Merry Christmas one and all. May your newborn messiah avoid being murdered by the Roman client-king.

It’s not Christmas without the Doctor Who Christmas Special. And I had a sharp intake of geek-breath when Imperial Fist Space Marines strode out across the festive snowscape.

Grimdark future soldiers! Just wait until they unmask and you stare into the face etched with centuries of service to the God-Emperor…

Oh, it’s Bill Bailey. Bill Bailey serving double-purpose as comic relief and exposition.

What rammed home the visual similarity for me was the Rogal Dorn yellow, and the helmets flipped up à la Space Crusade.

Coincidence? Or deliberate homage? Leave a comment.

Embroidery student friend Laaaaaani Irving introduced me to the offline world of conventions with this weekend’s Leeds Sequential Arts Festival this weekend gone.

Dan Abnett may have been signing copies of Salvation’s Reach in southern Games Workshops – but one of his clones was in attendance.

I recently flattered/accused graphic designer Tears of Envy of resembling a transgendered Fifth Doctor. There was one there.

Judge Dredd refused to let me photograph him after I said he looked nothing like Sly Stallone. However, Judge Rico obliged. These chaps will be in the 2013 Judge Minty fan film.

And for all you chaps that weren’t able to make it, you can now buy the glossy A3 Avengers! Assemble! poster for just £5 with free postage.

Thanks to everyone that bought fliers, came to chat or simply to pilfer the stand’s free jelly babies. Special shout outs to tweeps @elblondino and @ed_fortune who swung by the stand to say hello.

Now to sleep.

Torchwood

Welcome to 2008. I saw the New Year in in the Welsh capital city Cardiff.

Cardiff’s main pull for geeky tourists like myself is that Russel T. Davies films a lot of his new reimagined Doctor Who here. The city is crawling with locations. In fact, Torchwood, Doctor Who’s bastard offspring series is entirely set here. I find both series’ Celtocentricity deeply irritating.

Wales is also famous for its national dish – cheese-on-toast. It’s very difficult to find in Cardiff as the place is bursting with chain Italian restaurants.

Anyway, I did visit the Millennium Bay and admired the fountain. Problem was, that all those thoughts of running water made me need the loo.

Having a slash on Torchwood.

Oh no! Turns out that very flagstone was the secret entrance to Torchwood!

Christmas holidays at last. I’m taking some time off to work on my super-secret new Doubles army along with Matt. We’ve dreamt up a bizarre double-team that’s in some ways a 40K ménage à trois. It’s all very idyllic at the moment, with phonecalls co-ordinating the two forces’ colour schemes and dicscussions about how the forces will tactically complement each other – but that’s bound to go out the window as pre-tornie panic sets in. Actually, there’s only two more weekends until the Doubles. Oh no, panic’s kicked in now.

Matt pointed out on the Dice Not Blog that the Host from yesterday’s Doctor Who Christmas special reminded him of the classic Blood Angels captain.

Blood Angels Captain looks like Doctor Who villain yes?

Uncanny hmmm?
