Personal and Miniature Update

Sometimes real life just can't stop hitting you in the face with lead buckets filled with bricks. After a rather turbulent year during which I occasionally spent a few hours on hobby-related activities I've thrown myself back into this pastime with confidence. 6th edition has given a lot of my miniatures a new lease of life. More on that in a later post. First, I'll show off what I've managed to paint in the last 18 months.

Rawr!!

This model was the first actual dinosaur added to the army way back in 2008 and is still my favorite model in my collection.

Reinforcements: Scout Bikers on Cold Ones

I've painted up three of my Scout Bikers recently so I can use them in my games:
