End of May

Got back to Game of Thrones this week, demo game for Simon at the club. He seemed to like it, and it was an awesome battle! My Nordland army is one of the poorer provinces and I see the posting there for the Reiksguard to be the one that attracts the worst of the regiment,…

Quite Week in May

I was away with work this week so nothing at the club. Did a spot of painting. Found a little hobby shop on the island as I was out of purple paint, it’s a hidden gem in Sandown so if visiting the island check it out, website Upstairs Downstairs Lastly Andy Hall, world famous writer…

May Half Way

Trying to get back into the rhythm of posting. I’ve been painting a Warmaster Army for a friend and that has sucked my mojo somewhat. I know Tom loves the 10mm but there is no joy there for me! I then touched up my Dwarf Blood Bowl team for their second warm up prior to…

First and Last of April

Mostly I have just been sad in April. In three months I lost my gran, my uncle and now my dog! I have done some paint8ng and stuff, managed a couple of games built the terrain for GoT and spent a week in Nottingham! Starting to feel like an islander as I like leaving the…

Final Post of March

So technically it’s April today but everything hobby related happened in March. I’ve had requests on the old scenery and you can see it in a game later. Spoilers, Patrick defeats me again! I think this is becoming a familiar theme where I am ok at killing stuff and rubbish at collecting victory points. We…

March week 3 Updates

What’s happened this week, in a nutshell some painting and some gaming! Gaming first. Another great game against young Patrick! Starks vs Lannisters. I am still not good at focusing on the scenario. I play like a 12 year old at 40k. Just kill stuff and worry about everything else later. I did “gamily” move…

March Week 2 more ASOIAF

I seem to be at sixes and sevens as to what to paint. I am still very much ASOIAF but struggling to focus on the next project. After going this way and that Patrick has pushed me towards Renly Baratheon so I think that is the way forward. I also have lots of flowers to…

March Week 1 Hobby

I missed last week as the Soldier family were having a sad week burying my Grandmother! But hobby recommenced and the world feels a little better! Painting has been a bit slow. But the Lannisters I have, bar some characters, are all done now. I have Greyjoys on the way, Baratheons and Starks undercoated. Having…

February Week 4

Look at me go, two months consistent blogging. Been a very busy week. Crammed in six games since last Friday and finished the Warriors Sons Pat had chosen a strategy of no None Combat Units giving me full access to the tactics board, this lead to an amount of frustration for Pat but much more…

Feb Week 3, Hobby Round up and Painting faster

Played a game with Darling Daughter On to painting quickly tips. Let’s start with the simplest, be neat. If you stay in the lines you paint once not twice, going back is rubbish. Work from the deepest part of the model out, this helps with be neat as you are doing the hard to get…
