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.

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: 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.

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.

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 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: Gorkamorka Terrain

 I was having a little look on Ebay the other day and came across this auction for the rule set for Gorkamorka which had some of the old school cardboard terrain which was around during the 90s

I never got to play the game at the time but who can resist that iconic artwork?

As it is Orktober after all and  I put a bid in and..... I won it...

Warhammer Fantasy: Blood In The Badlands Part 9

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

Picture this way...

To the game.

Terrain Build: Undead Hill

 This week I got a bit of a terrain bug and decided to make a new terrain/diorama piece for games and for any miniature pictures.

A few years ago I made a backdrop for my pictures which you can see how I made here but I wanted to go with some hight and a differnt theme this time so decided on making an undead hill.

This is how I made it.

Warhammer Fantasy: Blood In The Badlands Part 6
