Happy Friday.

My pledge this weekend is to paint “The Sisters”, 2 models from Northumbrian Tin Soldier, both archers and once they’re complete I’ll have a working Frostgrave warband.
I’ll also going to play a friend’s board game tomorrow evening, but I cannot remember which one he said it was, so I’ll get back later on that.

Will you dive in full force into all those Black Friday “deals” and buy all the stuff you know you’ll never build and paint?

Not full force but I have had a browse and selected one or two items.

Have you actually looked at specific things you already want to go down in price and then throw in a bunch of stuff more because “it’s a sale!”?

Well, I’ve just got back home from a trip down to Northumbrian Tin Soldier and picked up a few things, more like seized the opportunity rather than added more stuff. Oh, and one or two things on my Amazon wish list went down the the lowest they’ve been so…yoink!

Or will you just sit and watch, knowing that your hard earned money is still with you and will be spend shortly after Christmas?

I’m kind of doing this with Victrix. I’ve got a list of stuff I want to get for ancients but I’m not starting any of that until next year so it can wait even though they have a sale on.

How often do you find yourself in a situation where you hear about “a new trick” or easy way to do something and you think “Damn, I totally forgot that”.

Not really forgot but it’s quite often something I’ll have to try out. Most of the Gerry Cans for example.
Just yesterday I was reading the latest Irregular Magazine (it’s excellent and free to download) and they had a way of building easy hills that look great. Something I’ll have to try.

I’ve been watching the live action Cowboy Bebop on Netflix and (just like the anime) the music is great. Here’s the opening title music.
