Introductory Blog

For my introductory blog post I will just go into greater details on what this blog will be about.

This blog was created so I can share my work with others. I am a full time student at university but in my spare time I design and create props from swords to guns out of wood. This summer I should hope to have fairly regular updates from several of my projects.

The main reason I wanted to make a blog was for my Warhammer 40k army. I have been into the hobby since 1998 but went through phases of interest. With the new editions many new players are coming around and older players are resurfacing. I really want to put my nose to the grindstone and complete my army. My long term goal is the 4000 point apocalypse scale army I want. But first there are smaller tasks I must achieve. Like deciding on an official chapter name, chapter symbol, chapter banner, and name the Chapter Master and Company Captain. I would also like to achieve a 2000 point army so I can start playing in competitive tournaments and general weekend play.

So the goal of my blog is to work on my models and post regular updates of my progress. If I have a blog with a weekly or even bi-weekly update I will have encouragement to work and finish, especially if I get followers. I'll be working full-time this summer, plus with my prop making projects I don't want to burn myself out so I will just post Warhammer blogs once a week at minimum, but there will certainly be days where I have spare time to post random thoughts. Prop updates will be posted regularly throughout the projects.

I hope you all will enjoy my blogs as much as I will.
