Well well well, I feel like I got a lot more accomplished this week than maybe I actually *did* but who's counting, right?
First up, I have five "women and children" that will be part of a unit of javelin-equipped Kerns in my SAGA Irish warband:
And what would an Irish warband be without a Wandering Bard?
I am replacing my Fiannas made from Saxon models with more javelin-armed guys, so I have a few extra Saxon axemen roaming about. A quick look through the extras allowed the start of a new SAGA Anglo-Saxon warband. It's not much to look at yet, but it's progress:
Fast forward 1,000 years, and I have finished painting my Type 4 Ke-Nu for Bolt Action. It is the first model in my Imperial Japanese army. It was 3D printed by Bashytubits:
Today, I played a small game of Lion Rampant, only 12 points but in preparation for the Las Vegas Open's Lion Rampant event tomorrow, which will be a multiplayer game which each participant fielding, you guessed it, 12 points. Mostly I wanted to see how all the rules would work, I was playing to test not to win and I lost pretty soundly:
Not even Super Saiyan Goku the slinger could turn the odds in my favor:
And *this* is why it is important to pay attention to how the colors in your pattern interact with one another…
I am waiting for my order from Black Tree Design. There was an error in the restock from England, so it is taking longer than expected. In the meantime, I have finished painting all of the models for my current projects. I have the Saxons waiting, but they are more of a "side" than something I am actively trying to wrap up. Once I finish the Irish, I will be ordering the WWII Japanese. Maybe Saxons after that, or maybe I will go back to working on stuff for DBA. I never expected to be working on two separate historical armies as main projects and have no sci-fi or fantasy even on the premises to be worked on.
Strange times, indeed.
