Yesterday the Nam Kickstsrter dropped, so this evening I downloaded all the goodies, had a good look and then printed some. Sadly they aren’t ready yet so I’ll have to show them to you tomorrow
The above are the US special forces.
I didn’t really make myself a lot of time to paint this evening… but I did a little bit:
Now the shaman in the centre has reminded me of someone for absolutely ages… I just couldn’t put my finger on who. This evening the clouds parted and the recollections streamed through…
Yes, I know he looks nothing like the wise old elf from the TV show… but somehow to me he does. If I hadn’t already painted the hood yellow then it would be painted blue.0
Still aching like mad, luckily no washing machines to move today, but the hot water tank overflow kicked in at 22.00 so I have fastened the ball cock up and turned off the boiler. I will get a new ballcock tomorrow.
I did manage to get some paint on some goblins today…
We have a leader, left. Three frogherds and a shaman on the right.
Hopefully I will get some more done tomorrow evening.
Well if you remember I wrote a couple of days ago that I am in constant aches. Removing the old washing machine from the house and putting a new one in certainly didn’t help with this. We checked the weight on the new one… 75kg.
The old one went out the front door (which because I am in a croft house is narrow), the new one wouldn’t come in the same way so we had to take it right the way through the conservatory in one direction and right the way back through the house in another.
I now cannot move and luckily Esther and Sam are doing the horse as I am stuck in the car groaning.
Hopefully it will have eased off by tomorrow.
Well okay, they aren’t. But they might have been. I worked on this pair today…
I made a balls up in the left hand face, redid the undercoat and seem to have lost a lot of detail. I will try and remember how to do highlights!
I really must crack on with the goblins as I have at least thirty six infantry to get painted. Not to mention three more Mordheim gangs and a pile more undead.
This evening I was still aching. Waiting on the results of another blood test. Worst case scenario is that I have fibromyalgia. Which is a pain, no pun intended .
This has been grumbling on like this for eighteen months to two years. Last time I went to the doctors I was told it was just my age. At least this one actually listened and came up with a couple of possible causes. One being poly myalgic rheumatism and the other was mentioned above.
So the aches and pains continue for a while.
Well according to WordPress I hit a milestone. Yes today I passed 50,000 views. which frankly I find a bit bonkers really.
So if you are one of the people that popped by, even just to leave wondering what this crackpot is on about, then thank you. I really do appreciate it.
It has been a beautiful day up here and when I got back at 20.00 it was still nice. Skylarks were out, blackbirds were singing and the Oyster Catchers were in full voice too.
As I said yesterday I got two parcels when I got back from vacation. This was my book…
I really haven’t had a proper read through, but I like the idea where you can win militarily but lose politically. In a one off game it doesn’t really matter, but in a campaign it really does.
The rules are for company sized engagements so I won’t be playing these in 28mm.
Tonight I did some more work on the trolls.
These are nearly finished, hopefully tomorrow I will get them completed. Then onto more goblins.
Well yesterday when I got home there were two parcels sitting on my kitchen table. A book sized one and a 5kg box. I opened the book one as I was interested to see it. As I was knackered I left the box until today.
So here we have it in all its glory!
This was successfully funded on 28th July 2021. I now have it in my sweaty mitts. Yeah it’s a bit delayed, but to be fair to the Knights of Unity they have kept everyone up to speed on how things are going. Some people, (cough, cough), didnt really follow things as religiously as others… I am a pretty trusting kind of a guy.
So as part of the kickstarter we did get some add ons…
I could have spent more money on extras but decided against it.
The quality of the artwork and design is excellent…
The boards are double sided and there are lots of cards (183) and tokens (100+) I haven’t got a clue what to do with them yet!
The base set from the kickstarter comes with seven cars and two motorbikes. I thought they were going to be quite small…nope they are actually quite big…
The board itself is 55cm x 40cm, it uses a system where the cars move forward or backwards in relation to each other. If they hit the left hnad side they are classed and far behind and the right means they are far ahead…
I am going to paint the vehicles as I think they will look a whole lot better, especially the black one as there are no details visible due to the colours.
Here is a quick shot of the back of the box…
I will let you know how it plays out. I will see if Joe can get to the club on Thursday. If not there is a Billy no Mates solo option as well as a downloadable game on steam.
