It's time for another look back on the ten years I have been blogging. 2014 was an excellent year to be sure and I had lots of painted items to choose from. At the start of the year I painted up a
block of 36 skeletons for my Vampire Counts army, quickly followed by a
couple of characters. A few weeks later I painted up a
dwarf character, one of my finest ever beards I think. My chaos army got some love too, with
marauders,
marauder horsemen and a
chariot added. I even managed a unit of finely painted
high elf archers. All this in the first half of the year - if only every year could be this productive!
Historic gaming was becoming more of a staple for me and I finally found a range I was very happy with -
Drabant Miniatures Vikings. I also added a few more
plastic dark age warriors and some
metal archers to my growing collection.
But it was a further expansion of my Lord of the Rings collection that really pleased me in this year. Having collected a decent size Orc force, I made a start on a small Rohan warband. And then later in the year I painted up these dwarf rangers - and having visited Scotland that summer decided that they would look really good in kilts!
I cannot imagine any year being surpassed by this one, in terms of the quantity and quality I achieved. It was peak hobby performance in 2014, a fine vintage.
