Hobby | Taking a Bite out of the New Year

Tired puns aside, I had a really good time painting this shark. Does it make sense? No, not really no. I like Age of Sigmar, a lot, but even I can admit that sometimes it gets a tad bit...weird. But I really like the Idoneth, so much so that I bought a whole army at once just to put them on a shelf and forget them. I've painted two heroes so far, but those were mostly tests to see how the paint scheme would work out. 

Space Din-O-Pinions | Enjoying the Hobby for What it is

Let's be blunt: we're all somewhat nerds when it comes to this tabletop thing. I've been a nerd for a long time, but sometimes this manifestation of nerdiness takes people by surprise. "Oh wow", they say, as they stare at immaculately painted minis all lined up in an Ikea case, "those are...very well painted." You say thank you and move on to another room, away from your war dollies that have taken hundreds of hours and dollars to have in your room.

Hobby | A Damsel of Distress in Working with Metal Miniatures

Bretonnia continues to be a sleeper hit on this blog. Last year, the second mini to get a spotlight was the King of Bretonnia himself, a name that I eternally find difficult to spell, King Louen Leoncoeur. It's all of those pesky French-y vowels. This year, the faction goes up on the podium to the coveted first mini spotlight of the year. While not strictly speaking a Bretonnian (or human, for that matter) model, I did some slight converting to make a Damsel on Foot for the army. 

Gaming | Casual, 4 Player Messy Fun

Look, I know, it's 2023, let bygones be bygones. And this particular game was played in 2022. However, the Space Dino very rarely games nowadays, so getting the chance to play was a blast, and I had to share the total of three photos I have of the night. 

Space Din-O-Pinions | Happy New Year and Hobby Goals for 2023

Now that 2022 is good and buried, we can all turn our attention onwards to the year 2023. I have a lot of goals myself for the year. You know, like working out, eating healthy and all of that jazz. But that's not the important stuff. No, what matters is the war dollies, and how I will be different and better with them in the next 360 or so days.
