good idea. Forums, while things can be edited, are designed for storage and expression. you then have things like the failing 'discord' which was designed for online gamings to live chat, and thus, when used by others for other things, has SOOO many problems... thus one reason why it's failing.. but stuff aimed at the kiddies does so have 'fad' times..

Oh and.. not too hard to add an RSS feed system but that's all up to you ^_^ I've used a number of systems for other things in the past and must admit to being lazy when possible.. well.. when it's something that for me to do it another way would be more work then it's worth.

[...]maintain my own little space like a garden, instead of using something like Blogger or WordPress. [...]

I can sooooooo relate to that

Same, it is why I have my waffly website as well as my bloggy blog

Not entirely oldhammer - some of these models are derived from 3rd ed. era plastics - but I've painted a squad of space marines for my Rogue Trader campaign, including some classic Jes Goodwin sculpts of variant armour patterns. I'm particularly proud of the sergeant - I usually paint in quite a bright fantasy style and this involved a ton of techniques I don't usually use, like chipping with a sponge, oil washes, and weathering powders.

Look great! The older metal bodies allow them to pass the “Oldhammer” requirements! (if HH plastics were allowed on my posts don’t see why 3rd Ed plastics would be unacceptable! )

I'll let anything on a hex base get a free pass Nice dark scheme, they certainly wouldn't look out of place in any oldhammer style game. I like the muted yellows as a nice contrast to the black/red.

I do like the old Dark Angel black with red accents colour scheme. Don’t get me started about hex bases…

Started work on an Empire army - going to show off regular regiments in 5s so I have one more helblitzer to do, but for now, here's my army general. He's a bit of an Elric type, a counterpart to my Chaos general who is similarly Moorcockian in background. I saw this figure in one of Gary Chalk and Joe Dever's Tabletop Heroes articles and knew I had to make this miniature the leader of my army! He's the final scion of a provincial northern cadet branch of the Todbringer dynasty - once standing on proud heroic foundations, his castle now stands cold and half-ruined. Having grown up weak and disfavoured, the count had plenty of time to study, and now despite his eccentricities he's a valued general of Middenheim's small northern garrisons.

Here he is! He has a green magic sword with a sinister glow that matches the one I painted for my chaos general - I have a thought that they must be sister swords, but haven't worked it out beyond that.

Reminds me of a little of Vigo the Carpathian from Ghostbusters 2!

Lovely work, love the green armour and contrast it has with guy's white hair.
Never seen this mini before and sculpt looks a bit like his sword might be too heavy for him to wield.

Vigo reminds me of Fraser. Evil sorceror to radio shrink seems like a reasonable career change.

I, Vigo, the Scourge of Carpathia, the Sorrow of Moldavia, am listening!
