Starting the new year as I ended the last one: getting one of Nurgles gift. But I finally managed to build some of my Custodes and Grey Knights. Hopefully, I'll be able to paint some of them next week.

Managed to finish 3 more of my Sword Brethren yesterday, I hope I'll be able to finish the remaining two tomorrow, but Nurgle thought I deserve another of his gifts. So I'll see if I am able to paint tomorrow. 😅

Anyways I am quite proud of their look. Especially considering how much I struggled with painting them since around Spring/Summer.

Spending the evening painting various types of Wraithbone on this display base for an #Aeldari Bonesinger for @Scarlet_Dragon1

The dark Wraithbone is RookieBrushes dark sandstone recipe - https://paintpad.app/recipes/1615-sandstone-for-bases

Sandstone for Bases by RookieBrushes

Here is how I paint pale sandstone. I find this recipe gives a nice neutral tone that works well for bases, and doesn't detract from the mini.

I need to take better care of myself next year. I should have at least two evenings a week for myself to enjoy my hobbies.

Steady progress on my Leviathan. Weapons, base, cables, and final details to go. Really enjoying the plastic kit, so much easier to work with. Cheers.

The more I learn about working conditions in academia the more I am convinced that it is not where I wanna spent the rest of my life. I do love doing my PhD but honestly, there's so much that's not okay in how the system works right now...
I woke up earlier today just to think about some questions concerning my PhD. I am still working on a chapter that needs more time and research but I love how I start to build all the connections between the different parts of my argumentation even where I overlooked them in the past.

Looks like I'll be able to finish all the Sword Brethren on my desk until I am leaving for Christmas. Also began to add some colours to my little diorama, which will be my first project for January.
