New Year, New Army

So as it's a new year and my local gaming group decided we should do an escalation league in the new year. I've also decided that I'd like to learn how to use an airbrush. So I'ce decided to combine these two together. And what better way to combine these but to paint white, that most difficult of colours and start a white scars army.

A look back on 2017

So I thought I'd look back at what I've managed to do over the pervious year, projects that I have started or finished, the models that I have painted, the events I have attended, my first major forays into the hobby social media world and a little round up of my time working for GW. Warning: this will probably be a long post, with plenty of pictures to break it up, but a long read non-the-less. 

Most of my space wolves as they stand at the end of the year

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)

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.....

Dan's Space Wolves Showcase

So as you guys know every now and again I like to try and get other armies showcased on here so that we can all spread the hobby love just a little more. And today is one of those days, and you are lucky enough to have Dan's space wolves to feast your eyes upon, so without further ado I will pass you over to Dan

 

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.

Projects Updates

So I thought I'd take a chance to just post about what I've done over the last couple of weeks and let people know where I'm taking my armies and projects next. Also managed to take a bit of a hobby break last week which has refreshed me to start back at some bits and pieces. 

First BBQ of the season, not hobby related but was super tasty

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

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

Sylvaneth Army showcase

So this week I haven't managed to get a huge amount of personal hobby time in this week (I finished the armour on 5 space marines) but I have managed to get a whole bunch of inspiration as well as painting a whole sylvaneth army for the shop (for those of you who don't know I know work in the Southampton GW so come say hello) so I thought I'd showcase them here seeing as I painted them.

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.

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.

Giving Age of Sigmar a go

So this is mainly a 30k blog but I've slowly started throwing in some other wargaming related stuff into it such as x wing. I recently decided I wanted to give Age of Sigmar a go! Yes I know it is heresy but below is my reasoning for it. Don't worry the blog won't become over-ridden with it but you may see the occasional update every now and then.

More Hobby Projects!

As with all hobbyists we all have a small amount of the hobby butterfly within us, and it is to that extent that I have started a new project, resurrected some old ones and added to existing ones. I'm also going to try and bring you a couple of battle reports for star wars xwing if I can (maybe once I've got a nice mat to take photos on). To that end I am going to split these updates over the week in a couple of different posts so that I can spend a bit more time chatting about each one in a little more depth. Todays topic, Space Wolves!

Lack of Hobby time

So I currently have a major lack of hobby time. I am currently in a short module which requires my full attention as well as having recently purchasing Stardew Valley (Yes I know). But I have managed to get a couple of bits done in the last two weeks. 

What I'm currently spending all my waking hours working on

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.

Forays into X-wing

So I've decided to try my hand at a new table top game, and with the release of the new film what better a game to branch out into than Star Wars X-wing. Between myself and a couple of my friends we are planning on collecting a different faction each so that when we meet up we have a variety of different ships to play with.
