Right, for those of you who are new coming to my blog, I previously had a blog specifically designed to keep track of my Arena characters. I talked about their backstory, their matches, and then ranted when they lost (followed by some editing the day after.)

Now that the Summer is looming closer, I now feel it is a good time to come back to the blog that ganed so much popularity back in the day (well, half a year ago). Like beore, I will post up each of my Arena characters and provide ...

Once I set down my brushes and pack up my miniatures, my desire for whatever project I'm working on seems to die immediately. By ...

About 7 years ago, I was initially introduced to miniature gaming upon seeing someone reading an old Sisters of Battle codex. After talking about it for a bit, it sounded interesting, and I started actually looking at the miniatures in my local hobby shop.
