Family Time

     So, as I've stated before I'm something of an addict when it comes to miniature gaming.  And even though I purchase a lot of minis I don't really get the time to play.  So it was a wonderful gift this past Father's Day when both my oldest kids threw together a couple of armies from my collection and battled me for a three-for-all.

    My oldest chose her no-duh favorite, the Sisters of Battle, my son the Crimson Slaughter, and I ran my personal favorite, the Orks, with one of my new favorite pieces, Ghazkul Mag Uruk Thraka.  The table size and time limit were small, so we actually ended up engaging in combat first turn with literally no effort (I had to hold back some of the move distance on my Orks just so I could charge).  And i learned some things about all three of those armies, so overall it was a great match.

     It was fantastic to get a chance to spend some time on Father's day war gaming with my kids, and I hope we'll play more often.  Till next time.

A Far Flung Fall Off the Band Wagon

     Quarantine fatigue seems to have set in, as none of the projects I was working on have gone anywhere in weeks.  I've been endlessly spinning my wheels playing distracting video games and taking naps on the couch.  Even my kids seem to have quit on the hobby front, barely excited about D&D or board games.  Who knew having all the time in the world to play but being so worried its sickening could keep you from your passions?  I certainly didn't.

     But I'm trying to rally again.  I've busted out more miniatures to build, and tomorrow will base spray about fifty pieces.  And as many of them are Necrons, hopefully just a coat of Leadbelcher spray and nuln oil will be enough to get a decent looking force on my kitchen table, with some spot colors, of course.

     I really hope I can get back to working with my local gaming community soon, and re-spark that drive to fling paint and have awesome looking minis on the tabletop.
