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.
Horus Heresy Blood Angels Praetor and Chaplain Consul

I will be honest: I love the Horus Heresy models, but I have yet to play a single game. I have watched a lot, and I have read the rules, and I have seen battle reports, but I haven't ever been the player pushing the models around the table.
Part of this is because earlier…
