Pre-ordering Dominion…for science – Games Workshop’s new queuing system
19June
As someone who regularly orders limited items - boxes, books and miniatures - I was a bit skeptical of the new queueing system.

A week in Ulfenkarn
28April
Let's begin with a Vampire pun...Like most hobbyists with a pulse I was instantly interested in Cursed City when it was previewed on one of the Warhammer TV preview shows. There's been a lot of negativity surrounding the release, but I don't think that killed enthusiasm for the boxed set - whether you're interested in the lore and back-story, the game side or painting the miniatures.

It’s time for my bi-annual blog post. Does that mean twice a year or once every two years? Yes.

Hobby Challenges and the #dailygrot
10September
Last year I decided to paint a goblin miniature every day in August, as part of my first ever Armies on Parade entry. I also found it quite motivational to have to paint a miniature every day.

My first and only Goblin Team...

Hobbitarn’s Hobby Highlights: Issue 1
30April
Here you’ll find a curated list of tweets and links I’ve found interesting, inspiring or useful this week. I hope to put out a post like this every week going forward, but like everything else blog related I’ll probably get distracted by something small and plastic that needs some paint on it. Today’s a great day to write this article, as it’s the night before...

Unreleased miniatures: My favourites
22March
My collection of Games Workshop’s Middle-earth miniatures has grown and shrank in size over the last 15 years, in which time I’ve picked up a few miniatures that were never released to the public and some made in limited quantities. There were always miniatures though I never thought I’d get to paint. Recently, GW have been releasing some of these gems as part of Made to Orders...

I’ll update this post with prices and availability as I find out more. These have now been put on the shelves at Warhammer World! Defenders of Lake-town™ – Bard™, Legolas™ and Tauriel™ Similar...
