Every Christmas season in the Rollmodels community we have a Secret Santa, and this year my santee was my good friend Rich. I had no ideas for what to give him until late November, when all of a sudden I connected three things:
That Rich is an Orruk Warclans enjoyer.
That the preview for the upcoming (now released) Orruk Warclans update included a terrain piece. (Since then the terrain piece has been released.)1
That I like to scratch-build terrain and wanted more practice.
The synthesis of these 3 facts was obvious: I should build my own take on the new Orruk Warclans terrain piece and gift it to Rich!
In January I didn’t do much hobby or gaming for a very good reason: a trip to Paris for non-holiday purposes. I may write about that in another post, as it was quite an experience, but for now I’d like to catch up on some blogging about what I managed to accomplish creatively in spite of the disruption.
Slowly, but surely, the army of Nuloren (my personal City of Sigmar) is growing. The latest additions are two units of light aelf cavalry: Shadowblade Dark Riders and Wanderer Glade Riders, the latter of which are a perfect proxy for the former.

In my experience, it’s useful to write about a year as it comes to an end or, in this case, as a new one begins. I haven’t done a lot of blogging recently so it’s particularly useful now, helping me sort my memories and climb out of the discombobulated funk I find myself in. What did I do in 2024? How am I feeling about it?
