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.

Review: CP Models Fantasy Range

 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

Painting and Hobby: More Dwarfs Gotrek Gurnisson

I hope you are all well.

Going through the grey pile I decided I wanted to paint a single hero model as I wanted a little a break from form painting hordes.

 I and went straight for my Gotrek Gurnisson model as I have just finished The Realmslayer Audio Book.

Let's take a look.

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..

Terrain Build: Building More Fantasy Terrain

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

Picture this way...

Battle Report: Triumph & Treachery Dwarfs vs Orks Vs Chaos

Saturday night saw myself, Alister and Riot play a three way game of Triumph & Treachery.

Alister would be running out his Orks , Riot his Chaos Warriors and myself brought the Dwarfs.

 We decided to use the saw army lists that were used at Riot Ville Live.

We set up and Chaos draws first turn...

Riot Ville Live 2020 Part 2

After lunch it all kicked off again with game 3..

Riot Ville Live 2020 Part 1

This past Sunday Riot Ville Live 2020 came to town with a whole day of Warhammer Fantasy 8th Edition.

Players turned up with their armies ready to roll dice.

Skaven vs Dwarfs Riot Ville Live 2020 Practice.

This Sunday sees Riot Ville Live 2020 a whole day full of Warhammer Fantasy.
Over the past few weeks we have been all playing a lot to get to grips with rules again and to get lists together.
Saturday saw Phil and I throw down a classic conflict of Skaven vs Dwarfs. 

I had not had the pleasure (or should I say pain) facing Skaven and Phil decided to dust of his rats for a change as he has been playing Empire which he plans to use for Riot Ville.

Half Term Trip To Newcastle and Hobby Up Date.

It been a busy week for me not only due to getting time to do some more hobby related stuff but I also traveled up to Newcastle and as I was there I checked out the local hobby community.

Christmas Warhammer Fantasy: Triumph & Treachery

After the previous 3 games we all decided to have a game of Triumph and Treachery...

Lano was starting to feel the effects of his weekend away and decided to sit out leaving the remaining armies of Chaos, Ogres, Dwarfs and Empire armies to make deals and back stab one another.

Lets get set up..

More Christmas Warhammer Fantasy.. The Desolation of Solland

The date was set Riot put out the call and 6 of us turned up to Riots gaming arena to play a full day of Warhammer Fantasy.

We were all required to make 3 lists at 1000, 1500 and 1800 with our leader going up in levels with each list.

I took Dwarfs, Riot Warriors of Chaos, Lee and Phil took Empire, Lano Elves's and Mike 2.0 took Ogres.

Game on...

Christmas Presents, Hobby Room Sorting and Shadespire..

Happy New Year!

I hope you all had a great Christmas this year and Santa bought you all the miniature goodness you wanted!

So what I have I been up too..

Display Your Miniatures The Hobby Craft Display Dome.

Over the weekend I stopped in Hobby craft as you do and stumbled upon these on the Christmas section in the store..

Then it hit me I thought theses would be perfect to display some of my miniatures.

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 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!

Mantic Terrain Crate: Kings Of War Vanguard Objectives

Mantic Games have recently been updating their terrain range with Terrain Crate their new affordable plastic pre assembled terrain range.

As Vanguard launched Mantic have created through Terrain Crate 14 objectives and tokens which tie in with the scenarios in the Vanguard rule book.

As readers of this blog maybe aware I love terrain and have done a few projects with Mantic terrain in the past so I could not resist picking these objectives when I was at Mantic HQ.

So lets take look inside the box.

Hobby Resolutions Part 3
