Thought by this point I'd be wealthy enough to retire, play all the games, read all the books and paint all the minis I keep buying... Wargaming, memes, food and silliness. Mostly.

An unpleasant last few weeks, certainly not been the best. Haven't felt the inspiration for painting, so started building some Axis for Konflikt'47. Posibilities. The heavy infantry are a fun kit to build and I love the two walkers. #wargaming #wargames #warlord #konflikt47 #boltaction #mini
Some Konflikt '47 Stahltruppen, a Vogelspinne walker and a Panzer IV X Mech, plastic and resin bits by Warlord Games.

Konflikt 47 Nachtalben team. Sinister, lizard-looking troops with grey skin and sharp teeth. They are wearing military fatigued and armed with SMGs. The leader is larger than the rest and has a large claw-like appendage.

At a loose end this morning with insomnia and whatnot. Back to Arkham Horror 2 card game. Played two characters myself and saved the university this time. I love this game, although I struggle with the deck building, decision making and the luck! #ArkhamHorror #Lovecraft #FFG #Boardgames
Arkham Horror, Chapter Two, with Tricia and Daniele.  A nice & comfortable win

In a break from the norm, I've managed to be sociable twice in the last week; catching up with friends and get a few board games in. Sengoku Jidai by Osprey, 7 Wonders Duel, The Star Wars Deckbuilder and some new Arkham Horror. All round normal fun! #boardgames #tabletopgaming #StarWars #7Wonders

Recently got back into To the Strongest! - so wanted to improve my board-in-a-frame to have a grid and remove some fields I wasn't happy with. Plus, the start of a 10mm Late Rome project, and some Mycenaeans in 28mm.

The postman commeth. Lovely looking books, lots of photos & background material. I'll have a proper dig later. It's very refreshing to read a rulebook that isn't 60-70% army lists. The spines are a travesty, only acceptable if the third book is marked III. #K47 #Konflikt47 #warlordgames

#wipwednesday. Basing finished on some Death Riders and a dozen zombies. Two dozen ghosts glued to tuppences [of which I have now run out, despite buying £5 worth not that long ago!] and Warhounds and Knights built from the AT starter set. Might have a go at the Reavers later today.

Progress on the terrain. A few setbacks, one is that the white paint I picked up is metallic, so needed to redo a couple steps. The drybrushing is a bit rough to my eyes, and a couple colours are off. But we'll keep going with some foliage tomo. #terrain #wargaming #skyrim #nerdlings
Mostly finished with these two bits.  Some more bits between a third and two thirds done.

I've started up properly on the terrain for the Skyrim/5 Leagues games. Mostly 3D printed ruins and walls from QP3# (I think) and Modiphius. Following the guts of a @sonicsledgehammer.bsky.social tutorial. #wargaming #terrain #skyrim #elderscrolls #5leagues #minipainting
Starting the terrain assembly line.  Ruins, dungeon walls and some debris.

95% full now. My rule was to not take dice out of boxed games. Everything else was fair game. I admit, if I playing Bolt Action or Saga etc, it'll be a wee job to find all the right dice. But a happy problem to have. #wargaming #K47 #Saga #BA #BoltAction #customdice
My dice jar, almost fun.  Next to another dice ornament; there are a couple more in the house.

A dander into town today saw some new paints for the Five Leagues/fantasy terrain I want to do, and some more paint pens for trying the tiny Strength & Honour stuff. Work's been kicking my arse lately, so hoping to get some fun bits finished in my wee holiday. #minipainting #terrain #wargaming
Some cheap(er) acrylics for my terrain, some brushed to slap it on with and some metallic paint pens for tiny figs.

Monday night, slapping a bit of paint on some naked guys and a couple horses. Still not enjoying these figures (the plastics look a bit daft, it's the old, bendy resin Warlord used for the cavalry,) but plugging away. Chuffed with the chestnut horse so far. #Saga #wargaming #minipainting

Necromancy continues, with the first three Gauls finished. Some odd colour choices and mould lines left over from when I started these, before covid, but trying not to get hung up on that. I'm trusting the bases and shields do a lot of the heavy lifting. #saga #minipainting #nerdlings #wargaming
The first three finished Gauls; not too bad apart from the huge mould line and some questionable colour choices.The next batch, who I'll work on from scratch.

Some foul necromancy tonight, as I dig out some Warlord Games Gauls, from many moons ago. I've misplaced a dozen javelin armed skirmishers, but they'll turn up 🤞 The Warlord kits are nice & fun, but show their age a bit now. #Saga #wargaming #minipainting #nerdlings
Some Gaulish lads for Saga (and Infamy, Infamy, and Clash of Spear, and for Hail Caesar, To the Stongest, Swordpoint and that Rampant variant, and many others.)

Aptly, given my 1939 project, work launched it's own blitzkrieg against my free time last week (knew it was coming.) Still plugging away at the armour & some Polish infantry. Happyish with the colour of the German tanks, not too dark, not too light. Decion pending on decals or freehand markings.
