It's been a funny old few weeks. I've photographed some incredible cars, travelled all the way down to Brighton to help chop some trees down for a friend who has broken his arm, pulled my longboard out of hiding because, well why not, longboards are awesome to ride, and... there was something else... ah yes, caught up with a friend I hadn't seen in years and ended up being tempted back in to the world of Warhammer 40,000.
My friends were playing 40K and I was obsessed with this table top next door! HAHA
This was about a month ago, now, and I've tumbled down a glorious rabbit hole. I'm a photographer by day so I'm regularly posting rubbish all over the internet. This little corner of the internet, being my website and full of images of the cars I photograph, will now also include a little hidden page. This page. It'll be my little place to write about my journey back in to a hobby that I left over twelve years ago and had slowly sold all my armies.
Coming back at the time I have seems to have had a little 'good timing' to it. As it turns out the 'new' edition of Warhammer 40,000 landed two weeks before I had my catch up so I was getting excited about the possibility of slowly building up an army. The choice may well have been given away with the 'temporary' title to the blog but you'll have to wait to find out exactly why I lent that way; that's for the next post.
THIS post is about trying to figure out what to call the page. I've not 100% decided what it's going to be called but I opened it up to Twitter and had some fantastic suggestions, my favourite being C'Tan Chatter and Chris' Chrome Corner! It's currently called Tales from the Crypt, but if you have an idea for a cooler name then let me know. Some of the best ones are listed below... the first being a link to the army I was most famous for in my earlier days.
Tomb kings ... in SPAAAACE!, Frosin's Fantastic Features, Musings of a Metal Man, The Frosin Wasteland, The Hobby Hall, Pages McPageface, Painting and Poetry - Necron Arts from the Past, Trazyn's Infinite Halls of Hobby, C'tan sprues... get it?? Cuttin!!, Nearly Ninety Thousand Necrons Later, Chris's Chrome Corner, Trapped in a Hobby Tesseract, Blue Chrome and Dancing Elves, Tales from the Chris, Necron Noises, Hobby Horse, Necron Natterings, You C'Tan do it!!, Fabulous Frosin's Finally Finished Fell Futuristic Flying Foes (WHAT?!?!)
So that's a quick post done to introduce you to this blog. I will no doubt pen the next post pretty quickly so I don't leave you in limbo for too long but... oh go on then, here's a sneak peek!
I managed to find ONE model that survived the clear out. Excitement level can continue
Well now you've got an idea of where I'm heading but the history of why and how they're going to be done has the potential to be a rather more interesting story. And it's one of those stories where you wish you had an iPhone fifteen years ago when you came up with the original colour scheme. It'd just be nice to have photographs of them.
I shall rectify that from now on, though, as I DO have an iPhone and, being a photographer, an awful lot of cool lighting kit and lenses to give these little metal terminators a little attention.
Thanks for reading, and if you want to follow me anywhere else – Twitter for instance – I'm easy to find. Just search Chris Frosin on any social media platform you fancy and I'll probably be there. Twitter is the best place to catch up with me, however, and will be where I let you know about these posts.
Until that time, I'm going to get a cuppa and some cake. Speak again soon
Chris
