Lots going on … but not on the tabletop

So Christmas is nearly upon us - no games played recently, but might get one in this evening. Been out and about - had a little trip to the moor.  Great day for walking. 

Almost got into trouble, as I had to be back for my sister in law’s birthday … let’s just say I cut it fine. But all was good. Then on Sunday I was at the home of the Chiefs - as they hosted the current European Champions - Toulouse. The Chiefs hoping for their first win against top opponents this season. 

Let’s just say I got to see some great rugby - Toulouse were a different class, I reckon they would give a National team a run for their money.  A bad result for the Chiefs who are still looking for a win … it’s going to be a long season me thinks …

I have managed to get some painting done - first some very old C series Goblins. A while ago I put some plastic shields on these, so I have painted those and put some highlights on their skin. Just need some varnish and to finish the bases - these will only see use in skirmish games.  

I also painted a Norn - from Norse mythology. A NorthStar miniature I picked up years ago for Of Gods and Mortals. 

Speaking of Gods - I present Thor - God of Thunder. This miniature by Reaper (again got for Of Gods and Mortals). 

Quite happy with how he has turned out - tried to roughly follow the marvel colour scheme. Again needs a bit of varnish and the base being completed -  I have a mounted Odin to paint. 

I had a good chat with DK today - about painting and playing games. Need to play more games and get more use out of the stuff I have. Fortunately I haven’t got a buying itch at the moment, but plenty of different things to paint, 15mm WW2, 28mm Celts … more Gods, Greeks and some Rackham miniatures too.

Have a good Christmas.
