Shieldmaiden Update

 Just a brief one here, but I got them all painted!

Four archers, four slings, four axes, and a leader, and just plain fun to paint.

I did try some new paint things for them, so I'm counting this as that space for bingo. Hey, my bingo, my rules.

Next? Who knows!

Spring Break!

Rather, my niece and nephews had spring break, which was nice, because it meant that they could come up to visit and hang out and paint with their strange uncle! And thus we did.

We painted some hero quest figures, and my nephew brought up a few miniatures of his own (Tau and Necron guys, I believe) that he's been gifted. The ones pictured he painted, and he even gave them snowy and icy bases of his own design! A good time overall.

A few days later we got in a game of Fireteam, the Kill Team lite that I actually prefer. My second oldest nephew and I played, and the game ended in a tie. (There's a mechanism for settling ties, but we decided to leave it that way)

Fun times for all, and also two bingo squares. Though in this case that's the least important part.

A Small Hero the Size of a Large Hero

 It's been a bit again! Well, I had surgery, and I'm recovering well. Had some time once I was through the worst of post op unpleasantness to do some painting, so here's an example!

He's an ogre, from cursed city, I think, but also he was just a lot of fun to paint! And also he gets to count for a bingo square: paint a hero!

Huzzah and such!

Necromunda Bingo

Game 3 of Necromunda, and this one was quite fun! My wife played Squats again, while I rolled out my Orlocks once more. Our gracious host set up a very impressive board, while playing GSC.

The goal this time was to grab some boxes from the center of the board, and then make a mad dash to the edge. I tried to keep a bit more focused on that goal this time, and it paid off, for the most part. There was a fun moment where my two gangers carrying two cases managed to both get hit by a grenade blast, which was fun. We had to wrap things up before the official end, and I was in the lead, but it could have easily swung the other way.

     Action Shot!

 

Overall a blast, and also another bingo square to check off! 

 

 

Stargrave, Demons, and One Bingo Square

 I've picked up... just a few stargrave and frostgrave minis lately. Specifically, I ended up getting the frostgrave demons and the stargrave troopers, for the simple purpose of making some demon troopers. I mean, why not, right?

I ended up using ten of the trooper bodies and ten of the demon bodies, for 20 overall. I like them a lot, the modular nature of the minis allows for a big range of kitbashes, and these ones make me happy. I'm not sure what their deal is yet, background wise. I like the idea of creatures that appear traditionally evil but are more complicated, so probably something along those lines, for whatever I use them in.

In the meantime, though, that's one bingo square!

Progress!

Hobby Bingo! (Personal Edition)

 I like the idea of hobby bingo, it's a nice way to set some goals and have a tangible way of marking off that you've met them. Plus, it's bingo, and bingo is fun. I've been looking around for a decent one to try out this year, and haven't really had much luck in finding one, so I decided to make my own! It's a bit more focused on... well, things that I personally can do, hopefully games with friends and family and such. But here it is:

We'll see how it goes as the year goes on!

New Year Necromunda

 A new year! And I've got the chance to play a couple of games of Necromunda with some friends. Two casual games, one where I played as Squats, the other where I played as Orlocks. I'm pretty sure I lost both, but the experience itself was fun, and that's the important part.

The first game (board pictured above) mainly involved my Squats repeatedly being hit in the head by falling debris, and then falling off of ledges.

The second involved my wife taking charge of the Squats and proceeding to slaughter everyone who came within gun range. Good times for all!
