We started, as usual, from hobby logistics and trying to figure out when we could actually meet up. There was talk of Rome, coming back from the mountains, maybe squeezing in a game on Thursday, maybe Friday, maybe something unusual...
Stas dropped a small but very satisfying update into our chat recently: the fourth Ork boy is done. And honestly, this is exactly the kind of hobby progress we love seeing — not just finished models, but all the experimenting,...
Stas dropped a little painting progress update that we immediately understood on a spiritual level: the moment when the metallics go on really is one of the most satisfying parts of the whole process.
Painting progress, hobby peer pressure, and one very important unfinished detail
There’s a moment in this hobby that never really gets old: when a miniature stops being just plastic and starts to feel alive. Stas summed it up perfectly the other day — painted minis just come alive in a completely...
Stas dropped a proper work in progress update into the chat and, honestly, the reaction was immediate: noooice, they look awesome, and generally the kind of energy we like to see in a hobby group.
A small painting test that turned into a useful comparison
We love this kind of hobby testing: same model, two different approaches, and a side-by-side comparison before the process is even finished.
We had one of those very good hobby evenings where a couple of painted models suddenly turned into a full-on motivation boost for everyone else.

Stas has officially entered the “slowly, slowly” phase of army-building — which, as we all know, is still infinitely better than leaving boxes untouched on the shelf.
A dangerous amount of Spearhead browsing
We love those little hobby moments when one person shows a finished detail, everyone goes “damn, that looks good”, and five minutes later we’re already discussing how to copy the technique on our own minis.
We had one of those very relatable hobby chats recently: a bit of list-building sticker shock, a bit of rules confusion, and then straight into the really important stuff — paints, brushes, and how to make painting go faster without...
We had one of those very relatable hobby chat moments recently: one part “that unit looks absolutely awful to play against”, one part “which obviously means we now want to try it ourselves”, and one part “why does this painting...
We had one of those classic hobby chat moments at the end of May: one link dropped, one box revealed, and suddenly the whole conversation turned into army-building math.
One rules question, and suddenly the whole army looked different
We had one of those classic hobby chat moments: one person mentions Salamanders, someone else asks if that just means “more Marines again”, and then suddenly the whole conversation swerves hard into rules discussion.
