'A Tale of Four Gamers'

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Thirteen Warband bases painted, highlighted, edged and pva sealed.

[FierceKitty]

Gordon and Leslie stuff done; Hakkapellis next.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Stands now flocked, scatter and tufts later.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Bases of barbarians done, but clump scatter too wet to photograph until tomorrow.
Also lots of progress on Mark's 18mm Dragoons and Chasseurs.

[Leman]

Belgians on to bases today - made better progress than expected.

[Bodvoc]

Wood Elf riders completed.. 

Techno, are the elf mounted archers still on caparisoned horses, or are they going to be on an unarmoured horse? (which would be my preference).

[Techno]

Still all caparisoned, Bodvoc.....Sorry !
Cheers - Phil

[Bodvoc]

Ah well, it was worth asking.

[FierceKitty]

Swedes done. 8th Army, here I come - hi, granddad!

[Techno]

Didn't get a lot done yesterday.

Eyes were playing slightly silly sods, and not focusing properly, so there wasn't a lot of point in trying to push the putty around.
Cheers - Phil

What they don't tell you is that with each promotion one of your faculties diminishes.

It starts off small. From cadet it's likely that you become unable to distinguish taupe from fawn. As the promotions get bigger, so does the loss.  Orcs last promotion led to hearing loss in the higher registers in his right ear. Fenton is unable to type with the little finger on his left hand.

For some people it is small things scattered across a range of attributes. Things they wouldn't notice, or just put down to aging. For others it seems concentrated in one area. I am particularly struck by peculiar thought processes or whims. Perhaps it starts off taking what we can best afford to lose, but the hunger overtakes it and it begins to devour our very essence.

What happens to this lost energy, this drawn away power? There are theories. 

All I'm saying is that Leon looks very good for a 72 year old. Not only that, he can type "votes added" lightning fast using just his little finger and is often heard complaining about dog whistles. 

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

But I'm fine...

There's a definite gap between perception & reality included

Unless... you're one of them?!
