It is much easier and to the point to copy the blurb, isn’t it?

 

(1)  I have looked a little, but unfortunately, it is one of those things I just do not have enough time to devote to doing. Even my forum activity is pretty non-existent compared to before, Hobby Weekender Threads notwithstanding. I have seen a few nice ones. One was a heresy era army. I got to find some more project logs to look through though, a lot of them are quite good.

Here is one I found looking for the one I was looking for:

 

Luna Wolves Reborn a.k.a. Cawl’s personal Guard – by Bothi

 

Here is the one I was looking for:

 

Luna Wolves

 

And this is another brilliant one I just happened to stumble across…

 

Mage’s Age of Sigmar Dark Elves

 

 

 

Some questions to get the ball rolling:

(2)  What was the first song you ever recall really liking off of your own bat? That is, a song that you were exposed to which ‘clicked’ for you and made you thing that maybe this whole music thing was actually a pretty good idea? Do you still like the song? Interactive response time here – please post a link to the track as well.

 

That is a very good question. I’m not quite sure to answer that as we kind of go through phases in our life and as years go by, we reach landmarks and go through life our experiences, outlook and palette changes. This is going to be a very, very broad cross section of my life and music.

 

From childhood, Dad playing this all the time in the car:

 

 

As I got older (preteens):

 

 

Teens (more punky and of course, teenage emotions/hormones):

 

 

 

However, I miss stuff from the mid 1990s, feeling nostalgic for that era now that I am in my early 30s:

 

 

 

 

 

Ill continue this later, with age and time, etc. For now, I will continue with the questions.

 

(3)  What is the best piece of gaming or hobby related advice that you have ever received? How has this helped shape your hobby since?

 

Im struggling with this, painting since I was ten so it is hard to say. I guess my painting game really upped was on two occurences. The first was when the paint guides for Lord of the Rings minis were released in white dwarf. They were aimed at new people and had a lot of detail in them with painting mixing and general advice. You could get your Elrond or Ringwraith close enough to the White Dwarf models. They aren’t like the rubbish, oversimplified, missing step ones that are currently in White Dwarf.

 

The second time was when my LGS started doing more painting classes/days and stuff in store. The owner and some of the lads really helped me up my painting game and get my Iron Hands looking well. It really helped with details, washes and drybrushing.

 

Music, of course:

 

I watched Thor Ragnarok lately:

 

 

And this song reminds me of an ex who broke my heart:

 

 

This came out when I was on holiday a few years ago in LA. Good stuff:

 

 

And a funny:
