So I now have both the Moonstone Starter set and the rule book for Burrows and Badgers, so expect a short review on both of them plus one on the hardcover book of Moonstone as well (won't give an exact time as I've learnt that I just can't predict how well I'll be doing). How I will review the two books is something I'm still working out as unlike the AoS Battletomes I've looked at, these have the full game rules in them and I have yet to play either, so I can't really fully explain the rules in a written format. As such, I might just focus on a basic look at it, focusing more in areas that I feel more drawn to.
Still haven't gotten the spark to do Animated Reflections, but do have a few shows I am currently considering looking at next (I may also have to look at how I write the reflections, given the feedback I've gotten).
I am also trying my hand at making some scenery based on a few tutorial videos that I have found online, so I will most likely do a WiP post on it, with the page being updated as I get more work done on it. Mostly just hills, rocks and a pond, but it gives me a chance to test out some ideas I have for future video projects.
Finally, Games-Workshop has finally brought back the store painting competition in the form called Everchosen. As such, it has been suggested to me that I enter into it and I am certainly considering it. I know I have no chance of actually getting past the first round, but the fact that I entered is what matters (that's what they tell me anyway), so I might just do it. As to what I will paint? I still don't know yet, but given it isn't until the latter part of July, I have a little time to consider my options so look out for future posts on that.

The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance Teaser Trailer
This. This is exactly what I was hoping for and it looks like it is going to be amazing. Plus, Chamberlain is back, which is always a bonus.

Site and Health Update
So yeah, no updates since February eh? So here's whats been happening:
My health has not been the best these last few years and more recently I have been heavily focused on sorting out paperwork and appointments for support that it has been a central focus of what little energy I have. Can report that things are almost set up so with any luck I may have a routine that will hopefully mean I am more motivated to focus on stuff like this, though this also means I am now officially disabled due to my mental illness. Not proud of it, but have to accept it in order to move on with my life. I've cut myself off from things like mobile games and as much political and internet based drama as the first is a terrible addiction while the latter is no good for my mental health.
I still haven't given up my ideas for video projects (such as the ship, puppets, vfx etc.), so with any luck the additional support might help me slowly get started on those. I do occasionally come up with new or altering ideas, so let's just hope things go well down that path.
Miniature wise, projects are still going. I apologise for not getting any photos up (let alone not updating my DeviantArt account), but have manage to achieve the following (which people tell me I should be proud of):
+ 10 Dire Wolves: Made from 9 Fenrisian Wolves and 1 Doom Wolf converted from Thunderwolf cavalry mount. Makes my Death faction feel more like it is in the Realm of Beasts.
+ Re-based 10 Freeguild Archers, 1 Witch Hunter, 1 Unforged and 1 Jade Wizard for my Order faction.
+ Working on a Death Guard Kill-Team. Have 4 Zombies and 1 Marine with Bubotic Axe done. Currently WiP is two more Zombies, a Marine Champion with Power Fist and Plasma Pistol, 1 Marine with Flail of Corruption, 1 Marine with Plasma Gun, 1 Marine with Blight Launcher, 1 Marine with Plague Spewer and 2 Marines with Boltguns. All are nearly finished, just need some slight work but once done will give me some options for getting into Kill-Team games (as soon as I can get some support to actually interact with people for games).
Slow but steady they say. I have lots more to do, but life just isn't right at the moment to deal with that. I do have some Moonstone coming, so I will talk more about that over the next few weeks. As such. I will try to make an effort (and by that I mean really force myself) to get back into writing on this thing again. I know I'm well overdue for another Animated Reflections post and I want to start my video projects soon so I can document actual progress here.
Sadly, things like depression and aggravation really get in the way, plus this being a Desktop PC I work from and not a Laptop means getting up and setting everything up takes more from me then you'd think. I do apologise for the lack of updates, but I hope I can really get back into do a few positive posts in the near future.
Until then.....
