Let\u2019s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 2nd through to the 9th of December.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BLOG STUFF<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Oh look, blog stuff is back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay, after my lovely time away I’ve been doing some thinking about this blog. As much as I have loved writing a feature post every week, it’s safe to say it’s knackered me out. So I’m going to change how I’ll be running posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday posts are remaining the same. It gives me a good place to check in and update how I’m doing. I also know a few people who don’t use Facebook read this and so it’s handy to pass on new releases and such. Also, I like writing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of a feature post every week, you’ll be getting a bit of writing every time I finish something. So what this means practically is that some weeks all you get is the Monday news update while others you might get a pile of posts to read. They will still be going up at the same time (12pm<\/g> GMT) to make sure you get something ready to read on your lunch break or first thing in the morning depending on where you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is not me giving up on the blog – far from it! What it is is a re-arrangement – this isn’t my job and if I treat it like such I’m going to grow to dislike it. It also means I get some more time to do other projects than riding the painting train to hell – including writing more scenarios and rules! I’ve already been testing a rules tweaks so maybe you’ll hear about them soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEWS<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Honestly, no real news, we’re getting close to Christmas so it’s to be expected. A minor point for anyone stateside is that Spectre Miniatures has announced they will be going to Adepticon next year, sharing a stand with Black Site Studio.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PURCHASES<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Some black spray paint. It’s all go around here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EDIT: Okay, false here. I actually (after setting this to be scheduled) went and picked up a sprue of the new Frostgrave female soldiers and a spure of the Ghost Archipelago crewmen (and bases) so I can finish off assembling figures for my fantasy project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOBBY<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Not much movement on the hobby front this week unfortunately<\/g> – it’s been a week filled mostly with video games thanks to a few key releases coming out. However, there was a little bit of progress on the BPRE operators, mainly neatening up some of the colours and getting the detailing in place. Fingers crossed, you’ll see these guys finished this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In other news, my latest order arrived. I’ve already got to work basing the new figures. I’m going to plan out a few ways to base the walls and brick piles, ideally to create interesting features rather than just gently placing them on the tabletop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And also there is the small matter of building another Humvee…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s it for this update, expect more updates next week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
