It’s been a while!

Well well well.

It’s been a while, hasn’t it. Nearly 14 weeks since my last post!

Just to put all your minds at rest I am not dead.

Time for a change – Part Two

So after deciding to take on a change in army I choose Skorne.

I asked you, however, to decide what I should paint first. Votes have been counted & verified and your decision was……

To paint a Warlock!
