Welcome Fellow Grognards and Young Guard!
It has been a almost three months since my last post, so this will be the first post for 2025!
Having said that, it doesn't mean I haven't been busy in the hobby.
Looking back on 2024 and early 2025, I have spent a great deal of time building miniatures that I have 'rescued' from eBay, shedding my closet and floors of boxed treasures. My goal was to see exactly what I have, what the envisioned armies were looking like and also prevent myself from re-purchasing something I already have, just because I couldn't find it! Those who have moved around a bit, as I have, can surely sympathize as you likely have more than one toaster floating around because you didn't feel like digging through all of the boxes in your garage from the last move so buying another toaster was a justified spend. LOL!
Anyway, enough about toasters and back to miniatures. I have been painting regularly again and working hard to finish the great Tiger Claw Space Marine project. I believe I started purchasing and building miniatures for this army over two years ago and finally am coming to the end of painting the forces. It has been a labor of love (or an act of insanity), but I'm so close to seeing it to completion.
Below are some pictures of the latest installments and the first model count for the year. I am actively working on another 30 Tactical Marines and should have them finished shortly. Behind them sits three Speeders, five space marine bikes and one attack bike to complete the army.
For now, I hope you enjoy the pics of my Command Squad, Scout Squad, and Devastator Squad.
The end of the Tiger Claw project is within site. Until next time...GAME ON!
