What are you doing today hobbywise?

I finally decided on doing Orks for my Crusade force against my nephew. So I spent last night painting some more boyz and rebased a few more today. I have 10 more basic boys to glue on their bases, then I need about 50 more 32 mm bases for all the ones I haven't gotten to.

 

I love your terrain! Brilliant stuff.

 

Today, I am finishing my short story entry for the October/November contest (have to cut down the wordage, boooooo!).

I am also trying not to buy any Brettonia models off the 'Bay... It's harder than you'd think. @Warden 's new thread in the WFB "Other Armies" thread touched a long-buried desire to go forth and do battle in the name of the Lady of the Lake (which despite the French theme is an English piece of folklore).

 

Not a moment to soon

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Nice terrain setup!

 

? I have until 31 October I thought?

 

Just the fact that on the 2th of October you are already done writing your story (only need to cut words). I am still figuring out the story-line

Grrr, Imrahil

 

Well, basically I hate leaving things to the last minute so when @Scalenex launched the contest early, I figured I'd just get going.

Plus, while I ALWAYS have random ideas for stories floating around in my head, I need a bit of necessity to actually sit down and write the bloody thing out. Which is why I like the contest so much as it forces me to actually write the things.

 

Totally.

I wrote the story and then cringed when I read the word count and it was past 3200... Up to that point I had been thinking to flesh out some bits where I felt I hadn't done it justice

Ah well. Some hacking and slashing later and I'm hovering around 2400 and trying to get it to the stage of being happy with it.

 

In a bit of a cram to get an additional 30 saurus warriors together for a game this afternoon. Also going to be playing Black Seas and Necromunda.

 

First game against my nephew yesterday. It was a bloodbath in both sides, though I had more standing at the end of the day.

 

And now I need to work out what changes I need to make to the list.

 

The plan today is to finish 20 persian archers.

 

I got a my last five shoota boyz almost finished. I still have a little work to do, but they're mostly done. I have another game Sunday with my nephew, so I'm trying to get them done.

 

It's brilliant you're playing with your nephew. I wish some of my family played.

 

It's fun. I've been working on getting him to play for a while.

 

Put finishing touches the last five ork shoots boys in my squad of 20. Now I just need to finish the job and the unit will be done. Picture on my paint blog.
