Hey.
We know a lot of Warseer folk have lost their project blogs and records of work.
Many of us here appreciate the love, laughs and history that went into those threads, and how hard the prospect of starting over must be.

So let us say, welcome guys and gals.
Welcome to an opportunity to show a whole new crowd what you're made of. To have hundreds of eyes see things they wouldn't have, if you'd not shown up.
What things make you tick, and what skills are you proud of?

Please, tell us about your work a little, and what you hope your future projects will be.
What we can expect to see from you, and if you have a thread, blog or gallery link it up!

Dakka members, come say hello!

And no, we don't want to hear any tales of forum moderation woes in this topic.

Hello Warseerers- Warseers? Er...People from Warseer! Incredibly sorry to hear that your previous web-site home got taken down, but I'm absolutely sure you will enjoy it here!

I look forward to more grand pieces of work you Warseerers(Here I go again...) are known for producing!

Welcome Warseerererers!

It must be pretty disappointing to lose all your blogs and pics. Hopefully you have backups of the pics at least.

Looking forward to seeing a whole bunch of new blogs appearing!

Good idea. Link to your new painting blogs so we can all see what you can do!

Great idea, Buttery - and welcome to our Warserious brethren joining us. Please do link to your offsite blogs, but also feel free to start Plogs here as well to share your work.

Welcome to dakka dakka.

We can leave this as as master link to warseer blogs and help get some new traffic to the blogs to help them going?

Add a brief description of the work you do say, space marines, a titan, eldar or more.
Nice and easy for people to find what interests them.

If buttery wants to of course.

That sounds like an idea, jhe. So long as folk don't think I'm being patronising.

We'd be able to tell who's relatively new by the topics having few pages, ordinarily. But knowing who is rebuilding entirely and dealing with that frustration means we can cheer on a bit more.

Not that way . I ment as way to get the blogs a good start and abit of exposure.
Nothing's more disheartening than getting no replies when you post hard work.

Let us help the warseer community joining dakka

Arr. I got you, I just always overthink.

Hello dakka dakka people. I am a past ... warseeren.

I took a year off from hobbying and when I came back I found that Warseer was gone. I lost two plogs in the attack on Warseer. A muddy Vostroyan plog and a swell 30k Death Gaurd plog. After much frustration and I wont lie, a tear, I decided I wanted to continue my Death Guard plog as I loved them the most.

I lost my pictures and only had back ups for a few. I also like to write some narrative to my armies and I lost the stories I told for the models as well. On top of that, during a recent move, I had several models injured and damaged.

I decided to hold my head high and carry on and learn from my fallen plog brotheren. I ordered a Mortarion and decided to rebuild and grow. It should be a fun journey and I'm excited to start on a clean slate.

Welcome! I'm glad to hear you've chosen to keep your chin up.
Good to hear of a Vostroyan lover, not enough of you about.
I hope you can in time feel you've built something good here, too.

sorry to hear that dflinch! Glad you're going to move forward and start again, looking forward to seeing it!

Welcome dflinch. Looking forward to seeing some of your stuff. Losing all the stuff is a bitter blow but hopefully you'll feel right at home here and can rebuild.

As usual I'm tied to my paint desk and behind - what happened to Warseer that everyone lost all their stuff?

Hey outta curiosity has anyone the url of their previous warseer blog somewhere? As you could potentially grab your pics etc from the google cached version of the site :V

Hi, I used to have a plog on Warseer under the name Grudgedesign. I actually more or less moved here after the last big outage.

Here is my dakkadakka plog: 'Ere we go

Sad to see all the amazing plogs on Warseer gone, I found so much great inspiration there.

Warseer refugee here used to have a Plog in the random section.

Hope to see some of the old faces join here as there were some great logs with Super Dungeon Explore, Malifaux and Kingdom Death stuff not long before it went down the first time this year.

Well I am Captain Brown...I was the moderator for the WarSeer Modelling, Painting and Terrain (MP&T) Section. Sadly, I have no back-ups of any of my PLOGs (Elysians, Necromundian (Guard), Sisters of Battle, Tau, Orks, Eldar and others). I had a lot of painted armies completed over the years and have the images, but that is not the same as a complete PLOG with the interaction of other members. I have started moving some my images over to Dakka, but there are over 8,000 of them so I am only slowly moving those of finished painted models. I have not started a PLOG yet as I am still waiting to hear if WarSeer can at least be brought up as a read-only site as the server was backed up...main reason for the delay is that all the techpriests have left the gaming scene and have no interest in doing a rebuild.

