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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Today on the blog I have another review for you from the miniatures company CP Models.
CP Models were kind enough to send over some of their Troglodytes & Jungle Goblins for me to look at.
All models featured are made form metal and are all supplied with plastic bases.
Let's take a look.
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.
We cant have too many Fantasy miniatures right?
Well today I have some miniatures from CP Models who kindly sent over some examples of their Fantasy range for me to review.
You may recognise the name CP Models on the blog as last month I painted one of CP's Heavy Trooper Ogyrn which I am pleased to say is being featured on their website which can check it out here
But let's take look at the Fantasy Miniatures
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.
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.
I can't put my finger on it. It could be due to work, the times or I am starting to miss getting out more than I think.
In any case this week I wanted to get myself motivated to start painting again and took my first steps to get my 2021 hobby underway.
This week I thought I would have a little look back at the three Warhammer Fantasy Armies I have painted this year as some times you paint something and don't get an opportunity to sit back apricate the entire project.
So let's take a look the armies.
Sorry for not posting last week but here at Shaggy Wargaming towers I have been having building work going on so everything is a mess and I have not had any time to do much of anything..
Thus week though I did manage to get some time and I got round to finally finishing the Great Unclean One that I purchased a few weeks ago.
Let's take a look.
As you have probably noticed over the last few weeks most of the posts have been hobby updates as now we are into Lockdown 2.0 so unfortunately the Warhammer Fantasy campaign has been on hold.
This has not stopped me continuing on with my hobby and diving into to projects.
This week I go back to my Nurgle Daemon army and add some more recruits for Papa Nurgle.
I was having a little look on Ebay the other day and came across this auction for the rule set for Gorkamorka which had some of the old school cardboard terrain which was around during the 90s
As it is Orktober after all and I put a bid in and..... I won it...
I have been on a bit of a Mantic kick these last weeks and as I have just finished painting my new Northern Alliance warband for Vanguard I decided to get to work on the Terrain Crate Battlefield Objectives that are used in the scenarios for the game.
This week on the hobby desk I have gone through my grey pile list and decided to worked on my Northern Alliance warband for Vanguard as I really do want to get people trying out this game and its taken me a bit of time to get to these due to other games my gaming group are playing and if you are like me you painting and gaming revolves around that.
I visited Mantic HQ a few years ago now for the launch of Vanguard and it was a great day and it's a good game.
You can see my visit to Mantic HQ and my Interview with Matt Gilbert about Vanguard from these links below.

This week I have had the terrain bug and got to work work on a few projects for Fantasy games.
Picture this way...
