackstone Fortress thing online occasionally.
At this point Covid-19 has been a part of the world’s vocabulary for half of a year. Insane. What’s even more so is, it’s still not looking like it will be ending anytime soon…
I Finally Finished Kill Team: Octarius
It may have taken three months instead of the three weeks we planned, but my wife and I have finally finished painting the launch box for the new edition of Kill Team and we are ready to play games in the Octarius Sector.
My First Game of Warhammer 40k
If you were to ask me about the tabletop game Warhammer 40k ten years ago, I wouldn’t have been able to tell you much about it. I’m not even sure I knew that tabletop games existed. That changed in college…
2020 – The Year of Papa Nurgle – Part 3
We are now into the end of April. And this year is turning out to be completely screwed up. The whole world is shut down or shutting down. Supply lines are strained. People are dying left and right. Surely this can’t continue, right?
Yeah… about that…
Warhammer Quest: Blackstone Fortress – Project Complete
The Warhammer Quest Blackstone Fortress Box Set is completely painted, a blast to play, and helped me survive temporary unemployment during the height of Covid in 2020.
2020 – The Year of Papa Nurgle – Part 2
2020 has thrown us all a curveball in the form of Covid-19. And it would appear that I was not spared. In hindsight, I am not surprised that I got sick. Before the lockdown, I used to use packed to the doors public transportation regularly, probably didn’t wash my hands as much as I should have, and I’ve never had the best of immune systems.
So here I was, still recovering. Not allowed to go to work.
2020 – The year of Papa Nurgle – Part 1
2020, a now infamous year in world history. For various reasons. It will end up in history books, medical studies, and no doubt eventually in cinema (if it hasn’t already). Also, I am sure grandparents will regale stories to their grandchildren about the year that people literally fought for toilet paper and Lysol. Hoarding them all.
