Where to begin…

For multiple reasons it has been many months since I’ve picked up a paint brush or thrown some dice. In some ways it is some what refreshing to take a step back and think about where the army is and what I really want to be working on next. I spent yesterday pulling out all my models to take a look at the current state of things. I was taken away with how big my Iron Warriors and Traitor Guard army has grown!

Iron Warrior and Traitor Guard Army
I put it all into Army Builder it came out at 8,500 points! And nearly all of that is fully, or at least mostly painted! The question that every hobbyist gets to at some point: what’s next? There is always more to add of course, but what first? To help me with this question I am currently putting together one of those great army progress charts that Drax made so popular. While pulling out each model I made notes about what needs to be finished, rebased, or just matte varnished. This way  I can continue to put the finishing touches on the army while planning the next expansion.

I am really excited for 8th edition of fantasy, as that is the game that brought me into the hobby. Both of my fantasy armies have seen nothing but dust the last two years so it will be good to get them back out and work on them as well. I’ll most likely be creating a separate blog for the fantasy since it doesn’t really fit in here so keep an eye out for pictures of my fantasy armies too!
