'A Tale of Four Gamers'

[FierceKitty]

My recruits are waiting for their drill sergeant to recover from a devilish 'flu.

[Nosher]

Completed ten 'pin markers' for Bolt Action and started work on another 8 late war germans also for BA. Also managed to flock the bases of two dozen or so 10mm WoTR Warmaster stands which I hadn't found time to get around to.

Productive evening.

Sadly no game

Moustaches/Sand/water/pva from 10:15 until 2am, that was a long evening! What took the time was the 30 casulty markers and moving sand round on the bases to create spaces with a credit card*; basic bases, 5 lots of 3" x 3" bases, 3 1.5" x 1.5" and 6 1.5" x 3" bases,  took about 40 minutes of that time...

Ink wash on that lot tonight!






*It was like a bad 80s movie Columbian drug lord with a dodgy batch of coke!

[Nosher]

Given there's only kissball on the box I dug out 48 stands of pike/irish kern and 16 stands of Knights/MAA and 4 stands of Mounted Crossbow that have been painted for months and finally finished off drybrushing, edging and flocking the bases.

A variety of family related stuff these past few days has put the kaibosh on any chance of me hitting my September target . I'm not going to rush the painting on my Fallschirmjager to play catch up, so a lot of these will have to move over into October's list. C'est la vie.

Basing stalled due to setting up 1870 campaign (more on this, later....)

Quick update from me:

Pendraken:
-- poss some 10mm Firefly-type sci-fi and / or STALKER stuff

I'm considering Firefly too.  What figures are you looking at Nik?

I think the new sci fi marines for the Purplebellies, and a mix of ACW and sci for the Browncoats.

Vehicles are tricky though.  We know that anti-gravity 'mules' are common, and there's references from the show of 'rollers' as combat vehicles, and ground attack aircraft were used in the first episode.

The Firefly RPG gives a bit more detail but not much...

[Hertsblue]

Back to the grindstone after a fortnight bobbing around the Baltic. Soon as the world steadies down I shall pick up the old Dulux roller again. 

[Nosher]

Made a start on the final eight 28mm Late war Germans before the impending arrival of 'reinforcements'

Managed to make a start on 14 bases of Winged Hussars for my 10mm Polish/Lithuanian army which is coming on very nicely.

Still haven't found time to base my SCW for A World Aflame but am thinking of hanging off a while on this mini-project so I can concentrate on Bolt Action, the Polish and the Arthurians.

I am finding that having a few different projects on the go in different scales is breaking some of the tedious rigmarole of painting

I agree Nosher. I have postponed any painting due to the aforementioned family stuff that naturally takes priority. However I have managed to finish off a few scenery projects that have been hanging around over the past few months. Tonight I've almost completed 9 hedge sections, bar the flocking that will be done tomorrow.

Even though I haven't been able to fit in the painting of my Fallschirmjager, at least I have been doing some wargames stuff which is good.

Yep - pretty much the same thoughts to be honest - those new ACW civilians would get featured for sure...but I'm thinking very small here...so I'm not *that* worried about the vehicles to be honest - more interested in RPGing this I think.

4 hours of basing and three coats of paint and a coat of water/pva applied last night, what is really slowing this down is 30+ casualty markers!

[Nosher]

Another 25 Warlord Plastic Royal Marines, two Vickers K LMG teams, a Vickers MMG, a 3" Mortar team as well as some german reinforcements including a 251, a sniper team and a flamethrower team for Bolt Action assembled and undercoated today.

Very nice

A severe case of real-life stopped play for me too

Anyway, most stuff is 90%+ finished, so from a base of wistfully dreaming I can't be too unhappy.

I did manage to prep October's little project over the weekend, so full steam ahead for the next month... Hopefully!

Knew there was something I had to do... 

[Steve J]

Real life is still putting pay to any real progress on my Fallschirmjager. So for this month I'm going to concentrate on finishing off little odds'n'sods of projects as and when time allows. Also I will be putting together a game for MadFest in November.

First preview picture of Oktoberprojekt is up! 

[Nosher]

Over the past couple of evenings I have managed to complete 14 stands of Winged Hussars (including hand made pennants ) and am very close to completing 8 more 28mm Late War Krauts for Bolt Action.

My Polish/Lithuanian Commonwealth Army is only 6 stands of Polish Haiduk infantry and four command stands away from being completed in entirety. I'll borrow loads of ECW/TYW Arquebusiers to make the army large enough to take on Gustavas Adolophus' Swede's
