Always love me some Dio. I keep hearing good things about Sharp Practice but sadly hisotircals really arent my cup of tea. That sounds like a golden era of GW music in stores. Sadly, I missed out on that.

Batch painting works well. No doubt about it. Loving the Metallica and Guns and Roses.

Your Lannisters are looking good so far. I cant wait for my pledge to arrive.

Thanks lol. I read the blog. Interesting the DNA between GI Joe and Action Force. So, basically Baron Ironblood and his red dudes are like an alternative reality version of Cobra? That’s very cool. What grunge bands do you like?

Oh no, Im sorry to hear about your cat. The poor thing. I hope she pulls through.

@sundancer

Awesome possums?

Nice! More Star Wars coming!

Would be great to see pics of all the events.

Pirate X Wing better have a lot of scum and villainy in it! Or plenty of Arrrrghs.

It might be fun to do Troll Bridge with three other friends. Id use the Troll! Maybe get some other trolls to join in and kick some butt!

I did the 40k and WHFB tournament scene, local and elsewhere. Im tired of it. It stopped being fun a few years ago. Aside from spending a small fortune driving, staying over with accommodation, food, shopping money and entering an event there were other things that put me off and made it difficult and a simple choice of stopping. I mean, playing against min/maxed lists, forcing myself to be OCD level familiar with the rules and getting in practice games while my personal life went out the window… that whole culture is a fun leaching chore.

Club play I got sick of. Travelling in and out, limited cramped space. People bailing with no notice, struggling to get games in…

It all led me to the conclusion to play local and with close friends in the comfort of my home. No annoying smelly teens, social skill lacking idiots, and opinionated men in there late thirties to late fourties who complain about everything (loudly) and are still actively dating. No noise, discomfort, poor lighting, and travel time when you are done. No fuss no muss. No closing and opening times or worrying about tables freeing up.

Its fun to do LOTR stuff again. Working on my Firebelly at the moment though and he is almost finished. Then it will be back to the Mordor Troll. Lighting in my room isnt great and the room I normally paint in is scattered with toys over a playmat.

No, that sculpt is a plastic kit from a few years ago. Late 2000s. Maybe a little earlier or later. I have a few days off where I am house sitting next week. Gonna have some hobby, easy to cook food, dogs and couch time with the hobbit and lotr trilogies on in the background.
