My week has been consumed by painting one thing, the Dark Angels Primaris Lieutenant that I teased last week. Before I get into that and talking about the “rivalry” between Warhammer 40,000 and Lord of the Rings, I wanted to mention a pleasant surprise I had. I shared the Fallout stuff I painted last week … Continue reading A Dark Angels Update and Thoughts on Painting 40k
Hello everyone, my apologies for the absence. It was an unexpected and unwanted sabbatical unfortunately. Almost a month ago, the electricity went out in my apartment and apparently it knocked out the motherboard in my computer too. In a further twist of bad luck, Chicago was hit with rioting like many other cities in the … Continue reading Scibor Project Finished and 40k Started
I can’t explain it but I do really love painting minis in the fantasy genre. I don’t necessarily read tons of fantasy books but if you give me a high quality sculpt of an elf or dwarf, I’ll probably enjoy painting it more often than not. Today’s post is unusual because I have two things … Continue reading The Joys of Painting Fantasy Minis
It sounds like the start of an exciting battle report but I have plenty of finished work to show off instead. No more hobby navel gazing from me for a while as well. I appreciate all of the support and advice you all have shared in the last couple months as I’ve been charting a … Continue reading Super Mutants, Survivors, and a Campsite
I’m going to break my “rules” and show an actual WIP this week. As I think I’ve mentioned before, I need to stop varnishing one or two figures a week as it isn’t efficient. I like showing you only finished work but I hope that seeing minis twice isn’t too much of a bother. In … Continue reading Codsworth and Some Serious MESBG Musings
As promised a while back, I do have some MESBG content to share for the first time in a little while. I realized recently that I only had a couple of ruffians left to paint before I hit the magic number of 12 which is what you need for most Scouring of the Shire scenarios … Continue reading Saruman’s Dirty Dozen
Has it really been six months since I last did one of these? I certainly missed writing them as I find battle reports to be one of the most gratifying parts of the hobby. It is where you see all your hard hobby work come together. For this report, I’m playing Maggot’s Farm from the … Continue reading Maggot’s Farm MESBG Battle Report
It took a lot longer than I hoped but I finally have what I need to play a new scenario in MESBG. Unfortunately, I ran into more warping issues with the previously completed version of Maggot’s crop so I ended up pitching it. Instead, I got some crops from my favorite MDF supplier, Charlie Foxtrot … Continue reading Farmer Maggot’s Crops Done (For Real This Time)
I know a while back I floated the idea of doing some painting guides on the site as a way to make the content available more unique and valuable to others and while I haven’t gotten around to doing it yet, I do have a guide to share with you. I’ve been hard at work … Continue reading How to Make Hedge Terrain for MESBG/LOTRSBG
I have quite a bit on my mind so this post might be a longer one than usual. Obviously, the world is kind of falling apart at the moment (or certainly the United States is) and while I’ve seen many people celebrating the extra hobby time (which I have been enjoying as well), it is … Continue reading Trees for Scouring of the Shire
