The ‘Eavy Archive – Painting Library and Recipes
On occasion I come across a website that makes me sit up and go “how have I missed this?” and those were the words I uttered when first came across ‘Eavy Archive.

#52wkhobby – Week 11 – Scenery and Skeletons
And 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” […]
Continue Reading#52wkhobby – Week 5 – Deathrattle Skeletons
I 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 […]

#52wkhobby – Week 4 – Deathrattle Skeletons
So week 4 has come and flown past in a flurry of bones as I’ve worked on the Deathrattle Skeletons horde for my Death army, with the aim of fielding them as part of a new Death army I’d like to run in a tournament the beginning of March. Because I’m pretty tight on time, I decided […]

The second week of #52wkhobby has flown past and my Bloodthirster is almost complete. I did have an unplanned diversion though and started playing with some Deathrattle Skeletons… Apologies on the slight delay on getting this post up, I wanted to pop up a photo of the wings and it took me an age to take […]

Armies on Parade 2016 – 6th Place!
On the 15th October was Armies on Parade 2016 and I took the plunge and entered my Khorne Bloodbound into the Swindon Warhammer store. I didn’t place for a medal but did get 6th place out of 15 entries which I’m fairly chuffed about. Armies on Parade 2016 Having never been to an Armies on Parade event before I […]

Painting up the Citadel Realm of Battle Boards
As I planned a few weeks back, I took a small hiatus from my Slaughterpriests and put some work into my Realm of Battle boards. I’ve had these boards for at least five years now and have had to contend with models slipping and sliding all over the place when I’ve used them to game […]
Continue ReadingAge of Sigmar Generals Handbook and Goretide Progress
Well that’s another week gone and we’re now past the longest day and almost half way through the year. It’s been a pretty crazy year so far in the real world and the hobby world has been an exciting one too and not showing any signs of letting up with things like the Age of […]
Continue ReadingSpace Wolves Dreadnoughts Kit Bashing
I seem to have hit a bit of a ‘bloggers block’ recently, so have decided to write about the couple of Space Wolves Dreadnoughts that I’m currently kit bashing. I think this must be the forth attempt to write this post over the past couple of weeks as my earlier attempts were just creating posts […]
Continue ReadingIt’s Wulfen (Thunder) Hammer Time
The last week has been exceptionally busy in the “real world”, so this and a little lack of enthusiasm on my part has meant that the amount of hobby achieved has sadly been fairly low. I have managed to finish the Thunder Hammer on my Wulfen wielding that and Storm Shield. I chose a blue steel […]

I’m pleased to say that my Wulfen should be bounding across the tabletop this weekend

Week 4 #GWfor52 progress on my mechanicum knights and how the 52 week challenge is keeping me moticated
Continue ReadingCherries and Candies
I’m starting to enjoy this 52 week challenge! Week 3’s targets have been comfortably achieved and I’ve done a few other bits to boot! Firstly I’ve created myself a Twitter account. Although I’m generally against “personal” Twitter accounts where people post up the fact they’ve just made a sandwich or gone to the toilet, I […]
Continue ReadingWeek 2 Challenge – Walk Upon the Cracked Earth!
I have a somewhat smug feeling currently having quite comfortably completed my Week 2 goals! All three Imperial Knights chassis/skeletons have been finished as far as I can without the armour plates in place. On top of this I’ve managed to magnetise the rocket pod onto the back of one of the carapaces. I ended […]

Keeping motivated is probably one of the biggest challenges people face in most walks of life. For somebody like myself (and likely you) who paints and models, it’s very easy to get distracted by a new iOS game (I’m looking at you Freeblade), long running favourite game (Elite Dangerous for me) or other real life […]
Continue ReadingHappy New 2016!
Well the festive season came and went in a blur. Sadly a combination of having to work between Christmas and New Year and various family commitments has meant two “missed” blog Sundays and a reduction in general painting time, but such things happen. In an effort to rectify this I will be doing a mid-week […]

Well it’s not quite a Sunday post, but it’s a post within a week and quite a long one at that 🙂 Firstly an up to date progress shot of my three Imperial Knights. As you can see (or not, the winter weather doesn’t make it easy to take a photo with a phone camera), the […]
Continue ReadingNot Quite Two Months
Well the last post wasn’t quite two months ago but not too far off. Life is roughly the same, I’m still working very long hours but managing to get a bit of painting done most evenings. I’m continuing to focus on my Space Wolves and this has started to pay off (although it’s really tempting […]
Continue ReadingAnother long gap
I can’t believe it was March when I last wrote a post. You may recall that I was starting a new job and may also have guessed that this has been in some way related to the lack of posts – you’d be correct in that guess 🙂 I’m leaving home before 7am and not getting back until […]
Continue ReadingTime for fake tan
Although getting up earlier doesn’t appear to be getting any easier, I am ploughing through my ‘Wolves at quite a rate. The pack markings have been done, all of the bone elements and trinkets, black on the weapons and all the metallics. I’ve base coated and washed all of the ‘rope’/thong type bits that are […]
