Here's how far I have got with the Warriors from the Pendraken Barbarian Pack.

Good stuff. The use of sabots really works well to allow figures to be used for WM and Warband.
There is a lot of variation in the figures now - I like the rectangular shields with the three bosses
Very nice work! 8)
:-bd =D> :-bd
Good stuff, as ever, Jim!
Very nice. :-bd
Very nice work, Jim. :-bd
Cheers - Phil
Great work there Jim. :-bd
Nice work, Jim. Also impressed with the bases - the lines of the sabots look very precise. Did you cut them, acquire them by special order or are they available from Pendraken?

These are from Pendraken, dice frames from Mini-Bits.
Nice work Jim
Enjoy reading your blog
See from your blog you haven't been well, Jim, and are just out of hospital. Get well soon.
Same here, speedy recovery fella.
Ditto !!
Cheers - Phil

Yup, still in bed for half a day at a time, still infectious, won't be allowed in public for at least another week, certainly can't paint as head is too sore.
Might try some filing of bases later today or tomorrow.
Hope you get better as soon as possible
All the best Jim, hope you get better real soon.

So, this is Wednesday, not a great day, had to take painkillers this afternoon but not as many as yesterday.
I did file the bases of the High Elf cavalry. They won't fit Warmaster bases without doing so.
I'll leave final inspection of actual size for tomorrow. It's not something that can be fixed after paint is on them.
So, it's a start!

The earliest I can be considered non-infectious is about now but to be sure it will be next weekend.
Functionally I need to be able to tell the difference between 9.9 mm and 10.1 mm.
Still having to take painkillers and I speak to neighbours throw a window.
No, Jim.....Don't throw windows. :o
Seriously....Hope you feel better soon, Matey ! :)
Cheers - Phil.

Damn Autotext
What with wretched 'predictive text' and whatever painkillers you're on, Jim......it says something that you managed to post at all.

Co-codamol.
I was very attached to my Kindle and the internet via my mobile phone WiFi hotspot during my isolation as it was the only thing keeping me sane. Four concrete walls soon get you down, just ask Johnny Cash.
Also, in general, I blog my hobby life so it has become second nature no matter how sh*t I feel.
Oh dear......
If you're taking 'full strength' co-codamol...and you're not used to them.....You're going to feel a teeny bit 'spacey'/ zonked out.
My 'body system' is so used to the number I take now, they don't do anything other than dull my back-ache....(Which IS good :)).
My better half currently has a trapped nerve in her neck.....If she takes ONE, to relieve the pain she feels a bit 'high'.
Again...Get well soon, Matey !
Cheers - Phil
I'll take spaced-out on co-codamol over shut down by temazepam any day - have been both in my time, though not simultaneously!! Neither are conducive to a regular painting regime. :(
How did we get from "Barbarians - WIP" to "Ailments and drugs of choice" exactly :)

My co-codamol is 30/500, which I understand is full strength and I'm allowed 8 a day.
Fortunately my pain is sporadic and I'm getting by on fewer.
That's good.
I take 8 every day. X_X
Haven't tried temazepam.....Though we've got lots in the house. (For Mrs T when she was suffering from her gall bladder problems......and one of the now deceased dogs. EXACTLY the same pills !.......Weird thing is, that the effect on people is far more dramatic than on dogs......As 'I' says, it's 'shut down' time for folk.....Hardly made 'Seamus' dopey at all.)
That's enough junkie talk !.....But we'll just have to wait for Jim to feel better......It IS his topic !
Cheers - Phil

Threads progress through change just like life itself. It doesn't bother me.
In summary, I am a little bit better today, only two co-codamol so far.
The Barbarians I was doing are at the point where they need a little bit more focus than I can manage at the moment.
I did file the bases of the High Elf cavalry breaking four of the lance heads doing so. I've drilled and replaced them with a bit of wire and have now undercoated them.
Time to start relaxing again.
Well said Jim
Good to hear your a bit better and making progress :)

Still a bit under the Weather, still having to take painkillers.
Splashed a bit of paint about but concentrating on bases and sabots as it is easier.

Have managed to wean myself off co-codamol and onto ibuprofen, temperature is fine but am still feeling 's**t'. I sleep a lot, drink lots of fluid, food when I can. More blood tests tomorrow.
Tomorrow also sees the start of week 3 of this episode.
On the plus side I have managed to paint a few figures albeit very slowly, maybe about a tenth of my normal production rate.
Whatever you're suffering from, Jim.
Hope it goes as soon as.......
Sounds pretty damn grim ! :(
Cheers - Phil
Ditto
Get better soon.
Wot Techno said

Severe gastroenteritis they say caused by the adenovirus.
At least that was last weeks assessment.
Tomorrows blood test might say something different.

Blood test this morning, will take a few days for results.
Am now on a bread and water diet.
Oh joy
Hope that's signs of progress Jim! Doesn't sound much fun. :(
Got my latest blood test results yesterday, they were happy with current state and I don't have to go turn into a human pincushion for another 6 weeks!
Hope your results are equally positive.

Hope you get some good news, so you can move forward in a positive way, Matey.

The fact that you've managed to keep something down is encouraging, Jim.
Sounds like an absolutely evil 'bug' you've manged to get !
You're irritable ?......Don't blame you, Matey.
I always used to find that if Lucozade was too gassy for comfort, not screwing the cap back on tightly used to take some of the fizz out. (Might help ?)
Once again.....Hope you feel better soon, Jim.
Cheers - Phil
Looking good so far, even with the illness!
Hope it lifts soon.
:( (as in I've been feeling like a decomposing zombie for the last two days myself....)
Feline Flu perchance ?

21 days down the line and I'm approaching normality (dare I say it).
Splashed some more paint about and starting to look for something decent to do.
Gosh, I might even plan a blog update.
Good news, Jim. :)
Cheers - Phil
Good news in deed
Hi, Jim. Are you dead yet? [One knock for 'yes' ... two knocks for 'no' .... ]
Seriously, looked in on your blog this morning (which gave no clues) so, good to read you are on the mend.
Now, stop slacking and get it updated. Now! ;)

Great looking armies, Jim. :-bd
Really pleased to hear you're feeling a lot better, but after what you've been through, not surprised you're still feeling low on energy.
Very best wishes for Thursday.
Cheers - Phil
Glad your on the recovery road, and a mighty fine lead mountain you have there!! Kallistra do some nice castings and you have a nice collection there. :-bd

Final hurdle to pass before I Assault the Lead Mountain.
Will be a delay before I really start though.

Take it easy Jim, here's hoping recovery is a swift as possible.
My experience is that sleep, if you can get it, is one of the best medicines around!
Jim, I'm not a doctor but I prescribe sitting or half-reclining and painting lots of 10mm stuff. Lots and lots and lots of it. Repeat until cured.
Get well soon :D :D :D

Sounds like the other half needs sending out there with clear instructions as to what you need bringing in "for a faster recuperation" ;). Make the most of having her run around after you, you know it won't last :D :D
