New month, time for a little update. Seeing as last month was really the intro to all the projects on my plate, this month is a bit more of a check in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Monday evening painting sessions are going ahead, and forming a nice bit of routine in my week (even if I’m struggling to maintain it the rest of the time). It’s also been nice as a hangout\/chat-the-shit time, especially important as I live by myself. It’s very easy to start disappearing into the box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Project ENFORCERS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So November plan was to get the Enforcers assembled which is done! They are also undercoated and ready to start painting… which is where I hit the problem. I’m still not 100% on the scheme, and not quite ready to put paint to plastic. Perhaps this will be what I end up painting over Christmas. But all the models are ready to go, sitting in my “to-do pile”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Project Fantasy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Fantasy ended up being the thing I spent most of my time this month. Mostly this was due to finishing off assembly on several kits (Godsworn Hunt to back up my Warqueen, the Tree Revanaents and my Dark Elf Corsairs) but there was also some rebasing work (as you can see above) and even painting the new figures. They are always a nice change from other projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

With this month being deal month, I was really excited to see these two boxes on eBay at a heavy discount. If you remove the outright Age of Sigmar elements, then there are plenty of pieces to use for generic fantasy gaming. It also includes a baseboard in each box, ideal for setting up a quick game. I’m saving the full game for Christmas but this is a nice start. However, it’s reminding me I definitely need to get a spray booth set up for the airbrush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Project WW2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So speaking of “deal month”, there as an accident at Warlord Games during their Tanksgiving promotion. My love of Churchills is well known, so the concept of having a full platoon of them (as well as an additional one to set up as an AVRE) is something I’m very excited for. One of the things I was looking forward to by being in Yorkshire was getting a chance to play more Big Chain of Command games – Having a tank AND infantry platoon for this is a good step. Also a trio of Churchills is a pretty horrifying proposition to see rolling across the board if you’re a German player in 1945.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve also started doing another piece of the work on the platoon – setting up the details of the various officers and NCOs that are in my forces. I’m leaning towards realistically fictional, so I can do all the details for each character (as well as setting up excuses for them to be in a whole host of engagements from Normandy to Hamburg). After reading several WW2 accounts and rewatches of Band of Brothers and The Pacific, as well as looking at the excellent and characterful figures from Paul Hicks, I’m already having the fun of setting up the personalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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

There is also another project, coming later this month, that I’m looking forward to. It’s going to require a lot of experimenting and tinkering (as well as lots of new skills and tools to learn) but the sheer possibilities from it are very exciting. Hopefully, I’ll be able to make something good using it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
