2026/27 Hobby Season Kickoff and To Do List

 

Welcome to the 2026/27 Season of Amber! Special thanks go out to 40Kaddict for keeping the stamps stamping. I look forward to it each season and I will make more use of these stamps this season to make up for last. 😂 I'm keeping it pretty chill after my self-proclaimed gap season.  But there is still work to get done.

Without further ado, here's this season's menu of projects to choose from:

The Horus Heresy

• Complete two Custodes characters
  
• Complete a Custodes unit
• Complete a Dark Angels unit
• Complete the Dark Angels Spartan (1st priority)

Warhammer 40K

• Complete Lion El'Jonson (2nd priority)
• Complete a Dark Angels unit
• Complete a Dark Angels vehicle

Adeptus Titanicus

• Complete Legio Tempestus Warmaster Iconoclast Titan
• Complete more weapon options
  

Legions Imperialis

• Complete a unit of troops
• Complete a unit of dreadnoughts 

DreadTober

• Horus Heresy Dark Angels Saturnine Dreadnought
• Legio Custodes Contemptor-Galatus Dreadnought

Any progress here would be great. DreadTober will NOT be missed; the Spartan MUST get completed as well as the Lion in his 40K semblance. So that's 3 projects for sure this season, out of the gate. I really should balance the scales with my Titanicus forces by completing the Warmaster Iconoclast...monster March this season? So many fun projects! 

Check back from time to time to keep me honest and see how things roll. If you are hobbying, best wishes for your projects. If you are not; WHY NOT?!

Cheers and Happy Gaming!

Results from the 2025/26 Hobby Season

And we've come to the end of the 2025/26 hobby season. I took a bit of a gap year during this season for the first time since I started blogging here on April 8, 2013. I fine length of sharing with many fond memories.

I guess the gap year started when I completely spaced on posting a to-do list for this season...then after a couple projects I took a bit of a painting break. It wasn't a decision; not a well thought out thing...it just sort of happened.

During the season the blog still surpassed the million page views mark, whatever that really means. Still cool to see.  It's been a journey.

So, this season I completed two (?!) projects:

• 1 Dark Angels Brutalis Dreadnought (DreadTober!)
• 1 Death Korps of Krieg Artillery Piece

I also built a lot of stuff which has been shared as well - so not nothing this season!  I have a Horus Heresy Custodes force to paint, lots of new 30K and 40K marines to paint; and Legions Imperialis models as well. So the project space is rich! Oh, and I have a Horus Heresy Dark Angels Spartan beyond table-top ready that REALLY needs to just get DONE too.  Probably will put paid to that next before DreadTober sets in.

I had a relaxed hobby year with lots of modeling and some time to explore other hobbies. And now it's on to the next season where I expect to do some thing more than two completions. Stop by when you can and share the journey.

Cheers and Happy Gaming!
