    Quarter 2 Week 4 Update: Dwarven Resilience

    Hello and welcome back to Hammer the Backlog, the weekly miniature painting blog where I use productivity and accountability methods to get all of my thousands of euro worth of unpainted fantasy and sci-fi minis painted before the singularity renders human existence pointless. It was a pretty straightforward week this week, focussed entirely on getting…

    Quarter 2 Week 4 Update: The Dawi-Zharr Don’t Exist

    Hi gang, welcome back to week 4 of quarter 2 of year 2 of Hammer the Backlog, Mr. Michael J. Leonard’s attempt to paint his thousand year backlog of warhammer minis before the inevitable robot revolution. I had a lovely, fun week here at Hammer the Backlog central, with some very enjoyable models to paint…

    Quarter 2 Week 3 Update: It’s a Game of 3 Halves

    Yes, I know I used that same joke in last week’s headline, but it’s extra fitting this week. Welcome back to Hammer the Backlog, the weekly Warhammer miniature painting, productivity and accountability blog. This week was a real week of two halves, with models from two different games painted, one rock completed and another started…

    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…
