Ørnulv´s 2016 in review

At first I thought that it had been a relatively unproductive year. But once I started counting the projects that I have finished, I quickly got into a far better mood.

The focus of 2016 was to expand my Dark Eldar and Eldar / Eldar Corsairs. Time consuming to paint, but lots of fun. So, what did I finish?

2 Eldar / Eldar Corsairs HQ

2 Warwalkers

15 Hellions

15 Dark Eldar Jetbikes

6 Eldar / Eldar Corsairs Jetbikes

3 Talos / Chronos

2 Wrack gunners

Haemonculus

Razorwing Jetfighter

Voidraven Bomber

5 Wraithguard

Re-arming 4 Scourges

Phew! I also had to make some new NIDS models preparing for a GW Tournament in Nottingham:

2 Malanthropes

Mawloc

And of course, my beloved Ultramarines got a huge expansion with 6 new pods:

And if that was not enough, I built and primed 5 Scouts, 20 Sternguard Veterans, 10 Devastators, 5 Assault Terminators, 5 ordinary Terminators and 5 Terminators in Cataphractii armour. They are gazing at me as I am currently working on them…

When it comes to gaming however, I have not been as active as I have wanted to be. A 2-day tournament in Warhammer world, a couple of friendly games and I have hosted 4 TSB gaming weekend events. Not to bad, but I would like to play more during 2017 than I did in 2016.

As long as I am on that subject, the whole of TSB are coming around to my house this weekend for a game event preparing 4 of us for our trip to Adepticon 2017.


Cheers,

Random Access Modelling - Ghoul King & Bloodsecrator's ponytail

I'm a bit of an eBayoholic, and as such I have a tendency to accrue the occasional bits and models that I have no immediate or concise plans for. Most often, they end up forgotten in the bottom of some bits box or other.


Yes... I have several...


Sometimes, though, the arrival of a new random bit seems to... 'resonate' with another unrelated piece of plastic. Recovering the old bit will often result in something I like the look of, but have no idea how to use on the tabletop.


Callidus/Culexus for my slow-off-the-ground Traitor Guards, perhaps?

My workspace IV

So I thought I would join this fun series and show my messy workspace.
I have stolen the guest room, so I am not very soical when I paint, I am usually miles away listning to a Black Library book. (look at the realy good blog I am  reading at the moment!)





Behind me lies all the projects wainting to be finished, especially the eldar corsair, eldar, dark eldar project that some day will se the light!

My workspace III

She-who-comes-first tend to frown upon me being too antisocial in the evenings, so I do most of my hobbying on the end of the dining table. I do have a desk downstairs in my hobby-room, but this is usually reserved for large/messy/time-consuming projects.

Next to my desk there's a couple of guest beds - the kids' old ones that I kinda got stuck with. Luckily I also have several sections of IKEA shelving units that I've set up underneath the beds. This gives me quite a lot of storage space - and should be sufficient once I can sort through it once more...

Update (2013.01.28)
A couple of example pictures of where I do most of my hobbying, when I'm not doing something too messy.

My workspace II

Following up on Linus “my workspace” post, well this is mine! Nothing “clever” about my “set up”. I use the whole of the living room desk as my "hobby desk", also fore storage of tools, bits related to current projects, paints etc.

What I like about my workspace is that it is centred in the living room so I can participate in what is happening elsewhere, and also have a view to the telly. As you can see I too use a “transportable board” witch a friend made several years ago as a large “tank diorama base”. Once finished with a hobby session, I place “things” back into the desk and move the "hobby board" into the "battle bunker". Fast and efficient, it works.

I have a larger storage facility in my “gaming room” (battle bunker) witch also holds my armies, terrain and storage of various “bits and parts” from current and earlier projects.

Cheers,

Ørnulv  

My workspace

Ok, no battle report or project log, but simply a few pictures showing what I do when I delve into my hobbying at the dinner table at home.

As you know I have no bunker or dedicated room or desk for painting and modelling, but I have found a way that is very functionable. The key is super quick set up and transportation from the place my two work stations are stored. And as you can see, I have found out that combining painting and modelling only makes a big mess. One station for painting and one for modelling works perfect.

What about the rest of you Team Stormbolter guys and girls. How does your workspaces look like and how are you organized? If you want post som pics of your über smart soltuions and maybe we all can pick up some great ideas.

Have a nice day folks!
