Going through the illustrations in my brother's rule books and white dwarf magazines, page after page, was a favorite childhood past time of mine. Eventually, the miniatures would grow to become of bigger focus - although, I could never bring myself to get a full army painted and playable.
Fast forward to 2017 and the creators of Warhammer ended it's story by adding an apocalypse to the plot to make room for another world, Age of Sigmar. My eldest brother, Matt, and I anguished over the destruction of our beloved childhood world.
Seeing the rise of Age of Sigmar, my brother decided to start a Warhammer Fantasy 8th Edition Club. He bought a load of High Elf miniatures for me to add to my tiny collection in order to get me into fighting shape. Many of them being "oldhammer", miniatures made from older metal material as he knew I had a preference for the classic style and humor.
It all started with the two of us adapting the Tears of Isha campaign, which took nearly a year to complete due to work schedules(bleugh) and life. A campaign, in which, I was soundly defeated due to..... well, a poor gamble I had made early on.
Now, we're here in 2019 and most of my miniatures are still left unpainted. So, the creation of this blog's goal is to motivate me to paint one miniature, or create one hobby related drawing every single day. The eventual goal is to get all these tiny soldiers painted.
Currently, I'm re-starting a project - making my Squat Gang for Necromunda. A project that started back in my early college days.
Pardon the poor lighting:
The center Dwarf is my latest in painting and construction, those in the back are two early attempts.
Bodies were the plastic Dwarf Thunderers.
A Christmas gift from my girlfriend, a couple squats from Uscarl Miniatures
This guy was made and painted around the time of the first two squats. I'm not really sure what my plan was for him. He could really use a repaint.....
