    Quarter 1 Week 13 Update: Skin of the Teeth!

    Hello and welcome back to the final update for quarter one of the second year of Hammer the Backlog, my ongoing project to clear my unpainted backlog of Warhammer fantasy and 40 minis before the plastic in them breaks down and they disappear harmlessly back into the atmosphere. A little environmentalist joke there, to get…

    Quarter 1 Week 12 Update: Cutting it Close!

    Hello and welcome back to a rather inglorious week for Hammer the Backlog, the weekly Warhammer miniature painting, productivity and accountability blog. This week was not a fabulous one for backlog hammering, with too many things piling up, leading to a bit of a motivation crash and a bit of red in the ledger. Let’s…

    Quarter 1 Week 11 Update: From the Jaws of Defeat!

    Another week, another half Roman, half renaissance man on a horse. Welcome back to Hammer the Backlog, the weekly mini painting, accountability and productivity blog all about staying up late and getting up early to make sure you get all of your toy soldiers painted! That all might sound a little bit dramatic, but with…

    Quarter 1 Week 8 Update: The Lost Leopard Legion

    Well hello there. Welcome back to Hammer the Backlog, the weekly Warhammer mini painting, productivity and accountability blog. This week I fully recovered from my gastrointestinal distress of last week, and there was a bank holiday, so I got a lot done, and in good time too. Perhaps the biggest thing was that I played…

    Quarter 1 Week 6 Update: I’ve Got that Skinking Feeling Once Again

    Thank you for coming on board with Hammer the Backlog, the weekly Warhammer mini painting, accountability and productivity blog. A truncated week this week, split by a lovely four days in real life Bretonnia means that slightly less than a full week’s models got painted, but what did get painted I am very happy with.…
