Holy shit, what a show! But the thing that surprised me the most, having finished re-reading the book days before and then watching the show again, was just how much more refined the \[…\] ## [New Edition Dramatis Personae](https://spudworks.com/hobby/new-edition-dramatis-personae/) _2026-08-24 · Colin Ferm · spudWorks Magazine_ Games Workshop, in my opinion, often gets shit for stuff it doesn’t deserve. One prime example is the rules releases. I hear all the time about how GW draws out the rules releases so they can time them to earn the maximum amount of money off them. And, if I thought that was true, I’d \[…\] ## [Paragon of Faith and Other Stories](https://spudworks.com/reviews/paragon-of-faith-and-other-stories/) _2026-08-22 · Colin Ferm · spudWorks Magazine_ It will surprise no one who’s reading this that I picked up this book in addition to Aestred Thurga. I really enjoy Sororitas stories. Sure, they can sometimes fall into the same traps as Astartes tales but, on the whole, I find do it less so and I’m always more interested in relatively normal people, \[…\] ## [Escher: N23 vs. N26](https://spudworks.com/hobby/escher-n23-vs-n26/) _2026-08-20 · Colin Ferm · spudWorks Magazine_ The promise of the new 2026 Necromunda edition is that if we had a gang, it would be valid within the new rules. So I wanted to put that to the test because I have a fair number of gangs. Would my old gangs still be valid within the new rules? To be honest, having \[…\] ## [Dark Matter: Season One](https://spudworks.com/reviews/dark-matter-season-one/) _2026-08-19 · Colin Ferm · spudWorks Magazine_ It’s funny to write a review of the show without explicitly discussing the book it was based on. But since that’s the topic for next week’s (very long) article, I’m keeping this review limited to the show itself, both to avoid revealing the differences between the two for people who haven’t checked out both but \[…\] ## [Necromunda Newness](https://spudworks.com/hobby/necromunda-newness/) _2026-08-17 · Colin Ferm · spudWorks Magazine_ I was lucky enough to pre-order my Necromunda:Skirmish:Warhammer box through a game store here in Germany that shipped out their copies on the Thursday before release so that mine arrived on Friday, which has given me three whole days to go through everything before sitting down to compose my thoughts on it. But… before I \[…\] ## [A Nice Man To Marry](https://spudworks.com/fiction/a-nice-man-to-marry/) _2026-08-14 · Colin Ferm · spudWorks Magazine_ The wedding feast of Lydia Freihaus to Benjamin Stutzman occurred the day before and the mess still lingered, cluttering the small house and the field between it and the barn with discarded remnants of festivities. Leafy celery stalks sat in water filled mason jars surrounded by the skeletal remains of turkeys, chickens, and roasts on \[…\] ## [Everlasting Campaigns](https://spudworks.com/hobby/everlasting-campaigns/) _2026-08-13 · Colin Ferm · spudWorks Magazine_ I’m not even German. I’m American. And, even then, ethnically, I’m mostly Swedish. If I’m German, it’s mixed in there with the rest of my American mutt heritage. So I don’t really know how I ended up running the Necromunda Discord server in Hamburg, Germany. I think it was just a right place at the \[…\] ## [Dark Matter: The Novel](https://spudworks.com/reviews/dark-matter-the-novel/) _2026-08-12 · Colin Ferm · spudWorks Magazine_ Dark Matter is a novel by the author of the mind-bending works Wayward Pines and Recursion, Blake Crouch. It’s a short, punchy work of fiction that takes some interesting concepts from physics and builds a dynamic and fascinating tale around them. It’s not a perfect book. The characters aren’t always fully developed, and some of \[…\] ## [One Last Go With Old Rules](https://spudworks.com/hobby/necromunda-one-last-go-with-old-rules/) _2026-08-11 · Colin Ferm · spudWorks Magazine_ If everything works out the way it’s supposed to, by the end of this week I should have my grubby little hands on the new Necromunda:Warhammer:Skirmish boxset (or is it Skirmish:Necromunda:Warhammer…?) and books to pour over endlessly and compare and contrast with the old. And, if I’m really lucky, I might have enough to