I actually have been a member of Dakka for quite a long time, joining after Dakka's troubles in 2005...but since I was so busy on WarSeer I did not post over here very often. Usually only conversing with folks at the Dakka Swap Shop for things I was looking for and did not see on WarSeer's Trading Forum. I used the forums to trade for old, unwanted models and built my armies that way as I do not mind the older models.

Cheers,

CB

Hail, Dakkaites! I, too, am a Warseerianist.

Captain Brown! Oh, man, your threads were a massive inspiration to me over on Warseer.

I lost (many) Plogs so I thought I'd start up a master chronicle on here - link's in my sig.

Welcome guys!
As said, I'm so so sorry about your losses, and I'll update the top post in this topic when I am on a real computer.

I was just about to restart my World Eaters plog on Warseer, so I guess I'll do it here instead. I feel sadder about losing touch with some of the Warseers, hope they are all doing well.

And hi Captain Brown!

Here's my plog link: Army of the Imperium. Updated today with pictures of my Drokharan Taureg Imperial Guard.

Hi Fellow Warseer refugees- nice to see a few familiar names popping up. I haven't got my Plog going here yet but I'll probably out something up in a couple of weeks when work is less hectic. And thanks for the welcome Dakka people! I've floated around here for a wee while, mostly in the rumour section but modelling and painting is mostly my thing.I was thinking of adding a plot here as well as Warseer before the shutdown-might as well go ahead with it now!

The more of us the merrier, I say!

Lost a bunch of logs myself.

Thankfully I hosted all my pics off-site so thy're still available. Any text is gone unfortunately.:(

I do have acces to the flavor text I wrote for my World Eater log since I used to write that in a text document and copy over so I have restarted that one on Dakka now.

I do quite miss the way Warseer had the painting forum split in sub-parts. I understand that there's a value in giving everyone's logs the same exposure but it does also mean that it's utterly hopeless to ever search for something.

If it was at least possible to search only the titles of threads, of it there was a tag-system similar to how the gallery works...

Warseer painter here, name was Draconis

Here's the link to my blog I started here at Dakka: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/700248.page

Currently I'm painting Eldar, Necrons, Salamanders, and hopefully soon 1ksons. Feel free to rate my models in my gallery, and criticism or suggestions are always welcome. I'll also offer any help and/or advice you need.

Hello everyone,
I'm a fellow Warseerian refugee. I lost 2 plogs - All things Chaos, that I hadn't added to in probably about 3 years and my Index Xenos plog which was mostly Tau Empire (a very dirty battle-worn Vior'la sept force on a desert world setting) but was going to be for other things like my Craftworld Eldar/Harlequins (a small contingent was painted a few years back) and Orks (a number of conversions started and a huge pile of sprues but pretty much all still grey plastic) if I ever got round to them. I'd also taken part in many of the Tale of 40K Painters projects, something like 6 out of the last 9 years since 2007. As recently as mid July I'd posted some pics of my finished Ghostkeel in my Index Xenos plog, then I went on holiday and came back to no Warseer. There were a huge number of threads that I'd drawn inspiration from over the years, not least of all being Lewb81's winter Tau drop troops and his crazily awesome Ogres conversion thread. I will miss Warseer but hopefully this can be a new home for my hobby adventures.
Cheers.

Yeah, there were some amazing plogs on Warseer. Apologist's True Scale Ultramarines, for example, or Harry's incredible Warhammer old school plog... Hopefully they can be rescued.

Hopefully you have the old files on laptops or such, be cool to see what works where created.

they sound impressive,

Anything by Apologist was basically an auto-follow.

Welcome all Seerinites (see I can make names up too) to Dakka, happy to have you here and I'm very excited to see your projects. Some of you have already posted links so I'll be browsing those momentarily.

Sorry to hear about your old home going down but I hope you find it nice and cozy here, we've kept the hearth warm for you
