Going to be tricky getting anything done this weekend, as it’s Salute – I know, it’s only a train journey up from Brighton, but it’s Southern Trains so I may as well be setting out from Aberdeen 😉

Maybe see how things are going on Sunday….

Pledge
I’m in a major cleaning and building minis mood at the moment so going to continue doing that.  I’ve pulled a few random things of the shelf and have a finecast Great Unclean One that will need a lot of work, and a little box of random Forge Father stuff I want to build as well.  I also have to finish building the old monopose Plague Marines as well.  Got some of the Forgefathers cleaned and ready for priming already today and also got a box of Warlord’s Armoured Pikemen ready as well – I had great fun drilling out some of their left hands so I can glue their pikes in after I have them painted.  If I can get those things done tomorrow, I’ll either grab more stuff to build or set the airbrush up and do a load of priming on Sunday.

Questions

My answers will be short and sweet.

1. Not really, apart from making stuff up back or copying stuff from White Dwarf when I played lots of games of WFB and Epic.

2. Does Solitaire count?

3. Not really.

Music

This might inspire me to get a few more of my Arabs painted up next week as well.

1. Have you played many or any narrative play or games? Or narrative modes of exsiting games? And what would you recommend? We will stick with games involving miniatures here ? No house rules or homebrewing.

So if miniatures are mandatory then I would say the games I played are Imperial Assault, Mouse & Mysic and Fallout. If you have kid definitely give Mouse & Mystic a chance. It’s a lovely tale.

2. Have you ever played a one player tabletop game (card, board, mini or other)? Could you tell us about it or recommend one? Regardless of whether it was designed just for solo play or had solo play as an option? No house rules or homebrewing.

Imperial Assault and Fallout but both only very short time. When I have time to do so my brain is usually in shutdown mode for bedtime and it’s hard to concentrate on rules you need to learn. Fallout lends it very well to single player play because no app is needed. For playing IA by yourself you need the app.

3. Is there any game in the spirit of the above two questions you are eyeing up? What is it? Why does it excite you? Tell us about it and show us links

Currently no. Because no new system in 2019! But if the Fallout expansion “New California” will be translated I will give that one a go too.

Lets play some music:

Whelp for the first time in 6 years I’m not at this years Salute, and generally just feeling a bit “meh”, at least so far as having the energy to get to my painting space. I have done a bit of  hobby over the last few days into this morning:

@mage sent me (amongst other things) an Easy to Build Redemptor Dreadnought that I knocked together this morning, and I did a bit of carving to replace the Heavy onslaught Gatling Cannon with a Macro Plasma Incinerator that came in a bits lot, and put together most of a squad of Intercessors  from a mix of the ETB kit, Dark Imperium, and a few spare  parts that were knocking around. I’m thinking I’ll order a few copies of the DI sprue that has the Lt’s and Ancient once that issue of Conquest is up for pre-order as it offers up a few different poses and you can use the 2 LT’s  and the Ancient body  for more conversion fodder. These are all part of the Raptors tertiary project I’m working on amongst all the others 😉
I do need to order some Raptors insignia off Shapeways though….

Did I post that the latest Asset Drop Discovery box came last week? If not then it looks most spiffy – more colour shift paints from Turbodork  (these ones working over a white base), some crystal paints from Mig (should be good for lenses), a set for painting whites and Instars new Water+ thinning medium,that sounds intriquing. Oh, and some Haribo (they didn’t last the day 😀 )

Otherwise, today big’ol box arrived that I think contains my copy of Core Space from the Kickstarter,so I’ll have a route through that later, and finally Deskbot duties are currently being handled by this superior Decepticon and his associates….
