It was my best hobby year since the 80s!
The reasons for this are:
- I discovered in early spring there were a lot of great blogs and bloggers out there sharing my interest in the old-school stuff. From eBay I knew you were out there but never ran into anyone.
- I started my own blog. Reading my first post you can tell it wasn't very ambitious to start with. However, the fun just increased.
- You actually visited my blog and wrote interesting and encouraging comments. There is a great spirit in our community. I don't think I have ever seen an unfriendly word being written. A bit rate looking around the internet.
- All this got me very inspired and a lot of painting was done. Also manged to develop the painting as well - hugely rewarding. The main project was my Fantasy Chaos Army which started out as a Warband project which started out with painting a single Sorcerer. A few other bits and pieces got done as well and my 40k Khorne Warband was silly fun to do.

Thank you very much all writers, readers and fellow hobbyists!
I have no idea what 2014 will bring. The intention is of course to finish the Chaos army and as mentioned in last post, do a few more 40k warbands. Would be nice with a bit of gaming with my creations as well and going to Oldhammer day 2014 is in the plan.
Speaking of 40k warbands. This is a Nurgle Squat I made somewhere in the first half on the 90's for a warband I created back then. A project never finished

Excellent.
ReplyDeleteI hope 2014 brings more photographs of your lovely Chaos stuff :)
Will definitely post more photos - my frenzy of 2013 might be difficult yo keep up with though :)
DeleteThx/Hans

Thanks and the same to you - always good post/projects and comments from you :)
DeleteThx/Hans
I'm afraid my comment is going to be rather negative. You criminal! What did you do to this poor dwarf?
ReplyDeleteLOL!
DeleteWell - an old sin from the early 90's. I guess back then there were loads of this stuff still around so didn't consider the level of criminality this might be considered 20 years later :)
Thx/Hans
Love the output of your blog DH, excited about what your're going to show us next!
ReplyDeleteThanks Warlord Paul! /Hans

DeleteOh my god, that chaos squat is GREAT! You should totally finish it.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on a year of blogging.
Thanks! I have a few Nurgle Renegades and other stuff that could be used for a 40k Nurgle Warband so might bring this old dwarf back to the war front
DeleteThx/Hans
Yes, please keep it coming! I regularly revisit some of your posts to feast my eyes on your painting.
ReplyDeleteI have also taken great encouragement from the supportive comments of other classic miniature enthusiasts. A good community to be sure.
Thanks Rab! /Hans
DeleteI love that nurgle squat also. Significantly better than my own output from the same era!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the 2014 figures :)
Thanks Axiom - I see you around in 2014 :)
