'A Tale of Four Gamers'

[Steve J]

Finally got around to making a start on my Brick Lane Commune for IHMN. I've been faffing around far too long, worrying about whether to magic wash or not etc. So I just decided to start on block colours and see how things went. Feels really good to have started these after so long.

Based some ships, fixed a few dents and scratches on the 15mm army I'm using this weekend, did lots of research...

Finally attacked my spare room - out with the horrible old computer desk and in with a new painting table. Now to clear the floor space and then get a 6'x4' set up. Wargames room by next week!

Provided there isn't a spoiling attack by the spiders at dawn.

Finally chosen base coats and inked Mongol Horse Archers tonight, taken me days to find shades I was happy with. Think this could be a difficult army to keep the mojo up on, I hate irregulars... 

[Womble67]

Nearly at the end of my celtic project, will post pictures in a few days.  I'm quite excited about starting my next project which is AWI

Take care

Far too busy buying more toys to actually do any work on the toys I already own.

Muppet.

Ditto!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Highlights of base colours, fur, cuffs, reins and equipment all done tonight.

And that's not Nik's Totty post requests!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

First batch of figures finished and varnished for the day, walk into town and then start batch 2.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Just finished a platoon of Falklands British infantry, and one vehicle for the Falklands, should get the second one done tonight too. Greatly productive day not at work!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Two Falklands vehicles finished tonight, just got to base this lot up now!

My word, the ancient Egyptians are approaching battle-readiness. Come on, Newlines, let's have the remaining Assyrians!

It never ceases to amaze me how many wargamers insist on chasing the unfinished ranges, knowing full well that figure production is slow and cyclical and likely to take months or years, rather than days. Why not pick an era for which the figures already exist? Goodness knows there are enough periods in existence to choose from. Yes, some have significant holes in them, but there are usually workarounds or substitutions available. Beats hanging on indefinitely.

Some of us prefer to be guided by our interests, not by what we're offered. I could buy a pack of bicycles and play patience, but I happen to have a taste for gaming certain eras of historical combat. When I was younger I did lurch into buying what was on offer without consulting my interests; quite a few armies ended up being sold without ever seeing a second game!

Some of us prefer to be guided by our interests ...

Something we share then FK.

Sadly my tastes are so catholic and my interests change so rapidly that, even restricting myself to armies I can get all the required figures for (by purchase or conversion) I have a house full of unpainted armies

That I should like to see!
