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.

What's Old Is New Again..

 Well it's been a minute.

So some of my regular visitors to the site have probably noticed I have not posted a new post or anything on social media for about a year or so now.

There has been a few reason for this such as life and other things taking my attention away from the hobby and just needing a little time out.

Saying this I have been keeping an eye on the blog and I can't believe since I have been away the blog has hit nearly over 142,000 views.

Thank you to all that have read or commented on my posts.

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.

Review: Products For Wargamers House With Tall Roof

 

On todays blog post I am reviewing and making some terrain from Products for Wargamers.

I met James from Products for Wargamers back at SELWG and he kindly gave me one of his buildings to review for you.

So let's take a look.

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 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 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.

Warhammer Fantasy: Armies On Parade

 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.

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.

Painting and Hobby Update: It's All about Nurgle

 

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.

Painting and Hobby Update

On the blog today I have another hobby update as the grey pile list gets smaller.. or does it.

So what have I been up to this week then..

Warhammer Fantasy: Blood In The Badlands Part 9

Another day in the Badlands this week with the WOC facing off against the Empire.
