Monster Munchkins and Their Terror - The Aftermath

Hi Everyone,

So I haven't been painting or posting for a while now. I suppose I should provide a quick explanation as to why.

As you all know I collect Trolls, that's it... I have no interest in the other factions (I plan on selling my Khador and LoE)

A few months ago I had 2 little terrors visit me and while I had packed away most of my beloved trolls, a few were still hanging around. I supervised these terrors watching them admire my models, as they were lifting them gently. Satisfied they were okay around them I went to the kitchen to get them a snack and BANG CRASH BOOM!

My Mauler is completely broken the paintwork ruined and flaked, parts are missing across a few of the models including the Mauler. I handled this pretty well I thought - just grabbing as much as I could and put things away... and that is where it has stayed.

I haven't really taken anything out to examine the full extent of the damage. I have lost interest, knowing the hours ahead of me on repairing already done models and finding/replacing missing parts has made me avoid playing/painting.

I do intend to help Mithras in the near future on painting up a couple of battle boxes. Hopefully this will reboot my interest in the game.

Long absences, new worlds and new blog

Sorry about the long absence from posting.  Last year I made the decision to get a job and move to Japan.  While it took quite a while to sort out of the legal aspects of the visa I am finally in Japan.  The said part is I have not been able to paint for quite a while.  Sadder still I couldn't bring my miniatures and painting to Japan, not only is 30kg not really adequate to pack your whole life into, but I have no room in my tiny 23.89m2 flat here, specially when the bathroom and laundry take up around 40% of that space.  Even if I had the space though between, work, classes and travelling back and forth to home I barely have time to study and do chores and maybe watch this weeks Gotham, let alone paint.

Since I can't really do much paint blogging from here, I will be blogging about one of my other favourite hobbies, tabletop RPG's.  Check out the RawrGaming blog here.

Cheers, looking forward to eventually being able to paint and blog about it again. In the mean time I am sure Tyrant Mithras and Zeiju will have plenty of painting bloggery to keep you entertained.  To be honest they are better painters than I am anyway, it makes up for me being smarter, better looking and perhaps slightly more egotistical (I prefer to think of it as more self confident).

Cheers,

Lokius

The Road to TempleCon (Part III)

He's done it, the Legion is complete!

A couple of close-ups...

With all that sorted, I just need to figure out the best way of getting them across the world.

To help me along with my own painting I've commissioned Jolly Roger Studio to paint some Cryx but more on that coming soon! These guys are great and I can't wait to show off the work they've done.

Back to some Cryx!

It's been a while but after a break for a couple of months, I'm back on the blog like the train station's shoutiest hobo.

The TempleCon preparations been on hiatus while I deal with the Cryx-shakes (not painting Cryx for a while makes me feel ...funny :P). But this is also helping with TempleCon as I plan on taking Goreshade 3 and the models I've painted in the meantime fit into the list I'm taking so here's some pics :)
