Greetings, Hail, & Well Met

So it turns out that just under a year ago (February 22, in fact) was the very first time I threw down my Circle Orboros army and played my first full game of Hordes.

Up until then, while I had been interested in the various tabletop miniatures games (specifically, the GW 40K and Fantasy ones), had read the rulebooks, bought a codex, etc., I had never actually purchased any forces. Too expensive, too many figures, too little time.

Thanks to the Brothers Mead, that changed when I was first introduced to what is my faction of choice: Circle Orboros.  It's got druids, it's got wolves - what's not to like???  I believe they're probably the most gorgeous faction in the entire setting of the Iron Kingdoms, and it doesn't hurt that their playstyle suits me.

Since starting off with the standard battlebox of Kaya the Wildborne, 2 Argus and a Feral Warpwolf, the army has grown considerably... but to my chagrin, I realize that I still have models unpainted and not fully assembled from a year ago *avoids looking at the two argus.*


Still, I have managed to complete a fair amount of figures for both myself and my fiancee's Khador army, and I'm amazed at the changes and improvements to my painting techniques. There's still a lot more improvement to go, so I'll be using this blog as a place to post about what I'm working on, post pictures, and write up various battle reports about Warmachine/Hordes. And hopefully keep myself from burning out. I may add some of my other hobbies to this blog in the future, but we'll see.


So that's it, welcome to the blog.  A few quick things about what I'm looking to improve as time goes on:
1) OSL Lighting. I really want to learn how to do this properly, especially after seeing some of the stunning work over on the Privateer Press forums.
2) Non-metal Metallics. Long-time goal of mine. Haven't made much progress on it.
3) Conversions. Need to get my hands on a jeweler's saw, some assorted drill bits of various sizes, some assorted brass rods of various sizes, plasticard, and some sculpting tools. 


I won't even glance in the direction of making my own terrain... yet.


Enjoy!
