Wargamer lacking in focus with too many projects on the go and too many unfinished and unplayed. Wargaming on and off since the 70s.

Monks finally finished. The Brothers gather at the edge of the woods where the bodies of two of their own have been found amid rumours of Devil worshippers in the woods...

3x2' board in a picture frame. Add a bit of terrain, and it's done. Plans are to use it for: 6mm Beneath the Lily Banners, 6mm Midgard WOTR & 10mm Midgard Warhammer Fantasy... Plus any other silly ideas I have!

And having spent the day at Battleground I only managed a little hobby time this evening before gin intervened...
Varnished the monks and started the basing...
VERY undecided on what to paint next....

Excellent day at the @pendraken.bsky.social organised Battleground Show in Middlesbrough. Lots of nattering and some great games. Only minor purchases and the main game that grabbed me was a SYW Zinnfigurin flats game.
And I resisted buying a 28mm Assyrian army... For now...

So. I used the wrong grey for the base coat. I blame the vodka.... Despite the test figure looking OK I've started repainting them all and have completed another two...
Needless to say, work was utterly shit again...

Having a big tidy up today and uncovered some fountain pens that belonged to my uncle. They are not hugely valuable or rare I think but I'd quite like to get them working again if possible. Top is a Mabie Todd Calligraphic, middle a basic Osmiroid, and bottom a Wyvern Perfect Pen No 81.

Primed some more monks... As you so... And stuck the Voynuks to bases... And drank some vodka...

Work was only moderately shit today. Car failing its MOT more than made up for the lack of twattery. Did manage some painting...
I think they are done. Not my neatest but once based and flagged they will be fine. Varnish later or tomorrow....and alongside the ones I tried to match.
