For the fifth year now, it’s time to reflect on a year of hobby.

Age of Sigmar: Soulsnare Shackles
What fun is a wizard if you can’t animate chains out of the ground? I asked myself that very question, and answered with “not fun enough!” Thus, Soulsnare Shackles.
They’re quite simple models, although I certainly appreciate that they’re three distinct sculpts. To break it up, I added some rust colors. I’m not sure it sells as rust, but at least it brings in a bit of color.
Stormcast Eternals: Knight Incantor
I totally stole this idea but lost track of who from. This is a Knight Incantor model from the Getting Started magazine with a spare helmet from the Vulkite Berserkers kit. I’ve got a few other bonus bits, like the horn and Kharadron tool hanging from his belt.
Ultramarines: Tactical Squad
From time to time I’ll reach into the hobby vault to feature models painted before I started this blog.
Let’s take a trip back in time. My wife had been doing a lot of shopping at the craft store, and I had been eyeing a F-15 plastic model kit like one that I lusted after as a kid. I never really got into model airplanes as a kid. It turns out that $30 is unimaginably expensive to a nine-year-old but quite affordable to an employed adult. So I bought it and put it together.
With that done, I thought I’d try some 40k again. I had a bunch of stuff in the closet from when I briefly played in the 2nd and 3rd edition era. While I made some attempts at painting back then, most was unpainted, including this squad. I read some articles, watches some videos, and bought some paints.
Then, with a handful of painted models, I had an excuse to try playing again. I found a pickup game at the local shop with a kind soul who was willing to put up with my ignorance. Things kind of snowballed from there.
