I’ve been offline with the blog for a bit as I had an army to paint.
a couple months ago i agreed to go to a LOTR tournament the 1st weekend of July. Ive not played LOTR since the 2008 Grand Tournament, and did not have an army painted.
Read MoreIts been a month, I managed to get quite a lot painted, despite some time out of town, lots of work, kids etc.
Got some cool games in and have been enjoying chipping away at some more of my collections.
Read MoreFirst update of what ive painted in 2023.
A good start to the year, being on holiday and the kids sleeping in, I have been up late and painted quite a few models. Got into the swing of things and found a few ways to make it faster.
Read MoreSo a final wrap up for the year and some thoughts for 2023 for my hobby.
I will do this first and then then normal stuff since last update.
Read MoreA long time since the last update. Trying a new photo edit system which will make this easier and then i just have to take more notes.
I’ve played a lot of games since last time, a bit of Frostgrave, a lot of Carnevale and 7TV pulp and we had a large demo game at Call to Arms in November.
Read MoreStill Plugging away getting photos of previously painted models done and uploaded to the galleries.
Read MoreSo i’ve had a bunch of Orruk Ironjaw models for ages, with a plan for a major converted army that i have not done yet.
But i happen to have bought a lot of them, and have way too many. So when the idea of playing Warcry came up i decided to paint some up as actual Ironjaws. In one of the many joblots i had bought i had a bunch of already assembled models, so decided to paint them.
Read MoreA bit of time since the last update, its amazing how quickly time passes.
A large amount painted since last time, I’ve gotten a few sets done and working on more sets. so a successful few weeks.
Read MoreA good few weeks of painting. Finished the first stage of a project for a game, and am working on more than a few others.
I ordered a bunch of shelves for my storage room so i can put my terrain up properly. This will help to clear room so i can build some test tables for terrain (easier to build when you can place the terrain as you go), and easier to display my models.
Read MoreA huge update this time, i got a bunch of terrain painted, so heaps of photos.
Ive had the past week off due to Easter and Anzac day, you can get 11 days off for 4 working days, which is very handy as often my days off still involve some work as people need me.
I played scenario 2 of Quarantine 37 and it was nearly as bloody as the first, though i managed to get off the table with some models this time.
Read MoreAnother catchup of models i had not gotten onto the site before now.
Read MoreA good couple of weeks of painting, i have mostly finished my Carnevale gang, and about to deep dive into my 7tv Project.
I got to play an amazing game of Stargrave using a bunch of terrain from my collection and while the game was a bust, in that 19/20 models on the table between us died, the game was so much fun. I got some photos so will do a separate post on this.
Read MoreA month since the last update, but better than nothing.
Got some good painting in. finally finished my terrain project and got to use it this weekend in a game of 7tv pulp. Awesome game.
Working through Carnevale models and then on to Crooked dice.
Read MoreFrom a painting perspective i only painted 1 model this week, but did finish 104 pieces of terrain i have been working on since Christmas. had i decided not to weather this it would have been finished weeks ago,but lessons learned.
Read MoreThe first update for 2022.
Ive been on holiday since Christmas, which is a nice change from last year, but then no family members were given 3 weeks to live just before Christmas this year.
Read MoreA wrap up of 2021s painting effort and lining up for 2022.
Read MoreWhere have i been?
I have been working on my entry for Armies on Parade 2021 - how did i do?
Go to the page and check it out. i have made a new page rather than a blog post as its heaps of photos.
Read MoreCrazy month, we have had a full lockdown, and when that happens work goes crazy. Ive not painted much in the past month but focusing on painting some heavily converted models really well.
Read MoreFinally back, and i painted a lot. As always, i got super busy with work, and Life, and Sundays (when i would normally blog) are taken up with catching on work.
But i have done a lot of painting since June, for a few key events.
Read MoreAnother couple of good weeks. Finished a 20 Block, did a pallet Cleanser and am really into the new block, having finished a bunch of them. Work is as crazy as ever and we are about to properly start plastering and painting my office so i am clearing out the room.
We finished the red king campaign and i am happy to say i am sated with Frostgrave now, having played a ton of games in the past 8 or so months.
