@mage still chipping away at the Hobbit minis? Pardon my ignorance, but to they integrate well with the standard LoTR games system or are they effectively a different edition of the core game? is the Mordheim campaign marathon going to be a bunch of back to back games or just one massive all-in big game? Nice conversion for the possessed too – a good choice of poxwalker to represent it 🙂

@sundancer the hobby gift card is a good call 🙂

@limburger glad the parcels arrived OK – You had a chance to properly unbox yet? 10 kilos of habblock must be a fairly intimidating chunk of MDF. Lots of PVA in your immediate future or can it be disassembled and repacked after use?

@biggabum welcome back! Hope the better half is feeling well. Used to have a neighbour who could date old books to within about 10 years of their print date just by how they smelled. Not particularly useful as a superpower, but noteworthy nonetheless.

@horati0nosebl0wer Well I guess that’s one way to downsize the pile of shame 🙂 Seriously though, increased focus on a smaller number of models is bound to yield better paint jobs.  If I could settle on one games system or genre I’d consider something similar, but as it is I’m currently feeling inspired to fish out models from 15 years ago and start painting those up, so from that perspective I guess I’m better off hanging onto the stuff that I’ll probably never get to?… Anyhow… Sounds like some shiny loot inbound form the BF sales 🙂

@elessar2590 thanks for the encouragement but we both really know that the mountain won’t get more manageable – I’d need to paint a lot faster just for mini output to keep pace with what I pick up in the sales. Hrm, maybe I could put some flames on the side of my paintbrushes or colour them all in red… Seriously though, I think manageable is the key word. As long as I can keep things organised so I have access to what I need and know what I have then all should be well.

@rayzryr really liking your elf project. It’a making me want to fish out some of my old high elf and dark elf models. Have always been keen to do an Everqueen themed force and a Cult of Slaanesh dark elf army. Might have to see what I have on hand… Hope D&D goes well!

@woldenspoons heh, Amazon prime could be avry dangerous – I’m not sure I’d ever actually get around to leaving the house if we had access to that sort of delivery time here in Oz. Hrm, excellent point re Socks and Jocks… Nice repurposing of the Kill team board too – that really works well  🙂
