Blog discription

What will you find here? Ramblings from an aging gamer-miniature painter. When I first started out in this hobby computers were in their infancy and finding other gamers could only be done by going to conventions or as in my case bumping into somebody who happened to see me reading "Panzer Leader" on the school bus. Look how far we have come! The internet has allowed our small community to be able to connect on a level I never dreamed of when I was but a small lad. What I do hope you will find here is something interesting from one wargamer/miniature painter to another. I paint miniatures somewhat decently, so I will be posting some pictures of my work, and perhaps a review or two of games and/or miniatures. Most of all this is just about having fun and anything I post here is meant to be for that reason.

Deathwing Terminators for Space Hulk making progress

I was like man these guys are going to be easy. All of them the same color, a few details.... then reality struck when I actually started painting these little boogers. What a pain in my... ahem, well you get the point. I must be the slowest painter in the world, at least I think I am. I know there are dudes out there that could finish five in a heartbeat and be painted better to boot! But at least I am trying. I couldn't paint all five at the same time, so I dropped it to three, and then to one. I just had to see a finished product before I moved on. I like them, so I will keep moving on. So here is my first one, which is waiting for the bases I ordered. Supposed to come in the mail today. Oh and that brings me to another point, it feels like Games Workshop figures are getting bigger, or their bases are. The 40mm bases that come with them are way to big to use in a Space Hulk game so I had to order 30mm ones. Any ways I hope you enjoy my photos.

Cheers
Kevin

      Thank you Henrik, means a lot. I actually hated what I was doing until I completed it, then it was wow this isn't too bad. Still I have much room for improvement.

      Yes sir I have, but I see my comment here was lost in translation. I should have been more clear. I meant it was good to hear from you on my blog;) I believe it is your first post here. It was very much appreciated sir.

      Cheers
