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 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.

Review: Lord Of The Rings Battle In Balin's Tomb

 

20 years ago Peter Jackson released the first film in his trilogy for Lord of The Rings The Fellowship of The Ring. 

Around this time Games Workshop released a miniatures game based on the new film.

In celebration of 20 years of the film Games Workshop have released a new board game/miniatures game which is based on one of the famous scenes in The Fellowship of The Ring The Battle in Balin's Tomb.

Let’s Take a Look.

Review: Warhammer 40,000 IMPERIUM

 

Games Workshop and Hachette are back with another weekly magazine to get you started in the world of Warhammer 40,000.

Let's take a look at what you get in issue one and what to expect in the future.

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 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 and Hobby: Warhammer Underworlds Nightvault Miniatures

 

This week I got the paint brushes out and got to work on the two warbands for Warhammer Underworlds Nightvault.

Painting and Hobby: Motivation & The First Miniature Painted For The Year

Last year I painted a lot of miniatures and it was my best ever out put, but for some reason I have lost my hobby mojo over the past few weeks.

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.

Painting and Hobby Update: The Last post Before Christmas

 Hello everyone. Sorry there was not post last week this is due to ongoing building works that have not run the smoothest unfortunately.

With building work still going on this week I managed to get some time and started to think about projects for over the Christmas period and next year.

Painting And Hobby Update: Here Comes Papa!

 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.
