My goodness…Not another painting blog. Well yes, why not?
I don’t consider myself a really great
painter. I started painting and modeling
about 30 years ago. My gaming days
started out like many of us with the old Advanced D&D red box and
eventually graduated to Battletech and Warhammer. I still love gaming, but the fact is that
these days I mainly paint for the fun and stress relief.
So why start a painting blog? Like many of you out there I suffer from miniature
ADHD and have a vast collection of
unpainted minis. The goal of this blog is
to not only paint the models that I and my son game with, but to also start digging
into the bottomless well that is my unpainted figure box.
Additionally, I want a bit of a safe haven for
my thoughts on a painting and model building.
I’d use the forums for several of the games I play, but they are
generally dedicated to a brand and I want to keep all my ramblings in one
spot. Cool-mini-or-Not is always an
option, but the site seems to be filled with painting snobs who provide just as
many snarky comments as helpful one.
Before anyone gets angry about that last comment
just let me say that I actually love Cool-mini-or-Not and troll over there often
for inspiration and ideas. I also make
frequent use of their online store.
Speaking of which….Honey if you decide to read this, please don’t go
looking at the checking account and wonder about the $100 order from Cool-mini-or-Not.
So here is what I currently have in my queue to
paint:
- Warmachine Khador army
- Warmachine Menoth army
- FOW Germans (mid war)
- SAGA Vikings (Historicals)
- And a few odds and ends…..
A quick note on the name of this blog. When I was in grad school, one of our major
projects was to design a company from scratch.
I decided design a miniature and games company and named it old Anvil
Games. Should I ever win the lottery, I’ll
make this company a reality.
Ok so this is the beginning. Over the next week I hope to start this thing
off in earnest with Beast 09. Check back
soon………
