Review: Grabbelcast Terrain

Today on the blog I have a review of terrain all the way from Russia!

Yes the nice people over at Grabblecast have sent over to Shaggy Wargaming towers a sample of there fine terrain that will work well for Shadespire, but thats not all Grabblcast have to offer.

Let's take a look.

Half Term Trip To Newcastle and Hobby Up Date.

Merry Chrsitmas!

Review Art Of War: Nightvault/Shadespire Tokens

As many of you know who frequently visit my blog I have been enjoying playing Shadespire and I am  currently working my way through painting all the warbands.
One thing that I have notice playing is that all the tokens are all the same and sometimes you can get mixed up who's tokens are who's and theres not much individuality.

Well Art of War Studios may have the solution for you with their Shadespire/Nightvault compatible tokens.

Art of War Studios aim to design practical and beautiful tokens to make games easer. They believe in speeding up your gaming and make your gaming table look great.

Art of War Studios were kind enough to send me their Shadespire/Nightvault token set.

Lets take a look..

Review: Rosemary & Co Brushes

As miniature painters getting the right brush and one that lasts is always important and finding brushes that will last more then 5 minutes and at a reasonable price can be a case of trail an error. 

I have had brushes that I have spent a lot of money on to cheap brushes from ebay that you just have  to throw away after one use.

One brush company Rosemary and Co aim to give you quality hand made brushes at a reasonable price.

Rosemary and Co are a brush company with over 35 years of experience who cater to professional artist to miniature painters with a catalog of brushes from synthetic to Kolinsky Sable..

Rosemary and Co were kind enough to send me a range of brushes to review and put through there paces.
So lets see how I got on.

Shadespire: Ironskull Boyz

My paint brushes have been out again (well new ones from Rosemary and Co which there will be a review of soon) and this time another Shadespire Warband has been painted and this time the Ironskull Boyz bring the Waahhhh!

A Night In The City Of Shadespire

Friday night I took a visit to Riotville and had a few games of Shasdespire with Riot and Lee.

I packed my warbands and headed over for a throw down.

I decided to have a go with my Chosen Axes as I have recently painted them which you can view here and had a go at creating a deck for the first time.

As the Axes get inspired by being on a objective after a round I made sure to include some objective cards that get me glory just sitting on them.

So the plan was to sit back get inspired and charge in.... Lets see how it went.

Shadespire: The Fastriders

Another warband from Shadespire has been on my painting table this week and this time its the Fastriders.

More pictures below..

Shadespire: The Chosen Axes

The paint brush is in full flow as another Shadespire warband is painted and ready for battle. 

This time its the Chosen Axes!

Shadespire: The Liberators

So after the games at Riots I have the shadespire bug and dived into my Sally 4th storage solution which holds all my Shadespire goodies (cough shameless plug..review here cough) and got to work painting The Liberators.

Returning To The City Of Shadespire

Yep I got a few games of Shadespire!

Riot of Riotville fame invited me over along with Lee to have a scrap in the cursed city of Shadespire.

I have not played this game in so long so I was basically starting again.

Riot suggested that I use his beautiful painted Liberators and his new super I will not make friends deck.

Riots nice Liberators I used for the day.

Riots Orks used by Lee

Hobby Resolutions 2019 Act 1

So we all do this this at the start of the year we look back at the year gone by and think what are we going to change or get better at.

During last year I did a few resolution posts to keep me on task and the last one was in October and you can have a look here

So lets have a look at whats happened between October and December and whats my next plan..

Hobby Resolutions Part 3

Ok so this has taken me a while to get back on track as part 2 was in May but lets get on and see if I hit my targets.

Sally 4th: Shadespire Storage Solution Review

For the past few months I have been looking for a storage salution that would allow me to have all my Shadspire minitures and accsories stored in way that they are all in one place.

On my search I found a company called Sally 4th which produces lots of differnt products using MDF but also storage salutions that fit in to 19 litre Really Useful storage boxes for board games and war games.

How do I store this lot...

I contacted Chris at Sally 4th with an idea about using the template of his storage salution design but make it so it fits all the miniatures and accessories in the Shadespire range .

 After a few months of ideas going back and fourth Chris and I came up with this storage solution.

Hobby Resolution Part Two

At the start of the year I made a post about my Hobby Resolutions for the first quarter of the year.

So how did I do?

Hobby Resolutions For The Next Few Months At Least.

Ok it may be a bit late..... I will try and think of a few things that I can do over the next couple of months and maybe some long term goals as I think that works better for me.
