After the hecktickness of the show and getting things ready for it, I might have been forgiven if I’d had a bit of hobby burnout or taken my foot off the gas. However at the minute i feel really galvanised, so got straight back on the bandwagon and finished off a unit of 6 Ripperdactyls.… Read More Hobby update – A right ripper of a unit
I know that projects can really galvanise output but with the completion of this final Lance of knights that is now almost all my Bretonnians complete. All that had remained were: 2 damsels (1 on foot and 1 mounted) and a morning star paladin. These have now been joined by 48 fireforge miniatures, foot sergeants… Read More Hobby update pt4 – The final Lance
4 posts in a 48 hour period! Things are going crazy here. As you can probably tell, my hobby has been on overdrive, trying to get things ready for the show. It’s been pretty tunnel vision and all other hobby has gone out of the window. The next items finished were some of the heroes… Read More Hobby update pt3 – character-ful heroes
Flicking through the blog, I realised that I’d completely missed uploading shots of the unit finished just before the Lizardmen Cold-ones, my Grail Knights. I again followed my trend of keeping a unified colour scheme across the unit though this time I attempted to add a bit more detail to some of them, adding cross… Read More Hobby update pt 2 – We can make you stronger, faster, Bret-er!
With the show in the works and having been asked to run a game again, a few months back I had some thoughts on what I’d like to do this year. My club mate (and regular opponent) Luke, had expressed disappointment that he hadn’t been able to attend last year. With his high standard of… Read More Hobby update – Things can only get Bret-er! Part 1
With the launch date of the Call of the Crown as 30th September, I thought I’d better get a mosey on and start hammering away at my pledge. With 6 Lizardmen coldone riders already on the table and started, I’d excluded them from the pledge but with another 6 not started, it seemed as good… Read More Hobby Update – a case of cold ones!
Call of the Crown is an annual challenge set by the Crown of Command podcast. This is a podcast mainly dedicated to the herohammer era (4/5th edition) but they are welcoming of any warhammer fans. They also produce a fanzine that is a complete nostalgia fest if this era is your thing. The 3rd issue… Read More Call of the Crown 2022
Another month has shot by without a post. This is starting to be a habit! As ever, although my blogging activity has dipped, I’ve been steadily painting, interspersed with a game here and there. Empire The first thing crossed off were the first 20 Halberdiers in my fledgling Empire army. I don’t mind saying that… Read More Monthly(ish) hobby update – Empire/Brets & Lizards
The joy of being so poor at updating the blog recently, is again I’m able to post a chunk of hobby update. It makes me look like my out put is along the lines of Davekay or Az’ (rather than it being spread over a 3 month period…)! So i’ll kick off with: Empire Following… Read More Hobby Update, a little bit of this and a little bit of that.
After 3 weeks of back to back covid cases in our house, in the run up to and over Xmas (only avoided by yours truly), things have got back to semi normality (only ruined by some killer hours at work). The good news is I managed to squeeze in some painting and it’s one of… Read More Hobby Update – a veritable feast I tell you! (WE, Empire, Beastmen, Dungeonbowl).
