A Warhammer 40k wargaming hobby blog of a Games Workshop fanboy. Painting to a table standard.
Work has been insanely busy of late, so I have not found the time to get much painting in.
My cityscape scenery has been left in an almost finished state, but before I move on to more urban buildings, I need to finish a project that has already been started.

I have finally settled on a Space Marine Chapter after years of flipping between several.
