Lidl are currently selling these daylight lamps for the reasonable price of £10, give or take a penny or two. I used to have a daylight lamp years ago until it broke, so I'm looking forward to using this new one. As I get older and my eyesight gets worse, I think I'll find it even more valuable for painting.
If you want one you'd better hurry, they won't be available for long, and I suspect it's UK only.

Now something of for less use to me. Hachette have launched another Games Workshop partwork for the Age of Sigmar game, Warhammer Stormbringer. It's not a game I play, but I might find something of use. This time they are covering a few different 'races'. For the Forces of Order are lots of the usual Sigmarines, plus Dwarves and what look like Tree-folk (dryads?) to my untrained eye. The Forces of Destruction are mostly Orcs, but with some Night Goblins and a huge Giant. There are also a few bits of terrain. Everything is plastic, and from what I've seen, very nicely detailed. The Sigmarines are much nicer than the earlier ones; they seem to have moved away from the Space Marines in Fantasy look that I felt the first lot had. The Orcs are suitable big and fierce. It all looks to be digitally sculpted, so there is a lot of detail.
Now while I have no interest in collecting the set, I might get an occasional sprue of orcs and goblins. Issue 2, which I believe is at a reduced price, is out soon, and includes ten orcs. A nice start to a Dragon Rampant force?*
If you want to know more about what is in future issues, check out the updates on
Fauxhammer (periodically updated to stay current).
* When the first of these AoS partworks was released I collected some of the Undead with the intention of using them in Dragon Rampant. They are still in a box somewhere.
