Let\u2019s start this Wargaming Week, covering the 13th through to the 19th of January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blog Stuff<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I got back to my fantasy project! <\/a>Really happy with the response to the first post -this has been a side project I’ve been working on during my downtime last year. I’m really excited about actually getting the figures on the table – both for the gameplay but also just because they are some lovely models!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m also really excited as I’m playing around with a setting I’ve worked on with a really good friend of mine. She’s been cranking out maps of the various countries alongside our world building and I can’t wait to show them off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEWS<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of fantasy, here is a nice upcoming release from my local MDF wizard, Supreme Littleness Designs. He’s making some modular Frozen City ruins, perfect for any skirmish game where you want some verticality. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye on 4 Ground for when they are released.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next up, Black Site Studios showing off a pile of scenery perfect of some fantasy skirmish gaming. I’m a big fan of their stuff, and this bundle seems perfect for making a board suitably dense for that style of game. Definitely something I’ll be thinking about soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And just to prove I haven’t been lost to swinging swords, Tabletop Tactical Simulations is back with another truck kickstarter! This time, they are bringing a range of Ural trucks to the tabletop, perfect for any number of theatres as long as you paint them right. I’m usually put off by the fact it’s 1\/56 but I have to admit, I’m kind of tempted to give them a look and see how well it works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Nothing!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

More painting, all thanks to my 15 minutes+ a day. It’s really good for just getting small stuff finished. For example, these two turrets – sat on my desk for literally months while getting the energy to paint the camo on the gunners. However, I managed to get them cleaned up and good to go. These are both for the Bazi forces, something to make their Humvee’s pop out among the legion of US vehicles. Additionally, I don’t fancy coming up against either of them in a dark alley!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Speaking of not fancy fighting them, the other two things finished this week was my second LTV and the monstrous Land Warfare RWS with its 30mm cannon, ATGM and coax medium machine gun. I really like this kit, and having two of them means I can deploy a full 8 man patrol under protective cover. Next stop, convoy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

Finally (inspired by my Christmas game of Chain of Command), I started playing around with a test figure for my own Empress British. I only managed to get the base colours on, but it looks the right tone. I’m looking forward to only having to do a single piece of camo gear, as opposed to a whole figure. Fingers crossed I’ll finish this guy off this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
