@rayzryr I looked at happysepuku (speaking of karoshi @evilstu ) a long time ago and wasn’t so keen. Looking at it again I see they’ve expanded quite a bit. I think that the Basius sets that were up for Kickstarter might also be another good investment into greenstuff molding for bases you should take a look at.

@dawfydd I was about to take you up on the Town Crier stuff but mage shot a link and I am set. Thank you for the offer. As far as what they used to call specialist games I was always partial to Mordheim. I managed to miss the late 90s push on games. It sucked that when GW got the license for LoTR they all went the way of the dodo.

On a happy note related to publications, I found that GW had the journal ‘Spike!’ for Blood Bowl. (Yeah, I’m late to the damn party but I brought a band of hooligans to liven things up) I was strapped for cash beyond what I stopped in for and I will try to catch what I can later. This all ties into the idea on what to paint up next as far as batches since I do have a Blood Bowl team of orks that I got nameplates printed for my pieces. I also got a coach plate made as well that I need to properly kitbash a figure for. Coaches and their animated reactions to calls sometimes have always been more entertaining than the action on the field.

As far as Gundam are concerned I’m not one much for the crazy kits out there as a whole but I’m a sucker for Iori Rinko. Yes, I claim dibs on her to be part of my waifu harem. I have purchased a couple of the Bear G-Guy kits. One was a gag that I wasn’t able to deliver and the second is going to be an airbrush test for some Mr. Hobby gloss black enamel as a primer to put metallics over and see what a difference that will make for the AK Mig and Vallejo Air I have followed by some thinned Army painter.

@mage I thank you for the info my good fellow. I might well need to kick into the FLGS and speak to the young people there about the game. This I will need to do after building some terrain and maybe(one day) finding some time that other people are actually hanging around.

In other news I just received my Minicrate for the Legend of the Five Rings subscription. Not really a fan of the Lion clan but the sculpt for Matsu Tsuko is impressive. I still have one of the metal Lion sculpts wielding a naginata (one of the champions?) and have a resin 40mm set aside for it.

Anywho, off to bed for work awaits.
