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.

Prepping The Governor

Got started on this bad boy this morning.

I expect to put filler on the base later today, when the glue has dried completely (or tomorrow morning at the very latest).

I am probably not going to have time for any painting before Monday, as the weather now permits me to some work in the vegetable garden, and I cannot pass on that, if I want to be able to grow anything next summer, but I hope to be able to spend a lot of hobby time Monday to Wednesday, and perhaps bot get Brian painted and do some work on the female Barbarian for Lea's Sellswords & Spellslingers party.

At least, progress is made, and that is a good thing, right?

If everything goes to plan, I might then get my first The Walking Dead solo game going Thursday or Friday...

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.

Another Ruleset: KoW - Vanguard

When I received The Walking Dead, Prelude to Woodbury, Vanguard also arrived.

I was a bit disappointed to learn that I cannot play the game with the rule book alone, but need some special dice called Power Dice - which I shall have to order from Mantic, as nobody carries their products anywhere near me - IF I decide to play the game after reading the rules, that is.

I have only sniffed the rules for now, as The Walking Dead is more appealing to me at the moment (I only need to paint a single model to start playing the solo scenarios), but I would be surprised if I do not find the time to read Vanguard during some of the many cold dark winter evenings to come.
