Alea Empti Sunt!

Warlord Games rather quickly went back into business during the Blockdown, so as I had to get some Bolt Action Order Dice for Warlords of Erehwon, I was not late to get an order in.

I also ordered two sets of D10 to go with them as both WoE and Oathmark use those.

If I can get my historically inclined gaming buddy (Michael) on board for it, I may also have a go at Bolt Action at some point - I know he has a lot of  1/72 WWII British, so I could get some German stuff from Plastic Soldier Company or the likes.

SAGA: Age of Magic Dice

Today, I received a parcel from Lenton, UK. This time 11 days from dispatch to arrival (with one day being a Holiday), still is not bad, considering the domestic delivery times of PostNord.

I ordered two of each set of the Age of Magic Dice, so that I can cater for both sides, no matter whar factions are played.

I have been working slowly and steadily on the Skeleton Archers, but now I think it is about time I get some of them - preferably at least eight - ready for the table!

Tomorrow, we shall be visiting my mother-in-law, so I shall not get much hobby time in, but Sunday I should be able to splash some paint on the deadites (unless, of course, the weather suddenly decides to become agreeable, in which case I shall have to do some work in the garden).

I have to take some classes Monday and Tuesday, so this week I shall not be able to make gaming appointments those two days. Hopefully Thursday, I can get an appointment with Emil for some Age of Fantasy, and then perhaps SAGA or Grimdark Firefight with Ulolkish Friday (I shall be at work Fri-Sat-Sun nights), but we shall see about that, he may have other plans, I only got my schedule for the week two days ago.

Vanguard - Another Set of Rules for the Collection

I received the Vanguard rulebook with TWD: Prelude to Woodbury, and I was a bit miffed to learn that I need special dice to play the game.

When preordering TWD: Here's Negan, I added a couple of Vanguard Power Dice packs to the order, so now I should be able to actually play the game...

I have not yet read the entire ruleset, but I hope to have time for it during the holidays (the coming weekend is already booked up with julefrokost, getting a tree for Christmas, baking æbleskiver, and making cassoulet, as well as reading the rules for TWD: Here's Negan!

Prelude to Woodbury: 10" x 10" Mat (Almost) Done

I think I am going to paint over and re-drybrush the light patches (they are due to some old light yellow paint from when we redecorated before moving in - yes, I recycle 😉), otherwise I think it turned out quite well. It is not quite square, I shall have to cut off a thin strip at one side, but luckily it is too wide, and the mat will still be full size after the correction.

Some Mats for Prelude to Woodbury

After clearing some space on the dinner table, I cut and painted a 10"x10" and a 15"x15" mat of painters' felt. I opted for brown on the smallest one, as I am going to need that first, thus I want it to be done as quickly as possible, and I had to 'rescue' my partly dried up grey paint before I could use it. They are still drying by the way, that felt sucks up a lot of paint, and consequently the first layer takes quite some time to dry properly.

Tomorrow, if all goes well, I should be able to drybrush at least the small mat, and prep and rebase Brian (I am going to put all the models for this game on washers, too), and I just may move him forward in the painting queue.

The Walking Dead: Prelude to Woodbury

Ever since Mantic announced they were going to launch a Walking Dead game based on the graphic novels, I have been wanting a slice of the action. Now, finally, I have purchased the solo version of the rules, and am now all but ready to get stuck in (I just have to finish painting the last member of Lea's Sellswords and Spellslingers party, then I can paint Brian Blake and use some of my already painted zombies to get started).

I need to find a source for card sleeves fitting the character cards, though, as they have quite an unusual size (88 x 126 mm), and none of my usual pushers seem to have that size of sleeves in supply.

I hope to get my jungle bases done and put away tomorrow, and then get my dinner tabled cleared so I can make the 10"x10" and 15"x15" mats required for this version of the game. I should be able to clean up and rebase Brian Blake somewhen during the weekend, getting him ready for being painted, as soon as I finish Lea's barbarian, which I should also get back to painting this weekend, or Monday at the very latest.

Deadzone II, Unboxing

I backed Deadzone II in 2014 (I think), and now it finally arrived.

I shall be reading rules when not constructing Blood Eagle warbands, painting Vikings, blogging, walking the dog, gardening, jogging, cooking, sleeping, and being at work...

Do or Dice!



Arrived some days ago. With these and a complete set of the current SAGA rules, I am now ready to start making SAGA warbands out of my LotR minis (I may have to paint additional ones, but that's just an added bonus).
