First post of 2023

It has been a busy couple of weeks since the new year - no paint brush picked up yet - possibly because I need to do some remedial work on some hobgoblins I thought I had finished before Christmas - no pictures here so they can’t be quite “right”. Work has been intense - short staffed so extra cover to do on top of getting back into routines. 

The weekend just gone saw a wander around the moor - very wet and some low cloud.

CW from top left: Hare Tor, Sharp Tor from Hare Tor, Meldon reservoir and dam.

I have managed to assemble my Phobos Kill Team - this was originally the 1st edition set of Reivers, but I have added a few infiltrator models for the 2nd Ed team - got a bit of green stuff to do. I got some Space Wolf pauldrons to make them look swish. I might see if I can get hold of a couple more bodies so that I can have another knife man for this team, and a carbine man for my Argonauts chapter (6 marines needed for a 2nd ed Kill Team - they only have 5 reivers). 

After the game with Steedo I had a little look at the Blooded - Traitor Guard list and picked up the enforcer (commissar) and ogryn. The team will be a little light on specialists as GW changed some of the minis from Blackstone Fortress to the Kill Team versions of the traitor guard - but it is another team to get to the table. 

The last pictures are of what will be part of a clear out - but sad to sad I will be parting company with most of the 25/8mm DBA armies (Greek Hoplite, Persian, Macedonian and Thracian) - storage is an issue and they have not been touched since the first lockdown in 2020 … and if I checked the blog a while before then. I will do some nice pictures of the armies for the blog and selling - sad times. There is also an unpainted Carthaginian army by Renegade miniatures to sell. My biggest issue is timing the sales on eBay with when I can get stuff to the post).

Also Onus kickstarter than Steedo and I went halves on should be turning up soon and I don’t need the duplication.

Saturday should see an epic Twilight Imperium game down at Snake-eyes place. New factions and set up some should be interesting.
