Recently I was chatting with a good friend of mine, and he was regaling me with stories about this interesting idea he had for a sci-fi skirmish game, it was something quite different to the many games already out there, and the background he has…
Adepticon! Yep, I’m really going to try to make it this year. I wanted to go last year, but didn’t think anyone else was interested. After the event, I found out Dave went and I was really bummed that I hadn’t said anything. We’re making plans to go th…
Anyone ready to suggest a name for my Lamenters Furioso? And yes, I still have to add the pools and splashes of blood and gore.Well, I took a look back at my goals for my hobbying in 2012. Some of them were achieved, some of them were not (more th…
2012 is gone and what do I have to show for it? A few extra pounds (and not the good British kind, the bad other kind) and not much else. All my grand plans, and nothing to show for them. Sigh…Well, that’s not going to fly in 2013. I’m through with m…
Yes, the Dreadnought is almost finished, more shots in the next post.Well, as f today, this blog has reached the grand old age of FOUR! I can scarcely believe it. It has certainly been a fun ride, and I’m sure she has many more years left in her. …
I hope you’ll indulge me a little, in this post with no toy soldiers.The end of the calendar year is laden with tradition. Some folks celebrate various holidays, while others choose not to, but regardless of how you do it, you probably have a few thing…
Two more Tactical Marines finished since my last update. I’ve been working away diligently on them, along with three other projects that will eventually see the light of day on this blog or another. I’m pretty happy with the consistency I’ve been able …
Well I played my second game of 6th Edition tonight, and boy what a game! I was up against my friend Jordan and his Dark Angels (just before he packs up and moves his family across country). I took the same list as my first game (no sense in confusing …
You know, I don’t talk much about my gaming. That’s mainly because I don’t do much of it at all. But last night I played my first game of the new edition of 40K… and I quite enjoyed it.I cobbled together 1,000 points of Lamenters and threw down again…
There have been a lot of miniature wargames-based campaigns launching on Kickstarter recently, and it has been very interesting to watch things tick along.As someone who has worked in the “toy soldier biz” for the past two decades, I’m well aware of th…
As stated in a previous post, I’ve been mulling the idea of changing my focus from strictly Epic to a more generalized Specialist Games view. I’ve been kicking around the idea for some time, but it really became relevant when one of the guys in the gam…
I’m currently neck-deep in the spearmen and knights for my Procession of Morr army. I’d take a few minutes to take photos of their progress, but that would take valuable time away from the actual painting of the models. With summer upon us here in Balt…
While my lights are galavanting around Illinois in the back of a truck, I’m kind of left to ramble on about my recent hobby thoughts. Hopefully by this time next week I’ll have my lights back and I’ll snap some photos of my ongoing projects and save yo…
And so another few days whips by leaving me wondering “Where is the time going?” The answer is, of course, to my family… and extra sleep. It has been an interesting six weeks since my second daughter was born, and I’m starting to learn a few things t…
Ghazgkull Thraka vs Commissar Yarrick (painted by Mathieu Fontaine and Kirill Zhilkov respectively)Well, it would seem that “happy” has been the intro to my last three posts (Holidays, New Year, and blog birthday). It has certainly been a happy ti…
Just a quickie to wish all my friends and family around the world a very happy (and safe) New Year’s celebration, and a wonderful 2012 full of all the things that make you happy.I’ll be back around the 3rd or 4th of January for a “blog birthday” post a…
This time of year is for spending extra quality time with friends and family, wherever they may be.To all of you who have shared with me on this blog during 2011, I wish you happiness and fun hobbying throughout this holiday season and 2012! Cheer…
Thank you to all of you who congratulated my family on our new addition. Things have been crazy hectic, as we now have two youngsters to feed, clean, and entertain. I’m sure that without the help of my mother (visiting from the other side of the world)…
Gotta love that smile In one of the comments, a reader asked me how I find the time for my hobby, family, friends, and work (and presumably blogging). Sometimes I wonder how I do myself. I thought a bit more about it, and realized that it isn’t re…
I fail at blogspot post publishing scheduling. The last post (about the face off) was supposed to roll on out at about 10am yesterday morning, right about when I’ve just gotten my first work coffee break and sat down with a fresh mug. In…
…move along, move along.
This post is singularly lacking in all things Warhammer. Instead, it’s what I’ve been up to for the last few months (i.e. not posting here). If not warhammer = not interested, you’re free to stop reading.
Road Trip
I s…
Marines from Khurasan, APC from Konami and (unpainted) mat from Zuzzy.Hello everyone!Yes, it’s been a bit quiet here recently. I think it’s a case of summer catching up with both me and my gaming buddies. The last couple of weeks have been very quiet g…
Random hair-pulling image stolen from the internets.I’m very sorry I haven’t posted this already, but it has been a busy time these past few days. In addition to several quick work trips to photograph cool gaming tables, co-ordinating the final element…
I’m not sure if your hobby time gets filled up as quickly as mine, but I know that sometimes I take on a bit too much. I make commitments to projects, to others, and to myself. I sometimes feel overwhelmed. Typically I just cut back on sleep, but right…
