Let\u2019s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 4th through to the 10th of June.<\/p>\n

BLOG STUFF<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Last week’s post was looking at Empress characterful Mercs, getting them ready for the tabletop. Expect to see these guys backing up my other mercs when things get really hairy.<\/p>\n

As you may have seen in Friday’s post, I’ve done a little experiment with the images. I take my photos on my phone, with no fancy lenses or tweak-able settings. Most of the time I’ve used the raw photos straight from the camera which look okay but can also mean the main figures take up a tiny space. Instead, I’ve decided to try following advice and trimming the photos down to focus on the subject. On the one hand the photos are a bit more informative and show off the figures better. On the other hand, it does show off all the small mistakes I make while painting. I’ll freely admit, I don’t think of myself as a good painter – merely good enough for the tabletop. I’m still playing around with the best setup to get the best photos so expect some tweaks in quality over the next few posts.<\/p>\n

NEWS<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After spending a whole news post of Spectre Humvee and them not actually releasing, they are finally out! You can get to them on the site in the rather busy Vehicles collection page<\/a> and I wouldn’t be too worried about the resin bits going out of stock. To be slightly down, a few of the weapon systems you might want are out of stock (minigun humvee will have to wait) and the crew figures are not here just yet and I really wish the bumpers were not bundled in with the rear sections. Apart from that though, just look at them! Fantastic detail and I can’t wait to get my grubby paws on them and get building.<\/p>\n

There is also a 360 spin of the SOF vehicle available on the Spectre facebook page is you want to see the detail from all the angles.<\/a><\/p>\n

PURCHASES<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Well guess what this week’s purchases are – Humvees! I mentioned on Lead Adventure that I was splitting this impressions up (to make sure I stick within my hobby budget for the month) and building two vehicles this month and two in the next order. Order 1 is going to let me build two vehicles:<\/p>\n
