It has been a busy few weeks - the better half had an milestone birthday, which due to COVID restrictions meant we had 2 parties (one for family who could make it and one for friends we could fit in the garden - there are a few people to catch up with) either side of the actual day.
Yesterday I was out helping check point DofE with work - I have to say I wasn’t expecting a 14+ hour day. Again due to COVID the kids training wasn’t as we would have liked, so they we struggling with navigation, the route the leader had picked and the very hot weather - to be fair they did well under the circumstances.
Anyway on to the important stuff in the world, which has done ok in spite of the pandemic - gaming ... well the gluing things together part bit. I have put together the Mantic games Military Checkpoint kit.
The watchtower.
The main bastion and walls - and some pipe work stuff. The kit is nice - with some clever features but is a bit of a pain to put together as the connectors can’t quite hold it together when trying out the layouts. I have superglued it now so that’s it. Got some sanding to do on the pipes then a grey spray primer is hit this and some other stuff. It should work well for Kill Team and Starship Troopers.
Talking (or more correctly writing about it) of Kill Team I pick up the book and cards for the Pariah Nexus expansion - mainly for the new Primaris and Necron Stats. I had read that the rules were rather tied to the Necrons, but I think with some house rules and possibly some spaceship floor plans an interesting addition to Kill Team. We will see.
Having first face to face miniatures game this evening, so better prep (pack stuff away) for that.
