Well, it would look pretty foolish with nunchucks wouldn't it?

That is a great paintjob though.

I have had a few days left to my own devices before work begins..I am spending my time very constructively indeed, by, erm, listening to a Brian Blessed autobiography whilst doing a little painting (entertaining..frankly though, he could read the telephone book and you'd be entertained), also completed a fighting fantasy book designed for people about 30 years younger than myself (and loved it). Also trying to jump on the Daredevil bandwagon via Netflix to see what the fuss is about. Seems topical as all the cool kids are watching. Oh, and tonight I finally completed X-Com Enemy Unknown. Huzzah.

Daredevil is alright. Enjoyable hokum. It's basically a light cop show interspersed with a dude beating the absolute snot out of people (not at all like my beloved Dredd, oh dear me no). I know little about the Marvel and DC universes, since my comic experience such as it is comes from being a keen 2000AD fan back in the day (playing catch up with that in recent years), with a smattering of Alan Moore and a fair bit of Grant Morrison thrown in. Very British, outlook then. But I'm quite enjoying the show for what it is... though I still can't swallow the central conceit that this feller is blind. Nah, not having that. Good background viewing, and it's refreshing at times to have something on that doesn't demand your full attention like House of Cards or similar. I wish they'd make a bloody Dredd series though.

@Prim, reminded of Black Sails again. I began it, got 3 episodes in and didn't finish for some reason. Might get onto that tomorrow from the start once more.

Since when is Infinity a "hard" sci-fi game?

Never mind the giant robot having a sword - it's got giant robots which are a ridiculous idea to begin with. Then there's the staggering unlikelihood of five of the seven alien races being humanoid, and at least one of them sharing the same cellular biology as humans. To top it off, there's the flat-out magic of the Dog-warriors somehow doubling their mass when they transform. There's no good way to explain that. It's pure pulp soft sci-fi, it just tries to hide it.

Jehan-reznor, yes, those are Yu Jing. I wasn't so keen on orange, so olive green it is.

Ha ha, fair enough. I guess the cat girl medic upthread should've been a tip-off too.

Wrong thread but a belated thanks to everyone for the games on Sunday. Had a ball, as always.

Been busy this week painting more SS, pinning heads on even more SS and also decided on a colour change for my Panzer IV - went with a german grey, which may or may not be entirely 'late war' but I'm going to say it's an older model that has been kicking butt since the the early 1940s. From what I've read, that seems plausible...

Very happy with how it's turned out anyway. Now to decide on my next BA army

yesterday I made Bakewell Slices (double quantity, freeze half.) Today I bought a coffee grinder to grind spices. Been off work for a week and I'm turning into Mary Berry already...

Today I finished off a few minis.

A unit of Zulus.

Some Orcs and a Ghoul.

And finally, a Wereshark. Why a Wereshark? Why not?

MiJ: congratulations on your new found freedom. Happy days are here again.

Prim: I'll check out Black Sails, is that on you tube? One drama I'm loving as much as Breaking Bad is Better Call Saul. I am James McGill! What a very real show that's turning into.

Great minis everyone. It's inspiring.

Yesterday I got very drunk at hanami. Hopefully today I can do some painting, heh.
