    Quarter 2 Week 9 Update: Brokeback Mountain

    Hello there! Welcome back to Hammer the Backlog, the weekly mini painting, accountability and productivity blog in which I, Mick, attempt to paint nearly 30 years of accumulated tabletop wargaming models before my hands fall off. It has been a tricky few weeks at Hammer the Backlog central, with a single large project taking up…

    Quarter 2 Week 8 Update: Who’s Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses?

    Am I dangerous, because I am honest? Or is this just another weekly update for Hammer the Backlog, the Warhammer mini painting, accountability and procrastination blog? Wait, did I say procrastination just there? I meant productivity. No procrastination here! Without further ado, let’s take a look at this week’s scorecard, courtesy of the now back…

    Quarter 2 Week 7 Update: I’ve Made a Grave Error

    Hello fellow ghouls, welcome back to this Halloween update of Hammer the Backlog, the weekly  mini painting productivity and accountability blog. You join me this week on a very busy week, with Halloween and my lovely lady wife’s birthday double teaming me with distraction, leading to (or perhaps just exasperating) a bit of a muck…

    Quarter 2 Week 6 Update: Get Down Off There!

    Well hello there fellow mages! Welcome back to Hammer the Backlog, my weekly accountability, productivity and warhammer painting blog.

    Quarter 2 Week 5 Update: Phew

    I was going to quote Scott of the Antarctic as the opener for this week’s blog, to represent the level of hardship and toll that painting these five models in a week had taken on me. But then I read the damned dairy and that felt a bit extreme to be honest. So instead, welcome…

    Quarter 2 Week 4 Update: Elvis

    I’m all bloody shook up this week by the amount of time and effort it took to paint up these five Elvis. Elvis is the plural of Elves, right? Welcome back to Hammer the Backlog, the weekly mini painting blog which uses accountability and productivity methods to help me get 25 years of hoarded miniatures…

    Hi there! Welcome back to Hammer the Backlog. Elves! Sorry, it’s been a tough week painting very intricate models and every waking moment and thought has been consumed by ELVES! Sorry again.

    Hello and welcome back to the final week of quarter one of year 3 (!) of Hammer the Backlog. A bittersweet week this week, with all of our panting targets for the quarter hit and a couple of great armies completed, but at the same time a rock killed this quarter, the stress of learning…
