Hello everyone and happy Monday! I hope your prior week went well and are excited to dive into my last week of Hobbyt, Fitness, and a bit of Street Fighter. To kick things off for the post is a Warhammer Ancients game I had last week with my friend Mark. Romans versus Romans in a brutal battle! It's always fun getting some Ancient gaming out to mix things up!
Happy Monday and happy new week everyone! Last week saw a continued explosion in hobby on my plate, but I have been up for the task so far. First and foremost is a large terrain project that a few friends and I are tackling for the upcoming Warhammer US Open 40 Grand Narrative. The picture is a little over half of the total terrain as my hobby table could not handle any more. Keep an eye out for a lot of progress on this in the coming weeks as we work towards our November Deadline.
Hey Everyone! I hope Monday has gone well with you and you can excuse the late-in-the-day posting of my weekly hobby update! It was a great week and a busy start this week, but I wanted to get this post out on time so please enjoy. Having recently gotten the new Cities of Sigmar box you would think Aos would be all my hobby, but while it was top of mind it was Fantasy that took center stage. Check it out after the break.
Hello, and Happy Labor Day to all my US readers! It was a great week once again full of hobby, Street Fighter, games, and Reveals! I was happy to have had a chance to catch the reveal live while getting in some games and as for the reveals they were all great and I am tempted greatly by the new Old Wolrd model to start Bretonians! Jump after the break to see the entire week of fun!
Hello and happy Monday everyone! I hope this week is full of Warhammer and health for you, but it's that time to reflect on the prior week of Wargaming fun. To kick it all off I began moving some Dipossesd models from my Cities of Sigmar army back to my fantasy Dwarf army as with the updated rule set I do not see them performing very well and with Anvilgard now well and entirely gone as a subfaction I decided it was time to look ahead to building a new Cities of Sigmar army by proceeding the new box set. My Anvilgard army also had a few humans in it as well and these are heading into Mordheim in the near future.
Fresh off the heels of my lore for Gitcon 2023 is my Nashcon 2023 lore for Tayrathi and her Kharadron saviors, Fleet Maxa'Va. This bit plays more into the recent Strength Hammer Podcast episode (#66) so be sure to check it out and enjoy this bit of lore all about Tayrathi below!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
“As per the agreement of payment for services rendered; in the evacuation of The Tayrathian Temple and for future services to be rendered in the form of delivering all members of The Tayrathian Cult (except for a small contingent of willing volunteers to join the Crew of Fleet Maxa’Va) to a new location for the founding of a new Temple location; The Tayrathian Cult shall represent Fleet Maxa’Va in the Trade Alliance Agreement of Fleet Maxa’Va, Grugni’s Reclaimers, and Grumdren Forgeheart’s Flying Circus. Fleet Maxa’Va shall transport The Tayrathian Cult to and from the Tournament.
The Tayrathian Cult assumes all risks and injury for participation in the Trade Alliance Sgreement and may retain all awards and accolades won, but spoils and loot of the Trade Alliance Sgreement as well as all glory won shall be retained by Fleet Maxa’Va. In order to facilitate this agreement a representative of Fleet Maxa’Va shall accompany and assist The Tayrathian Cult.
Refusing to render payment shall see The Tayrathian Cult permanently entered into the Dammaz Kron of Fleet Maxa’Va and immediate expulsion of all members from the fleet despite location or elevation”
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exert on the payment section from the one and hundred and thirty-page contract between Fleet Maxa’Va and The Tayrathian Cult for services rendered. This and all parts of the contract are confidential until the start of the Trade Alliance Agreement of Fleet Maxa’Va, Grugni’s Reclaimers, and Grumdren Forgeheart’s Flying Circus. Fleet Maxa’Va. All found breaking this confidentiality shall be added to the Damnaz Kron of Fleet Maxa’Va and receive eternal enmity from The Tayrathian Cult.
Hey Everyone and Happy Monday. I hope you are ready to get after this week as it promises, for me, to start slow and end in a flurry of Warhammer with Nashcon this coming weekend! While I am excited about reaching the end of this week let us first look back on last week's hobby! The first bit is a watch-through of Chaos Rising, a fan film between the forces of Bretonia and Khone, and is well worth a watch if you have not done so already.
