A Log of everything I've painted in the past few years to keep track of it all, and since i keep losing my paint schems to keep a note of these. Stuff done and currently working on: 30k Imperial Fists […]

In March 2020 I started to repaint my Nurgle armies, but then a real-life plague hit the world. And I lost the feel for painting a Scifi army that had become a historical army. So 18 months later I gave […]

Way back "in the day" I'd seen a BattleTech custom build that stuck in my head for Decades. I've finally obtained a 1/60 Locust that I finally have the techniques, resources and materials to build a Diorama of a Pirate […]

Legion has grown in popularity in my local meta and I've been a bit late jumping on the bandwagon. But now I'm here and kept myself to just the two factions! This project details those factions and a table build.

In this project I'll be taking my fledgling steps into Marvel Crisis Protocol. I'll be trying out some techniques and paints I've never used before. Wish me luck.

Unboxing of I am the law by warlord games

I painted up some of the Primaris troop options, and I've been playing games with them with my Ravenwing, and Deathwing, but I'm interested in trying without the cool unique Dark Angel units. So I'm adding some of the cool […]

A long long time ago someone boxed up all their stuff to go to University where they met me. Some of those boxes have never been opened, until today. Help me work out what everything was, what it would be […]

Like an awful lot of us I'm building a crew, shall we say a familiar theme to those who know me well.

This project will be a slow burn - one to savour - I suspect that choosing miniatures will be the bulk of the work (and fun!). I intend to source miniatures and terrain as the campaign progresses, hopefully a good […]

Even though I am a veteran of the Warhammer hobby I have been out of collecting 40K since the 8th edition dropped. I wanted to explore collecting again but with almost hitting reset. The Imperium magazine coming to the USA […]
