Pumpkin Slayer in progress, slow but steady...

There is finally painting afoot! :) A momentous occasion for me. After looking for years at all the accumulated rank and file miniatures for my waragmes and dreading ever having to paint them I bit the bullet and decided to paint single miniatures not units. I primed the two Scibor models that I have from my birthday and a few other random GW models. I then started to work on the pumpkin slayer model. Such a simple model and such a joy to actually paint.

Birthday Goodies.
My girlfriend was kind enough to pick up a couple for pieces from Scibor Miniatures for me. I'm really looking forward to painting them and hope to start before the week is out.

Painting is finally happening again. I getting back into practice on a few of GW's clip fit minis, some Orcs and some Chaos Space Marines. After that I really needed to polish of and post my review of the Vallejo products I received last year.

Yeah, finally painting again.

Just as I find myself with enough free time to paint a back injury comes along to ruin things. Lying on your side in a fetal position for a number of days is depressing, even if you do have several dvd box sets to work through. The nasty pain is gone but sitting at a desk trying to paint is woefully uncomfortable. Just about managing the desk work end of my job at the moment.
Ah well, there is plenty of prep work I can do in anticipation of painting again in the new year.

Vallejo Pigments and Washes

The nice people at Vallejo have very kindly sent me some of their new pigments and washes to review.I'm a bit tied at the moment but I should have something together in the next couple of weeks.

I'm somewhat of a reluctant painter, a procrastinator. I own hundreds of miniatures, boxes of paints, brushes and accessories and yet I have completed only a handful of models to date.
Playing a game of WFB or W40K is embarrassing, fielding an army of half assembled and largely unpainted models, no one unit complete. I'm registered on just about every gaming and painting forum I can find, I have read every review, guide and walkthrough that I can find. It's time to make use of all this knowledge. This blog is an effort to motivate myself to sit down and paint. Complete the random minis currently on my desk and then settle in to slowly but steadily unit by unit work my way through masses of Undead and Eldar with the odd Warmachine or Confrontation mini thrown in.

Hopefully I'll manage to update weekly and maybe a few of you will find this blog worth following.
