What a year in the hobby

As I had previously alluded to, I finished the Hobby Progress Challenge. In addition to that I had also worked like a mad man to finish off my Daemons for games. After the last minute push to complete the HPC,  I took a few days off from hobbying. But you see,  the thing is that I'm now in a routine of daily hobby. I work in construction,  then come home and I'm Dad to 3 kids 5 and under. I don't spend a lot of time sitting down. I have found that if I'm going to watch any TV,  it's either with the wife (0 hobby allowed) or watching Netflix while I paint.

Now,  with the HPC complete,  I wanted to get a shot of all the models that I have painted in the last 6 months. Add to that all the terrain that I've built in the last year,  I feel like I'm cruising through projects at a good rate. Some day soon I will bust out the entire Brazen Fists chapter so far abd get a picture of it.

For now,  it's back to messing around with Green Stuff and making gross looking Ogres.

HPC and some Nurgle Ogres

It's a travesty,  I know. 8 days without a new blog post. I am ashamed. I have been in full hobby mode. The ICs HPC finished on Sunday night at 11:59PM and I pushed it right down to the minute. Are all of the models 100% done? No, but they do look pretty good. I'm really happy with the progress on my army. Since June I have paintes another 2000pts of Brazen Fists, 3.5 gaming tables, and 1800pts of Daemons.

I will come back to the Scouts and Centurions, but for a few days I need a break. Painting every available minute, including waking up at 5am to hobby. A note on the scouts is that other than the sergeant, none of them have progressed to full Battle Brother status and therefore do not have a red glove

To take a break from the Marines, I started messing around with some Ogres and greenstuff. I've got bits in the mail and they should be here in a week or so. This is my first real attempt and seriously sculpting. It's going to take some learning.

Next up is a game for WEDNESDAY NIGHT WARHAMMER! And a game on Thursday Night as well. Once thoseare done the campaign can progress further.

Campaign Turn 8

Turn 8 is here. I received all of the orders in less than 3 hours. I'm impressed. People must be excited.

Turn 7 saw some interesting games,  4 of which resulted in Tabling. As per the scattered rules of the campaign,  those banners returned to their HQs. As alliances change and the Skaven/WoodElf contingent continues to press it's attack into Daemon territory,  we have a paltry 2 games to play. As the Daemon General,  I am still undecided as to how I will spread my advantages in the upcoming battles.

Also,  on my painting desk I have 6 Centurions. I am amazed at the size and detail of these models. I'm still not sure if I will have then done for the end of the month and the ICs HPC. I've got about 4 hrs in on then already and it hardly looks like I've done anything.
