Finished my Magister on Disc of Tzeentch

Quick sketch for a scratch built Warcry terrain piece to go with my Tzeentch Arcanites… maybe?

Great job.

I don’t paint much anymore, but this is what is on my painting desk.Very slow burn Warcry to Spearhead Tzeentch project.

Sorry for you loss

Finally finding my painting mojo again with this Kairic Acolyte armed with a Vulcharc. This is the start od a Warcry warband project that will expand into a Spearhead.

How it started vs how it’s going.

Way more character in the original set.

Just enter it, I’m sure someone can beat you.

Picked up a brush finally. But I’m not really feeling it. I’ll finish this Acolyte and see if anything changes.

Very smart idea. Thanks.

My Vulcharc’s ankle snapped. I’ve made an ugly fix by drilling and pinning him to the arm of my Kairic Adept.

How would you hide the pin?

I’m using them to represent the Aeldari battle focus agile manoeuvres.

Lured Dunk’s Ultramarines into a killing zone, fell back and wiped him out to a man. Victory for Ulthwe just as Eldrad had foreseen. The real winner is painted armies and beautiful terrain.

Playing a 1000pt game with my Aeldari this weekend. All magnetised up and ready to go in the case. (This is more than 1000pts, I’m not using the farseer or second wave serpent).

I don’t feel burnt out. I just feel like I’m doing an unpaid job and questioning it. Seems stupid.

Wow. That must be 20 years ago

They’ve recently made huge changes. It’s not for me. I left.

I think what this is adding up to is, no tale of painters blogging, no warhammercommunity submissions, a lot less social media (maybe making my accounts private so I’m not passively promoting GW products) or chasing likes. This will free up a huge amount of time for actual hobby.

Hobby re-evaluation:
Stepping back and assessing why I’m doing what I currently do.

Pics are mine. All real. All caught in camera practical effects. Edited in photoshop by me. No ai used.

I feel like I need to retrain my brain. For years and years I’ve hobbyed a very specific way. Creating images and blogging about my hobby. It got more extreme creating content for Warhammer community. Hence why I’m asking people where they find the joy in their hobby

I’m a graphic designer/photographer in the real world. I was part of GW content creator programme. I was painting/photographing to a professional level,I was sinking an incredible amount of time into this. I asked myself why am I doing this? It’s not for me, I’m not getting paid so what is the point

I’m re-evaluating my wargaming hobby. It turned into an unpaid job and made me feel unhappy/foolish.

Tell me where YOU find the joy in YOUR wargaming hobby? I could do with some inspiration. #warhammer #wargaming #paintingminiatures

Pics for attention.

Here’s how I painted my Iron Warriors Saturnine Dreadnought that was recently on the Warhammer Community website.

Someone give this man another Golden Demon trophy, now. 😍

Remember when the term 'army' in wargaming mean't something? Seems like warband sized boxed sets get labelled "army" all the time now. Anyhoo, this is my Blades of Khorne collection so far, I'll let you decide if it's worthy of the term army or not.

If mini painting is becoming a chore, put it down for a while - you'll get the itch when you're up for it again! The models, paint, etc aren't going anywhere.
