Had a bit of fun today with the excellent Bolt Action Version 2 from Warlord Games. Bolt Action is an engaging and fast paced game, with easy to pick up rules and a depth of tacticss that will keep you coming back for more! Watch this space for more Desert War action!

Got some work done today. Started this morning just from primed plastic, calling it a night about 11 hours later at a point im almost ready to call them tabletop ready. Some work still left to do, mostly on the vehicles. Hope you enjoy!

Hello my friends!

So I had hoped for this to be a video update, but the base Wifi is not letting me upload at this time.

So here is what has been going on.

Since our last video was published, I have had some mental health issues that necessitated medication on my end. I have been burning the candle at both ends as the saying goes, trying to keep on top of my full time IRL job, being a good and present father, while also still trying to make regular content. As you can imagine, that has taken a toll on my health both physical and mentally, so I needed a small break.

Shortly after this point, we were blessed to find out Bree was pregnant again and were eagerly awaiting the arrival of our second child to bless us. Unfortunately this was not mean to be (Yet) and Bree had a miscarriage that left us understandably devastated.

And at the same time as that, I was sent to 4 CDTC Meaford about 4 hours North West of home to do a 6 month temporary duty here.

As you can imagine, this has not left us much time for ourselves, much less to devote to the channel.

Now the positives.

This temp duty will be done in September, or become a permanent posting as I honestly love it here, the coworkers and CoC are super supportive and helpful, and has proven to be a much healthier work environment then my current unit. If it becomes permanent then we are moving up here and will have regular access to our filming studio again.

Second, my mental health has mostly stabilized and I am getting to a much healthier point, so awesome on that end to!

Thirdly, iv been having regular game nights with the amazing Miniature Landscape Hobbies and am working on some colabs with the team there for some more content soon! Alongside that we do have some videos waiting to be edited once I have the energy or find an editor. As well Bree is hoping to resume some painting video/crafting corner ideas soon!

So all and all, a mixed bag, and as always I am sorry for letting you all down. We truly and hugely appreciate your patience and support! Being a service member is not always conducive to running a youtube channel, much less to family life, but we are trying to make it work as best as we can for you all as we love bringing you our content and chatting with you.

So again, thank you for your patience, and as always, keep your sticks on the ice mes ami!

Cheers!
Jacob

I shall leave you with some photos from some of the stuff we have done lately, and Old World tournament (il have a vid about that I hope as an AAR) and some of the games iv played with Joe from Miniature Landscape Hobbies

Tonight finished off a load of Peasant longbowmen for my Brettonian force. These have been sitting on my desk for the better part of two years so im really happy to finish them off.

The defence lines are scratchbuilt with bamboo skewers, some spears from the mantic skeleton sprue, and arrows from (i think) a perry men at arms kit.

Basing is vallejo texture paste, painted over with vallejos goblin green, and drybrushed with citadel yreil yellow.

And a longer look from our update video of some of the work we have gotten done on our Legions Imperialis stuff. Not overly pleased with how the sons of horus are turning out, much darker then id hoped. But im sure it will all shake out, and at least they no longer look like alpha legion to my eyes.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Hey friends, will be coming at you with a channel update video sometime this weekend ( I Hope) Just want to apologize here for how quite things have been on my end. Very busy summer with training and then right into the fire with full time work at the unit. Physically and Mentally Very drained and have not been able to meet commitments or accomplish any of the content goals I had set up for you all.

Honestly struggling a little bit with keeping the channel going, if I am being fully honest, as between work, the baby, and everything I just dont have any time for me and I feel like im past burnt out. So again, sorry, and I will have that update to you soon.

I do also have a batrep ready to upload for the end of the month so il try and get back into the groove of a day's early access to it for my patreons.

Thank you so much and I hope you all take care, Talk soon!
