Two more Gotham City Chronicles minis. Bane and his venom-injected version.

I had to pop into work today to see the delivered results of my crowd-funding decisions a year ago 😅. I am quite excited to table this cooperative stealth game (Earth Under Siege: Flashpoint)

Flesh is hard. These two versions of Bane are getting there. Thinking a wash to blend things, then reapply highlights, and work on the rest.

Looked at the new The One Ring books and realised I can just wait for retail. No split pay for the basic tier and hefty postage to Aus.

Sure glad the Dune: War for Arrakis playmat I got isn’t any larger.

Love my upstairs “lunch room”. I refer to the office as the Albany Board Games Depot.

Got a full Sunday of gaming coming soon & it can be a process to work out what 4 people (including an 8 year old) will enjoy.

The satisfaction of a good board game insert (Folded Space in this case).

Took my lunch break to set up Revenant for a solo learn. Looks daunting, but very keen to get into it.

My unofficial neoprene mat for Eldritch Horror arrived today from Rollinmats in Spain. Glad I went for the “tiny” version. Didn’t have a long enough table free, but had to unfurl and admire it anyway. ( @elprezau.bsky.social - may your resolve hold!)

More painting progress. Penguin’s Gang from Gotham City Chronicles.

Seems some decent vidjagames lately. I’m saving my thumbs for GTA (and even then I’m not confident that they will handle more than 20 mins at a time) but glad to see the next 4 years of my bday/Xmas list will have some games on it.

August plays. Some favourites, some new and some to test if I still want them in my collection. SETI is probably the only one that I’m still cold on as a solo experience.

Making the most of still being unwell. Let’s try to defeat Magneto. (Game: Legendary Marvel 2nd Edition)

Didn’t let the fact that this second edition is not being distributed in Australia stop my entry to Legendary Marvel.

Nyarlathotep and moon-beasts from Cthulhu: Death May Die painted.

Once more, encountered my nemesis: the colour yellow. Difficult to photograph, but Robin for Gotham City Chronicles is pretty much done (or at least as done as I can be bothered with).

I’m playing Death Stranding 2 and when you get to Australia you start out close to where I live & I keep laughing at how Sam is travelling the real equivalent of about 700km each time he goes a few hundred metres.

Realised that we never digitised our wedding DVD, so dusted off the external drive. Gosh it’s a bit of a thing seeing yourself and family 15 years younger (as well as some no longer with us).

iPhone camera makes this look pretty rough, but anything is better than grey. Batman from Gotham City Chronicles almost ready to THWACK!

First game with Daredevil for Marvel Champions. It ended with a win, but was iffy for most of it.
August 2, 2026 at 12:52 AM
Still playing Dune: War for Arrakis both sides.

Harkonnen probably going to win, but I’m not making it easy on myself - Atreides called on The Maker and broke a section of the mountain with atomics and now there’s a dick worm to worry about.

Another mini painted. Clayface from the board game Gotham City Chronicles.
July 22, 2026 at 3:32 AM
Dune: War for Arrakis set up for learning. Nod to the person who decided the phallic sand worms should be cast in flesh colour.

Saw this drawer set in Office Works and thought it might work for storing DC United when (if) it comes. Tested it with all my Marvel United. Villain cards are all in the box on top. Hero cards in the bottom drawer along with large models, villain dashboards and locations.

Taught my 8 year old son the board game Star Wars: Outer Rim, and of course he beat me easily.
