As the weather turns fall-y (rainly, windy and generally unpleasant) it's a good time for painting. Progress is still limited, but that's okay since painting this way is really stress-less which is nice! Also, my goblins are just a hobby project with no timer, so there's no stress to get them ready. Yesterday, I finished … Continue reading Hobby update – fall painting
Hobby time has stalled a bit. There's some progress in the goblin department, but I've not been motivated enough to speedpaint the 60 or so goblins as there's not fixed goal to work to. And actually, there's something relaxing in not having to force-paint anything, so I'm not too discontent. As such, a few of … Continue reading A little bit of hobby progress:
This my five year old daughter. (face hiden due to privacy online) She and I had some quality time together and we painted her first miniatures together! At our home, Paw Patrol is a thing. Both of my daughters are very much fans, so the house is littered in merchandise. My mate André has graciously … Continue reading Hobby time: the next generation
Recently, I played a tournament. In the first game round, I played JP with a great dwarven army. JP also does Kingdoms of men and has a thing for oldschool Citadel miniatures. In particular my oldschool pegasus drew his attention. It's an oldschool GW high elven pegasus I got from GW mail order somewhere in … Continue reading Pegasus cattle trade
The past weeks consisted of a number of hobby projects, all of which still need basing. That said, there's a lot of progress. Allow me to present: Continuing from a few weeks ago I finished the 3 trolls. Combined with the trolls I painted looooong ago, they form a full horde, which is a goal … Continue reading Restarting Goblins and other hobby projects
Last week I finished up a few models. Here's the zombie regiment that's been partially shown before. I love the submerged zombies in the swamp, a walking-dead feel! Speaking of undead, Lucienne (Jarvis' second, a lich queen) got a new model. The baseline is a kingdoms of Mercia Queen of the lake, printed without the … Continue reading Hobby backlog and too many new models……
For an upcoming tournament, I wanted a new unit: a unit of fanatics. As it is, I got 25-ish GW fanatics a few years back as part of an army deal which I always wanted to paint one day. It appears that the 2021 summer is that day. Here's the finished unit. I really like … Continue reading Hobby update – Fanatics
Yesterday, I posted a recent "models painted" update, but found the picture utterly lacking. I promised then to supply better pictures. This blog post does exactly that, post my "work in progress" pictures of my fanatics regiment. The models are GW flagelant models that I got as part of a collection a few years back. … Continue reading Hobby Update – Fanatics
compared to many other hobyists, the amount of unpainted miniatures I own is limited. This is mainly due to a serious restraint in buying/accepting new minis and not starting new armies combined with a slow-and-steady approach to painting. Ever since we moved together in a house (quite a few years ago) I have an agreement … Continue reading Managing the pile of unpainted miniatures
Back in the day, I posted my first painted gloomhaven mini ever - the cragheart. In my first Gloomhaven campaign back then, I played this critter and loved it! The campaign lasted a dozen games or so and was discontinued later because of Corona. Now Corona is finally (thank the heavens) on its retour here … Continue reading Gloomhaven (continued)
