I mentioned in a previous post that one of my goals for the coming year is to get some Skaven done! I've had unpainted Skaven for years and, despite their classic, sprue-grey colour scheme, they saw a fair bit of play in 8th edition, back when I was fielding units of 100 or so Skaven… Continue reading New Year, New(ish) Army: Pestilens
I have played and collected Games Workshop games and miniatures since the mid-90s. Along the way, I've also picked up a number of miniatures from other companies. I have some Privateer Press, some Infinity, an Italian fleet for Dystopian Wars, a ton of Malifaux... I like miniatures. I like collecting them. I like playing with… Continue reading Realistic Expectations: Making a Dent in the Pile of Shame in 2020
We're nearly at the end of the year, commonly accepted as a time of reflection. In that spirit, and following a more general "best of" post last week, let's take a look at some of my favourite posts from this blog over the past year. Each post title will be followed by its featured image… Continue reading NoRerolls’ Best Posts of 2019
This weekend, I spent much of my time putting together some MDF buildings and accessories from TTCombat. I often sing the praises of TTCombat in the 5 on Friday segments, where I've frequently shared their new releases. The first item I spent some time on was their Yu Pagoda set, along with one of the… Continue reading A Weekend’s Building
It's been a long time since I've done any painting for 40K or Warhammer or... anything, really... I did some work on some Ariadna for Infinity about a year ago and another pile of Pink Horrors. I like Pink Horrors, but that was a LOT of pink to paint... Given that I am a slow,… Continue reading Starting a New Army: Adeptus Mechanicus
We spent the last few days in London. We came down for a family wedding but decided to stay on and explore a bit. We also had a couple of nice things booked. Oh, and I am the worst at taking photos, so lots of images from Google in this post... On the night we… Continue reading Holiday Hobbying: Part 2
Hallo! I am out and about at the moment, visiting family and re-engaging with (relatively) metropolitan life in the Central Belt of Scotland... Yeah, it's really confirming that I'm happier up beyond the wall. But it's still a nice change of scenery for a short time. In previous years I've brought too many games with… Continue reading Holiday Hobbying: Part 1
The week started with me missing the deadline for the latest round of painting for the club's slow-grow league. I was not surprised to miss the deadline - I usually do. I'm not doing well in keeping up with the timescales, but I'm happy with how the painting is going, overall. it's good for me!… Continue reading Hobby Update 05/08/18: Burn the Gooleyman!
There's not been much goin' on this week. As with last week, I have been visiting family, but I had a lot less hobby time this week. What time I did have was used for painting as I keep on keeping on with my Tzeentch Daemons. I've not been making quick progress up to now,… Continue reading Hobby Update 22/07/18: Red Wash Over Pink
I'm visiting family this week and have been out and about a fair bit. That said, I've had the chance for a bit of hobby time! First up was a lovely, 4-player game of Ticket to Ride. Specifically, we played the German edition of Ticket to Ride: Germany, Zug Um Zug: Deutschland. As with all… Continue reading Hobby Update 15/07/18: Zug Um Zug Um Zug Um Zug
