Bored games....

Oops I meant board games ;)

Have picked up Command and Colors Napoleonics.. 2games and 2losses but fun still :)

still playing Operation Squad... Not looking forward to Club Tuesday as it's back to 5150....

Have signed up to help Rich demo game at Hammrhead show, might dig out some bring n buy stuff.

Cheers Shaun

Fffffffff sake ..... !!!!!!

Well I am in funk still, the doldrums.... And I can't seem to shift it, 7 months maybe?

Have managed to pump out some 15mm SciFi bits and pieces, but nothing much really...

Am playing 5150 but not liking it at all this time round...
Have bought Command And Colors Napoleonics with a view to more table top battles... Didnt mind playing Battlelore at the weekend, wonder if I should get the new anniversary edition of Battle Cry....

Have stuck n prepped some 28mm WW1 Renegade Brits to do as Guards for a VBCW. Havent done the Germans yet to use as BUF assault troops... Or jagers for the Anglican League troops...

And don't get me started on the 10mm Impetus stuff or the 28mm Kings of war stuff from mantic.... Or rebasing my GW fantasy stuff to use on impetus sabot bases.... Greer and arghhh just can't be @rsed to do any of it..

Oh and war-games factory have said the WSS infantry will be sent soon.... Meh whatever

Anyone want to buy a hobby? Must collect tho as shipping may cost ya more than the lead/plastic/wood mountain

Rant and moan , rant and moan

Cheers Shaun

44 down, 260 odd to go

Two posts in a month, wondes will never cease :)

Well i managed to finish some 15mm SCiFI figures from GZG, some sort of yanks in space types. Black Flak jackets, grey jumpsuits and white helmets, yes its the rebel alliance :) as suggested by my 11 year old son Craig. GZG Alien Mercs to follow and PEndraken 10mm Aliens all based for skirmish using the yahoo group 'gears of war' ruleset FUBAR, easy enough set with some nice ideas that lend themselves to house rules, and they are FREE :)

off to Warfare at Reading Saturday... Inspiration needed still... need to get to 1000 PPs by January 1st

Shaun

two months to go..... oops

Well after two weeks of training I finally start at my store tomorrow. No more 2 hour drive home thru London traffic.... 12 mph is not what my car is built for, hopefully tomrrows journey will take closer to 12 minutes as its only a couple of miles :)

Still havent found my painting keen tho...

Projects i should be painting are :

10mm American civil war
15mm Sci Fi
28mm Ancients - Dark Ages
28mm Fantasy armies

Stuff i have brought recently include...

28mm Conquest Normans Plastic :)
28mm Plastic WSS Infantry from WargamesFactory
Lots n Lots of multi slot bases (plinths as my mate Bob calls them) from Warbases.com

I really cant seem to shift this painting block tho......

I recently dropped off some painted AWI figures to an old friend Ron Ringrose, he usually rebases them to fit in with his main armies, when we realised that this is the third time he has bought my AWI collection, as we looked over his various collections I could pick out figures I have painted over the last 20 odd years.... one day I will keep some for me.... maybe. The figures were mid battle on his impressive battlefield in the 'garden shed' wargames room, photos will apparently be online curtesy of Joe Dever at some point, Inspiration and Desperation in equal measures tho.

Cheers Shaun

new beginnings...

Hi all,

Am starting a new job on Monday.... am sure the end of my hobby draught will follow quickly after that.

I have realised I paint to de-stress from work, no stress = no inclination to paint.

SELWG here I come, please please please inspire me......

cheers Shaun

blink.... 2 months? really

Well that went quick,

Work is nearly finished, got the redundancy money (pfft... thats what 15 years loyalty is worth?) and am now on temporary weeks work emptying the last stock from the warehouse.

I have also been busy doing commission work and finally finished some ancient units that were for sale at Salute, along with my AWI stuff .. i will get to keep some oneday!! Anyway managed to break evene on the day and stil have some bits left to sell on ebay or at bring n buys at coming up shows.

Also bought some unit bags from Renegade to try and turn over for a small profit.

Gaming has been slack of late, but mostly 'FLying Lead' moderns and VBCW.

and LAPR season started well, cold event, low turnout but did manage to get very, very drunk :)

cheers Shaun
