Holding Post

It’s 5 years late, but I’m going to attempt to get things running on here with some new content and such like.  The first thing that I’ve done is to archive off the entirety of the old content into an Archive area.  That means the home page will only contain lovely fresh articles.  All of the old content will still be available within the Categories and Archive navigation drop downs though 😊

On the subject of categories, I’ve heavily paired down the old categories and gone for a more simplistic Game System based approach.

The theme is pretty basic currently, if anyone has any suggestions on a decent theme, please feel free to let me know!

An update on the last crazy five months!

Summary of a Crazy Five MonthsThought I was well overdue to do a catch-up post on what a crazy five months I’ve had since the last time I wrote anything. Without a doubt, this year has been one of the best hobby years I’ve had in over 25 years and I’ve achieved things that I wouldn’t have even believed possible. Sadly, one thing that has lost out is this blog, I started off really well but limited time and the despicable “real world” have kicked me in the nuts for getting anything new written. Thankfully the rest of the year does seem like it should be quieter – though time will tell!

So, let’s do a catch up on what I’ve been up to over the Crazy Five Months

Tutorial: Magnetising Knight Armiger Weapons

The Imperial Knight Armiger is the smallest addition to the Imperial Knight family.  As with it’s bigger brother, future weapon variations are highly likely, so I’ve created this tutorial detailing how to magnetising Knight Armiger weapon arms.

#52wkhobby – Week 12 – Watchtower & a little break

Warhammer Age of Sigmar WatchtowerI had a bit of a realisation on the weekend as I was finishing off my Watchtower over the weekend that I’d really been pushing myself to churn models out since Christmas, already clocking in well over 200 hours worth of hobby so far.  That’s pretty insane so this week I’m taking a little break and going “hobby light” with the focus being a bit of long overdue edge highlighting on 3 Mighty Skullcrushers.

This also means that on Saturday my hobby desk should be pretty clear for when the new Forgebane boxed set arrives.  My intention is to assemble everything in the box, so I don’t need to find somewhere to store it (and ultimately not touch it for months).

Tutorial – Painting Scenery – Drystone Walls

Tutorial - Painting Scenery - Age of Sigmar Walls Welcome to my first Painting Scenery Tutorial, this tutorial will focus on painting walls or brickwork in a fairly natural grey stone effect.  Ideal for painting drystone walls or similar pieces of scenery.

I hadn’t actually thought of writing a tutorial for this so unfortunately I’ve only got a picture of the finished wall pieces.  However the steps are pretty straightforward so hopefully you can follow them through.

#52wkhobby – Week 11 – Scenery and Skeletons

Neferata Mortarch of BloodAnd another three weeks have vanished but I’ve clocked up a whopping 89 hours worth of hobby!  Project wise I’ve finished my Legions of Nagash army and now taking a break by painting up some old Warhammer scenery pieces that I’ve had for ages.  Since my last post, we’ve had the “Beast from the East” sweep across the UK, bringing Siberian temperatures which promptly dumped down substantial quantities of snow.  Sadly one of the casualties of this freak weather was the Age of Sigmar Open Day which was cancelled (but will be re-scheduled) and due to the poor travel conditions also meant that I wasn’t able to get to the Season of Sowing tournament up at Warhammer World.  Very sad that we had to make that call, but it was a case of better safe than sorry.  I still got to give my Legion of Nagash an outing with a three-way game on Monday 5th, so it wasn’t a complete loss.

#52wkhobby – Week 8 – Nagadron!

Nagadron, Dread Abyssal of NeferataWell the last three weeks have flown past in a flurry of hobby.  I’m pleased to say that I’ve clocked in over 64 hours and well underway on Nagadron, Neferata’s Dread Abyssal.

Because there has been a few weeks since my last post, I’ll go over my last lot of hobby targets and what I’ve managed to get done in addition, suffice to say I feel more confident that I’ll get everything painted in time for the event in ten days time.

#52wkhobby – Week 5 – Deathrattle Skeletons

Deathrattle Skeletons WIPI may have underestimated quite how much time 60 Deathrattle Skeletons were going to take to pick out the belts and random bits of cloth and other details that festoon these models!

I’ve managed to clock up a massive 27 hours this past week, despite not having much time over the weekend.  What I have manage to achieve though will allow me to field the three units of Deathrattle Skeletons on the tabletop once I’ve done the bases (and shields), so although I was hoping to be further forward, I’m not as far behind as I almost was.  Most importantly it means I can park the Deathrattle Skeletons for the time being and move my focus onto the other 1060 points I need to paint up!

Legions of Nagash Warscroll Leaks (Updated)

Legions of Nagash BattletomeIf you’re an Age of Sigmar Death player, you won’t have failed to notice that we’ve a new Battletome on our way – Legions of Nagash!  We’ve started to get a few leaks of the warscrolls that we’re going to see, so I’ve created this post to collate them together.  Most have come from DakkaDakka (via TGA) and aren’t the best quality – as they improve I’ll update the images here.

Update – Now includes the majority of warscrolls
