The next step in Worlds Without Number‘s region-creation process is… Identify regionally-significant gods. Make a sketch map of the region. As with the Unlucky Isles, I started with a map. This time, though, I fleshed it out down to the town/road level of detail as I went, rolling with my ideas and mapping in more

I’m currently working on my third region of Godsbarrow, Kurthunar, so this post and those that follow are me catching up on moving my Gilded Lands material from my PC to Yore. Name the region. The Gilded Lands, so named because most of its nations are wealthy, and most of that wealth comes in the

I woke up this morning, walked past my work area for miniatures, and realized I’d forgotten to put in time on minis yesterday. My hobby streak is broken! I made it to 539 days — from February 20, 2020, to August 12, 2021. Yesterday morning I had a plan for what I was going to

With two regions done, my Godsbarrow material needs some organization — so I created the Godsbarrow handbook, a page of links and notes that attempts to organize all of it in a meaningful way. Still very much a WIP, but as ever I’m wary of making the page — and this worldbuilding venture — too

Today I wrapped up my second region of Godsbarrow, the fantasy campaign setting I started working on earlier this year: the Gilded Lands, situated just to the east of my first region, the Unlucky Isles. The Gilded Lands are anchored by Kadavis, the largest and wealthiest of the six nations that comprise this region. With

I started building this squad of Allarus Custodians — the first three of 10 Terminators in my draft army list — last night, and finished it up this afternoon: Kanumba, Cathalan, and Adomako. As with my first squad, I stole the Shield-Captain’s build for one of them — Adomako — because I love the stance

I finished my first Adeptus Custodes squad tonight, adding Halfden and Konstantyn to my first custard lad, Inkaef, to form a full unit of Custodian Guards with Sentinel Blades and Storm Shields. In 9th Edition, this unit is 234 points. Three troops in my Deathskulls Ork army would be . . . 24 points. Playing

There are relatively few Adeptus Custodes units, and from what I’ve seen they all use pretty much the same colors (adapted per one’s shield company) — kind of like Deathskulls Orks. So I have a feeling one main color guide will cover most of my army. Bases As ever, I’m using a recipe from White

I’ve been maintaining my hobby streak for miniature-painting (today is day 495), but over the past few months my pace has slowed considerably. I’m okay with that, and I stand by my philosophy on this: Any forward progress beats the zero progress I made for many, many years. Even if all I do is paint

I started Killa Kans two and three — Stikkit and Skraggit — back in April, and finished them up on Thursday night. They join Mukkit, my final mini of 2020, to form Mukkit’s Murda Mob, which bring my Deathskulls army up to 591 points. The Killa Kans kit is incredible — just absolutely packed with
