As a break from painting Dwarves, both Age of Sigmar and Middle Earth SBG, I decided to work on my Evil force for MESBG…which if you’ve not guessed by the title is The Dark Powers of Dol Guldur…
Thorin’s Company…part 1
During my last post, which if anything highlighted my scatter-gun approach to hobby, I had just enthusiastically ripped the cellophane off of my Thorin’s Company box. The ripping was then followed by cleaning, base building and getting a feel for my neighbour’s movements during in quarantine so that I can avoid them on my way to the basement for priming.
Since then I have been busy with the brushes and have painted my first six minis from the set…which is also, coincidentally the first 550pts of a project 🙂
The Lockdown Hobby Train has no breaks!
I’ve not posted much lately and that’s largely due to how busy my work life has been since the pandemic containment measures were put into place here in the UK.
That said I have been making the most of what free time I have for hobby and have been keeping sane by working on a number of projects at the same time to keep things varied & prevent a case of hobby burnout.
The Revolution in colour…part two
Been a quiet lately with all that’s going on, but here’s a quick update from the Renegades & Heretics project that I can had clean forgotten to publish over here on the blog…
The Revolution in colour…Part one
Just a quick one today. In my last post I mentioned that I was starting a new project in the form of a Renegades & Heretics list…well…I’ve made a start!
Viva la Revolution!
It’s been some time since I’ve got to sit an enjoy a hobby project that’s not a rush job prior to an event and so with having finished the build on a couple of ongoing projects it was time to decide on my project for next year.
To help alleviate my indecisiveness, I ran a poll on the facebook page for this blog and although there wasn’t much response there was a clear winner and that was my Renegades & Heretics project.
The Great Pillage Paintathon 2019…Part 3
With only a couple of days to spare Canis Rex is back from a visit to the local Tech-Priest for decal work and has been suitably grimed ready for Pompey Pillage 2019!
With what at last count looked like 47 40k players we should see another cracking 5 round tourney.
The Great Pillage Paintathon 2019…Part 2
Despite the warm weather I’ve been cracking on with work on Canis Rex and he’s almost ready to be handed off to my trusty Tech Priest that looks after the decals 😛
The Great Pillage Paintathon 2019
A slightly later start on this year’s mad painting dash to get ready for Pompey Pillage but that is partly due to me hitting an all time low model count for the 2000 point cap at the event.
This year I shall be running five(ish) miniatures in the event, three of which I have already painted.
3rd Confrontation Alliances
This last weekend saw the 3rd annual Confrontation Alliances event held in Havant by Confrontation Events.
This year I teamed with up with The Hawaiian Hurricane himself, Nick “Dice Down” Hyland.
Each pair had to put together two separate 900pt lists that would then function as a single 1800pt list. This allowed for some really interesting lists to pop up if you were willing to sacrifice the 3 CPs for being battle forged.
After much deliberation we eventually settled on Mechanicus / Knights. Here’s the list we ended up using:
