What did you do today.

[Miguelsan]

Not a good photo but I introduce you to Mr Eversor in his finished form. God protect whoever has to face me because I'm taking him to NH and will make continous snide, badly phrased and probably too salty remarks about my opponents army until he is dead. (Especially MiJ's, Oh My! The amount of stuff you can say about elves in space )

I spent much of this week working on zombies.
Not sure which look I like best or how I will paint up the remaining three. They paint up pretty fast but I am not all that impressed with my results.

Nice work guys.
@Miguelsan - Snikt me!!!
@Auxryn - Try highlighting the skin up a little to bring out the details. Bloodstained and dirty zombies are great, but at 28mm, it's hard to make much out.

Today I did some more work on my Word Bearers and on some terrain.

A weekend spent doing housework and watching my offspring pretty much. He'll have his 2nd birthday in a week, and is definitely in the terrible-two stage already. Bites, spilt drinks, and general low level naughtiness. He can entertain himself to some extent but Daddy and Mummy need to orchestrate the cartoons, toys and books. I no longer have a functioning adult mind, the soundtrack in there is ten in the bed and wheels on the bus...
When he's asleep I've had a tiny bit of time in the evenings working on my Frostgrave gang, though. They're coming along slowly.

Today I had a very fun game of 40k, of all things - first I've had since Naghammer 2015. It was me (dark Eldar) vs Ashmie (ultrasmurfs) vs Egor (Eldar) in a 3-way game. Nice and relaxed atmosphere, nobody all that fussed about wining, and all in all a fine example of how fun 40k can be. Int'resting to note, we played the scenario according to a set of rules that magically popped into my head the day before, and it worked surprisingly well. 3-way games can easily become unbalanced, but this one worked out nicely. In case they may one day be useful, the rules we played were:

6 X 4 table. P1 sets up along one short table edge (12" deployment zone) the other 2 players set up along the 2 long sides, with each dep zone 4ft X 12" (as far from p1's edge as possible). This results in a table where p1 is 12" from each of the other 2 players, and they are 24" from each other. Each player then places 1 objective for each of their opponents inside their own deployment zone. You only score points by capturing your own objectives. Finally, kill points are used, but a player can only score a KP from alternate opponents. Ie if p1 kills p2's unit, he may not score another KP from p2 until he kills a unit belonging to p3. He can then only score a point from p2, and so on, back and forth.

Overall, this resulted in players not picking on anybody overmuch, and also moving around a fair bit (well, except ash, but he made a conscious decision to castle up.)

A good day of 40k. Many thanks to Ash and Egor, and also to Satoru for organising the day.

And had a chance to play Horus Heresy Betrayal at Calth, Had some trouble with some of the rules as some of them are vague and in typical GW fashion you are scrolling through the rule book to find the tidbit you are looking for.

I've got no painting done recently, because I installed the TIE Fighter collectors edition and have been blowing up digital X-Wings instead.

That seems like a good reason not to paint. I have fond memories of the old X-Wing/Tie Fighter/X-Wing Vs. Tie Fighter series of games. I saw them advertised on GOG.com recently, how does it run on a modern machine?

Did a bit of painting last night. My "what do I do with this extra putty" super-secret Judge Dredd side project actually turned out into something not utterly horrible. Well, it's horrible, but in a fun way. I've got an experimental, high-contrast, primary/secondary color comic book-ish sort of thing going. Not sure if it will turn out, but if it does it will be fun
