A little painting done

I have managed to paint a Blackstone Fortress adventurer - the Navigator. 

I am pleased with how the purples came out - I think that I now have enough adventurers to actually play Blackstone Fortress - perhaps a go before Christmas.

Below 5 regiments of 15mm Saxon cavalry for Age of Reason games - well Maurice or GaPa. At the back are 3 regiments of dragoons - some of which are survivors of my old British and Dutch armies sold off long ago.

The cuirassiers are refugees from the old French army  - all of these are Roundway miniatures. The standards are a little rough - but very small to paint.

It’s nearly Christmas!! Well not really …

Well haven’t I been busy with lots of things … but not  much game related.  

Been for a ramble on Exmoor and saw lots of Red deer - which was nice.  

Also managed to finish the house alterations - apart from putting the pictures back up as we have to order some new furniture for the master bedroom and then decide where the old stuff goes. 

I have started on a couple of the Blackstone Fortress heroes, so should be able to play a game soon. I have also painted some command stands for the Saxon Age of Reason army, but if I and honest nut the best painting - I think that the old rank and file (which I painted 20 years ago) are probably better. But they are painted, so could be a battlefield soon … pictures when they are varnished. 

The collective have managed to organise a pre Christmas get together, which should be fun. I understand that the Game of Thrones board game (after being played once about 7 years ago) and Battlestar Galactica (a classic of the group - I think we have only one once in about 10 plays), will be the games on the table. The six of us should hate each other by the end of the day. Because all six of us are playing it does limit the games we can play - especially miniatures games as they generally suit 2 to 4 players. Will have to get some smaller games in soon. Especially as I have painted stuff for Blackstone and Kill Team … amongst other things. 

Work has been hectic - which is nice … I think that it the dark nights and mornings which are sapping my motivation at the moment … things will get better.
