Pre-Christmas update

So just a quick update on what i've done since the last post on here. I've managed to get some bits and pieces painted and a couple more built. I'll go over what I've done and what I'm planning on doing over the Christmas period.

Photo unrelated, some models I painted for my old job (Yvraine, Cypher and Celestine and friend)

Gang warfare comes to the Aett

So unless you've had your head under a bush for the last couple of months then you've probably guessed what this post is a about. Well I've decided to dive onto the Necromunda band wagon. So as well as all the standard stuff that I normally post about I will update you on the progress and conquests of my yet to be name Escher gang.

Online Battle Reports

So Something a little different today. I thought I'd chat about online battle reports (having just helped film my third) and what it is like filming for them, why I enjoy them and what I think they do for the community. So hopefully this'll be something you enjoy and something I little different to the standard.

The Path to Path2Confrontation: part 4

So this is probably the final instalment of the path to confrontation series as the event is on Sunday. There are a couple of little bits left to go but most of it is all done, so here is a quick wrap up of what I've managed to get done in the last week or so since the last post.

The forge marches to war!

Today is an army showcase of my mechanicum. Like a servitor I have been slaving away over the last couple of months to get these guys done, firstly for events at warhammer world both earlier in the year (January) and one at the end of June, and secondly finishing all my owned mechanicum models (well nearly, see the bottom of the post). So read on to see the glory of the mechanicum ready to wage war, possibly for the emperor.....

All the mechanicum unit that I own

The Path to Path2Confrontation: part 2

So I've been cracking on with the painting since the last post about about Path2Confrontation. So I thought I would give you all a little bit of an updated in the progress. So far I've managed to finish, Russ' base, a whirlwind scorpius, and the lascannon arms for my mortis contemptor.

Word of the Sigilite Campaign Weekend

So last weekend myself and three others decended as team Excellent to Warhammer World to play in the word of the sigilite campaign weekend, a horus heresy narrative event where the loyalists and traitors battled over the back water world of Ageis to find something the Sigilite was very keen on getting back, so this is a little run down of my weekend and the games that I played.

My largest force of the weekend, three thousand points on mechanicum

Looking Forward to June

Time for another update about some upcoming bits and pieces. I'm attending a couple of events and meeting with some people in June so have a whole bunch of bits to finish off for that plus obviously painting up a new army for 8th edition and deciding on an Age of Sigmar army to actually finish off.

New Army - Custodes

So I thought I'd do a little writing about my newest army the Talons of the Emperor, or more specifically the Custodes part of that list. I have just shy of 1500pts at the time of writing (although I have some upgrade packs coming in the post which'll bring it to 1750pts). So Below are my thoughts on how they work and why I'll run them they way I'm planning on running them.

Regaining the Hobby Mojo

So first post in a long while. To be honest although I have been hobbying I haven't really felt the desire to interact with the community or post photos of my work as I haven't really felt inspired in any real way, plus I've had life things to sort out. But now the life things have been sorted and Inferno has now dropped plus a couple of other bits and pieces I thought it would be worth writing some more bits and pieces. So without further a do lets get on with it!

Army I took to the Warhammer World Heresy Doubles event

December Update

So I've managed to once again neglect making content for the blog or being active on social media as life (as it has a habit of doing) keeps getting in the way. So I thought I'd do a quick one today about what I have done recently and do some more in depth articles over the Christmas Period.

Space Wolves for the Shadow war

Today we are going to be looking at the army that I'm planning to take to the shadow war event at Warhammer World at the end of October. Also warning massive block of text ahead! So without further ado lets start at the beginning...

Note - this isn't the army I'm taking

I'm on holiday!

So the is the current view from my window. Now the wonderful things is that this means I'm on an actual holiday, the bad news is no hobby for two weeks so you'll have to hold out and wait for a little while, however that doesn't mean that hobby thought won't happen. I have two realm gate novels, three Horus Heresy novels, the new legions red book and the sylvanethbattle tome to chew through, so hopefully I can get some planningdone in the next two weeks and then we can hit the ground running as we have a legion  to carry on building as well as 2 AoS armies to build up and paint. Any way that's it from me for two weeks so I'll see you on the other side.

The Hobby Butterfly Strikes Again!

So as you may have noticed I've been quiet for a couple of weeks and that is unfortunately due to non-hobby related things needing to be done from both a personal and work side of things. I've started a couple of new projects and am keen to get some old ones finished, I just need to find the time and space to do so. Hopefully I'll have something to show later this week (when I have a chance to write it up) but there will be no proper update this week. Below is a photo of my finished 'Aard Boy tester model to whet your appertite until I can get something more concrete together.

Up coming projects

So there is plenty to do although less time than I'd like (thanks to a new full time job starting on Monday) so I'm just going to summarise what a need to get done over the summer. I am trying to get a whole bunch of different projects finished up, so that I can either sell them on or put them out for display. 

I'm Back!

 

So after a short hiatus due to having to finish off my dissertation and do a poster presentation I haven't had the time or really felt like doing even more writing than I had to, so the blog got put on the back burner for a while. But I'm back now and have a number of projects I want to get finished, including some raven guard, my ordo reductor, two different age of sigmar armies and finishing painting what I have for my space wolves. So hopefully there will be more regular posts in the next couple of weeks. Also if any one was an army they want showcased then feel free to message me in the comments, by email (hobbyfromtheaett@gmail.com) or over on twitter. 

So hopefully we'll see some more posts coming out in the next couple of days and weeks.

A quick update

This post is just going to be a quick update before a little bit of radio silence that will occur. You're second army showcase from Amy will be up soon but I have my dissertation to do in the next couple of weeks. 

This Weeks update

So there has been a lot of bits and pieces I've been working on/starting over the weekend (it's amazing how much hobbying you can get done when you are procrastinating). Below is just a little showcase of that and hopefully I'll have some other bits and pieces for you in the near future.

What I have and am working on

So I've managed to be away again for longer than I would like. However with all the university work, paid work and dancing I haven't had much time to do very much at all. Decided to post up a couple of photos of what I have managed to in the last couple of weeks.

This Year for the Hobby

So this post is going to wrap up some of the projects that I want to complete in the next half a year to a year in my hobby and give you some idea of what to expect from me over that time.
