Welcome

Welcome to the Hobby Dungeon. My name is Andrew, and I set up this blog as a place to post some of my builds and paint jobs so they would be easier to share online. I'm definitely not a pro, and don't plan to be. This is mostly just a catalog for myself, but I'm always looking for feedback or ideas, so feel free to leave a comment on any of the projects you see.
 
Catch me on Instagram at The Hobby Dungeon.

Cheers,
Andrew

Lower your standards, have more fun.

  What started as a quick way for me to paint an army, has – I think – turned into my new approach for larger scale army building.   Part of the reason I am writing this is because I have had a lot of conversations lately with people who have had trouble getting a painted army to the table. I wanted to show that there’s a bunch of really easy ways to get an army done quick and make it look decently good. And this isn’t a speedpaint hack or a slap-chop guide – there’s no new fancy technique here. It’s really just about using a few high contrast colours and picking out bold details. It can be done incredibly quickly, even by a beginner, and it has a very strong style of its own. To set the stage a bit, I’ve been working on a massive Dwarf army for Warhammer: The Old World. It’s something like 6000 points before adding magic items – way too many models. Additionally, I made the decision that this army was going to be done using something approximating the 90’s ‘Eavy Metal s...

Help! Make Collaborative Art!

Hello friends - I would like your help. I would really like to do a collaborative art project, and that requires collaboration. Recently, I kitbashed a few models and wrote a little blurb to establish a setting, and it's been living rent free in my head. I could easily spend the next few weeks and months daydreaming about this place, and coming up with ideas about it (I'll be doing this anyway), but it sounded more fun to do this with a bit of company. So, this is an open invitation to participate. I'm looking for anything - miniatures, stories, music, art, sculptures, storytelling, historical analysis, interpretive dances, whatever tickles the fancy. I'd like to collect all of this art into a single blog post that can be shared as our collective world building project. Let's put a tentative deadline on this for December 31st - that might help motivate us - but I'll just keep adding any submissions to the blog post after the fact. Down below, I'm going to in...

Miniature Makers: A (not at all) Definitive List

For nearly 20 years, I have been captivated by the miniature hobby. For most of that time, the only company I was truly aware of, was Games Workshop. The giant in the room, GW certainly has an impressive range of sculpts and a strong design vision. In the last few years, I have become aware of a wide range of other companies, brands, and sculptors, who have their own unique visions about what miniatures are. This will be a living list of the miniature manufacturers that have been recommended to me, or that I have purchased from. It is a very diverse list. Some manufacturers focus on their own proprietary games, and some just sell bits. I have not ordered from all of these companies, so your mileage may vary!!! If there is a company that you love, and it is not listed here, drop me a line and I will add it to the list.
