A new direction

My painting muse has fled… this happens to me from time-to-time. I can paint non-stop like a rampaging half-bull half-manbearpig hybrid at times…. And then, all of a sudden, I cannot be bothered with it.

I’m nearly done with painting Relic, but lordy, has that been a pain. What I've noticed is the amount of time I spend painting is directly related to the time I spend playing PC games. I just started playing The Old Republic and I’m enjoying the stuffing out of it.

Probably very few painting updates and game reports for a while, but I do have something else planned, excellent stuff in fact to fill the void. I’m planning two new regular columns for my blog. It’s all hobby related, but not to do with painting.

I have a core group of friends who play games most Monday nights. We alternate between RPGs and Boardgames. My idea is to review the games we are playing as a group. I’ll write a central narrative to the review and get commentary from the other 4 lads. We will also score the game based on our own experience with it to create “The lads score”.

Five different perspectives on a game should offer more insight than the usual one person reviews you see online, more about this later.

I’ve been reading the Horus Heresy books and I quite like them. I started off playing “Epic Space Marine” instead of 40k. I’ve always preferred the 30k setting to the 40k setting and I think the book reviews will be a good project to do. They will be filled with spoilers, so if you don’t want the books “ruined” for you then I suggest ignoring this section.

Right, that’s about it from me. Hopefully, if the weather is fine I can take some pics of the Relic busts and finish off that project. Until next time…
