It always gets busy in December

Last weekend saw a trip to Heathrow to collect Thing 1 and her fiancĂ©e, after 14 months away in Indonesia (well Bali 1 month) , Vietnam ( 1 month), Thailand (6 weeks), Australia (11 months) and New Zealand (3 weeks) … it was great to have them home. We did a little engagement party for them - lovely. 

Then Tuesday saw another hospitality trip to the Grecians.  

A great start to the game - but Wycombe are top of the league … so happy with a point in the end and a splendid evening out. 

So with little time on my hands … well actually managed a few games on Friday evening with the BND and BUR - nice to get the King is Dead back to the table - should have won the last game, but played on the wrong round …  but I did win Dungeonquest (not that it is a luck based game in any way). 

I want to get on with the Celts, but none are cleaned up or primed, so I have been looking at the stuff which is ready. 

So 2 Asgard (Tabletop) miniatures (moulds currently with Alternative Armies) classic wolf riders. These were picked up so I would have have a unit of 6 minis - I have tried to match the general scheme on the ones painted years ago. When the Matt varnish goes on and the basing is done, they should pull together. 

I then started Thor and a norn  for Of Gods and Mortals … I dread to think the last time I did anything for this … these are base coated with a wash at the moment. 
Tidying up some very old C-series Goblins with some plastic shields - I like to think that these may turn up in a small skirmish/rpg style of game …
