Back to blogging...

Although I never ceased using my universe-specific blogs (links on top right hand side), I stopped this one to move over to Instagram.

I've decided to move back again !

 

Instagram is nice enough, but one is quickly sucked into the world of endless doomscrolling, and it turns out to not be very productive at all.

Whereas on a blog, you can choose what you want to follow, and you also don't end up with endless unasked-for pictures of near identical-looking skimpily clad ladies in your feed (well, unless somewhat launches an Amazon Army Painting Challenge, of course).

 

I've decided, however, to change the focus of the blog a little bit.  I'm a bit fed up of posting photos that don't look much like what I just painted, despite my endless efforts to take better ones.  I found that taking a photo with a scenery background worked better, but once I have finished a figure, I'm more eager to move on to the next one than to get a load of scenery out and start faffing around with lighting.

Noticing that did give me a good idea though.  I will focus the blog much more on battle reports, which is also an opportunity to show photos (good or bad) of my own figures and those of my friends in action.  With the scenic background already helpfully set up  : )  The reports themselves will be very short, mainly since I tend to do full AARs on my universe-specific blogs.  So it will be a few lines of text and some hopefully not too poor photos of lead trying to wreak havoc on other pieces of painted lead.

I will also no doubt talk a bit about ongoing projects, show some unboxing pics (oooh nude lead !) and discuss my plans for the goodies inside.

I'll also get round to doing something I've been meaning to do for ages (like, years), and link up to all the blogs I like to follow. 

Glad to be back and I hope this new format will continue to bring some interest or inspiration to any who come to visit !
