Over my decade-and-a-half long relationship with this hobby I've found myself taking some extended breaks on occasion where I rarely paint and turn to other hobbies for a time.

Dark-Arts Studios has launched their very first Kickstarter featuring a variety of nightmarish figures. Is it a good deal, or a horror grasping for your money? https://stonetowerreviewsblog.wordpress.com/2016/09/28/kicksmart-devils-dungeon-by-dark-art-studios/

My custom miniature from Hero Forge arrived. How does it compare to the character creator's render? How is the quality and is it worth the price? https://stonetowerreviewsblog.wordpress.com/2016/09/16/review-hero-forge-part-2-the-miniature/
