2018 and the Year of the hobby!

So after a brief exchange on Whatsapp with my friend, I realised that despite firmly believing in never setting resolutions I do have a list of Hobby Goals that I'd like to hit this year.

  1. Work on the themed Hamelin crew with a view to finish by Dec'18
  2. Paint all the Wave 5 TT models as they become available
I think that will be the extent of my Malifaux painting this year, as you can gather from the Introduction post (here) I have a lot of projects on the go (most are at the not starting phase!) and I want to give them a go this year. These include:
  1. Paint my Burrows and Badgers crew ready for the Tournament in June
  2. Complete my Kingdom Death Monster starter set
  3. Build, and paint my Kingdom Death expansion sets 
  4. Build and paint the Shadespire crews
  5. Build terrain!
  6. Paint my remaining Guildball models for Farmers and Engineers
  7. Paint the Darklands stuff that I have squirreled away
I have tried to list these in order of priority but it will no doubt change as new shinies get released! I'll try and keep a broad spread of posts going each month to report on progress.

Welcome to the Wandering River

This blog is intended for me to document my thoughts on various aspects of my life and hobby, in a bid to try and add some structure to my days and the time spent on things that are important to me. The reason for the blog's title is two-fold: Its the name of an upgrade in the game Malifaux, the game I spend the most (too much?) time on It represents the lack of focus the Blog will have (as you read further you'll hopefully appreciate that!) What am I doing currently? Playing a lot of Malifaux  60 games to date this year with a 60% win rate (36 wins, 3 Draws, 21 Losses) Currently ranked 57th in UK Malifaux Rankings:  Adam's Rank Winning a 24 man tournament is a real highlight! One of the problems I'm experiencing is that perhaps I'm playing too much Malifaux, and the character of the game is getting lost on me as I come to see it more as a game and less of an experience to be had with a fellow player. More and more I look back to my days of playin

My Malifaux Journey

In this post I weave and wander through my history with Malifaux and how and where I am today! In the beginning.... Seamus was one of the characters (along with Lady J and Pandora) which drew me to Malifaux, as well as the card mechanic which now causes me to sneer at most dice-based games! Through them I got to experience some of the great game design that went into Malifaux and the incredible depth that comes from each model's abilities interacting with each other (admittedly some go off in Wonky directions but no game is perfect) and I just wanted to play more and more. As my friends and I settled on our factions, we each settled mainly on one character that we preferred to others. Andres was Som'er Tooth Jones (with a feck ton of Skeeters!), Jack was Hamelin (with a beautifully painted crew!), James with Lynch and me with Seamus. Our games felt like we were adding to the history of Malifaux (not unlike WFB where our own heroes would battle with and against legends of lo
