Some goodies arrived today! Some metal samurai warriors from Perry miniatures that will act asy command models for test of honour, and a couple of ttcombat terrain elements; a Temizuya (a place where temple visitors would 'cleanse' themselves before they entered), and some Hokora which were generally found on country paths or roads where travellers could do a bit of worshipping on the move. They should paint up a treat and add a bit more to my Asian themed board!

Done a bit of work today on a pig sty, should be able to use it in multiple settings so I'll need to consider the type of building to add in the top right corner... probably just a wooden shack of sorts. I'll be filling the inside with some caulk for mud and flocking the outside of it, I also need a farmer model from somewhere.

Finally got started on my test of honour boxed set; a couple of units of archers and two veteran sergeants to lead them. Hopefully get a start on the ashigaru yari tomorrow while leaving the samurai warriors themselves to last.

Had a little trial run of shadespire this evening after a few days of reading rules and painting. Pretty straightforward system, I like the card mechanic. Just need to convince the wife to give it a go...

Hey, I see you playing historical war games. Have you seen Blood & Plunder? It's a pretty cool game
Yeah, I've seen it but not had a game yet. In not sure anyone in my wargames club plays it either which never helps!

What a year! I didn’t get a tremendous amount of games in this year, perhaps not even double figures. If memory serves I played a few games of Age of Sigmar, 40k 8th edition, some zombicide black plague, some x-wing and not a lot else. Painting-wise I did pretty good. I painted all 70-odd figures from warhammer spire of dawn, I’ve pretty much completed 123 night goblins and 20 spider riders. I painted a few Afghan modern 20mm, and I spent quite a lot of time sculpting bases and terrain elements for my latest venture convergemodels.co.uk which in hoping to get further with in 2018. Goals for 2018: I want to finish all of my Age of Sigmar models by the end of February, my necromunda gangs by April, and I want/need to get back to my 28mm french Napoleonic infantry and cavalry. I also have a bunch of pike and shotte models for pikemans lament, and the samurai game test of honour to paint up/try out. I really want to get back to my game club on Mondays, hopefully every 2nd or 3rd week, and ideally the last Sunday of the month. We shall see…
