I've been dealing with a long bout of depression. I've had clinical depression--major depressive disorder--for over a decade, but the current depressive episode has been ongoing for a little over two years. It hits in the afternoon and lasts until bedtime. It's miserable. I hate it. It saps all joy of doing things and takes…
I haven't been posting my hobby streak much lately, but it's still going on (or, at least, I'm still painting; I'm not posting pictures as I should.) But my current obsession is with the nastiest green faction, the Maggotkin of Nurgle. This started a long time ago (I truly believe that EVERY Warhammer painter dabbles…
After my failure to make it all the way to Hobby Streak Day 1000, I am proud to now be back up to Day 100. And this hobby streak report is a little different than some of the recent ones. Here I undertook a project for the holidays, as well as started playing a couple…
A thing happened to me in the last month that I did not expect: What should have been a real dive into the joy of painting turned into a crippling freeze. Things that I had been looking forward to painting for a long time all came together at the same time and instead of taking…
So, I made it almost all the way to 850 days. I was so determined that I was not going to let the hobby streak die. I took my miniatures with me when I traveled, when I stayed in hotels on day trips and when I crossed an ocean to stay in Edinburgh. I kept…
I have been painting the Leviathan box set like a madman, which is great because it got me out of the funk that I was in with a dwindling #hobbystreak. (I'll write more about the poor hobby streak in the future.) But I was EXCITED for this boxed set, not the least of which because…
So it's a pretty big milestone for me, hitting day 800 of the Hobby Streak. That's taking my hobby on trips--even across oceans. It's hobbying on the same day as a huge car accident. Sure, all of those things are good excuses to pause the Hobby Streak, but I didn't wanna pause the Hobby Streak.…
As a miniature wargaming enthusiast, there may come a time when you experience a hobby slump. It can be challenging to push through a creative block or a lack of motivation, but it is not impossible. I chose to write this article because that's where I've found myself for the past several weeks--just struggling to…
I have been looking for opportunities to expand my Horus Heresy Blood Angels, and this last couple weeks have been pretty good for that--Horus Heresy Blood Angels Hobby Streak Day 775*.
*Today is day 775, but I've been painting these over the last week or so.

I may not be posting every day, but I am painting every day. And my current project is my Tallarn Genestealer Cults/Imperial Guard army, which you can read about here. The basic premise is that the world of Tallarn has been infiltrated by Genestealers, and the cult is thriving all through the ranks, infecting many…
