TSHFT Pictures - Report to follow

The month of December has been incredibly busy and hectic in our house so I haven't had a chance to really sit down and write up anything yet. I have had some requests for these pictures though so wanted to get them up sooner. I apologize as I have not had time to even review them let alone edit them. Enjoy

Twelve days of Warhammer

My Husband reminded me tonight I hadn't posted about the 12 days of Warhammer I talked about on BOLS.
Before I got a chance to get the 12 days started for him he decided he wanted a Lego Advent Calendar instead.

I got the idea from a forum a couple years ago where they did a Warhammer advent calendar inside a carry case. Each day they received a new model and in the end had  a bunch of models and carry case. It's a great idea and I wish I could find the link to it but it was a few years ago I saw it.

WIP: Ultraforge Giant


Ultraforge has some beautiful models. Several years ago we bought their Treewoman model and this fellow. I painted the Treewoman some time ago and love how she turned out, I can post her later for your viewing pleasure but this model was left undone.

He is not finished yet but I am having a blast relearning some techniques and practicing my freehand. The tattoos are hard to do for someone with limited sketching ability like me.

I love how the flesh turned out, I spent days studying the models we did in our Masterclass sessions with Mathieu Fontaine and remembering everything I could about what he taught us. The biggest thing was circles.

There is still a lot to do but maybe if I post him as a WIP I will keep plugging away.

Have to do school drop off will post again later :)

Let it Snow!


Let it snow!

We got our first snowfall today and I haven't decided if it is a good thing or not. I was very interested in painting one of my empire guys and working on a sketch of the display board that I intend to use so that I can figure out how to do bases because at the moment I have not figured that part out 100% to my satisfaction yet. The only problem is that the area we use for painting is surrounded by windows and it's cold! My toes are already cold so instead of painting I am curled up under an electric blanket trying to warm up my feet with a crochet project in hand...not a dice bag but a Christmas Stocking. Not enough of it is done to show you yet, but it is coming along.

Is this Christmas season affecting your hobby time?

The Secret is Out


So between crochet projects, tournamnents and daily life I have been working on a secret army...it is slow going. My Brets have been my army for so long I feel like I am cheating or giving up or something. Alas I know it is more because I need something to paint that was not blue and red.


I am doing an Empire army.

Here's my problem: I really do not want cavalry and I really want an Imperial Griffon and Landships.

I have decided to do Landships and a Marienburg army using a whole lot of Forgeworld but I am struggling with settling on a solid army list. A 60 man horde of Halberdiers, 2 landships and what else....

Ring in with your opinions.
