  • The Nova Albions Roll Out

    The Nova Albions Roll Out

    Amidst some intense Black Friday shopping to get gifts for family and friends I managed to scrounge enough time to finish the tanks for Nova Albions. And with all four tanks finished the Nova Albions can now roll out and a project almost 11 months in the making is now complete. But I am getting…

  • Yo Ho A Pirate’s Life for Me

    Yo Ho A Pirate’s Life for Me

    Now that I am fully back into the minipainting swing of things I decided to take a little detour and work on a commission that a local D&D DM had given me to work on. I had done a previous job for him which was a pirate beholder that he seemed pleased with and thus…

  • All Out War Pt.3: The Infantry Take To The Field

    All Out War Pt.3: The Infantry Take To The Field

    June was a pretty bad month for me as a kidney stone added a layer of pain and discomfort to everything I did. There were still a few days where I was able to get some meaningful hobby work done and after my medical malady had passed I was able to make a last ditch…

  • All Out War Pt 2.5: Mustering is Slow Business

    All Out War Pt 2.5: Mustering is Slow Business

    So the muster of the Nova Albions is slow going but going nonetheless. So I figured I would pop in and give a quick update on how that little project is doing. Thankfully, the work I put in at the beginning with the scheme has made it so that the short bursts of painting I…

  • All Out War Pt.2: The Commissariat Have Arrived

    All Out War Pt.2: The Commissariat Have Arrived

    Painting has come only in short bursts for me as I try to not burn myself out on the hobby. Luckily for me the All Out War challenge on the minipainting discord has been doing well; so well that the mods decided to throw us a bone and make the March challenge a little easier.…

  • Hobby Progress: Outrider Squad Numero Dos

    Hobby Progress: Outrider Squad Numero Dos

    After I finished the Eradicators I went straight to work on my second Outrider squad but not because I needed it for my Dark Angels army. I started working on them because they were starting to really annoy me. I had bought them as loose sprues from an Indomitus set that was being sold piecemeal…

  • Hobby Progress: DA Eradicators

    Hobby Progress: DA Eradicators

    So November (and most of December)came and went without anything happening on this piece of internet real estate but despite the many trials and tribulations work has wrought upon me in that time I made sure to keep my hobby mojo going and I plan to start the new year strong. In regards to my…

  • Hobby Progress: Indomitus Outriders

    Hobby Progress: Indomitus Outriders

    Painting black is one of those colors that may seem easy but in actuality it’s quite difficult to pull off well if you don’t have a solid understanding of color theory and light. One problem lies in the fact that as far as light is concerned black should only be reserved for your deepest shadows,…

  • Hobby Progress: Dark Angel Infiltrators

    Hobby Progress: Dark Angel Infiltrators

    Despite my recent lack of activity I can assure that I am still quite alive and active. I have several articles in the pipeline ready to go as I plan to close out 2020 strong. That being said I have a lot of things to say about these infiltrators, both good and bad. This project…
