Anyone know if the Herman Miller Aeon is worth it? Because I got a knockoff and found that my dining room chair is still more versatile in that I can get into a “proper” upright sitting position or even sit on it like I would a bar stool. The worst part for me is circulation in my thighs getting cut off from the leading edge of the cushion.

Or 'I can spend a day trying to get hold of a copy of Cursed City'.

@@e.mailissimo2146 interesting thing I have just remembered from a few years ago regarding GW and launch boxes 'disappearing' from the store. Back when WH Quest Silver Tower was launched it had slow sales, the main box came out and it was on the store for a couple of years and then the second big box for Silver Tower named 'Shadows Over Hammerhal' (the red box) was released; this box lingered on the store for 13 months or so and then just disappeared. Then covertly around 8 months later the 'Shadows Over Hammerhal' suddenly reappeared on the GW website for sale, there was no promotion for a re-launch, nothing (the original WH Quest Silver Tower and all the extras weren't on the GW site no more. Then 4 months later the boxes sold out and it was gone forever. GW is a strange old thing when it comes to stock availability and stock availability transparency and also product life time.

@@e.mailissimo2146 Talking to my local GW store manager he has been told at this time there are no plans on releasing it again and it has been sold out worldwide as far as preorder stock, finding one at a store or online is really the only option. It is unlikely they will make more as manufacturing is all controlled by a very strict release schedule, if they switch production to make more cursed city it pushes all upcoming releases back, also they love the artificial scarcity, it means when they release the next box game or limited release it will fly off the shelves as people dont want to miss out.

Something that is rarely talked about is how important posture is while painting, hobbying and playing. I’ve done a few tournaments where by the end of the day I could barely stand up because of my back

Agreed! I thought it was relevant to talk about, as you can see that the chairs and table aren't correctly matched here, which is not good for your back.

What a session! Highly motivating! Ollie, look at your posture while painting and compare with Ciara's posture: you will kill your back! Congratulations. 👍

Great to see you guys painting again. great models by the way.

It's such a big project! I think you did so well really!

The Black Armour on the skellies really works with the red capes.

Love the video! I'm glad you didn't give up, even though it was a big challenge.

Great effort. I've been painting my models for a week and have only done 2 models. Jelson and Elmelda, Almost done with the big chap but not quite.

Fantastic video, amazing what 2 talented painters can do in just 1 day. Bravo

Ciara : I'd say a decent chair to sit upon and more of a straight back and considering its your first mammoth attempt - you did an excellent job, so pat on the back or how about a nice soothing soak with a glass of red and before you know it the water will be cold and you will wake from a demanding sleep, while Olly does what he normally does best, paints at his own speed.
