Back at last!

Well, its been a fair old while. Life gets in the way sometimes, and sometimes a project has to sit in your mind a while before you've truly settled on what you want to achieve.
Life got in the way for me with a fairly tempestuous relationship breakdown, and then picked up massively some months later when I met my lovely Kate. She is exceptionally supportive of the hobby,as she has crafting hobbies of her own. So while Warhammer isn't something she is ever likely to get into, she understands many of the satisfactions of a well turned out piece of work, and has a lot of constructive feedback and fresh perspectives that have been brilliant for me.
The first piece I want to showcase is my first finished sculpture. Inspired by Kaptin Bluddfalgg from the DOW2 game, but as he progressed a lot of interpretation and colouring outside of the lines happened.

The sculpting was my first effort and a finished piece, and actually since then I've done very little more sculpting. I had a lot of fun painting him,and it was very satisfying to have a piece that is entirely my own work. But how hard it was,the time, and my desire to have a gameable army quickly has actually let me to get buying a lot of miniatures on ebay. My hope is now to get a painted game army together, and then get back to sculpting pieces after this to slot into and eventually replace the bought miniatures.
