This is the act of building tiny plastic space men and their vehicles. Sometimes it is the act of raising a house from the ground up. It all fits here.
In Aeronautica Imperialis: Wings of Vengeance, you take to the skies above the war-torn worlds of the Warhammer 40k universe. Commanding squadrons from the Imperial Navy or Orks. I had been interested in this tactical game since I saw the previews. But how was it?
As he (too) often does, Tyson bought some models. This time it was the Indomitus box, which came with some more boring marines as usual. I knew that those would be his since he likes that crap, maybe too much. The other half were some funky looking robot dudes, I told the husband maybe I should try my hand at them.
My Ulfenkarn Journey
Today I’m talking (well typing) about one of my favorite projects, Warhammer Quest Cursed City. The main focus of my writing will look at the models (since they are my favorite part), but I will also briefly touch on the game itself.
I know I am not breaking any new ground when I say that covid has brought a lot of changes into all of our lives. In my case, I went from working in a building with 200 people, to working alone, in my house under my cat’s judgmental gaze. I used to be able to stroll into the liquor store without fear, now I stroll in wearing a cloth mask like a damn beer ninja. I used to have faith in the relative intelligence of mankind… now, not so much.
With my Warhound finished, I would now put all of my efforts into finishing the diorama base. Which I had been working on at the same time as the titan. In addition to building the base, I would also craft a story for the scene I was making. When the dust settled, I was left with something I could be super proud of.
In Part 2 of my Warhound build I work on, and finish, the upper half of the model. Bringing this model to completion. I also finally figure out what I am going to do about my little problem with the titans left foot.
From June to November 2020, during the first year of COVID hell, I was working on a massive project. Titanic even. This is the first in a three part series detailing how I achieved my ever evolving vision for this project. From start to finish.
Has there ever been something that you were trying to do that, no matter how hard you tried, just seemed impossible? Like, the universe was actually trying it’s damnedest to prevent you from accomplishing it? For me, that was the Fire Raptor Gunship. This kit was cursed from day one. Did I let it get to me? F**K YES I DID!
It’s November.
Wait, It’s November? That can’t be right. Right? It was just January… Or was it July…
Part 6 wraps up this series about my year at the hobby desk.
And now the 3rd season of Covid. Somehow, still hard to believe.
For us, not much has changed at home. My wife was working from home. I was still working an alternate schedule. And the scope of my Titan project was also about to get much larger.