say \[…\] ## [Find what they just said (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/JIkMLY1gWnXq) _2026-08-11 · **Sponsored**_ Surface recent public signals so you can send policy-aware, relevant outreach ## [Goliaths Next For New Minis](https://spudworks.com/news/goliaths-next-for-new-minis/) _2026-08-10 · Colin Ferm · spudWorks Magazine_ Welp… one week later and it’s official, the Goliaths have been announced to be receiving their new Necromunda Journal and a line up of champion miniatures. The closeness of these two announcements has be actually believing that it’s more likely than not that both these journals, models, and card sets will probably all go up \[…\] ## [Hobby Memes Worth Sharing](https://spudworks.com/hobby/hobby-memes-worth-sharing/) _2026-08-10 · Colin Ferm · spudWorks Magazine_ I am a stupid geek who loves memes about my hobby. I can’t help it. They’re just often too good. And correct. What’s best about a good meme is that it captures something absolutely true about its subject and, when it comes to hobby memes, I think these have us dead to rights. Hopefully these \[…\] ## [Hot Hobby Update](https://quackabout.bearblog.dev/hot-hobby-update/) _2026-08-09 · quackabout · Quack About_ It is hot and dry in England, has been for a while, will be for a while. On a positive note, I have been painting more. Moving my hobby space to a small bureau in the hall and an airbrush set up in the garage has actually made me want to get painting. It helps that both spaces are relatively clear and clutter free, so there are no distractions. Over the past couple of weeks, I have painted a Space… ## [Die Tavernen im Tiefen Thal](https://spudworks.com/reviews/die-tavernen-im-tiefen-thal/) _2026-08-08 · Colin Ferm · spudWorks Magazine_ My wife and I were at a couple’s house for dinner that we’re good friends with. They’re avid game players. Or… at least he is. She might be game because he likes games so much. But, together, we’ve played a lot of games together in a large part because they have so many! It’s a \[…\] ## [Can’t Freehand? Try Decals](https://spudworks.com/hobby/cant-freehand-try-decals/) _2026-08-06 · Colin Ferm · spudWorks Magazine_ I know people who are masters in their skills with a brush. They can paint anything onto the most tiny surface. And, yet, they swear off decals as being too big of a pain in the ass. If you’ve painted more than a couple miniatures, you’ve probably gotten a sheet of transfers with a set \[…\] ## [The losing streak continues](https://quackabout.bearblog.dev/the-losing-streak-continues/) _2026-08-05 · quackabout · Quack About_ Oh dear oh dear! Another game of 40k, another defeat. This time it was my Black Templars vs Orks. I conceded end of round 2. Whilst it was a humiliating defeat 1 , I again can see areas to improve. Do not charge into Orks during their Waaagh! Yep, that was silly. I wanted to chop up some Orks and get the centre objective, but instead I just gave the Orks another round of combat with Waaaagh energy… ## [Dark Matter: Introduction](https://spudworks.com/news/dark-matter-introduction/) _2026-08-05 · Colin Ferm · spudWorks Magazine_ One of the inspirations for relaunching spudWorks was the news that Dark Matter, the AppleTV series was actually renewed and coming back for a second season. If this seems like an odd reason to dust off a URL and bring it back to life as a hobby/fiction/review site, that could be understood. After all, shows \[…\] ## [Bananagram Procrastination and CSS Fun](https://quackabout.bearblog.dev/bananagram-procrastination-and-css-fun/) _2026-08-04 · quackabout · Quack About_ Ever since I saw James Zhan use some simple CSS to make keyboard style boxes for displaying shortcuts, I wanted to do the same but for Bananagram tiles. So, to avoid actual real life responsibilities, I made some minor tweaks to his code. P R O C R A S T I N A T I O N And here is the code to achieve such wondrous amazement. Just add this code somewhere in your theme CSS, and use (or whatever you… ## [Escher First For New Models](https://spudworks.com/news/escher-first-for-new-models/) _2026-08-03 · Colin Ferm · spudWorks Magazine_ This is some good news. I was speculating with