The wargaming equivalent of "A good friend will help you move, but a true friend will help you move a body"

Tzitzimitleh are nearly done; 2nd apprentice warriors awaiting the coming of the great paintbrush.

Yup

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

7 bases of Renaissance Spanish cavalry assembled and milliputted, 66 bases of dark aged foot milliputted so they can be 'marsh effect' based too.
Spare milliputt used to assemble 7 bases of Olmec allies for the Tlexcalans... 3 more to do.
2 28mm building banners an old friend made for Gangs Of Rome terrain, used, flags rescaled (from 8" long to 1.1cm), printed, crossbarred and attached to my Sassanid Persian catafracts, then parts and bars painted. They might just feature 'My Little Ponies'...

Some new river sections started over the weekend, with banks all painted and ready for flock. Before that I will paint the 'water' and then give it 4 - 5 coats of lacquer, spread over next week.

This evening I attempted to undercoat the third apprentice warriors, the first eagle warriors, and the first tecquihuahqueh, who defy translation as far as I can see but had taken five captives each; spray ran out before half time. There goes my weekend of rushing three new regiments through basic training.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

32 olomi base coated and inked for Pete last night, not much else done due to Strictly and Killing Eve!

[Steve J]

A lot of scratch built terrain making yesterday and base painting today. Drybrushed highlights later on tonight if base coat dry enough.

[FierceKitty]

Tequihuahqueh are about half done; not bad, given than my weekend involved a traumatic visit to the dentist.

Not good !

My teeth were fine for 35 + years after my 'childhood' dentist filled virtually ALL of my 'back teeth'.
After that....I went for about 5 to 6 years going to the original dentist, where I was told....." Nope...nothing needs to be done."....So I gave up bothering going...and I never had any problems, at all....Truly.

Some time (8-10 years ago)....an old 'mercury' filling came out, causing a fair amount of angst.... So I went to a local dentist, asking...."Can you take that particular tooth out, to stop the pain."

Dr 'Mengele' told me the tooth didn't need to come out...(Much more money for him, in doing fillings)....and he also filled two other teeth, which weren't causing me any problems, at all.

All the new fillings came out in less than two months...(And because he'd gone totally overboard with the drilling....leaving a tiny little shell of 'tooth'....They've all cracked off since.)

So I assumed they were just trying to con me into paying for dental insurance.....(Do a crap job...so I'd have to go back all the time.)

Dr Mengele seems to have 'de-nerved' all the teeth that he b*ggered up.....So I don't get any pain, as such.

I should probably made a claim against the practice......I'll never go near a dentist again.

Traumatic and Dentist - two words that don't pair well!

[Norm]

I have given up wargaming all together and am now dedicating all of my free time to working out how to get a 21 years old body again.

Experiment 28 has just failed - eating one and half bars of Ritter chocolate - my knees and back still hurt and now I feel sick as well.

other than that, a pleasant Sunday afternoon!


Every time I go to the dentist, the dentist politely says 'have you been having any problems' and I politely say 'no'  - I mean, why would you say anything else!

[Steve J]

Having had plenty of work done on my teeth since I was very, very young, a visit to the dentist doesn't bother me one jot.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Two teeth out this year (unopposed wisdom teeth, described as 'pointless teeth) and that's it apart from three fillings in the 80s...

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Otomi done, photos later.
Also painted 10 Late Roman cataracts catafracts and 8 horse archers I needed for tonight's game, but not had time to finish basing them up.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

In 10mm, 8 Late Roman cavalry, 4 AWI British, and in 15mm 20 Mounted crossbows finished and varnished before lunch today.

[FierceKitty]

3rd apprentice warriors done, second unit of the Jaguar Knights begun.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Four colours on the 6mm batch!
