#HobbyStreak day 1263

Two more scenarios of the #RangersOfShadowDeep mission Burning Light. Companions didn't all last, but us rangers tanked them.

My mook companion Boris Johnson didn't get killed for once. Probably because he's got -1.5 inches move and never got anywhere. Might have to convert him to being a wheelchair user. Because he's Boris Johnson and will abuse any privilege he can, the blustery bastard.

So, I'm making a few #shitpost teams for Gaslands, the post-apocalyptic car racing wargame.

One is the transformers. I have 1:64 Optimus Prime and a few more of those 1:64 based on the movies.

The other team is currently a hotwheels Mystery Machine and soon I will get a hotwheels Ninja Turtles van. I'm looking for suggestions who to add to this team. Some cartoon character(s) (ideally teenagers) with a car or a van that can be easily obtained in Matchbox size. Hmmm....

I finished some desert camo mechs for Heavy Gear last week. Process was slow, as I layered on 4 colors of individually shaped blobs for the pattern. One of those schemes that's 90% drudge work up front, and then the wash and detail work flies by. This one in particular I think came out best. Some of the others in the batch came out a little frosty from the final varnish.

Well, in-between filling and painting, I've been working hard this weekend to lay out and do the maps for the beta release of my solo, narrative wargaming rules.

If you fancy a read, you can grab the PDF at my Itch page below for free. Constructive comments and feedback on the rules, layout, grammar, spelling, and all that, as always, gratefully accepted.

I just purchased "Dominion of the Spear", an extremely simplified, narrative-encouraging set of wargame rules that other wargame bloggers have been talking about. Naturally, I'm wanting to fight orcs, goblins, elves and humans. Mods incoming!

And will have to consider the effect of "big" magic on a battlefield. Something that would affect entire companies or battalions, not single persons or squads.

Fun!

Astonishing generosity from a young #canberra bloke. He posted to a local #warhammercommunity #wargaming FB group looking to donate his models and paints.

I reached out and told him about our school gaming group. He said I could come and grab the stuff.

There is so much useful stuff that we can use. Complete models, ready to prime plus loads of paints and basing materials.

Last year the painting workshops I ran were popular, so this donation will go down a treat.

Thank you friend.
