Hello friends!
Another year is inexorably fading into history. Wars, diseases, political and social turmoil...
In terms of mniniatures and blogging, it was quite a stable year for me. I managed to stock up on entries until mid-2024, so there shouldn't be any downtime (if there ever was, hehe), and in fact there will be more entries from time to time.
I want to go more 'underground' and simply paint for pleasure and share what manages to create.
No hassle, no 'sponsored' entries. Zero. End.
✅What will be on the blog?
Certainly a lot of minis related to the Land of the Rising Sun, models for The Silver Bayonet and the Canada variety. There will also be the Medieval knights as well as the armies of Islam.
❌What won't happen?
Age of Sigmar (traditionally, as every year), Warhammer Old World and I'm afraid that in general there will be a minimal number of fantasy entries - I feel much more inclined to paint Ancient Greece or Rome than elves or dwarves.
And the most importantly - Thank you for all your visits, likes, comments and shares!
Below are links to all entries and selected photos.
