So it is no secret that I have been in a hobby slump for a long while now. There has barely been any activity on this blog for about a year and that’s due to several factors. The main factor is that I started a new job in a management role. It has been quite… Read More Road To Capital Palette 2025 Edition – Part 1: The Idea
So life continued to be a roller coaster after my last post with the techmarine. The new year brought with it an avalanche of work in my professional life which didn’t help my hobby slump one bit. However, there was a light at the end of the tunnel as the deadlines for my professional work… Read More And Now Some Deathwing Terminators
Life has been a rollercoaster these past few months, and while I’ll dive into those stories later, today I want to share the small bits of hobby progress I’ve managed to make this year. Let’s start with a long-overdue task: clearing my desk of unfinished projects. First up? A Primaris Techmarine conversion I started using… Read More Hobby Progress: Primaris Techmarine
In my every present journey to get back into the swing of things, I am trying to finish projects I had on my desk already. The first being a squad of Deathwing Terminators I started almost a year ago at this point, back when they were actually competitively viable. Now as much as I would… Read More Hobby Progress: Deathwing Terminators:
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
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. 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… Read More All Out War Pt.3: The Infantry Take To The Field
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… 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
