Painting and Hobby: Lost Patrol

I have been thinking about if I should paint this box set for ages... will I do a good job or not...

But my aim is to paint what I have in my collection so it's time to take the plunge and get it done.

Painting and Hobby: My Start in Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game Part 2

 

So in my last post I managed to paint 24 Mordor Orcs, 24 men of Minas Tirith and Theoden Mounted and on foot.

Now it was on to focusing on some single miniatures and get these finished so I can start on the Pelennor Fields box.

Painting and Hobby: My Start in Middle Earth Strategy Battle Game Part 1

 

Over the last few months I have been getting back into the swing of painting again.

It all started from trying to find a project to get me started and well after my annual Lord of The Rings marathon it gave me an idea to get on and paint some LOTR miniatures that have been on the to do list and thought this would make a great project.

Painting & Hobby: Mantic Games Vanguard Nightstalkers

  

Hello again.

Its been a while as I have been a bit busy with work and life stuff so I have not had much time to hobby but it does brings me on to todays post.

We recently had a glorious Easter weekend which saw unusual for England some sunshine and warm weather. More importantly I had a bit of hobby time but not much which made me come up with a plan.

Painting & Hobby: MDF Buldings Project

 

I have noticed in my vast terrain collection that I don't have many fantasy buildings.

 I don't know why this is the case just maybe something I just did not really think about. I have one or two prices that can fill some space but I feel I need a little more especially after playing Mordheim.

As I am on a quest not to buy anything new and paint/use what I have already in my to do pile I thought I would have a look and see what I can use to make some more buildings.

Painting And Hobby: Update Feburay 2022

 Well its been a busy few weeks for me with work and with my hobby time.

Firstly you may have noticed the blog has had a little refresh and has a snazzy new logo.

I decided to make the logo more clean and hopefully represent not just this blog but also any future projects online that I may pursue.

Thanks to my brother for the new logo designs.

So other then the new logo and blog refresh what have I been up to?

Well let's take a look.

Painting & Hobby: Warhammer 40,000 Chaos Cultists

 

    One of my objectives for this year is to reduce the grey pile and try to work through miniatures and projects that you just don't get round too finishing.

One project that I have been putting off for a while is to paint the remaining 10 Chaos Cultist that came with the Dark Vengeance box for Warhammer 40,000 a few years ago now.

I did managed to paint 10 for a Shadow War Armageddon campaign which you can see here but never got round to finish the last 10.

So it was finally time to get them finished.

Painting & Hobby: Death Guard Kill Team

Happy New Year!

I hope you all had a great holiday.

As the last days of the year drew to a close I continued on with painting miniatures in the grey pile that I can use as posable Kill Teams.

I decided to have a go at 3 Death Guard miniatures that came form an Issue of Conquest magazine.

 In 5th up until 7th edition Warhammer 40,000 I used to play Death Guard as my main army but as I have note played 40k in a while I have not painted the new style of Death Guard so Kill Team is a good excuse.

Painting & Hobby: Mines Of Moria Terrain & Moria Goblins

 As you may have seen in my Battle Of Balin's Tomb review (you can read this here) I added some of the Mines of Moria terrain to the gaming board to make it more 3D.

 I also added 22 Moria Goblins instead of the 12 in the box as I had some extra and thought the game could do with  more to get that horde feel.

Let's take a look.

Painting and Hobby: Necron Royal Warden

 As I painted the Space Marine Lieutenant model from the Imperium magazine as a Space Wolves Captain (you can see the post here) in my last Paining & Hobby post I thought as its been made I might as well paint my first Necron. 

Yes thats right I have not painted a Necron before.

Painting and Hobby: Space Wolves Captain Kill Team Edition

 

Continuing on with the Space Wolves theme I decided to convert the Space Marine Primaris Lieutenant from the first Imperium magazine to a Space Wolves Captain to add to my new Kill Team.

Back In The Game: Space Wolf Kill Team

 You may have notice that I have been away for a bit. 

If you have seen my social media posts I explained I was away to work on my metal health which has suffered over the last year. It came to a point were I needed to get some guidance and help. Posting the explanation was a hard thing for me to do as I don’t usually post personal things on line but I am not ashamed to say I needed the time to step away and needed help.

Since taking the brake and seeking guidance the the fog has started too clear. 

Painting & Hobby: Pound Shop Fantasy Terrain

 

For those who visit the blog regularly you will know I like terrain and I often keep my eye out for things in shops that I think would look good on the tabletop.

After a visit to my local pound shop I stumbled upon the garden section and found a a lot of shelves dictated to fairies and ornaments for the garden like magic doors and wells etc.

Looking at them I though these might be worth repainting and using for fantasy games.

Let's take a look

Painting & Hobby: Industrial Terrain Silo & Bunker

 

This week I did it.

 I finished all of my industrial terrain.

One Bunker and one Silo was all that was needed to be painted to finish this project.

Let's take a look.

Painting & Hobby: Industrial Terrain Project

 A few years ago I put a cheeky bid on Ebay for a load of industrial terrain which has been used in a fair few Shadow War Armageddon games but has always been that project I have not got round to.

 You can see the Ebay horde here

As there has been talk of Necromunda and as I was in the mood for a project I thought it was time to work through it.

Painting & Hobby: Sci Fi Terrain Barrels, Ladders and Gas Bottles

 

This week has been pretty busy but I had an hour spare for some hobby time so I grabbed a few bits of Sci Fi terrain from Wargames Terrain Workshop that have been on my desk for a bit and got to work.

These bits fit perfectly with my the finished terrain I posted last week which is a bonus and means I am on a bit of an Sci Fi terrain kick at the moment.

Let's take a look at what I painted.

Painting & Hobby: Sci fi Terrain Bits

This week I was in the mood to finish those little bits of terrain that hang around and you just don't get around painting. 

With an hour or two spare and wanting to get my hobby fix I got working on some bits of Sci Fi terrain.

The Sci Fi parts in question were a mixture of Mantic terrain and some small MDF terrain that I have used for Deadzone and Shadow War Armageddon and have been unpainted for too long.

Let's take a look.

Painting & Hobby: The Kraken From Hellboy

 Continuing working through my miniatures I decided I wanted to use one of my new Contrast colours and thought the Kraken from The Hellboy game from Mantic would be a perfect miniature to try this new colour on.

Painting & Hobby: CP Models Ogryn Heavy Trooper

The Sci Fi painting continues this week as I pick another miniature from my self and got to work on a miniature from CP models.

Let's take a look.

Painting & Hobby: Going Sci Fi With Fall Out & Friday Night Painting

 This week I went a bit Sci Fi for a bit of a change and mix up my painting and tick another few miniatures from the grey pile.

Let's take a look.
