Well I wasn’t keeping an exact count but I think I went through 8 tubes of cheap superglue today. Assembled 7x 6 inch wall sections,  3 viking longships (still need to affix another 70 shields…) 3 bolt throwers a townhouse and made  a start on a Governor’s residence. Still have an Inn and a Chapel to do, plus a couple of siege towers to finish assembling. Got some that lot partly primed too, will try and get another coat of primer on tomorrow if the opportunity presents. Also had a test game smashing together Warhammer 9th ed rules with Sharp Practice. was quite interesting. I may do a write-up, will need to have a think about how a few things played out or how they could be changed. Was also interesting to see how the army rules for the Albion army (war Fury) and Norse Army ( Counter-Charge and Beserkergang) special rules interacted (quite violently in actuality…). Going to need bigger units of infantry – 10 man blocks melted to nothing after 1 round of combat…

@sundancer keen to see how the new IA additions look once you get them and get round to incorporating them into your forces. 10 points.

@tuffyears Assassin’s Creed totally counts as hobby (research?… inspiration for terrain?…) so don’t stress 🙂 Congrats on the award! I’ve made a few attempts at getting into WoT over the years but given up in fairly short order. I find the atmosphere on the lower tiers to be, er, let’s say, uncooperative at best 😉 I’m sure once you push past the F2P crowd then things do settle down a bit though. 10 points.

@robert thanks for the shots. So those Dwarves are a fairly solid mini then! Would work well in a heroic 28mm army. Not that I need another army to work on right now… And thanks for the tips on liquid greenstuff. Smart strategy to try it out with some expiring glue as nothing to lose. Now if only I could find a homemade recipe for superglue activator… Bicarb and white spirits maybe?… Yes the nice thing about KoW is that the rules are elegantly simple. You feel like you are playing a mass combat game but there is so little record keeping. I really need to work on my basing game. well, I guess what I should say is that I feel obliged to consider working on my basing game but for any project bigger than warband size I just go for tried and true glue on sand and rocks with PVA/Glue on flock/glue on tuft grass. ‘m not really up for doing anything more convoluted 150 times in a row ;-P 40 points.

@woldenspoons well played. I’m going to avoid most internet forums for the next few weeks at least for similar reasons 😉 10 points.

@limburger apologies I didn’t mean to concern you – conan is not difficult, it’s just out of all the stories there was one line that could have potentially benefitted from a rewrite. But is was the first story and once you get past that things just roll from one epic adventure to the next. It’s a fun romp, albeit a product of it’s time. Loved Neuromancer, I think the descriptor is as you say, a static picture on TV (apparently that was actually caused by background space radiation, can’t quite remember what kind though…). Oooh Chronos is so pretty! So. Much. Detail. 10 points.

@horati0nosebl0wer don’t stress the army looks great as is. Yes I’ve heard urban myths on secret vaults in the vatican which house all sorts of confiscated heretical manuscripts from throughout history. Would be a great plot hook for a modern/horror RPG – thief breaks in, sells trove to a dealer, dealer distributes on the black market, the wealthy and corrupt have access to arcane mystical lore, chaos ensues… Congrats on the incoming KS. Any chance you could keep aside a small cache of basic colours and a few brushes so you could at least put down base colours on a couple of minis rather than having everything unpacked? 30 points.
