Hey Everyone! Today I wanted to talk about that still, somewhat, controversial topic of rebasing your models to round and oval bases in Age of Sigmar. If you have been following my blog for the past year or so you would have seen me accepting the move to round bases, but refusing to rebase any old armies. You would have also seen my reversal of opinion as I began my Aelf rebasing project that is still ongoing currently. Today I wanted to dive into this topic about why I feel the community nee
Hey Everyone! The snow and the cold are still very prevalent in my part of the world creating a very cold hobby area for me, but there are projects to complete. Thankfully I was able to gain respite outside of my basement to watch The Grand Tournament Heat 1 for Age of Sigmar this past weekend. A nice cup of coffee and a day of streamed games while my hobby area warmed up is the best kind of weekend to have when there are ice and snow covering the outside like a Beastclaw Raider invasion.
Hey Everyone! Today I am happy to bring you another interview with Dan Moyes who is a member of The Rend 4 Age of Sigmar Club. You might recognize Dan from my Weekly Hobby Update posts as he was the gentleman who was pushing me to Hobby as much as I did over the past few months. Dan is local to Colorado but met Neil at Adepticon last year which is how he joined the club. It was fun getting to know Dan better through some friendly competition and soon we will be sharing a drink at Adepticon t
Hey Everyone! Malign Portents is finally getting underway as we see bits and teasers being put out here and there. I am very excited for what it is bringing to Age of Sigmar and if you haven't taken the time to dive into every part of the website I highly suggest you do so as soon as you can. There is a lot of great bits of information for the Malign Portents and for the Age of Sigmar setting as a whole. To kick off this new chapter Games Workshop is running events to help players get an arm
Hey Everyone! It is hard to believe, but a new Event year is finally upon us. Great events such as L.V.O. and Waaagh! Paca will be taking place this month, but sadly I am unable to attend either of these excellent wargaming events. My focus is turned toward March where we will see a Coalescence event followed directly by Adepticon 2018. I plan to post monthly updates about my hobby, games, and other preparations for Adepticon this year. I did a similar article series last year for both Adept
Happy New Year Everyone! As we head back to work, and away from our Hobby tables, I hope the post-holiday blues don't keep you down for too long. I am doing everything I can to keep my Hobby moving forward and not fall into a slump. Thankfully I had a great year-end push with painting and gaming that has kept me really excited about my current projects going into the new year.
Currently rebasing all my Aelves
The year ended with two great games with some of my regular opponents. Aleks c
Hey Everyone! The year is coming to a close and a new year is about to arrive with abundant blessings from Papa Nurgle. If you haven't seen the Nurgle reveals head over to the community site to check them out, especially the video from the Warhammer Community Team. As typical at the end of another great Hobby year, I want to take a look back and make share my hopes for the year to come, but instead of focusing on releases I wanted to look at it all from a Community standpoint!
We ca
Hey Everyone! I hope your Holiday season is going well so far and that you have had a lot of hobby over the past week. The year is quickly coming to an end and if you have been following my Hobby Update posts you know that I am in the running for the "Hobby Hero" award as part of the Rend 4's club event season. It has been a very tight battle between me and gentlemen by the name of Dan who has pushed me to keep up with him as the deadline of Dec 31st. looms. I am also very pleased that the n
Merry Christmas everyone and Happy Holidays! Today I wanted to bring you something a bit different to hopefully bring a bit of festive cheer. It is very much outside my comfort zone, but it was a nice exercise in writing for me and I hope it is a good read for you as well. Grab some Cocoa and a plate of cookies as you read my take on a Classic Tale of "A Christmas Carol" set in our favorite place, Warhammer Age of Sigmar. I present to you, A Sigmas Carol".

Hey Everyone! The year is almost over, but with the cold weather, that means the time for games and painting is in full force for most people. My club has had some great attendance at our past few Club Days with everyone working on their armies and projects going into the Holiday season. Most are anticipating having, even more, models to paint after Christmas so they are trying to wrap up what is on their table currently. I am no exception and with the Rend 4's Hobby Hero award coming to a c
Hey Everyone! Today I will be continuing my series on "Life Lessons and Wargaming". The point of this article series is to look at the little lessons we learn throughout life and how we can apply these to our Wargaming hobby. In today's article, I plan to talk about continuous improvement and wrap up my thoughts and hopefully persuade you to go after your goals and use all those lessons you have learned throughout life to help you become better hobbyist and gamer. I might return to this seri
Happy Wednesday everyone. The snow seems to finally be hitting the country around where I live which means plenty of time to get some Hobby time. My "Great Aelven Rebasing Project" has slowed down a bit as I am waiting for more bases I have ordered to arrive, but thankfully there is plenty of other Aelves needing my attention. Not to mention the games that need to be played!
