Photo Tutorial: Scratch building hostile forest terrain (Complete!)

Went on a bit of a boxing day spree at Michaels and decided to push up my plans for my first scratch-built terrain piece: a hostile forest. Hobbyists know that passion and energy drive any project. I've done enough grinds to know that you should never ignore an impulse when it pops up. So taking this advice I embarked on a mysterious journey using a bunch of new materials and improvised techniques.

The project and this tutorial log are now complete! Took a long time since I was not on a schedule, but was really fun overall.



EdiTutorial: A look back at the past year - Part 1

Some time late last year, around the holiday season, I was fortunate enough to come across two 40K armies that truly inspired me. imm0rtal reaper's Red Scorpions and Michael Knightley's Grey Knights forever changed the lenses with which I view army concepts. One of these armies I eventually bought; the other started a chain of events that led me to undertake a grinding rebuild of my Grey Knights force.

Allow me to indulge in a stroll down memory lane as I recount a few lessons learned since last December. Having only been in the hobby since April 2012, that moment marked a substantial milestone in my journey through the magical universe of sprues and glues.
