NEW YEAR RESOLVE

Happy new year folks!

I really don't feel a need to do a written recap of 2018 as it's pretty easy to survey the year by looking at archive to the right. It's only 9 posts all in all so a written summary feels rather superfluous...

Not to say I've been completely idle - I managed to partake in two big event games in Nottingham, finish a squat-themed Inq28 retinue, the beginnings of a Nighthaunt army, a primaris based deathwatch squad, a board and lots of terrain for Kill Team, and last, but certainly not least, the enormous Great Unclean one.

However, this year I'm resolved to be more productive than last year.

I kicked off 2019 by adding a new recruit to my long gestating mercenary gang. He doesn’t say much and admittedly keeps some weird habits - but he’s nice to have around in a gunfight.

This year will also see the calamitous Mordheim MMXIX event in Hel(l)sinki. More on that later on...

MORDHEIM MMXIX

2015 recap

While slowly digesting last nights humongous christmas dinner, I thought I'd look back on this years output of miniatures. 

In 2015 my hobby mojo have oscillated wildly and during the fall I took my first (and much needed) long break from modelling since the conception of this blog. 

Despite this almost three month hiatus I still managed to crank out a total of exactly 30 painted conversions (of which three are much bigger models than my usual fare). Not too shabby all things considered. 

The year started in the sign of papa Nurgle with a small chaos warband led by the ignominious Mawgut Gloop. It was a lot of fun going back to Warhammer Fantasy and taking cues from the old Realm of Chaos books. Later this year I also did a Tzeentchean champion. 

Unfortunately the Old World was rather unceremoniously killed off this summer - but that's another story...

Meanwhile in the world of the 41st millenium, the release of the Adeptus Mechanicus was the biggest event - and the stellar new kits have had a huge influence on most of my models with round bases. I've built a pretty large mechanicus warband (at least for inquisimunda) with two big robots, several smaller automatons, cyborgs, servitors and a rather nasty looking Magos. Recently I've started work on a Dark Mechanicvm gang dedicated to Nurgle (obviously my favourite chaos god) repurposing some older models and building new ones. 

The year started with Slaanesh and harlequins though with the three models I made for the Iron Sleet Invitational. I've also made a few non-mechanicus imperial servants and two Xenos (which was my original idea for the Iron Sleet project). 

 

The plan for next year include more fantasy as me Alexander and Erik AKA Nordic will play a few realm of chaos inspired in february using the new Chaos Champion Warband rules for Age of Sigmar. More mechanicvm of course - both loyalist and traitorous (and somewhere in between).

Then there's a big and exiting project soon to be announced...

And with that I bid you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Speaking of christmas I recieved a very special present from my buddy Kraut a few days ago.