Hello and Happy Monday as usual my friends! It has been an excellent week for Hobby and Fitness with new models, painted models, and an event played with weightlifting along the way! This weekend also saw the EVO Tournaments and the CrossFit Games happening which meant when I wasn't Warhammering I was glued to the streams for all the great Fitness and FGC action!
Hello everyone! Today I have a new piece of Army Lore for you to enjoy! The story picks up with the Tayrathian Cult shortly after having been rescued by my Kharadron Overlord Fleet, Fleet Maxa'Va, during the siege of their Temple near Har Kuron with the Tayrathian cult now in transit to a new unknown home, but a battle is on its way even in the skies. It will be the Kharadron who has to pull the heavy lifting and ensure Tayrathi and her flock make it to their new home and fulfill their end of the contract. This narrative is for this weekend's Nashcon Prep Event my friend Aleks is hosting called Gitcon 2023. I am looking forward to tieing my army narratives together more and more with content such as this so please enjoy and look forward to my upcoming Kharadron Overlords, and likely a hint of Daughters of Khaine, lore for Nashcon itself as this ongoing story unfolds.
Hello and happy Monday all! Last week was the hottest week of the summer where I live in the US, but it didn't slow down my hobby and I had enough moments of good enough weather to prime a few projects to paint up. I did use some of my time indoors beating the heat to play with the new Warhammer Filters on Instagram that you see below. Jump to after the break to see the rest of my week!
Happy Monday friends! It has been a while since my last weekly hobby update post, but that's due to my trip to Tacoma for the US Open event with the team! Tacoma was, once again full of wonderful scenery, and pleasant weather. Jump to after the break to see more about Tacoma and my hobby from the past few weeks.
Happy Monday all! What a great week it was last week full of Warhammer, Fotness, and a new Taylor Swift album! Let's not waste a moment and dive deep into it starting with a huge narrative siege!
Happy Monday all and for those in the US Happy Independence Day (tomorrow)! Another week has come and gone so let's jump into my week of Warhammer hobby and fitness. Check it out after the break.
Happy Monday everyone! It has been another great week full of Warhammer, Street Fighter, Fitness, and plenty of Taylor Swift music. Honestly, I am still not over the Eras tour concert I attended, it was such an amazing experience! However, the Warhammer has taken off this past week so jump to after the break to see more!
Hey all! As promised her is a bit of lore around Tayrathi as she exists in her true form within the Warhammer 40,000 setting as a follow of the Ynnari. I do plan to expand on this lore in the future, but between this and my Drukhari Tayrathi lore, I hope you enjoy the story I am working to create within the setting for my believed Tayrathi!
Hello all! I am very much in the mood to write up Tayrathi lore as of late and I had a version of Tayrathi I never wrote andy background for with my Drukhari Army. As such I wanted to write up a short piece of lore for this version of Tayrathi as we move into 10th edition 40k. If you think this is all then stay tuned for some Ynnari lore around Tayrathi coming out soon...
Hello everyone! Today I have some more Tayrathi Lore for you all! In the recent White Dwarf #488 there is a narrative flashpoint campaign between the Daughters of Khaine and Ogor Mawtribes! This supplement sees the Ogors on a warpath to Har Kuron and puts the location of The Tayrathian Cult, The Brutos Hills, right in the center of the conflict. As such I planned a game night with my local Ogor player Brad to see how it plays out. Check out the lore in setup for the campaign below and you can expect a follow-up narrative with the aftermath here soon!
Happy Monday everyone and Happy Juneteenth and Father's Day to the fathers from yesterday! I apologize in advance as these posts are fewer hobby updates as of late and more just weekly life updates, but that's where I am at currently so if you are staying for these posts thank you for joining my journey, even if the hobby part of it is the tiniest bit as of late. From the best Concert of my life to, fitness and Street Fighter as well as a bit of hobby check after the break.

Hello Everyone! Today I bring you some lore from my latest Warhammer Age of Sigmar Army, the Fyreslayers. Lodge Grunds-Ia takes its name from the pop star Sia, using her black and white hair scheme in some of the mohawks for my leaders, but I wanted to take a different approach to the lore for this army. I prompted ChatGPT to write my origin lore for this army using a bit of information to get it going. After a bit of clean up, I was pleased with the result of this experiment. Check it out after the break!
