The Hobby Table : 9-19-18

Happy Wednesday everyone!  The hobby has been picking up steam as we head into Autumn, despite the ongoing summer weather that is hanging around preventing me from some priming.  This past week I have managed to get a lot built, play a game, and finally get to work on my Realms at War project.  On top of all that I have been bitten by the Warhammer Champions bug after picking up a few booster packs and the Order Starter Deck at NOVA a few weeks back.  While none of my local shops have begun stocking the game I have been playing a lot of games via the App on my phone.  The game is really fun and unique and I am hoping to get the game going in my area soon.

Community All-gates : 9-17-18

Hey Everyone!  Welcome to the "Community All-gates", the weekly feature on The Realm Gate Blog where every Monday I plan to highlight something or someone from around the Age of Sigmar and Miniature Painting Community.  It might be an Event, a YouTube Channel, Blog, Army List, Model, Hobby Project, or anything else that catches my eye.  Today I want to the upcoming Armies on Parade.  The event happens every year at official Games Workshop and Warhammer Stores across the world.  It is great motivation to get an army painted and get a bit creative with a nice Display Board for your force.  I highly recommend you join up if you have one happening in your area.

Age of Sigmar Army Concept : The Ether-Void Covenant

The Mortal Realms are terrifying and wondrous places full of all manner of beings fighting it out in The Age of Sigmar.  Humans, Aelves, Orruk, Duardin, Undead, Daemons, and gods are all fighting over souls and the power they bring to their perspective goals.  Some factions work to bind The Mortal Realms together more tightly while others are trying to rip them apart as they spin through the ether of raw magic.  The races worship one god or another and are promised rebirth, damnation, or possible a heaven of sorts.  Let's explore the idea that there are beings across the races who might not be keen on any of these promises and when their mortal life is over, wish for nothingness above other godly promises.  Today I want to examine a "shower thought" I had recently about a new faction for Age of Sigmar who follow the Ether-void and the nothingness it promises to one's soul and what an army for that faction might look like.

The Hobby Table : 9-12-18

Happy Wednesday everyone.  If you recall last weeks Hobby Table you will know I have a few small projects sitting on my hobby table for a local league, Armies on Parade, and Realms at War.  Thankfully these are all small projects without much urgency to get them completed in a hasty fashion.  Sadly, the lack of immediate need to complete these projects means I haven't done much more than look at them over the past week while thinking to myself "I should start these".  What I have managed over the past week is adding a few more projects of little urgency to my hobby table and do a bit of housekeeping with some swag from NOVA.  It is not exciting, but I can assure you there will be a flurry of activity coming soon as the events begin to draw close.
