Old stuff day

So it's that time of year again, Old Stuff Day. Now, the idea of Old Stuff Day is to showcase some of your older posts, ones that you do t think got the credit that they deserved but it's also to showcase other posts from other bloggers, which you also think deserves recognition.

So, I went back through my posts to see what old posts I might like to showcase and it was an interesting experience! I started this blog over 5 years ago! One of the first posts was about my eldest starting nursery! As I sit here cradling my youngest while my eldest is at school, the middle child is currently at nursery but will be starting school in August. Yet one thing hasn't changed, as I'm still talking about a lack of hobby time!

It was really hard to actually pick a post or two to put up on here, however, I think I've found one.

When 8th was the next big thing in the GW pipe line, I did a series of posts about my thoughts and hopes for various factions going forward in to 8th. The two guard posts, about the guard themselves a d another post about the Militarum Tempestus, who had been split to make them a stand alone subfaction. The two posts have since become my two most viewed posts, where as the one I did for the marines has languished somewhere near the bottom if the views pile. So dispite the fact that it has absolutely no relevance to the current game or anything else, here is my choice for old stuff day;

8th edition Marines

Now, I would also like to take this time to point people in the direction on another blog, one that sadly seems to have gone out of print, so to speak, Cadia's Creed. Now as I said there hasn't been any updates since the release of 8th but I wanted to highlight it none the less, as it was the first blog I really started reading and as the inspiration for finally getting my own blog going. So, for a bit of personal nostalgia on old stuff day;

I spent quite a while looking back through my posts from the last year for a post to stick up here for a second look but I had quite a job finding something I felt was actually worth while posting. In the end I came across a post that I had all but forgotten about and thought that it was worth reposting. The orriginal post was here; starting em young, but I have reposted it in its entirety for ease and convenience.  

So, the other week, the little man was pestering me to play with the "little men", so we went upstairs to play with some old push fit style (possibly Assault on Black Reach models?) models. At this point he started asking about painting, so after a few more days of pestering, i gave in and let him paint a few models. Now, i was thinking that he could paint one of the little push fit ones, but the little man had other ideas. Que the DV bikes. Oh, and because the litle man was having a go, the young lady had to join in!

Of course, as the kids were having a little go, I though that I would too. This is the first draft of the Dark Guardians incomplete paint scheme.

Old stuff day - march 2nd

March 2nd is Old Stuff Day

Just a heads up March 2nd is Old Stuff Day A few years ago now warhammer39999 wanted to join a movement to rediscover lost gems from the world of hobby blogs and it's still going strong today. To choose one or more of your own blogposts that you're most proud of, or may not have got the attention it deserved or any thing that may warrant some necromantic blogpost bothering. On top of that you are to share blogposts from other bloggers which you think deserves the same spotlight of attention before they're returned to their dark nightmare infested slumbers.

So if you have a blog don't forget to root through your old posts and rediscover those hidden gems. Feel free to use the Old Stuff Day poster by Firstkeeper from DeviantArt.
