533 - 6MMRPC 15 - Progress!

Wotcha.

Despite my stupid, stupid workload and the fact that we've had absolutely no internet access for a week, I've not only managed to paint more of those okses (almost there!), I've also been planning for a friendly Bolt Action tournament in February. With luck, I'll actually get to play a game this week!

Yes, watch this space: I think good ol' Colonel Gravis will be kind enough to host me for a game on Friday, and (although it's not all finished yet) this is the force I intend to take. It's been a while, but yup - here is a brand new Draxian Painting Chart (TM):
[above] Painting Chart, and [below] who's there.

Note that I'm going for a pretty damned fluffy list: a full platoon with a very typical support element. I like fluffy, characterful lists: that way, if I don't win, I don't mind - I'm just telling a story!
And with that,

I'm off.

Take care, All, and thanks for swinging by!

532 - An Amazing Community of Wargamers

Hi, all.

This post is respectfully dedicated to ex-service personnel and veterans.

You may just enjoy this, which I was privileged to be involved with this week:

...and yes, you're right: that IS a film that someone is making about our hobby...with some top lobbying names in it, too!

Why not check out their kickstarter (linked from the blog entry linked above)?

Oh, and lest we forget...:

531 - 6MMRPC 14 - Five Down; Four To Go!

Yup. More glacial progress on Da Masta Cheef's Orkses. Never let it be said that I am a speed-painter.

Obviously the mobile phone pic doesn't really do them justice, but if you look closely, they do have a kind of desert-y colour palette, and I promise you some of the details really are more subtle than they appear here!  

Hope all's well, folks...
