hey @al just checking in quickly.

@mage progress on the ogres sounds good – can we hit you up for photos?

@oriskany I had planned to do a themed Christmas game at some stage, leveraging off the reaper mnis xmas seasonal minis range:

https://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/Christmas

Something along the lines of ‘A Christmas Party’ or similar – only tha Party would be a knight, paladin, cleric bard and rogue off to loot a dungeon filled with ice trolls and maybe rescue dwarf santa… Idea was to get the friends kids and my nephew and nieces playing a simplified version of a D&D dungeon raid for prizes and lolly bags, only don’t know if I could corral them all for a day over the Xmas break (people are usually travelling…). Could maybe rework the concept… Of course like so many of my ideas, project is yet to kick off (ie the minis I did pick up in December last year are still in their blisters…). Love your article series – the photos of the tables are always eye candy 🙂

@sundancer best laid plans… Ah well, MOAR! minis is a happy distraction.

@limburger I’m with you – Santa needs some armored support (are we seeing green and red tanks or proper arctic camo but with tinsel and fairy lights added for no apparent reason?…)

@woldenspoons hope you get some clean air to hit up hobby projects soon 🙂

@tuffyears photos of the game look great. I’ve gotta ask… the pint of wine… was that a sort of a punishment thing for losing units? ie like a 40k drinking game? I could see that sort of concept getting messy pretty quick as imbibement of merry-making fluids would not necessarily correlate with a high degree of tactical acumen as the game progresses. Could be outrageously good fun though 🙂

Not much more progress from me during the week – am trialling an idea to try and make some 28mm roads. First attempt has failed but with enough merit in the concept to give it another go. If I get any traction on a reasonable outcome I’ll snap some pics and do a write-up 🙂
