Traveling and painting in 2024 part III

 

                No room for me at the Crown. I am at Staybridge for now. Roughly same deal, bonus 3k a night and double points. The desk is a more crowded work area here. I chose the bar area to paint at. The one in the room not down stairs.

                I have Sallies with me and 2 28mm dudes. I need a leader dude for Saga. 


                Right back at the Staybridge. Same deal. Last time I lost my watch. The orange Casio. I have never lost one in all these years. I don't know if it broke or I took it off. There went 260. The new one is a triple sensor. It is crazy light.
            Then I did have any 60mm circle bases. Ah no problem there is a game store by the customer site. Dude. GW is getting 6 bucks for 3 plastic bases. MoFo!!! I should have printed a set. I hate buying shit on the road.
        There were the Sallies I have been chipping away at and two dudes for a command stand for Saga. That was about all that got done.

Road to AdeptiCon part I

 


        I had a leveling problem. As the table sat upon a rug. The weight of the table began to compress the rug. Due to most the stored weight being towards the front of the table the center joint was higher at the playing surface. I did not realize this. The level issue tricked me into creating one section of the FW table to be raised in surface height. 
        I fixed the board issue without ripping everything up. The table level issue was fixed. I jacked the table up and place capital equipment steel pads under each foot. The table is level now.


            Building packed. I thought it would fill more boxes. I had to go back to Staples and return unused ones.

            First thing packed is my event badge. Forget that and good luck chuck!

            Cigars, Dice, glue, measuring sticks, rule books




            3 armies are coming. Traitor Guard for pick up test games. The Sallies I think will be the tourney army. The BAs will be a loaner.



            I am bring 2 armies. Chicago Matt said he would need a loaner. I will play Lizards and loan out the Bones.

Saga Age of Hannibal/Alexander part III

 

    
            Another 2 groups of 8. All only needed shields, transfers and basing.


                7 more with yellow shields. Same as above. Little Big man transfers and basing. In the end I will have 16 with white, yellow and red shields.

                6 more Red shield dudes. Half have a piggy on them and the other half a lion. I do not know how that happened?

                I was short Centurion. This one I had to paint. He was primed black. That shows how long ago I was painting this dudes. Black primer has not been used....well Boston was the last time. Pre 2009! I did not prime white over him. The detail would be lost. A light dry brush of bone worked out. After that maybe 2 hours total.

Brigade Games Plain War - Little Bighorn

        

            At some point early in the year Brigade Games Kickstarted a line of 28mm Little Bighorn miniatures. I got in at the highest level of support. I also selected additional minis. Brigade took their sweet time with the pledge manager. But as soon as you completed it, your minis shipped next day.


            There are a number of collectors, old men, that wanted the minis. They did not or did not want to understand kick starter. The risk was too much for them. So I backed it, too on the risk, for them. The minis will be split up, packaged and out the door the week they arrive.

            I am not so much interested in gaming the fight. The terrain dominated the battle field. The terrain plays such a large part in the battle. It would be impossible to create a playable surface for the fight. If you ever get to visit the Little Bighorn Battle field, you will notice right away the terrain sucks. This is why I am not interested in war gaming last stand hill. I could be talked into the Valley fight.

Terrain Boards, Cons and the Future part XXVIII

 

            This is the last post. The board is done. I have been in and out, home and gone. One day I minwaxed the tile. Serval of times I sealed the tile. 


        Then it was weathering.

        The titan crashed building. 

            The saving moment was having all of these done prior to starting the tile. 
            The last sabot to be built.

        That is it. She is done