Hello and Happy Monday friends! Thankfully, I got home from my four-day Warhammer gaming marathon to write today's blog post on time! While Adepticon was going strong over in Illinois I was lucky to attend a smaller, but just as exciting event in Adeptiwont (as in won't be going to Adepticon this year) over in Ohio with some great friends! Plenty of games, hobby, and purchases are below after the break!
Happy Monday everyone! This is an exciting week as I bring you not one, but two brand-new completed army projects just added to my collection!

The second is my recent hobby project of Fyreslayers I mainly got through gifts this past holiday season! With two new armies in my collection let's dive right into a plethora of pictures!
Also Happy Spring for those in the Northern Hemisphere like myself!
Hey Everyone! Happy Tuesday as this post is a day late. Yesterday was my birthday and with all the fun planned I decided to take an extra day with getting this weekly post together. To kick things off strong for last week's hobby I picked up a classic item with the Tomb Kings Magic Cards for my, soon to be, 8th edition Tomb Kings Army. They arrived from Noble Knight games in perfect condition and at a fair price and I couldn't be more excited for this army to be completed. Now on to the rest of my prior week of hobby.
Hello Everyone and Happy Monday! I hope you had a great week of hobby and fitness or doing whatever you chose to fill your time with for the past seven days. Terrain building has continued at a breakneck pace and the end is finally in sight. I have also healed up enough to head back into the gym this past week which has been wonderful for my mental health. Let's dive into my prior week and be sure to check out what eight boxes of Boarding Actions terrain looks like on my local group's table below!
Happy Monday friends! With a new week underway it is time I do my regular weekly hobby update from the prior week and boy is there a lot! Warhammer Fest and US Event Kill Team terrain is taking up the bulk of it, but hopefully with a solid push this week I can be back to working on my own armies here soon!
Hello and Happy Monday everyone! What a week of Warhammer hobby it has been! From the Brewhammer GT to a pick-up 40k game and lots of Duardin on the hobby table! Let's dive right into my past hobby week after the break!
Also Happy Valentines Day this week!
Hey everyone! It is another Monday and as you read this I am getting back into the normality after playing in the Brewhammer Tournament this past weekend. You can expect a full event recap on the podcast later this week, but for now, I hope you enjoy the bit of hobby I got done before the tournament this past week.
Hey All! Today I wanted to bring you a bit of new Tayrathi lore I wrote in preparation for this weekend's Brewhammer Tournament! It is a short piece, but it was nice to flex my narrative a bit once more and I hope to continue adding to Tayrathis tale in the coming months. For now please enjoy this bit of fin narrative about my army for the event and wish me luck in my games as I push to give it my all with a full competitive focus going into this event!
Happy Monday everyone! This past week saw the Las Vegas Open 2023 come and go! First off I want to congratulate all the players, TO's, and attendees for filling my feed with Warhammer goodness! Not to mention those attending the other great events like Holy Wars bringing us tons of narrative pictures throughout the weekend! With a big event like LVO comes a great reveal show and I wanted to briefly touch on the surprise Daughters of Khaine warband announced for Underworlds! I am so excited for them as they are the first true surprise release I have seen in quite a while and I cannot wait to paint them up for my ever-growing Tayrahtian Cult!
Hey All! Today is the release of the first true program I ever had a part in making. My good friend Aleks (@fit_hammer) and myself sat down to write a program to do together and if we liked it we would release it in full to everyone that follows our content. Today sees the release of that program which you can find after the break in full!
Happy Monday everyone! It's going to be a wonderful week for Warhammer, especially if you are an Age of Sigmar fan. This week at the Las Vegas Open we will see reveals as well as Age of Sigmar streaming all weekend long! Be sure to tune in and show your support for the event and the events team putting it on!
Happy Monday everyone! I hope you are having a solid day and enjoyed yet another week with the hobby we all share and love. My week was choc full of grey plastic in the form of Age of Sigmar Terrain, but I also managed a few digital games as well as I continue prepping for the upcoming Brewhammer in Columbus, OH. Check it out after the break.
Hello and Happy Monday everyone! I hope you had a great week of Warhammer last week and have plenty more Warhammer planned for this week. One of the biggest hobby projects I began last week was a deep dive back into Warhammer End Times lore to find a bit of lore ripe for the picking to bring over into my upcoming Fyrelsayer army project. After a solid five hours of lore research, I found that nugget of Gromil sitting and waiting for me. I have lots more to do before I can finally begin this project, but I cannot wait to bring it all to life in The Mortal Realms.
