However, I&#8217;m still excited to see what comes out from them next &#8211; I&#8217;m keeping a close eye on the current kickstarter.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of upcoming posts, I think I&#8217;ve worked out what I&#8217;m doing for the Modern Wargames comparison post. Looking at the rulesets left available to me, I&#8217;m going to split this into two parts. Part Two is looking at modern day focused rules while Part 3 will look at rulesets that have been converted to modern action or could be.<\/p>\n<p>Part Two is going to cover:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fireteam Modern<\/li>\n<li>FUBAR<\/li>\n<li>No End In Sight<\/li>\n<li>Wars of Insurgency<\/li>\n<li>Winter of &#8217;79<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Part Three will look at:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Flying Lead conversion<\/li>\n<li>Bolt Action Modern (in its various versions)<\/li>\n<li>Combat Patrol for modern day<\/li>\n<li>Chain of Command<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The goal is to have Part Two up in December (probably being the last piece of content before I have a christmas break) while Part Three should be up in the new year, probably before Salute.<\/p>\n<h3>GAMING<\/h3>\n<p>Been busy with work and finishing writing a few articles so no time for gaming. Should be back to it soon though.<\/p>\n<h3>PURCHASES<\/h3>\n<p>Three more buildings from Knights of Dice &#8211; I really want to do a proper in depth impressions of their Tabula Rasa range (as an extended version of the posts I wrote about <a href=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/2017\/03\/19\/comparing-mdf-adobe-buildings\/\">Adobe options<\/a>) and seeing as the range is about to expand I feel I should get the first generation covered. I also want a few more buildings in a ready state for future games and the Tabula Rasa ones are really fun to build.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m also looking at another project. There will be a bigger post on it once it properly starts, but lets just say I&#8217;ll be reusing the Project Little Bird category. I&#8217;ve got three airframes lined up, I now just need to do some tweaks to them.<\/p>\n<h3>HOBBY<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6868\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/IMG_20171015_154832-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\"><\/p>\n<p>Back on the painting train, and I have at least two groups to get done ASAP. The first is the figures for next week&#8217;s post looking at the September releases from Spectre. I&#8217;m part of the way through them with two figures finishing, six waiting for camo work and one, the Russian AT figure, still in the early stages. With the Russian figure, I&#8217;m tempted to do a batch job with a few of the other Russian figures I&#8217;ve had waiting to be painted. But it depends on how much painting time I get this week.<\/p>\n<p>The second is for the Halloween game. Most of which I&#8217;m not concerned about but there are three guys who have a style of texture on them I haven&#8217;t painted before.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>That\u2019s it for this update, expect more updates next week!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s start, covering the 9th of October through to the 15th of October.
