So I've tried to blog about my miniature addiction a few times and always found myself getting too busy and dropping the hobby for awhile. However, this always occurred close to the end of a semester at University, and since I just graduated I don't think that will be an issue anymore. However, my wife is due in a month and a half with our first child so who knows what will happen. Regardless of the future, I'm going to try again and see if I can blog for as long as possible this team. Maybe I'll even be able to get a few followers, or develop a community with some of the many blogs that I read on a daily basis. We'll see I suppose.
As a way of introduction, I have been collecting and playing Warhammer for over a decade now and started way back in the days of glorious 3rd edition with DIY Space Marine Chapter called the "Blazing Fists". After a few years of the Space Marines I switched over to Eldar and have been playing them for the past 6 or 7 years. I really started to collect them when the first Apocalypse came out and so I have a lot of multiples (like 4 old-school metal Fire Prisms still in their shrink wrap). Recently I branched out a bit with a small force of Dark Eldar, a few Tau models, and at Adepticon this year I bought my first Forgeworld purchases in the form of HH Marines and Death Korps of Krieg.
I also recently purchased an airbrush and as this picture can show you I've started the learning curve! I really enjoy airbrushing so far but it is definitely a hard technique. I have a Badger Patriot 105 now and last night I impulse bought the Badger Air-Brush Co Sotar 2020-2F Large Gravity Feed Airbrush with Fine Head for 90% off. My wife wasn't too happy this morning when I told her but she understands my addiction and it was less than $50 so it was all good. I got the airbrush to quickly paint light colors so I'm hoping to use it on some Imperial Fists and Alpha Legion. We'll see how it turns out especially since the 2020 is supposed to allow me to do clean lines for shading.
This blog, for now, will likely chronicle a lot of my painting attempts, maybe some list building, and model building. I wish I was better at conversions and green stuff but maybe that's the next part of the hobby I'll try! Unfortunately the local seen for warhammer playing is quite dry but there is a tournament coming up next month I might try to play in. We'll see.
For my next post I'll talk about the name of the blog, some of the background on my armies, and maybe any updates on painting exploits. We'll also see I can take some good photos but for a little while at least it's gonna be iphone photos.
