I hope everyone has enjoyed a Cracking Christmas and Cool Yule, that you've all been suitably rewarded for twelve months of "being good", and that no-one has over indulged (well, not
TOO much anyway) on festive fayre, and are ready to go forward into the New Year!
This was my first Christmas as a gaming blogger, and I've learned that "Christmas", "gaming", and "blogging" are not the best of bedfellows - well, not when they're all in the same time and relative dimension in space! Their interaction seems to speed up the hands of the clock, to the extent that the days pass by in a blur, and so I've developed my own 'coping strategy' and visited each activity in it's own 'time zone' which seems to have worked OK, and will only need a few tweaks in the future.
That's enough of the amateur philosophy, and since this is a modelling and gaming blog, this is what I've been up to over the Yuletide period......
My Witchfinder General campaign map shows a stone circle ("The Nine Ladies") , so I've set about modelling it on a pizza base - very much a work-in-progress at the moment, but shaping up.
Once the witches have their "summoning spot", there's every chance they'll need a demon of some description. I've put one on my shopping list, but for now I've painted up the gargoyle from the Ravenloft board game as a proxy
This unfortunate lass is a 'captive' from Black Cat Bases, in the photo she looks like a suitable offering for the demon, but will also be useful in several other "rescue" scenarios
At long last, I've finally got around to painting my old GW 'Garden Of Morr'...
.... which should make for some suitably "Gothic" looking encounters - as demonstrated by this recent skirmish between Stickler Michael and an EM4 Miniatures werewolf
I also painted the three zombies from the Ravenloft game, and used the crypts as a backdrop for their photo
Also, I was lucky enough to receive some mdf buildings for Christmas, and have made a start on the first of them. Like the stone circle, it really is still work-in-progress, but here's the "Timeline Miniatures" Norman Church supplied by 'Hoka Hey Wargaming', assembled and base coated......
...... the goats and sheep are straight off the painting bench (and will no doubt feature in next years Christmas Card nativity photo!!!)
I'll be gigging down in Whitchurch on New Years Eve and up in Leeds on New Years Day, so I know it's going to be busy and will take this opportunity to say that I wish you all the very best for the year ahead, and hope your brushes are busy and you have games galore!
Happy New Year 2018
