My Lamp Died!

Simply as said my hobby lamp has died. It just flickers now.  I'm looking for a replacement lamp, it must be daylight and it must be cheapish.  Anyone got any ideas?

A decade of Beards and Ale

My current dwarf army

As you might have guessed from the multitude of posts with them in, I am a dwarf player.  I have been one just just over a decade, they were my very first army and introduction into the Warhammer hobby.  I am looking to expand my army this year, but I thought I'd have a look back at why I started them and where I intend to go from here.  So if you dislike ale and beards (GODS FORBID IT!), you might not like to read on.

Secret Santa Project complete.

All that was required was a base, but this guy is done.  Just awaiting a package and the New Year.

2012 – The Year of Beards

Another year has slowly sailed on by, leaving us to do the trend of looking back over our year in the hobby and discuss.  So, I’m going to do just that.

Boardgames - I LOVE THEM!

My dream one day...

This isn't something that I have chatted on extensively on my blog, it has usually been exclusively for my miniature gaming hobby (or in my case, painting).  However, I am a HUGE boardgaming fan.  I love boardgames, in many cases if offered play one with my friends or doing almost anything else, the games win it each time.

Secret Santa: Necromancer

So, entering into the later stages of December I have had to push myself to finish this guy off.  I just have the base to complete now and he is ready to be sent off to a fellow forum member.

The book I really happy with, perhaps the little sketches could have been done a little better but the worn look I think works really well.  You can see it better in the second photo.

The skull top does look a little bland but is better in person.  It's an old GW skull and seems to lack much definition.

I'm still really happy with the red, turned out well despite almost being purple.

Hopefully before the New Year I'll have this guy done and then sent off.

Display time!

I have finally got my display cabinet sorted!  It has only been about three months, but finally I can get the dwarfs out for display.  This is all the dwarfs I have painted and based for the new look dwarf army.  I have also put on the top shelf the random minis I have painted and have with me (there are still some at the parents or need some repainting).
