Well a bit of a wierd start to the weekend. Took my two boys (well men I suppose Chris is nearly 21 and Matty is 29) out for a Costa (got its name coz it Costa fortune) and ended up buying a car. Spent the journey home in a panic trying to think of an excuse (Matty didnt help by suggesting I just cry and tell her i’m an Idiot). Fortunatley the wife loves it and has allowed me to keep my Manly bits…. for now.

Any hoo did a bit more hobby during the week and finished off the Cryx stuff Matty got for Christmas –

 

So the pledge this weekend is to at least make a start on my Trenchers.

@sundancer Wookies look excellent Sir.

@dawfydd really like the Cadians and A nice start to the knights.

 

And on to the questions-

1) Actually temperature hasn’t been an issue for the past few years for me. Due to the wife’s condition I had to invest in Air Conditioning so the temperature in the house is pretty constant all year round. Before that though we just played games when it was too extreme to paint.

2) Sit for painting and hobby and stand for playing although I do sit for board games or when it’s my opponents turn.

3) I’m to lazy to try anything spectacular myself, bit o sand painted and the odd tuft of static grass thrown on, but I do love seeing what you guys do with yours.  I would like to try those transparent bases that crop up now and again as it would save me having to put any effort into basing at all 😀

4) Uhhhm no. Scuba diving is out because it would make my Pizza soggy. I did try Sky diving once but the chute didnt open. As I was plummeting towards the ground I saw a man heading up towards me. As he passed I shouted “Hey mate…do you know anything about Parachutes ?” He shouts back. “No….Do you know anything about Gas Ovens ?”

 

Answer to the Bonus Question.

The wife bough me an old (well it wasnt at the time) Milton and Bradley game called BattleMasters. It was played on a plastic hex mat and used Citadel Miniatures (and had a plastic keep). I loved it so went to the local hobby shop to buy the expansions but the guy didnt have them. Instead he introduced me to Warhammer Fantasy Battle (fourth edition had just been released) and I was hooked. Eventually over the years I found other games that I preferred to GW ones and sold off my GW stuff to fund them.