Recently I purchased some old metal Executioners and other various aelves and I felt it was time to get some pa
Happy Friday everyone! Today I wanted to cover a recent one-day tournament I attended hosted by The Rend 4 Club based in Northeast Ohio. The event was held at their local store, Battlegrounds, in Ravenna, Ohio*. The store had an excellent set up with their product centralized between two separate rooms for Board and Card games on one side and Dedicated, specially built tables for Warhammer on the other. The shop was about a three-hour drive from my home, but I was joined by my good friend Al
Hey Everyone! Welcome to my 100th blog post! I don't know if that is an achievement or not, but it is fun to say nonetheless. I have had plenty of Hobby over the past week and with the madness of the Holidays coming up I am doing my best to squeeze in as much time to complete all my projects while enjoying the fun with family and friends. Also, Tomorrow is the last day to take The Big Community Survey put out by the Warhammer Community team. It is a good chance to submit your feedback to Ga
Hey Everyone! Today I will be continuing my series on "Life Lessons and Wargaming". The point of this article series is to look at the little lessons we learn throughout life and how we can apply these to our Wargaming hobby. In today's article, I will be exploring both the Success and Failure you will encounter while working toward your goal. Expect to encounter both of these concepts as you grow and work towards your goals, but you must never let failure discourage you and never being afra
Happy Wednesday everyone! We are fully into the Holiday season now and I hope you are finding plenty of time to work on your Hobby. I finally began getting back into my Hobby grove last week and I am trying to kick it up a few levels this week to carry me through to the end of the year. I am happy to say "The Great Aelven Rebasing Project" is in full swing! Soon my Aelven forces will be marching to war in The Mortal Realms!
I decided to get things going with my rebasing by putting s
Hey Everyone! Today I am happy to bring you another interview with a community leader, Neil. Neil runs the Rend 4, Age of Sigmar Club located in Northeastern Ohio and has really done well creating a friendly group to share and support hobby with the clubs page on Facebook. I was lucky enough to get to know Neil on Twitter before finally meeting him at Adepticon this past year. He participated in the Coalescence event I held at my local club and I will be attending his first club tournament i
Hey Everyone. Hope your hobby week has been going strong! I have finally managed to get over my painting lull I have been in the past few weeks thankfully as my Adepticon Army is going to require quite a bit in the very near future. Speaking of Adepticon, registration happened this past Friday and events fill up fast. I signed up for the Age of Sigmar Grand Tournament as well as the Team event. I am also assisting Paul to run the Narrative event on Thursday which will be a real treat. Curr
Hey Everyone! Today I will be continuing my series on "Life Lessons and Wargaming". The point of this article series is to look at the little lessons we learn throughout life and how we can apply these to our Wargaming hobby. In this article, I wish to explore the idea of not focusing on the outcome. You may think back to my original article where I wrote extensively about visualizing your goal and wonder why I am now telling you to not focus on it. At first, it can seem that way, but visua
Hey Everyone. I hope your hobby has been going well this past week. Mine hasn't been as fruitful as I would like with painting and gaming, but despite that I have been busy building lists, reading through warscrolls, looking at points, and diving into some other community projects that have really taken center stage in my mind and hobby.
A visit to my local game store this past week did give me a chance to play a game of Shadespire. It was the first time I was able to play Khorne and
Hey Everyone. I recently got to sit down and chat with a local Community builder Mike from one of the local clubs I belong to called Steel City Sigmar to talk about his experiences building the Age of Sigmar Community in the Pittsburgh Area. The club is one of the bigger groups in the area and if you have seen me around Adepticon or Nova Open you can often find wearing the clubs shirt on one of the days. Mike is a man after my own heart as he has really involved himself in building the commun
Hey Everyone! It has been an exciting weekend of Age of Sigmar with Blood and Glory happening over in the UK where they had some exciting announcements as well as Holy Havoc happening over here in the US. Twitter was full of great armies and games being played! While I was not fortunate enough to be attending either of these events my friend Matt was running a one day Age of Sigmar Narrative called Fawkes Hunt at his house which really made for a great end to the weekend.
While I have
Hey Everyone. Today I wish to continue my series on "Life Lessons and Wargaming". The point of this series is to take lessons we learn throughout life and how we can apply them to our miniature wargaming hobby. We often will learn these life lessons and put them to use here and there, but often these lessons are universal and can be used to improve every aspect of our life, including on the tabletop. The topic for this post is the difference between Self-Discipline and Self-Control and how t
Happy November everyone! I hope you had a ghoulish All Hallows Eve as well as a great Parade day for Age of Sigmar Armies on Parade this past Saturday. I ventured out with my Harvest Sylvaneth and came away with a few awards myself. I got to spend the day chatting with some local friends and gamers while playing Warhammer Underworld: Shadespire so, all in all, it was a good day of Warhammer despite a few critiques I have for Armies on Parade overall this year.
I also want to give a shou
Hey Everyone! Today I wanted to show you my completed Entry for Armies on Parade 2017. This weekend Hobbyists from around the world will be heading to their local Warhammer or Games Workshop stores to participate in Age of Sigmar Parade Day. Last year was my first Armies on Parade as it was also the first year of my local area having an official Warhammer Store outside of Friendly Local Game Stores (FLGS). I took my Stormcast Eternals on a pretty simple Display Board with a raging river runn
