Pootle here with the write-up of my final game at this year's Weekend at Burnies against Vertica40k (who I played a 2k game against not so very long ago). At one level it was a shame not to play against one of the other amazing armies on display who I'd not faced before, but after four games my brain was a little frazzled so it was good to play against a familiar army led by a general with exactly the right attitude of wanting a relaxed game to end the weekend on.

Weekend at Burnie’s 5 - Day 1: Orks vs Dark Angels
Pootle again, writing up the third game of day 1 at this year's Weekend at Burnies, which was against Simon's Dark Angels. My brain was somewhat frazzled by this point, but at least I'd already got some practice in against a Land Raider Redeemer stuffed full of Aggressors earlier in the day

Weekend at Burnie’s 5 - Day 1: Orks vs Leagues of Votann
Pootle here, reporting in on my second game at this year's Weekend at Burnie against Primaris_Dave's gorgeously painted Leagues of Votann (so gorgeous that he won the "best painted army" prize for them). I've never faced Votann before but am aware of how dangerous their judgement can be.

Woodland Pals
There's not masses left of the DnL stockpile here. Enough to keep me going at my present rate, though - I've slowed right down lately (new job).

Loose Morels
Hard post to write, this. I've painted some fantasy mushrooms, and I want to steer clear of all the obvious puns.

A Caravangio Painting
All this Old World (well, the one game I've played of it so far) has got me in the mood for some fantasy models. To the Dungeons and Lasers box!

The Diet of Bugs: Hive Fleet Utoy
Pootle here, documenting a new Hive Fleet that has appeared in space near Bagot Prime (as if they didn't have trouble enough there what with the Marines facing Orks, various flavours of Nurgle devotees, Chaos Marines and Necrons).

Necroyummicon: Nids vs Necrons
First game of 2024 for me (Pootle), and Kraken (in bold) has agreed to let me test drive the Nid list I'll be taking to King in the North in a couple of weeks.
Punching bag to the stars, that's me!
I'm less of a star, more of a brown dwarf.
