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… Read More The Nova Albions Roll Out
Long before I became a miniature painting enthusiast I have always suffered from gear acquisition syndrome to some degree. As I flit from one hobby to the other in an attempt to find something that fit me I would always acquire the newest shiniest toy in the naïve belief that having it would somehow further… Read More Gearhead Confessions: Raven Queen 75mm by Karol Rudyk
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… Read More Yo Ho A Pirate’s Life for Me
As time moves inexorably forward so does the mustering of the Nova Albions. As I begin to recoup my painting mojo after rough couple of months I tackle the All Out War Challenge with greater fervor than before. Early in July I tackled the heavy weapon teams by first scrounging around my bits to find… Read More All Out War Pt.4: We’re Gonna Need a Bigger Gun
June was a pretty bad month for me as a kidney stone added a layer of pain and discomfort to everything I did.

Thankfully, the work I put in at the beginning with the scheme has made it so that the short bursts of painting I… Read More All Out War Pt 2.5: Mustering is Slow Business
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.… Read More All Out War Pt.2: The Commissariat Have Arrived
I have been on a slight hiatus lately from painting and blogging as I’ve been in kind of a rut and just needed a change of pace. I still kept coming to my painting station in order to work on a couple of commissions here and there but overall I was focusing on other things… Read More The blog was good, but it can be better
It’s been a little while since my last entry here but that is only because I have some big things in the works that has been taking up a lot of my time. Hopefully come the end of March this blog is gonna have a bit of a makeover but for now let’s dive into… Read More All Out War Pt.1: The Nova Albions Begin To Muster
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… Read More Hobby Progress: Outrider Squad Numero Dos
