Work progresses on the three Lion based KDM expansions.  I’ve finished all work on the two actual lions and thrown myself in to all the people that came in those boxes.  I’ve embraced the “Growing human-like hands” elements of the lions this time around.  I used Green Stuff Worlds blood effect here.  Not because I think it’s better or worse than GW’s, but because it comes in a dropper bottle.  This let me pour it on the model and let it run where it should, hopefully giving a more natural effect than if I’d brushed it on.

With the lions done, I went back to work on the people.  I’ve finished the flesh and hair on them all, and begun work on the Lion Knights armour and his attendants book.  With all that done, the rest should come together well, with one exception.

I live in the UK and as I wasn’t born in to money I can’t really afford to run the heating this winter like I used to, due to corporate greed trying to hide behind the war.  As such my house is always cold.  The only room that’s not as cold (not warm either!) is my bedroom/studio.  This means I really don’t want to leave the room to go play solo games in the usual, now freezing, room.  I’ve found a workaround.  One of my 2×4 tabletopper gaming boards fits on and under my bed and Gloomhaven JoTL fits on it.  I was able to get in two more games without risk of frostbite, which would at least be thematic if I was playing Frosthaven instead.  I’ve only got 5 more missions available to me in the campaign, but 13 left in the box.

The eagle eyed amongst you will have noticed that my MTG total has gone back up over 100.  Aeon Trespass: Odyssey arrived this week.  I believe that’s given me 32 more models, with 12 plug and play parts for 6 of them.  You can climb some models in game so this lets you swap out a random tentacle or something and put a platform there instead so your Titan can actually stand on the monster.

I want to start work on this soon so I have the option to play the tutorial painted just as soon as JoTL is finished.  I want to clear the minis off my desk first though.  I’ve set up a project just for ATO over HERE, but it doesn’t contain much right now.  Once work begins I’ll populate it with more.
