Nice to see the BSSC entry in action - hope it gets on the 2'x2' next 
The trees came out nicely, well worth the effort.

Yeah, Santa keeps all the time for himself to make sure stuff gets delivered in one night, I guess.
Hope you'll find a bit of it to get stuff going again in 2024 

So tomorrow...hopefully (it's been a hell of a week) I shall be playing a game pitching a Sci-Fi force against a Fantasy force to see if it works...or not. Here's the scenario and the force lists...


As you can see the forces come out about the same points but its 5 vs. 15. Let's see if fancy armour and rifles can stand up to bows and spears, I'll let you know how it goes.

Sadly, things have been far to quiet here...but I haven't been idle.

Now back in Jan my plan was to try and do something about all the projects and jobs I had hanging about cos my head was starting to burst and my brains were beginning to dribble out my ears. I have autism and so it's easy for me to get overloaded, especially with work getting busy too. SO I sat down and tried to come up with a plan of action...

My first step was to finally get around to putting everything I didn't want to keep on eBay...but that got scuppered after I realised I was rapidly approaching the sales limit. While not a big problem (I can put them up for sale in the new financial year) it does leave me with a job half done which is never good for someone on the spectrum.

After a couple of weeks (at least) mentally realigning myself I decided to try and get some jobs done around the house, fixing a loo, repairing a tumble dryer and making a training qiang (spear). With that lot done I also finally got back on a VERY long running project of fitting a handle to my Ewart Park Bronze Age sword blade...this is still on-going but almost there now, all parts fitted so just a refining of the shape then a blade polish.

As part of my eBay sorting I did compile everything unpainted that I wanted to keep and this is it...
Well, apart from some old HQ minis and a classic Marauder treeman who didn't make the pic. Not a very revealing pic I know but the sharp-eyed among you may be able to spot some classic RT plastics here, namely Squats, Marines, Orks plus metal RT Eldar and some Kev Adams goblins (not citadel). There are also some plastic sprues for a human farm I'd like to build at some point; I have enough for a farming couple and some animals.

I've also been tweaking my Classic Wargame rules and put together a box to keep everything neat and tidy, plus with the inside of the lid lined in foam it makes a handy dice tray.
It's also a handy place to keep sketch books (in green), warband lists and some notes and ideas as well as all the templates, cards, dice and a tape measure. It's hard to see in the pic but the updated rulebook has a clear plastic cover front and back and is bound together with a classic Japanese bookbinding technique I copied off youtube.

I can't remember if I showed this before but I made a mock up of a pulse pistol to help when I next attempt to sculpt one.

Here's another quick mock-up I built last week for a future goblin settlement...

I'll go into more detail down the line but the basic idea is to build a full size goblin warband using my CW rules, complete with a settlement, and play some themed games.

Finally, though I had originally wanted to make the goblin warband first I decided to go with some classic plastic minis. When I first conceived of CW I wanted to build an orc warband using the minis from HeroQuest; though mono-pose these guys are great.

I gave them all shields, much more fitting for a battlefield, and converted both the ogre (changing both his arm positions) and the boss, giving him a plastic RT head and changing the position of his shield arm. I do have a few more of these old plastics so may well expand it in the future...but they need painting first.

Thanks Khusru2.

I found I kept loading up on projects then offloading them once it got too much...then I'd slowly load back up again. I'm now trying to be strict with myself; I nailed down the projects I wanted to stick with and some I'm kinda on the fence about then I'll offload the rest; I'm also going to try and be strict with my purchases, only picking up what I need to finish my current project and maybe the odd fun little palette cleanser.

That's the plan at least...

One advantage with my Classic Wargame rules is that even a 'big' force is at most 30 minis or so.
