Looking to 2014: 10 things

So we turn to look towards the coming year, and the expectations that come with it. I'm not going to be so bold as to predict the next 12 months, simply share ten of the things that will make the year a good one:

An Unexpected Miniature

I went to see the second Hobbit film on Saturday, and so impressed was I by the Elves (of course) I picked up the new Legolas miniature the following day. Seeing as it was a sleepy Sunday, he ended up getting built and painted on the same day. It was a nice interlude between all of the Tale of Many Gamers painting.

The 10 Highlights of 2013

Now that I have the disappointments done with, lets move on to the 10 things that were the highlight of my 2013 in the land of hobby, again, in no particular order:

The start of the trilogy of end of year lists begins with the disappointments of the year, ten things that I wasn't keen on during this year of hobby. I thought I would start with the negative, so we can get it out of the way and focus more on the good things later. So, in no particular order:

Not Dead...Yet

First of all, I would like to apologise for not updating in nearly two months. But rest assured, I am now finding some spare time to start writing more about my adventures in hobbying.

Taking the Next Step

So the painting competition came and went (ToMG will be discussed later), and unfortunately I didn't win. But the result has put me in a contemplative mood, I know that I can paint to a good standard, but they lack that punch that grabs peoples attention it seems, and to be honest, I'm stuck.

Golden Griffon: November

This Saturday is the single miniature painting competition that is run at the local GW. I had planned on entering the previous one with an ambitious Tau Commander conversion, but sadly after getting the building done I failed to get anything other than a black spray coat on. So this month I am entering this chap under the theme of "HQ/Lord"
