Earlier this year when I was visited York, I was really interested in the late Roman era of Britain, and picked up a box of #WargamesAtlanitc Late Roman Legionaries. On day 1440 of the #hobbystreak, I decided to build some before work. #historicalminiatures #wargames #DuxBritanniarum #twofatlardies

With the weather being cold and damp, I wanted to try an experiment on day 1438 of the #hobbystreak. A friend suggested I try on #TheArmyPainter brush on primer. I had never used brush on primers before, I gave these knights a coat, and will see how it goes. #miniaturepainting

Staying in this evening after a long week, and finishing the building the Goremongers that I started last night for day 1436 of the #hobbystreak. Now I have to see how they play on Monday. #warhammer40k #warhammer40000 #worldeaters #KillTeam

Next Monday I am playing some Kill Team, and since I had some Goremongers I was going to use for my World Eaters, I decided on day 1435 of the #hobbystreak to start to build them. They take me awhile as they are spindly so it slow progress. #Warhammer40kj #Warhammer40000 #WorldEaters #KillTeam

Saw this article on the BBC, thought it was a good read and glad the hobby I enjoy can be helpful. Focusing on the #hobbystreak and just trying to more active in the gaming community has helped me so much. #wargaming #BBCnews #mentalhealth #historicalminiatures

Day 1434 of the #hobbystreak and it was back to the SMASH PALACE!!!! Played Reya tonight and while I did not get to use her ability, I did get to hit for 12 Dominate with a Disenchantment of the Old Ones with a yellow Overswing on the board and knock out a player. Ouch! #fabtcg

I was think Ira also since I wanted an aggressive style of deck, but I have more of the cards needed for Aurora laying around.

I really have to make a decision by Saturday on which hero I should build for Living Legend for Philly. I never played the format, so not sure. I am leaning towards Aurora, since I never got try her out during her short time in CC. Still not sure though. #fabtcg

The best sport season of the year is starting soon, hockey season. Yes I know there were games last night, but it's Caps hockey time soon, and that is when the season starts for me. #washingtoncapitals #nhl

Had time this morning to do some painting on this warrior for Gangs of Rome on day #1433 of the #hobbystreak. After finding out bronze was used for the armour for gladiator, I based coated the greaves, helm and belt with some Spartan Bronze. #GangsofRome #miniaturepainting #historicalminiatures

I wanted to take advantage of the mild weather on day 1432 of the #hobbystreak and primed all the Anglo-Saxons (not all shown) I built as well as some of new Battletech Gothic minis. I want to get all my spray priming done before the autumn chill is here. #miniaturepainting #Pillage #battletech

It was a long day at the shop, and all I been looking forward was checking out the rules for Konflikt '47 by #WarlordGames. So after 12 hours of work, on day 1429 of the #hobbystreak, I can relax and read through the Core Rule book. #Konflikt47

It was a long day at work (close to 11 hours), and all I wanted to do was come home and do some painting. So on day 1427 of the #hobbystreak I had enough energy to put a basecoat of Kronos Flesh on some Gangs of Rome fighters. #GangsofRome #FootsoreMiniature #miniaturepainting #historicalminiatures
