Wow, it’s been a busy day! Got an early showing of Infinity War – round 2. I thought it held up reasonably well to a second viewing, but I felt the length this time around when the first viewing felt quick enough. What did you folks think of it? Try not to spoil on the off chance someone hasn’t seen it yet.

Then it was a day of homewares shopping and dinner with the folks. The result was a very limited amount of project work today (booo) but tomorrow is a bank holiday in Ireland (yay!) so I should make a bit more progress.

I picked out a load of bits I’ve been putting in my “someday I might use that for something” box, to make my cliff cities. I’m going for a built into the cliffs feel mixed with some standalone buildings. I have multiples of all of these parts, so I’ll see what I can knock together.

I’m going to be looking for small military style bunkers or small single/double story civilian 10mm buildings that might suit a mountain style – any suggestions more than welcome! I might check out some model train stuff, though I’d prefer something a bit more sci-fi if anyone knows of anything in the 10mm range?

@dawfydd – That’s a big loada wolves! Definitely no issues from the primer visible in the photos, that dread looks great.

I also like Shut up & Sit down’s reviews – although I only stumbled across them maybe a month ago. They have a good approach to how they write reviews too.

@biggabum – thanks for posting that WWX plot summary – I’d picked up some bits of it from interviews, but that’s a nice synopsis. Are you at all worried about them weaving Dystopian Wars into the same world as WWX? I haven’t been following too closely but I see there is some movement on that front at UKGE this weekend.

The Hex beasts are looking nice so far – great contrast between the red and purple.

@irredeemable – good going on the Dark Angels. Although I’m not a 40k player these days, Dark Angels were my first army back from ages 10 – 15… 23 years later I still have that first army… well parts of it, and I recently bought DA Primaris – damn nostalgia! You’ve got a solid base coat and I love the contrasting highlights.

Completely agree that Aliens was a different type of film. Terminator 2 is a good choice – haven’t watched Judgement day in at least a decade… must rectify that!

@torros – nice looking goblin army there  – is that warmaster or something else of a similar scale?

@mage – that’s it exactly
