@horati0nosebl0wer That’s not a bad turnaround time for Black friday loot, especially given how busy I can only assume all the retail and delivery outlets must be. Some really nice looking pieces you scored there. Glad you are taking the cautious approach and planning the project – If it was me I would have doused the thing in superglue and magic spray and then shouted profanities when I couldn’t get the parts to align 🙂 Hadn’t heard of rasputina before, thanks for the signal raising 🙂 Sounds like a slightly darker Emilie Autumn (and that’s a solid starting point to begin from regardless 🙂 )
@dawfydd I always love to see your WIP posts, partly because I feel like I’m in good company as far as having masses of minis on my painting bench, but also just for the impact of the sheer scale of the projects you tackle. Shock and awe for the win 🙂
@woldenspoons I still haven’t picked up any of those holders. I really should give one a go – have heard nothing but positive things about them – which is highly unusual given this is the internet… Hrm… Glad your hobby mojo is coming back online 🙂
@mage Happy Birthday! BSB was probably close to 10 months from assembly to completion, most of that was waiting on decals for the barding though 🙂 Sounds like a great mix or warbands for Mordheim! Only option really missing is Sisters. (and if you do decide to heavily invest in the campaign in the future and head down that path – Raging Heroes ‘Daughters of the orphanage’ would do nicely as proxies – just be careful as a lot of their minis are NSFW, hence the no linking from here 🙂 ) Any pics of the Mordheim tourney you can share? At least let us know if it was a fun day (I can’t help but imagine trying to run and rules assist would be at least a little taxing..).
@biggabum hope you are recovering from all of that dangerous fresh air you were exposed to – deadly stuff that. And christmas cheer no less?!? On a somewhat related note does anybody know where I can pick up black tinsel. Kidding 🙂 (Kinda…).
@elessar2590 that dust game looks fantastic, what a great tabletop! I have to confess I was seriously looking at reich busters – but only to combine it with Dust and K47 for some homebrew Weird World war nonsense 🙂
@matador84 which new ones were you looking at? Was it Dust minis? Also welcome!
Only other hobby I have gotten done was to prep 2 dozen landsknecht with zweihanders for when I have a gap in my painting schedule (figured it was a good idea to get some assembly and priming done before the weather got properly hot). You know the drill – planned for use as either proxy empire greatswords, historicals or for Kings of War… Priming in metal seemed to work OK last time so going to give it another go here

Also saw the events list for Cancon next month – was really nice to see all the Tourney organisers focus on sportsmanship (to the point that many weren’t even going to declare a ‘winner’ for the weekend). I might see about trying to get invested in one game enough to enter something in a year or 2 maybe, will definitely be heading along to spectate and for retail action this time around though 🙂
Also Vikings s6 is on free to air starting this week so I need to catch up on the second half of S5 🙂
