So it has been an absurdly long time since I touched this blog.
Truth be told, it's been an absurdly long time since I've been involved with the miniatures gaming community.
Sure, I dabbled and painted and played... but only played around 5 or 6 games a year, and all out of my home game room.
You see - my local hobby store closed down some time ago and was replaced by an utter joke of a shop. Without bad mouthing anyone, let's just say my hobby became a private affair.
Flash forward several years and now I'm married. I have a kid. I have a good job. It's time to go live with my hobby again and not just let it linger in the confines of my home. I almost don't know where to begin, so rather than dredge through years of backlog, I'll just jump into what I'm working on now.
With that in mind, I'll be attending my first Age of Sigmar tournament this weekend, and I simply don't believe in attending an event with unpainted miniatures. Over the last week, I've set off in a whirlwind of hobby progress and slammed out most of what I need to finalize this army for the event.
Not the best work I've ever done, especially since the photo of the foot Celestant (converted from a Lord Relictor and toting a Ghal Maraz all his own) was taken before I even washed his armour - but I won't be fielding unpainted models.
I still have to apply static grass and paint the edges of the bases, but I would prefer to just knock all of them out at once on that. Otherwise, all I have left are 5 Liberators, who are about a third done. At this pace, I'll even have time to rig up a display board for the tournament.
It's good to be back in the saddle again. And with years of missed content, I'm sure I have plenty to update on.
Only the Faithful.
