Do you like aged, grizzled men in leather and fur? Then this post is for you!

Yeeeeaaaahhhhh.... Sorry 'bout that. I totally intended to keep blogging. Honestly. And then I get busy. So a bit of an update on what I have been doing for most of the year, and what has been keeping me off the blog: Each year I set out with the intent to do more blog work. It's fun, I enjoy it, and I like being able to clear my head about stuff and show progress. This year though, I lost track of time in a big way. Part of that time was GenCon. This year was my first trip there, overseas with friends, attending a mini painting comp while there. While it was great fun, and I dearly want to do it again next year, the comp hung over my head as soon as CanCon ended in January. It's very hard to ignore when you start booking trips so soon after one con, and it seemed to rush the time through. So that ended up over my head for several months as I (as usual) bit off more than I could chew, and tried to get everything done in time. Not long after I got back, I started plann...

I promise I've painted stuff this year, but I also painted this one about a year ago. I got photos at the time, but not very good ones. They were taken outside where the sun was out of my control (I missed my lamps and my ability to manipulate them).

And here is another game unboxing I did and forgot to share. Now I have no backlog of these, I guess i Have to do some more in the future... Anyway, this is my unboxing of Kings of Artifice from Wyrd Games

So this is one of two videos I did a while ago, but never got the post finished to put them onto here... Eep... This is me opening and looking at the contents of Zombiecide from Guillotine Games.

A quick one: Darkling Games (Previously known as Bederken) has a new website, with a new store and forum. If you want to get in at the start of something as it builds, now would be a great time. And if you are looking for an Australian-based miniature company, or have interest in skirmish games rules (Skulldred is currently in the works there), or just have a soft spot for the classic 80's-90's era design of minis, but with a more up-to-date and better produced feel, I think you would really enjoy it: Darkling Games

So I'll start by pointing out that this is part of the reason I've been worn out lately. I've been really busy lately, and it's left me rather drained. Blogging has been the last thing in my mind, sadly. Also, there aren't any images in this post... yet. I'll add them in later, but I seem to have lost most of the images from the last month on my laptop somewhere. Anyway, on with the fun and games!

Happy 2014 everyone! I'm going to try to update my forgotten blog a bit more this year, and I'm starting with photographing some minis I recently finished. This is my Rail Crew for Malifaux!
