More painting progress today, along with some more tentative hobby plans as I’m moving forward with a renewed sense of purpose and less of an energy-destroying illness leaving me drained and unable to do anything. Surprisingly, physical health and being able to do things are strongly correlated. I know I’m…

Rather than showing any recent miniatures or plans, I thought it would be nice to show off one of the Freebooter’s Fate models that I used as part of a painting challenge a few years ago. While it’s far from a properly finished model, I’d like to at least break…

More painting is done, hooray! As I’ve been rotating through the crews that I’m prepping for demo play, I figured it was time to work on more goblins because they paint up relatively fast, have some fun details, and really show off Werner Klocke’s sculpting style. If you might recall,…

While I’m still fairly sick, I was better enough to lock in a bit and get a bunch of painting done today as well. I’m skipping around a bit in projects and I suspect I might need to take a break from painting minis to do some other hobby-related items,…

Today marks the official start of painting models for my Shadows crew. While I’d like to say I was incredibly efficient and accomplished a lot, the truth is that I wanted to first try out how to get that ‘ethereal’ look by working on a couple of Wisps, and I…

Despite an ongoing respiratory bug that’s been sapping my will to do almost anything, I’ve still found time to get some painting and hobby done. I think it’s the excitement of steady progress; once you get into the habit of doing something, the amount of effort it takes to start…

Contrary to my earlier plans regarding the next planned crews, I decided to paint one of my Brotherhood minis, both to show how sub-assemblies work and because I was still waiting on the primer coat to cure on my next planned project so I had to pick something to paint.…

The midpoint of any project – especially a hobby blog without any pictures to post today – often involves explaining why the subject you’re engaging with has you hooked so hard. Much like the metaphorical fish, I was once smaller and looking for shiny things in the murky waters of…

The Cazadors are done and ready for play! Admittedly, that’s an oversimplification of what actually still needs to be done (checking for final cleanups, making sure base details are picked out a bit, cleaning up the black portions of the base, adding the names on the rear of the bases,…

I’ll be real: I don’t have a ton of inspiration for every single one of these blog post introductions, in part because there’s only so many ways you can write “well, I did some hobby stuff”, but mostly because I haven’t done the sort of daily writing that’s necessary for…
