LRXG



I used to have a bunch of these Adventure 2000 Matchbox cars when I was a lad. I dug them up again, and got a few more from ebay, and turned them into this. Most of the extra bits, especially the fuel tanks and turrets, are from Ramshackle games. I matched them with my Colonial Marines and kind of had the notion that they would be an alien world version of the LRDG.
  
I was wondering what rules might work with them, and came across a fan supplement for Lion/Dragon Rampant called Xenos Rampant, so will be giving that a go soon.

Saga Welsh



Finally finished my Saga Strathclyde Welsh warband. It's only really 5 points but I can use figures from other warbands for my levies, atm. I played with them yesterday, and tried not to be too annoying with them, and they got smashed to pieces twice. So, I might go back to being annoying.

Post Apoc Vehicles



Picked up these cars from Wargames Terrain Workshop at Devises and added bits from Ramshackle and turrets from Crooked Dice.


I am also working on a huge post apoc bendy bus, which is based on a toy. I've added some Ramshackle turrets and bits from various places. If I survive the apocalypse I will definitely be looking to get hold of one of these.

More ECW



Have hardly painted a thing over the last couple of months. I finally finished a regiment of shot and a couple of cannon. Hopefully the bug will bite again, soon.

I picked up The Kingdom is Ours (and some more figures) at Devises Attack the other day. So I now have three sets of ECW rules that I'm looking forward to trying.

Tidy up the Nursery



I'm feeling burnt out a little bit on mini painting and terrain stuff. One factor, probably, is that my painting space suffers from the ineluctable encroachment of my inherent messiness. I am now reduced to, quite literally, about 6 square inches of painting table remaining.

In addition, my wargames table in the loft has had so much stuff piling up on and around it that I was unable to play on it, or have the room to even change the table theme. So I had a good reorganisation, put some more shelves up, and freed up a load of space.

I still haven't finished clearing my painting table, but I've finished the loft and made a lot of extra room. Now, if only the weather would cool down enough to make playing in the loft bearable.
