If the 'Don't paint' wins by a substantial majority, I will follow that course.

Seascapes with watercolours are popular
If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

I'm surprised how strong the don't paint vote is.

I normally take a some modelling stuff on holiday - thought normally 28mm plastic kits to assemble as they are less messy, and need less good light. Times I have taken painting stuff it's usually been too much effort for the return.

I have a special Holiday desk lamp with a long  extension lead  (as there are never power points in the right place) for painting on holiday. I even took stuff to Florida a couple of years ago.  -  Mrs Orcs TOLD me to. (Yes I am very Lucky) 

I do try to take stuff that is fairly robust and only needs a few colours though.

A holiday is a time to enjoy the things you enjoy.

Enjoy your wives and your concubines and those that you can hold with your right hand, but do not surrender to them that which gives you pleasure. If they say to you "but we are on holiday and it is time for family" say "I shall apportion my time appropriately. Some I shall give to my wives and my concubines and those that I hold with my right hand, and some I shall give to eating and to sleeping and to washing, but some part I shall reserve for the which gives me pleasure."

If i could take a couple of 20 something concubines with me I would happily give the painting a miss! :d

Or the large wound where Mrs Orcs has removed my crown jewels- Actually that would not be the case, when you go on holiday none of the knives are sharp.

At that age they're too inexperienced. Give trained regulars over raw volunteers any day.

How about concubines that can also paint wargames figures?

I have several units painted by my wife. And our mistress has promised to do us a regiment too.

Looks like it's nothing, then Barbarians. So that's what I shall do, a few nights of nothing, then some barbarians. ;)

Just watched the new Conan (dire film) and Troll Hunter (so bad it's good).
Barbarians are definitely getting done! ;)
