Thought it would be fun to do a round-up of the year. Not wanting to create an essay on each daily topic, I will list my top five in each category, add a link and a reason why I choose it. Let the recap begin!
- Aliens - Xenomorphs - 2021 was the year for most painted minis in the last 5 years! Helped in no small part by painting up 16 Xenomorphs.
- Aliens - Gorman - Gorman was fun to paint model, where I attempted to copy the movie outfit to the best of my abilities.
- Judge Dredd - Medic Judge - Something a little different from the average Street Judge.
- Judge Dredd - SJS Judge Quincy - sat on the to-be-painted pile for far too long. It was a real treat to finally complete this model.
- Judge Dredd - Nero Narcos - Put my own twist on this absolute beast of a Judge Dredd villain. A simple colour change made a massive difference in painting this model.
2022: What does 2022 hold? Lots of painting Aeldari and hopefully finish painting the Marines from Aliens. After that, some more Warlord Games and some Space Marines.
- Sharpe's Triumph - Historical storytelling won out this year. Maybe due to it being a palette cleanse of a sort?
- Luther: First of the Fallen - Dark Angels, chaos, arrogance and Gav Thorpe. What more could I honestly hope for?
- The Purging of Kadillus - Double Dark Angels. I feel the draw to this chapter and its dark secrets.
- Aliens vs Predator: Prey - A story that I wouldn't describe as a masterpiece, but it brought me so much enjoyment.
- Judges: Volume Two - Early Judge Dreddverse tales, I need to delve deeper into the book collection and read more 2000 AD novels.
2022: More of Sharpe's adventures for sure. I want to read a few more Discworld's this upcoming year and delve more into Dan Abnett's stories, either Eisenhorn or Gaunt's Ghosts. I feel Gaunt's Ghosts, and Sharpe could be a good pairing.
- Eisenhorn - Xenos - Eisenhorn bought to life, the series has been started, and now it demands to be finished.
- Queen's Gambit - Something a little different for me, after enjoying the tv show, I took to listening to the drama, and it was so much better. Brought more background to the characters.
- The Long Night - Dark Angels vs. Nightlords in the Horus Hersey arc. A perfect line-up, along with a fantastic story.
- Arkham County - A late entry, but a very interesting modernization of the Lovecraft stories. Fun, enjoyable listen.
- Khârn: The Eightfold Path - Short drama about everyone's favourite Khârn. This gives us a noble, honourable character who is swept into bloodshed he did not choose.
2022: More Horus Heresy. I want to finish the series and move onto the siege of Terra and maybe find a new series to start delving into. I also want to get through more Xenomorph stories that I have enjoyed lately.
- Judge Dredd: Complete Case Files 14 - The best arc Necropolis! The Dark Judges have come to claim MC-1 as their own, and no one can stop them.
- Boba Fett Enemy of the Empire - Star Wars' best Bounty Hunter, written by John Wagner! Highly enjoyable.
- Glimmer Rats - Full Metal Jacket meets Sci-fi is a tremendous short-run comic. Deserves a revisit by 2000 AD.
- The Dead Man - Linked to Complete Case Files 14 - It follows the return of Dredd to MC-1 just in time to stop the Dark Judges.
- Brit-Cit Noir - X-Files meets Judge Dredd with a British twist. Not the most important stories out there but stuck with me, which means it has to be here.
2022: More Judge Dredd and more 2000 AD in general. Going to read more Megs and Progs. I also want to delve into Slaine more before releasing the Warlord Games miniature line.
- Nanaimo Imperial Stout Collaboration by Bellwoods, Trillium Brewing and Evil Twin - My favourite treat in the form! Sign me up.
- Unify or Die 2021 by Blood Brothers Brewing - So good I've now reviewed it twice!
- Damien Thorn by Blood Brothers Brewing - A big, bold brew. Maple, Hazelnut and coffee, A killer combo.
- Peche Mortel Framboise by Dieu du Ciel - Four stouts in the top 5. I definitely have a type.
- Bianca Blueberry Maple Pancake by Omnipollo - Beautiful colour and flavour. A stunning beer for sure.
2022: Not sure what next year will hold. My drinking has slowed right down, so you may see fewer reviews. Just don't know anymore.
Youtube Videos I've created
- Road to Necromunda with House Delaque Part 1 - Leader - Started my Journey into the deep dark underhive.
- Painting Jack Point by Warlord Games - 2000 AD - Judge Dredd - A favourite Judge Dredd character finally has a miniature.
- Aliens Another Glorious Day In The Corps Painting Xenomorphs - The most painted models I've done at once.
- How to Paint Craftworld Altansar Aeldari - A learning curve that seemed to work.
- Xenomorph assembly. Aliens: Another Glorious Day in the Corps by Gale Force Nine. - Fuck those tails!
2022: More gaming, more paint and lots more Aeldari. Maybe a month blog round-up as well moving forwards.
And there you go. A quick and painless round-up of the year. Overall I am really pleased with what I achieved. My ultimate goal for 2022 is to stay on course; I want to improve this year and spend time learning the skills and abilities. I also wish to be more organized. Wish me luck!
I hope you have enjoyed this year with me, and here's to the next one.
