Thanks everyone.

No, I don't have any of the Blood Moon bog raiders.

Thank you!


Today I got one of my "holy grail" oldschool minis...



Humble as the mini may seem, I haven been trying to get one for many long years. Today he arrived.


"Welcome. We've been saving a space for you...."



Now my MM ogre regiment/collection is complete. Everything else on my painting table just got pushed aside...

I'm not usually a "completest" collector but in this case I've been dying to get that last ogre for years!


No more marsh-y themed minis for March. I'm still working on stripping the paint from those old Marauder trolls, and looking for the remaining two that I still don't have.  In the meantime, I am soaking the other four in some Dawn Power Dissolver, at the recommendation of Blue. My usual go-to, Simple Green, just wasn't cutting it this time. I did manage to strip, prime and start on the MM41 ogre that finally completes my collection.

While that's all going down, I also, miraculously quick, finished the Westfalia goat knights!




So with Big April coming up, I'm looking forward to...





Giants! (And the above-mentioned ogre.) A bit ambitious, and slightly out of focus it seems. First will be finishing the paint on the Warploque giant. While that's going on, I will prep the other two -- from Heresy and Otherworld.

IF, by some miracle that all gets done, I have more in mind. I would still REALLY like to sculpt my own giant. Given the timing, that's been on my mind again and I think I've got a decent picture in my head of that I want to do. Also, I've got some more giants here, still waiting to be painted. I have several of the Reaper Bones giants from their last KS. These are a bit larger than the older sculpts, and in fact one is a resculpt of one I've previously painted.

I've also got the extra heads from the Otherworld giant. The web site says to select one, but they ended up sending all three. I could try to magnetize them so they're swapable. Or maybe I can work out a way to get an extra giant out of the deal...



...oooooor maybe not.


I recently bought the PDF of Sellswords and Spellslingers recently. I was impressed enough with the possibilities for both solo and co-op skirmish gaming that I ordered the cards from Drive-Through Cards. There are actually four sets of useful cards available. You don't need them all, but the price for professionally printed cards didn't seem bad, so I went for all of them.



At first glance (they just arrived today) the cards look like very nice quality.

I'm hoping to try a solo game soon. Need to build my first band of adventurers!

Very jealous of that Heresy Giant. Can't wait to see it painted up.

It was partially because of all the discussion here at LAF that I looked into it. Seems like an accessible game with some excellent potential for solo options. I'm hoping to roll some dice with this game very soon!

Thank you. Those are some of my favorite Citadel-ish minis, and my top pick from Marauder. Very happy to finally have the full set.

I've had a little time to work on the Warploque giant. One pic, but go to the blog to see more, in the best entry title I think I've ever come up with... Warploque Drunk Walter Skank Jerk Matthau
