Games in and out ….

So Osprey games send out a Black Friday offer, which a bargain in it! Imperium Classics for about £15 including postage. I had looked at this in the Orcs Nest a week or so ago, so it was snapped up.

What it’s arrived has caused an issue with space on the shelf … so I am looking at Kill Team here …

So I have to decide to see if I can sell the 1st edition (two books on the left) or 2nd edition …

GW has produced a new edition of Kill Team in the last 12 months, which I haven’t picked up. As I understood it the new edition has limited teams which you have to buy. 

2nd edition was based on fire teams which were a little bit of a pain to be honest - the 1st edition was very flexible, with the ability to pick what was in core book - the single expansion I have does have rules for most of the primaris space marine models.  The rules are more like Warhammer 40k from 2019 (I don’t know what edition of 40k that was). So currently i’m leaning towards keeping 1st edition (old expansions would also probably be cheaper on eBay). 

Will discuss with the collective moving forward on this plan.

Not much to update, but it is halfway through November

 A couple of weeks ago I was out on the moor - and a very nice day out it was too. The morning and evening …

We also saw a film set under construction at bottom of Fernworthy forest. Initially we thought it might be for the Harry Potter series (as they are filming in Lustleigh, but it might be for a William Defoe Werewolf movie set in the 1300s. 

Then this weekend we went up to London - the first stop was the V&A museum. A really interesting place to visit - so much there. But remember to book in advance for any special events - like the Marie Anntonete … we didn’t. 

Lots to do and see there - like the Natural History and Science museums just up the road. We did see everything there, better planing over a couple of visits is probably needed. 

Friday evening was watching Ricky Gervais at Wembley area - a good nights entertainment. Very funny and thought provoking at times. But I suppose that having watched all the others shows on TV means that the edge appears to have dulled a bit … still worth the watch. 

Saturday morning saw a trip to Convent Garden and a bit of a wander around. 

Managed to find the Orcs Nest game shop - hoping for some inspiration to get me out of my gaming malaise - I got a mug … the shop was small and had some nice stuff but nothing I needed or wanted. Still need to sort out some of my stuff to sell on. There we met up with my sister for lunch. 

After seeing my sister off, we wandered off to Trafalgar Square - Nelson’s column (with St Stephen’s tower in the background), the Christmas decorations in convent garden and the Rik Mayall bench in Hammersmith. While at Trafalgar Square we had a look around the National Portrait Gallery (lots of culture on this visit). The room numbering there was a little confusing but we managed to see some Holbein’s etc before ending up in the Van Gogh’s and the Monet rooms. Really cool. 

With some of my eBay money I have bought Voidfighter, as the rules seemed interesting and I would like to get some Babylon 5 and Battlestar fighter to play with … I might try with counters first. 

These might get out of my malaise … but what to do with the Star Trek attack wing stuff …
