Some time later.......

Well it's been almost 2 weeks, so back to post.

What's happened since last time?

  • The Fallschirmjager continue to progress. It's still slow, and I honestly think they will look pretty rubbish until completely finished - so no WIP pic. But, still feeling motivated to do it, which is something I usually struggle with.
  • I've played weekly games on Tabletop Simulator with a friend, Star Wars Legion last week. Enjoyed it very much. One problem I'm finding is that almost every time I play there will be a point where I get disconnected, not a problem with friends but it's put me off joining in the To the Strongest! group online.
  • Having watched some videos on the Artis Opus drybrush range I am incredibly tempted. As a rule I drybrush bases and sometimes hair/fur, nothing else because I just don't like the finish, but the results on these look fantastic.
  • Continue to lurk on the Mortem et Gloriam facebook page and forum. I have a tactic when I get drawn in by something new. Consume as much as possible to see if overexposure puts me off. Not working so far, but a couple of weeks left until payday, so still time. If not, a purchase of the box is on the cards for sure.
  • I've also watched a stream of the To the Strongest! conversion by the local club and I definitely want to have a go. Progress so far has been:
    • I have purchased a big piece of green felt to put over my table in the garage and drawn some squares on it. 
    • Mulled over specific options for ancients gaming - had no conclusion so sticking entirely with the fantasy conversion for now. Further reading needed to decide on something with some actual history.
    • Searched for paper minis I liked for fantasy given I want to have a play, not spend much money, and don't have enough things for 2 sides. This failed completely.
    • Decided that for the purposes of a play I could just use a couple of my Gloomspite minis per "base" (cardboard rectangle). It won't look as good, but it serves a purpose to see try it out with my son and/or daughter.
And that's the lot for now. Back in a week (or so).

Well I bought a thing

So back again, and the gap was somewhat longer than anticipated. Perhaps a monthly update is more my speed, and given I'm posting this for my own purposes it doesn't matter too much. A progress update: The Fallschirmjager continue to progress slowly. Purchase for these of some decal softener and fix, this should apparently help with them not sitting nicely on the sleeves which will be good as I wasn't entirely happy with my test mini. I got 2 of the Artis Opus drybrushes for Fathers Day. Having watched some more videos and done a bit of test I'm pretty confident I can get a better result out of them than I normally do drybrushing, but it needs some practice as I'm currently horribly inconsistent. Also very very interested in using the stippling/drybrush combo for my larger 40k vehicles and potentially my Gloomspite army. Testing to come after the Germans are finished. Mortem et Gloriam has been purchased. It's a lovely book and I'm a fan of custom dice. Curr...
