Raggy Paints

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…

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…

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:…

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…

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…

Welcome to my 200th blog post!Using my last blog post, Goals, to spur me to action and get some more painting done. I\’ve pulled out the Termies from my Space Hulk box. Regular readers of the blog will know I\’ve been working on these chaps for a while. I did my test piece as an…

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…

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…

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…
