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.

SELWG 2022 Gaming Show




I have been away for a while and just recently come back to social media etc as a lot has been going on for the past few months personally so the hobby has taken the back seat for a bit.

The last few weeks I have started to clear my hobby space and sort through a few things and looking through my timeline by just chance I stumbled across a gaming show called SELWG which was happing over the weekend and was very close to me.

So I could not say no and popped along to Lee Vally Sports Center in London and decided to take a look.

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.

Review: DMB Games Dungeon In A Box Subscription Box 1



 Today on the blog I have a review of a new monthly subscription box from DMB Games called Dungeon in a box.


DMB Games specialise in making all sorts for keen adventurers such as dungeon tiles and accessories sets and even provide a painting service if you want your dungeon ready to play out of the box. 


DMB Games were kind enough to send me over their very first edition of there new subscription box.


  Let’s take a look inside.

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.
