Good lord, I’ve been posting every day and working on this project for fifty days. I’m not used to being this good at consistency – or good at it at all – so it’s pretty fantastic that I’ve been able to keep up my hobby motivation and progress. I still…

More work on pirates these days, as I suspect the theme will become clearer as you see more of the Specialists that I’m planning on using for them. Pirates are varied enough that you can make most crew ideas work if you’re willing to play around with your lists, and…

Now that I’m done with the first half of my crews, it’s time to get started on a perennial fan favorite: pirates! They’re one of the biggest factions available because pirates are the heart and soul of the game, plus they have so many diverse options for design thanks to…

Whew, I am still exhausted from yesterday, but that’s to be expected. Thankfully, I have had a bit of time for hobby work today, so I took to the painting desk to get another crew ready for gaming. I’d been working on her on and off over the past few…

Today’s post is actually going to be more interesting than usual, because we’re finally out of the well-worn recipes and heading into something a lot more interesting. This also happens to be the Leader of my Shadows crew, who are remarkably complicated to explain and therefore one of the worst…

Hooray, it’s another post about some niche mechanics/tokens for the Shadows, because they weren’t exactly complicated enough at this point. Today’s post is about the miniatures used to represent the Shadow Portal equipment, all of which look pretty cool. Shadow Portals These were incredibly simple to paint – start with…

Shadows are back, baby! At least, Shadows are approaching getting done, by which I mean my demo crew now has most things other than the Leader painted, which was an undertaking to say the least. Right now, I have enough done that it’s possible to play with the crew, which…

We’re looking at Shadows again today, as here I get to discuss a bit about some of the more entertaining ways that they get to break the basic assumptions of the game itself. Unfortunately for me, this also meant that my usual tricks for working with the human form weren’t…

Ahh, the weekend. A time when I can finally be somewhat less exhausted, take care of errands with my partner, and spend several hours painting uninterrupted with nice, easy-to-see-in sunshine through my room’s windows. It’s also nice to be able to sit down and work on my hobbies without feeling…

Goblins continue to haunt all of my thoughts, but in a good way. Mostly because I really like goblins in general, though the wackiness of the Freebooter’s Fate goblins is particularly appealing as I spend more and more time painting the individual models. Today’s model is particularly interesting, as it…
