7th Continent – A.D.D. strikes
Well I\’ve been doing a ton of hopping from project to project of late. It\’s not all by choice as I\’ve been travelling a fair amount and had to be selective in what I take to paint. One of the main things I want to work on over the next few weeks is a display…

Thanksgiving
Warning – a bit of swearing in this one. Well I have been pretty quiet this month, as I often seem to be when I travel. I have not been idle and I have a few half formed posts waiting on projects to be finished but this post is not going to be about miniatures…

Say Hi to the Big Guys
Painting has progressed fairly well before I was struck down with a rather unpleasant case of food poisoning. The result has been stalling out on the work and not being able to complete my Chaos Pact team before leaving for the US. I have, however, got a few photos from before I caved to illness:…

Forming a pact with a bunch of Chaos Renegades? It must be Blood Bowl!
I\’ve been grinding through my Space Hulk minis at a steady pace. I now have 5 of the 11 termies ready for some final airbrushing… and an airbrush that should work… So clearly now is the perfect time to totally change the focus of my efforts to Blood Bowl! (Yes more Blood Bowl). What\’s triggered…

Brother Deino enters
The Process Basecoats: Cloth painted: Parchment and Bone: Metals: This sketchy style for the bolter is really not an effect I intended to produce but I do rather like it. What are your thoughts? I also recently watched an alternative method of doing red. I like the idea of zenithal highlighting with pink instead of…

Having painted up Brother Claudio, I next moved on to Sergeant Gideon. Basecoats applied for all areas with Gideon\’s head painted up.Next the gold was polished a little and the parchment/bone pieces were done. I am going to deep dive into the colours that I am using here as I neglected to do that in…

Goals
I am a big fan of Tabletop Minions. Uncle Atom has a lot of videos with really interesting topics and some great advice. Recently I watched a newer video about goals, which reminded me of the videos he posted about finding your motivation that really helped me get back into the painting hobby. For those…

Jason of the Argonauts
A while ago I got into a DnD campaign with some friends down the FLGS in Mountain View. Dorn Blackman, warrior and son of a blacksmith was my character and motivated me to finally paint up the Jason of the Argonauts model from Salute 2013. Of course with the move back to London and the…

Making the Pilgrammage (Picture heavy)
I think for many Games Workshop gamers, the idea of visiting Warhammer World is a little like children going to Disneyland (or Legoland in my case). It seems like a magical place full of the best gaming tables, the world class tournaments, exclusive goodies and of course the ForgeWorld Store. I had been once before…