others on the Hamburg Necromunda Discord about whether Chem Alchemy had been written out of the new gang books. Based on leaked images of the table of contents, it didn’t look like they were getting much more than ten pages per gang so that didn’t leave \[…\] ## [I want Nolan's Odyssey in miniatures](https://quackabout.bearblog.dev/i-want-nolans-odyssey-in-miniatures/) _2026-08-02 · quackabout · Quack About_ I finally saw The Odyssey today, at my small local cinema. Probably not the way Nolan intended his film to be seen, and some scenes were slightly dampened by the chatterbox sat next to me. There seems to be a higher proportion of people that think it is cool to talk through a film at this cinema than normal... It feels like everyone has given their thoughts about this film, both positive and… ## [Brisk AI News Briefings (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/eBi4lrMnzccX) _2026-08-02 · **Sponsored**_ Read AI summaries and listen to audio briefings for top stories. ## [Core Space: First Thoughts](https://quackabout.bearblog.dev/core-space-first-thoughts/) _2026-07-29 · quackabout · Quack About_ On Monday I played my first game of Core Space . Three of us took our crews of traders out into the wreckage to salvage what we could find, whilst managing the actions of finicky civilians and avoiding the impending doom of the Purge . Core Space is a skirmish game, in which 1 to 4 (maybe more?) players control crews of traders, who are out to make some money in a harsh galaxy. They explore broken… ## [End of a Blood Bowl Season](https://quackabout.bearblog.dev/end-of-a-blood-bowl-season/) _2026-07-27 · quackabout · Quack About_ The Aardvarks and Dragons Blood Bowl League is over for another season. We had the end of season stunty sevens tournament and cheers to Nuffle yesterday, which are always a nice community touch at the end of the season. A good chance to see everyone, catch up, play some stress-free Blood Bowl, have a few drinks, and say thank you to everyone who keeps the cogs whirring in this excellent league.… ## [Almost a month later: A second game of 40k](https://quackabout.bearblog.dev/almost-a-month-later-a-second-game-of-40k/) _2026-07-23 · quackabout · Quack About_ I came into this new edition with the full intent to play more 40k. But did that happen? Nah! I blame Blood Bowl (I always blame Blood Bowl when it comes to playing other games... I love Blood Bowl but leagues are a commitment that takes up a weekly slot of game time!). I also blame the release of a new set of Star Wars Unlimited cards... But anyway, I went to a friend's house and played 40k last… ## [+++ BLIZGOB 001 +++](https://quackabout.bearblog.dev/blizgob-001/) _2026-07-22 · quackabout · Quack About_ ++ HIVE HADES - ARMAGEDDON SECUNDUS - ARMAGEDDON ++ 0I/AR/VL: -0354 Imperial reports of ork infighting within Hive Hades have been confirmed by a Black Templar scouting party. Clans are vying for territory in the Ork controlled hive, competing to control the factories necessary to fuel their war machine. Warboss Blizgob has been sighted using looted imperial weapons and vehicles. A large scale… ## [Airbrush experiments](https://quackabout.bearblog.dev/airbrush-experiments/) _2026-07-18 · quackabout · Quack About_ At the beginning of the year, I bought an airbrush. I’d wanted one for a while, so I decided to spend my Christmas bonus on a compressor, airbrush, and all the accessories needed for cleaning and painting. The plan was to set this up in the garage, as I didn’t want to mess up the spare bedroom where my hobby desk was. Nothing like aerated paint getting in the carpet. Unfortunately, it took me… ## [Re: Actually leaving my house more often](https://quackabout.bearblog.dev/actually-leaving-my-house-more-often/) _2026-07-17 · quackabout · Quack About_ I didn’t mean to do JulyReply , but here we are with reply number two, I guess. When I read this post by Puppy , about how getting (back) into Magic the Gathering led to it leaving the house more, meeting a new group of friends, and spending more time socialising irl, it made me think about how I have met all my recent friends through games. When I moved to the town I now live in, I didn’t know…
