Had a busy weekend – a few friends visiting and a Sunday airsofting up at Dirty Dog close to Darlington. Fun running around, need to improve my fitness/strength to be able to carry the gear I want to. As with all weekends, good for actually seeing people, bad for getting hobby done. Tonight’s work has…

I spent most of my afternoon cleaning up my 3d printing room so someone can sleep in it on the weekend but managed to squeeze in painting up one final cultist for group of five. I’m still really big fans of the Northstar cultist figures. They are a great set of parts for building a…

Alas, I ran out of time to get my stuff ready to game with tonight. Long day at work, not enough time to finish the models I wanted to and so I pushed it back. Instead had an evening of TV watching and hanging out with The Sister, while also writing up a little more…

T’was the night before game day and all through the house, not a creature was stiring… except me getting stuff painted up for the game. I have the rough idea planned out – layout sketched, special rules in place, the arc of the story telling that the game will map to. I just have to…

After taking a few days off for the weekend (busy in the garden and watching films), decided to restart the hobby streak by frantically getting things together for Wednesday’s game against The Sister. For that game, I need some more cultists for my Swordmasters to fight. I’ve got 5 from the Rangers of the Shadow…

Started painting up the pair of VBLs. These will be vehicles from the Emirate of Bazistan, a sub nation of the larger Bazi Empire and one currently getting the cast offs. For this reason, I’ll stick with something similar to the two T62s I painted up – that’s about the tech level the Emir’s forces…

I finished off the first set of Turnbase Hight Intensity Operators. I’m going for more of a mix with these guys, trying to use the wide selection of heads to make them fit as a larger PMC faction. Fun to paint, nice details. Really happy with the guy at the front’s head – the ginger…

First up, some more tweaks/fixes to the website. Most of my hobby time (which was limited) was spent fixing all the images and reuploading some missing files. Everything should now be working and I’m feeling a little more stable on the site (while not duplicating every image). After work and FTP messing around, I only…

First up – site stuff. I’ve been having some issues with the site and various pages not loading. Thanks to everyone dropping me messages, clearing out some old images and fixing up the site seemed to overload it a touch. Going to spend some time fixing some stuff at the weekend, turns out running a…

I finished off the week’s Battle Report! It was really fun game to play and even better to go back to and play through. Still need to get back into the flow of it to speed up (and not be distracted by watching wrestling with friends) but happy to get the blog flowing. Go give…

Today’s work – all focused on getting ready for tomorrow’s game! I’ve printed off the Skirmish Sangin V2 rules (and the play aids), rolled up the soldiers, finished off the scenario and updated the wiki page! The original plan was to do Local Forces vs our old friend in Commando Global Solutions but alas they…

I realised the other day as I watched various youtubers return to email list to make sure you see their stuff, as handy as social media is, it’s also not where a big chunk of the people interested in hobby live. And honestly, I’d rather not lose all my stuff to the whims of some…
