It has been two weeks since my last update and I will blame my surgery for that. It really did a number on me. For the first couple of days after surgery I could barely sleep or eat. The pain was pretty high and I was completely dependent on my fiancee. On my birthday, things … Continue reading Post-Surgery Painting Renaissance
If you’ve been visiting my blog much over the last month or two, you know I’ve been whinging about painting my Hunter Orc on Fell Wargs. They are very detailed miniatures and take more time than you expect to paint. While I enjoy painting them more than I let on, they are certainly a real … Continue reading A Hunter Orc Milestone plus There and Back Again
Another week in the books and its once again time to check in on my hobby progress which was somewhat light this time. All I have to show is three painted up Hobbit Militia who are done other than being based. Surprisingly, I had a pretty good time painting these metal sculpts which don’t have … Continue reading In Defense of the Shire and the Eriador Project
To my surprise, I spent most of my time since playing Roast Mutton, painting up more minis from my Breaking of the Fellowship set. Its nice to have four of the nine done now as one day I’d love to play LOTR scenarios, especially from Fellowship of the Ring . First up, is Gandalf who … Continue reading The Painting of the Fellowship
I have been hard at work and enjoying my painting since my post last week. I’ve been focusing on getting stuff done and not worrying if every little thing doesn’t come out perfectly. It can be liberating to paint in this way and I’m sure that is why I’ve been enjoying painting a lot lately. … Continue reading A Visit to Farmer Maggot’s Farm
Thanks in part to the encouragement of you all and a holiday weekend here in the US, I finally played my next scenario and this time it is the first one from An Unexpected Journey! I’ve been looking forward to playing this one for quite some time and while I fully admit that I haven’t … Continue reading Roast Mutton – Hobbit SBG – Battle Report
For the first week in a while, I wasn’t able to get my usual weekend update done on time but work being a bit of a drag last week was part of that and I was working on some ambitious new stuff including some bigger and hopefully better tree pieces! I’m pretty happy with both … Continue reading The Eriador Project Continues
There is quite a lot of news coming from the biggest MESBG convention in the world today. At ArdaCon, GW announced some new Army of the Dead models including the king and heralds pictured below. The level of detail on these new sculpts is impressive and while I don’t know if I’ll ever buy or … Continue reading News from Arda: New Models and Old Favorites Return!
It has been an interesting week for me. I put the Farseer up on Cool Mini Or Not for rating (you can see it and vote on it here, if you’re inclined) and on Instagram and have been humbled by the response. Sometimes you get a feeling when submitting your work for others to review … Continue reading Terrain Triumphs and Hobby Musings
Finally back with hobby progress and really it is just the completion (or at least very near done) Farseer from a couple of updates ago. I think this guy has ended up being a bit of a palette cleanser and while I’ve been yearning to paint MESBG stuff the last week or so, its been … Continue reading The Wisdom of the Eldar
