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 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

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..

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.

Warhammer Underworlds Beastgrave

 A few weeks ago Beastgrave was released which I have been really looking forward to.

The Box set arrived and I got to work building the two teams.

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.

More Khador Winter Guard

So I have been a bit busy these past weeks but fear not I have some reviews and projects in the pipe line..
Now going through some old pictures I completely forgot that I painted another full unit of Khador Winter Guard not to long ago.

I painted these as there were just sitting there and thought why not paint a unit from a game I have played in a while.
These pictures were taken before my new camera set up which goes to show how much better my new camera is.

I went to work by painting and basing the UA and Rockets on a bit of cork and set to work painting these grey and red so they would not get mixed up with my other Winter Guard unit.

A few hours later they were done.

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!

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

Santa Came And Board Game Festive fun with Scythe.

Well I hope you had a great Christmas.

I must have been a good boy this year to get all of these gaming goodies this year.
