Ok, I can finally pop in here properly. My son is gone home after this visit so I can now do hobby orientated stuff. Time to sit down and catch up.

My pledge:
**********

-> Complete my 100 models in 24 hours challenge (basecoats)
-> Complete the Goblin King.

Ill add more to it as a I complete stuff and post pictures, but I like to pledge small and produce large.

My answers!

1. What’s in your reading pile at the moment (podcasts totally count as reading in time-poor 2018 BTW)

A few things. The D&D Storm Kings Thunder campaign book. We are on Chapter 10. You can never make yourself too familiar with a scenario you are running. Especially one you have not written yourself. I also have a Legend of Zelda Manga I picked up a couple of weeks ago in Galway to read. There is also Skyheart, a kickstarter comic book I backed and received. And the Konflikt 47 rulebook. Also the youtube channels I watch (Tested, Boogie2988, Mecha Gaikotsu, Trainer Tips). Im all caught up on Bleach on Netflix. There is only three Seasons. I have Season 4 and 5 on DVD but they are filler Seasons. Ive ordered the next on DVD in the mail at a good price. Im a collector and like my hard copies too. The new Live Action movie renewed my interest in something I stopped with a long time ago which I still care about and love.

2. Prompted by the antics of @mage last week, have you ever considered an ‘iron hobby’ challenge where you set yourself a short deadline to churn out a lot of hobby output? If you were going to attempt one, what goals would you set yourself? What rules would you put in place?

Um… is this a trick question… Yes? I shall do another! BWAHAHAHA!

I might set another one for Thursday. Going away Wednesday evening so that might not work. Or Tuesday to Wednesday and Thursday to Friday. Hmmm….

3. Are bespoke miniatures your thing or do you prefer large quantities of homothetic plastic minis? That is, if you had credit for a big online miniatures store, would you prefer to use it for a few low-quantity run miniatures form a small manufacturer, or a higher number of plastic miniatures from a larger manufacturer? No right or wrong answers, just keen to hear people’s thoughts. 10 years ago I would have gone for the ‘more is more’ option but nowadays I’m personally morre drawn to things that are a little more individual

Bespoke? Homothetic? What?

It depends on what I am in the mood for to be honest. If I have churned out a lot of minis, say a horde of 40 Corsairs for my Dark Elves last year, then I tend to want to do something different like a few characters, a different genre, or scale, or a monster. Or just build a bunch of stuff and go back to painting other things.

At the moment, I want to build up my terrain. Thanks to @evilstu that has worked. So some terrain and some matts to put said terrain on and play. Also I want to build a Goblin town board. I do want a bunch of Frostgrave, Perry, Fireforge plastic kits for kitbashing.

Also, I want various AoS kits to do conversoins and parts swaps and have a unique looking army (though I am copying a lot of the ideas off GW painter Chris Peach’s twitter pics of his Order army). I want Greatswords, Dark Elves Warriors, Wood Elf Wildwood Rangers, a Hurricanum. Some other stuff…
