I thought I was done with Aeldar; a painted playable army will make you complacent like that. Then I counted the pile-of-shame last week and one mini in particular stuck out. Sorry for the crinkly backdrop, I normally curl a bit of A4 printer paper around what I’m pappin but this chappy was way too … More Aeldari Wraithknight
Happy New Year all! I realise it was over a week ago now but here in the UK it got lost in another lockdown. Time has no meaning, I barely remember New Year happening. Something I remember is a whole host of folks on-the-line sharing their hobby highlights of the past year and planning what … More New Year Different Plastic
This is it, the last of the Ynnari characters on my paint stack, the last mini in my Project Eclipse pledge and probably the last mini I’ll paint before we get into 2021. It’s Yvraine natch. Some bits of this were a joy to paint -the dress train is a drybrushing dream- other bits are … More Project Eclipse: The Emissary
Miniature two of three complete for my Ynnari contingent. Here we go: This was a total faff to build but a breeze to paint. The overwhelming majority was done with a single big brush. I’ve been watching a lot of Artis Opus videos, particularly their drybrushing ones and they blow my mind. Since I already … More Project Eclipse: the Avatar
Everybody’s doing it, even St Duncanhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKg8oPF4xfk; magnets on the underside of your minis and a sheet of something for them to stick to in the bottom of a suitable box, Really Useful Boxes (henceforth RUB) being one of the more popular box choices because they’re rigid, transparent, and stackable. My one and only beef with … More Miniature Transport
Following batch painting necrons I had a change of pace and painted a single model last week. The Visarch, Sword of Ynnead. The last few months of painting have seen me repeat two things; the first is putting translucent paint over a metallic base, the second is trying to make the eyes glow pink. This … More Project Eclipse: the Sword
Had a bit of an Aeldari palette cleanser last week before the last push on my bit of Project Eclipse. It’s a drastic change and wreaks of War in Heaven but I painted more Necrons. Here’re the additions: Thankfully a simple scheme like this is super quick to paint, I was able to churn this … More Cronsade Expanded
There’s been a big old gap since I last threw anything up here, looking back it was Augst- yoinks. It’s not that I haven’t been hobbying-I’ve been squeezing it in when I can- it’s just this specific project has become a real grind I needed to finish at the expense of all other hobby endeavours. … More Project Eclipse: Drukhari Raiders
Things have ground to a halt here at Fingers Manor, its been over a month since we’ve posted anything. In fact we’ve been a bit dry since we finished our dabble with AoS somewhat jerkily courtesy of Big ‘Rona. Turns out not getting to roll dice can really dent motivation to pursue a hobby that … More Cronsade
I’ve done absolutely zero hobby this week, too busy indulging in DIY. I’m not entirely confident of the trade terms but I’ve been doing some conversion work on my house; door swaps in the extension -binned off an old sliding patio door in favour of french doors- and rebased the living room and extension with … More Project Eclipse: Aeldari
