World's Edge Wargaming

I recently painted some models for GW's The Fang painting competition in the beginning of February. I have planned on doing an elven army to use in any of the various skirmish systems (Saga, Dragon Rampant, AoS and the new Erewhon game from Warlord games that I just pre-ordered). For that I have collected various older elves from GW and my intention is to use the nice Oathmark elf kit for the majority of the force. For these elves however it was strictly GW parts as I was about to take them to the Warhammer store. The problem was that I've got allergic to the massive weapons that the WH models carry due painting historical stuff and infinity models for past few years. Luckily the old elven spearmen kit has quite small swords and I also had a spare Orcrist from a plastic Gandalf on my desk. One of the models got a dagger from a dark eldar warrior, but I'm not sure about the results as it is huge for a dagger and very impractical for a sword, but I guess it works as some sort...

I got my gaming board and terrain home and decided to take some photos with thematic backdrops as it was a sunny day. Dwarves: Southrons New models (first in year 2019) And their friends from Mordor And finally my 15mm 30 Years war Swedish army in its current form: 

As many know, today is the first day of the year 2019, which means that it's good time to dwell in past and sum up what happened in 2018. Last year was the most productive year I have ever had painting wise. On the other hand I didn't read many books or watched movies, so it's out from something. However painting an hour or two every other evening after my son has went to sleep really keeps the production up. Also have been listening a lot of podcasts, audiobooks and audio dramas, which are nice. I used to watch tv series while painting, but never knew what was happening as  I mostly listened them, so this is certainly a better way. It's amazing how well you can concentrate on listening things while you work with your hands. Gaming wise it was a quite normal year. Could have played more, but in the end I got something like 30-40 games, which is not too bad considering a small child and a job that requires bit too much traveling for my taste. We had a two part campai...
