So, this is a #hobbystreak article, but as you can see I have finally named my homebrew Space Marine chapter. They are The Inferno, and they are a successor chapter to the Salamanders. I've made some design choices with them that I'll go into in more depth as we move on, but for now I'm…
So it's been more than a week since I've posted but I've actually been super productive when it comes to painting--with some results being better than others. This weekend was my birthday and, as is tradition around my house, on my birthday I get some new miniatures as a gift (kinda a gift to myself…
Honestly, I don't know what it is about myself, but I get it in my head sometimes that I really ought to have a T'au army and I buy a couple of models and then just remember how I HATE EDGE HIGHLIGHTING.... So I end up with like five battlesuits and then sell them on…
This week in #HobbyStreak I have been painting up some old Tau Empire that have been waiting patiently in my Pile of Shame. Specifically, this is the T'au Combat Patrol box (Buy from Amazon | Buy from Element Games). I also was looking forward to the other large mech that I had only to realize…
Turnip28
The first model I painted this week was an experiment into Turnip28, a completely unhinged game that is more of an aesthetic than a game. I mean, Turnip28 has rules (which you can access here on creator Max FitzGerald's Patreon), but the point of the game is not the game. FitzGerald has said in…
Hobby motivation in the wargaming hobby can be hard sometimes. I know that I've experienced it a little in the face of the current war in Ukraine, as the whole situation has soured me to the thought of guns and tanks. (I had been working on a Death Korps of Krieg army and decided to…
It's been a while since I updated you on my Hobby Streak, but rest assured that I've been painting (you can always keep tabs on it on my Instagram). I'm in a bit of a patchwork of painting lately because, after finishing the Stormsword a couple weeks ago and the world being…the way it is…
So, selling miniatures on eBay...
I recently wrote about how, in the course of my Hobby Streak beginning in January of 2021, I painted 648 models. I talked about how so much painting has made me a better painter and how so much painting has made me a better wargamer. It's made me more involved…
This week in Hobby Streak I switched from my love of monsters into infantry. This wasn't entirely intentional--I got some of these models for Christmas and was just painting them because they looked like fun. But I also have some pretty solid goals for 2022 and I wanted to dive into them.
Day One, Two, and…
Hobby Streak: Christmas Vacation
This last ten days in the Hobby Streak have been fast and furious because I got not only a lot of models for Christmas, but I also got a lot of extremely cool models for Christmas. These are some of the biggest models that I had been wanting for months that…
