Back into the Fray

So its been a long time since I actively blogged as I have had a lot going on. Moved states, had a second kid, life got busy enough that at one point I didn't touch my games for what felt like an entire year. I am now back into it and I have really been painting a massive amount lately, particularly commission painting. I had even started up a second blog here: https://imightbeabitcrazy.blogspot.com/. I will not be continuing with that blog but I will be continuing here. I will start to share all my current works once they are done but here is an update on current games and projects:

Age of Sigmar: I had originally started this up with Tomb Kings before they discontinued the line, so I switched to Sylvaneth but I sold them all since I was not playing the game and didn't make time to paint them. I had heavily customized multiple models, however and it really opened up my skill level to army modding. I have now picked up the Idoneth Deepkin book but have no models. I will update as I gain more of those and get them painted. It will be some time as this is more of a hobby/fun project than most everything else so I am not in a rush.

Warhammer 40k: So I had sold off my Tyranids a long while back to a good friend of mine (http://www.ragnongaming.com/) and haven't touched the game since really. Well 8th edition has taken a good hold in my local game community and I decided to get back in as that very same friend is moving to town soon (yay! gaming buddies <3). This time I decided originally to do Necrons as they were my original army when I started wargaming, but I decided instead to pursue the hobby project I wanted to for years.. Samurai marines! That means I needed some heavily modded minis and custom parts. I decided to go with minis from Puppets War which I will share in a separate posta long with a review. I have also taken a model from Eden the Game so make my dreadnought conversion (super excited for that one). I am currently working to convert GW Thunderwolves into a sort of oni-wolf cavalry. And on that mention, I plan to be using space wolves as my core rules. The nice thing will be that As custom minis I can use them as multiple different factions including chaos if I want. It is a long term project that I will be doing a lot with.

Arena Rex: I still have my minis for Legio XIII but will be updating with models I have yet to paint. I sold my Morituri (which you can see on my other blog), but will likely be picking up another faction in the future.

Malifaux: So just a few months ago I went on a crazy Malifaux painting spree so I have a ton to update here and still a lot more to do :)

Wrath of Kings: I now own a set of Goritsi and Hakar but have not even played a game. They are on the back-burner but I love the models and will be painting them at some point. If I can get other people playing then even better.

Warhammer Shadespire: So I got into this game quite a bit and painted up a set of the Sepulchral Guard and Skaven. I will be both sharing my hobby photos of those as well as deck builds and tactics.

Guildball: I have recently been playing this a lot and even submitted my application to be a Pundit. I bought the Ratcatchers and have LOVED them both painting and playing. I will be making a couple posts about these guys. I have the new resin Obulous box coming in so I will be posting about that as well.

Warmachine and Hordes: I had gotten into Circle about a year ago just after the new edition came out but rage quite after trying to deal with the low quality of certain older minis of theirs that did not have nay new sculpts. I have officially dived back in with the Grymkin faction as they are all new minis and beautiful. I don't know how much I will play the game but will update on hobby progress.

Legend of the 5 Rings: So the living card game came out last year and I have dived deep into it. I will be sharing a post about my Scorpion deck but I have some other thoughts to share and decks to experiment and try out :)

Kickstarters: I have three coming in.. Village Attacks by Grimlord Games, a cooperative miniatures board game, The Other Side by Wyrd Miniatures, a competitive miniatures game, and The Edge: Dawnfall by Awaken Realms, a competitive miniatures game. All of these have a lot of minis for me to paint and I am super excited as one of them ships this month. I will be updating on gameplay and painting with all of these.

Commissions: I have really picked up on my commission work and will post the pieces as I work on them. Some are of lower quality that others but none the less they are current projects :P

That is my general update! I am back trying to get into full swing and have a lot to do! Stay tuned!
