Great Battle Report.
“Positive outlook and good manners”? Are you really after gaming opponents?
Ahh I get it! You actually want a suitable unclad female warrior holding a flame for you don’t you?
Very nice looking minis and game, Mike! 🙂 Sounds like you’re enjoying getting back to gaming!
My painting desk tells the tale- having regular games doesn’t half get me motivated! How are you getting on???
Well, game-wise I’ve stalled a bit, even e-mail games, but Dave Stone’s Season of Scenery challenge has really got me moving on the scenery front! Progress is slow but steady, which is fine, and I also have a clear-ish idea of what I’d like to get completed for the year, so am not going to grumble! 🙂
Organisation , that’s the ticket! I’m happy with progress mini wise but it’s a pity the whole western world had to shut down in order for me to get sorting!
Don’t hate me but I’ve just got some 2D terrain from Poland. I just got sick of transporting a massive box of terrain to club twice a week! Look forward to seeing your work though!
Best
Mike
I have no problem with 2-D terrain, given the amount of battlemats I’ve got! For those periods where troops move around in big formations and need units bases, 2-D terrain makes a lot of sense! Go for it!
PIGS has had the same problem. Seems youngsters are only interested in the various card systems and GW formats. Biological growth seems to be the only thing that works. By that I mean indoctrinate your kids which seems to work for other groups with strange way out there ideas like weird church sects.
However, I think the only reliable method is to have members lie about there age.
I agree being organised is the key.
I have painted more in the last six months than I have completed in the last ten years.
This is because of Covid-19 lock-downs but also being a lot more organised. I paint at least one colour on all of the models in the current project each day.
For the first time I have listed all of my unpainted projects. I was shocked at how many thousands of miniatures I have collected.
These were then divided into four groups. Those that I will never finish/dislike/etc, those that I would like to get finished in the next six months (HIGH), those that I would like to have finished in the next 12 months (MEDIUM) and those that can wait to “whenever” (LOW). This has helped me prioritise painting projects and motivate me. It also helps if your are slightly anally retentive!
I am now in the process of selling, giving away or just binning the stuff in the “I will never finish” category which is a very cathartic experience.
Nice post Mike and although I’m not a gamer myself it is nice to see that people are now actively engaged with others in pursuit of their hobby interests. Here’s hoping it continues. Some great looking miniatures on display to admire judging by those photos. As for the lady in the final shot she is an uncannily like the triplets who are members of my modelling club. 😉
Looks like fun Mike. What period is the September game & as I might potentially be able to make it, what time do you start & finish? Assuming you might have room for me? Cheers Mark

Great post Mike and as Pete wrote visually appealing. And not just the mannequin, though that might bring in some new blood for the club?
