News, Updates & ramblings

This Blog is acting as the news and updates page for my new website, HobbyBrush.com.

The website itself is the archive of my painting through the last decade or more, with easy navigation around what now amounts to over 3000 images of wargames figures & display miniatures.

It is also the repository for my musings, workbench notes and reports on all things gaming and miniature painting that I get up to.

I've been collecting miniatures for 24 years and have covered most scales, periods and styles in that time. Don't expect consistency on one project here - there will be variety in project, but hopefully consistently high standards!

Thanks for reading!

Project Anyaral: Photo Dump - 3 Months of Painting WoT!

Its been a month since the last update, but I'm not holding anything back with this one, so, take a deep breath....

 Devau Sempa, Matriarch, hatchlings, Jenta Outcasts, and Grishak Jenta all added to the Anyaral: World of Twilight Devanu Gallery. (12 Pictures)


Delgon Gunner (un-named, prototype piece), command pieces, characters, and mechanicals in many varieties all added to the Anyaral: World of Twilight Delgon Gallery (19 pictures)


The mighty Belan has seen paint, and added to the characters and beasts gallery. (3 Pictures)


More Dhogu have been painted, but the gallery updates for them have been limited to Just a couple of group shots (2 Pictures)


The Empire have not been left out themselves either, and the galleries have see the addition of the Slinger Rhyad and the Mounted Herders to their ranks - big group shot will have to wait until I can spare more space for these guys however! (6 Pictures)

And last but by no means least for this round of gallery updates, we have a complete new army page - The Engu are here! (10 pictures)

Phew, well I guess that's a way to spend an Easter Good Friday!

Project Anyaral - Painting Challenge January Galleries

They're running a painting Challenge over on the Anyaral: World of Twilight Forums . Whilst January hasn't allowed much chance to paint new figures from the range for myself, it has prompted me to take some proper photos of the ones I've done over the last year, and finally update the HobbyBrush Galleries with them!

First Up, the Delgon Gallery is online. Some of my new pics didnt come out too good, but there's lots more for them on the workbench in February, so expect an update next month! (7 pictures) 

Secondly, probably my favourite of the forces of Anyaral I've had the pleasure to paint. Clan Orel make their presence known and get their own gallery! (10 Pictures)

More to come soon from Anyaral, with gallery updates for the Empire, Devanu and another 2 new galleries as well, as soon as I get a chance to upload it all - here's a couple of the pics I took for the Forum Challenge to keep you interested ;)

Back to the core of the fubarnii empire....

The core of the fubarnii empire gets reinforcements.... 

Please excuse the weird looking rds - ipad photos rather than my usual hobbybrush rig - it doesn't like reds :( 

Militia captain. 

 
 
 
Slingers and Ryhad 
 
 

Mounted slingers / light cavalry and mounted herder Ryhad. Some of my favourites to date.

Little and often...


Those were the words I've told a number of friends who we're thinking of blogging. It's sound advice which I've totally ignored myself!

No promises, as nobody will believe me anyway, but let's try random photos or notes, regularly,  without needing to have web updates......

First up, Anyaral painting on the desk!

Fubarnii nobles:

Devanu:


Grishak Jenta:

Twilight updates, Gaming and the pledge!

Of Gaming...
Not content with Rolling dice on 3 different tables at Salute, I also played a little game at the GGC on Monday. Alsmost a repeat of my Salute WoT game, my Fubarnii militia and Herders, led by Commander Brenar faced off against 3 Devanu Jenta and 6 Grishak.

Despite having my head screwed on a bit better this time, and using my Herder Captain to his full potential, my Slingers too their new "Suicide Slingers" title a bit too litterally. Whether they were slinging playdough or simply drunk I dont know, but they failed to inflict damage on the encroaching grishak turn after turn. This left me with the Devanu on my doorstep at full strength. Delicate combat manouvering ensued.... in other words the Grishak ate everything in sight. Brenar and his militia did some fancy footwork however, and took down a Jenta and a fair few Grishak, but his sterling service was not to be repeated and they eventually fell trapped within an unstoppable wall of Devanu flesh.

A good game, and more to come - thank you Alex!

Of Painting...
I Painted in every spare second before Salute, including a fair few World of Twilight figures for my own collections. 6 herders, Commander Brenar, two Fubarnii Jenta, 3 Knights of Relan, and an Engineer saw me almost catch up entirely on my Fubarnii before buying plenty more at Salute. The results can be seen throughout this post, as well as in the Galleries right now - see below!

Of Updates...
The World of Twilight Fubarnii Gallery has been updated with 19 pictures of the latest additions, all noted above!

I can see! I can see!


But I haven't done much painting :(

My eyes continued to trouble me and took some time before I could focus well enough for long enough to really get down to much painting, so apologies for the lack of updates and for the very poor start to my pledge!

I do have a few new things to show off however, so please take a look if you care at....

The Next Big Thing - World of Twilight Diorama (9 Pictures)
The Giants Gallery - Selected Giants from across many 28mm ranges. (7 new pictures) And dammit, I'm counting those giants as 4 models each for the Pledge!
And because that's not enough new pics when you've been waiting so long, I've also uploaded the hasslefree Fantasy Gallery to add a little more colour (15 pictures)

Good News, I sold some more 15mm Flames of ar WWII Soviets. £120 worth to be exact which sets me off well on the pledge. I am, of course, however, just a normal gamer so no sooner had I done so that I made a purchase to further my Twilight Demo'ing capabilities (that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!). Using the same system of counting cavalry as 2 models each, I purchased 24 new models this month. So I break even so far. Not great, but could be worse I guess!

Gallery count: 3
Picture count: 31
The Pledge:
Models Bought: 24
Models Painted: (edit!) 26 - I didn't count the Diorama. counting 1 for model, 1 for setting ;)
Months into the Pledge: 2
