Welcome to my blog

Having been lurking about the Oldhammer scene for a year or so, I've decided to start up a blog. It'll likely not get updated all that often, but I'll try to post about most of my projects. I'm a very much a newbie when it comes to painting and terrain building, but hopefully other new starters can learn from my inevitable mistakes!


I played Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay and Fantasy Battles back in the late 80s and early 90s. I had a clear out a few years ago and nearly all my Oldhammer stuff went in a garage sale, barring (thankfully) by White Dwarfs. I discovered the excellent Realm of Chaos 80s blog a bit over a year ago which reignited by passion for the hobby, and since then I've been slowly acquiring miniatures as well as a copy of the WFB 3rd ed rulebook. Painting time is limited, but I'm chipping away at enough minis to be able to field a couple of small forces. I've also got the terrain bug, and have a few ideas that will hopefully turn into projects soon.

For a bit of fun, here's a picture of one of my few surviving, painted minis - a skaven musician from about 1987 I think. I would have been about 14 when I painted it. It's awful, isn't it! I think the paints were Humbrol enamels. The splodge on the back of his robes is supposed to be a baleful red eye!

Thanks for stopping by!
