So after a rather long delay caused by her sudden bereavement in the family, I’ve decided to start miniature painting again. I was working on some Imperial Fist Primaris Marines, which I was doing with contrast paint, and to be honest; I wasn’t really happy with them. Given that I was working on them atContinue reading “Bushido – miniature step by step”

Broken by the King
My first blog post in a while in relation to the hobby. Number of reasons for this but the main one was a simple one. I’d grown to absolutely hate painting and being part of it. After nearly two decades (not always painting admittedly) of being in the hobby I was done. The cause? TheContinue reading “Broken by the King”
Indifference, ineptitude, introspection and intellectual property – a Cursed City novella
Disclaimer – I have no idea what is actually going on and these are just my views and opinions. So, here we are again. another new week starting and another crisis involving the hobby. Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the past week you will have seen the noise which this time relatesContinue reading “Indifference, ineptitude, introspection and intellectual property – a Cursed City novella”
Living in a scalper’s paradise
So here we are again. Another GW limited release weekend and once again a vast hoard of genuine hobbyists out in the cold or faced with the prospect of dealing with scalpers. I am of course talking about the ‘Piety and Pain’ box and the Ravenor Returned limited edition book. In the interest of fullContinue reading “Living in a scalper’s paradise”
What next for the undying legions?
So the latest round of previews have been completed and if I am honest I was extremely disappointed. More focus on the Imperium and whilst the Stern sculpt is impressive it is simply another hero (jumping from a rock but that is another issue) for GW to drive the Imperium narrative forward. Psychic awakening hasContinue reading “What next for the undying legions?”
Ships, ships and more ships
When I first got into table top gaming I was at university. My house mates had been playing for years (though only one had a fully painted army) and were quite seasoned players. It was 5th edition back then and I plumped for a necron army. At the same time though I became aware ofContinue reading “Ships, ships and more ships”
February project – completed!!
So, the Venator is finished (well bar varnish but I cannot do that until the weather improves). If I am honest this project turned into a real chore. The model itself is an old one and was built easily (twelve years or more ago) but putting my kind of character into it was hard. ThereContinue reading “February project – completed!!”
February project update
So the venator is coming along nicely now. The army painter strong tone wash really lifted the hull beyond my expectations. I did try using different shades of grey but it did nothing (other than the humbrol dark). The strong tone was a bit last resort to give some character but I am really pleasedContinue reading “February project update”
Blood Angels v Necrons battle report
So there was a bit of a background to this game as Jon’s Blood Angels had faced my necrons a few weeks earlier and tabled them by turn two. On consideration (and given the litany of victories Jon has in our little casual group) we both wondered whether or not his primaris force was brokenContinue reading “Blood Angels v Necrons battle report”
