For me, it seems an age since I last posted here. Although I sit at my computer each night and review my blog roll, following along with what people are doing; or sit on the bus on the way to and from work reading Dakka or trying my hand at this new fangled Twitter thing; I have been less than productive when it comes to being 'present' in the community. And at the heart of it, that's what this blogging lark is meant to be about - building my own corner of the community, and engaging with the rest of it.
Tonight, I left comments on two blogs where I made reference to 'community'. It struck me I can't talk about it if I'm not living it. So I says to myself, you'd best boil the kettle and get some photos of what's on your desk, and fire off a new post.

What's on my desk right now (and for the last two months) |
![]() |
Terminator Sergeant - I'll revisit that power sword at some point and make it look more "power'y" |
![]() |
WIP Terminators |
![]() |
Various Captains, Chapter Masters and Big G Himself |
![]() |
The Ancients of the Chapter - I have a Leviathan in the post, and am thinking of doing up a Librarian one to offset the Chaplain one - you can never have to many Dreadnaughts |
![]() |
WIP Custodes - who knew gold would be so off-putting - I'm thinking of adding some colour to those pads |

Pringles terrain for the win |
![]() |
Cider terrain is just as good |

Ohhh, big Pringles - even more win |
Cheers all and merry hobby to you,
Liam
Good stuff, man! Loving that terrain, and the smurfs are looking great! :)
ReplyDeleteCheers Mord. Seeing you churn out the Sons is really acting to spur me on.
DeleteWell circumstance tends to rear it's ugly bonce and fuck up the best laid plans where gaming plans are concerned. Sucky that you missed out on the Armageddon game, but at least you've been painting and building "something". And thus far it all looks great mate!
ReplyDeleteThise new terrain pieces are my favs in this post and finally give me some ideas for my long-stored pile of empty tinnies and snack-tubs! :)
Ha. Terrain building is something relatively easy to do and yet something a lot of hobby peeps put off. I learned a lot by doing this bunch that i will apply to improve the next batch when i start another group. I want to be a bit more ambitious and try my hand at some multi level industrial pieces.
DeleteWhat a cracking post. Sometimes things get in the way and the weeks and months slip by, but the quality of your painting more than makes up for any dry spells. Seriously, those are more than 'Eavy Metal worthy (particularly that Sergeant). I'd love to ask something specific to give you something to respond to but I wouldn't even know what to ask.
ReplyDeleteI think Pringles tins were invented just to give wargamers something out of which they could knock silos together. That cider tin is a nice idea too, I haven't tried that.
Cheers Col. i appreciate The kind words.
DeleteThe cider one left me stumped as one end is ok in its 'raw' form but the drinking end needed to be filled in. Filling it did give me somewhere to add some bits too to make a focal spot.
That so sucked missing that game. We should have a crack at a big appoc style game between us if we don't find another one in the next 2 months.
ReplyDeleteAlso wanna try a renegade knight game and a game of this new shadow war. Got a groovy kill team up your sleeve?
The terrain is looking great mate.
