For the tournament I’m organizing in november I’m building up some terrain to supplement store’s terrain collection. Took a long time but first pieces are nearly done. Just need PVA/water mix sprayed over to ensure flock doesn’t get out that easily. Anyway most of the time was spent waiting for materials and of course there’s …

First week’s progress
So, the first week of the first month of the painting challenge has come and gone and what did I accomplish? Quite a bit actually! I now have my first five Galadhrim Warriors finished. Only 5 you say? Well, I got distracted by the call of Moria… I got a bunch of goblins from a …
[tneva82] Poisoned bows and sharp spears
So. Another faction got first models painted. Mumak taking so much time figured paint some infantry instead right away! Hoping to get mumak done this month as well 🙂 First up 6 bowmen. Can’t have Harad without some poisoned bows eh? Especially nasty with Betrayer to lead them though for that to be worth need …
[tneva82] Moria goblins rising in numbers
So. Officially started the tale of painters. Got already first warband nearly done. Just one bit beefier model from warband remains to be painted.

[tneva82] Isengard vs Rohan
Lack of painting updates doesn’t mean I haven’t painted anything, I just haven’t FINISHED anything. I have been getting lots of stuff nearly done but not quite done. And that Mumak…Also been building terrain but lack of flocks(on their way) prevents completing. And terrain making is surprisingly slow process as one needs to do lots …
[VainVader] One week to go, first batch primed
We have one week to go and I have already assembled and primed my force for the first month! I chose Rohan as my army, and this is what I chose. I was lazy and picked up some second-hand minis which needed minimum assembly and repair, so not an optimized force by any means. There …

Painting, reading and babysitting
Hi all, and welcome to the blog! My approach to this project is a bit different than the rest of the guys. Starting next month I’m on a 6 month parental leave with my almost one-year old toddler. After she was born and we decided when my stint as a stay-at-home dad would be, I …
