Slow Progress

I'm finally feeling 100% again. Some of my time is being applied to the shop area and so the shield maidens are progressing slowly. 

Painting female flesh tones is something I'm not use to. I have to admit it is challenging. 

Shield Maidens

Just getting over a really bad bought of flu. Ugh. Happy to be able to sit and do something!  I decided to finish a full SAGA unit of 8 shield maidens. Here's a couple of photos of the start. 

New Years brings Black Ops

Decided to just game on New Year's Day. We broke out some of my son's fantastic modern figures and used the new rules set "Black Ops". 

It was our first game so it took a little while to figure out the rules. 

We played the stealth mission: The Raid. 

Special forces are using blinds to move in close. 

Taking casualties!

The street was swept by the Seal team. 

Building cleared. 

Run away!!!

Time to leave! 

All but one tango eliminated and no casualties taken by the special forces team. It's a shame that I was on the losing side😉

New War Room

Now that my basement project is about 80% finished I 

started to unpack a few of my minis. Sneak peak of the 

new war room "The Bunker"!

Soon I will be posting my before and after photos of the project. Which by the way has soaked up most of my time since We moved in back in August. 

More Dark Ages

I've completed 6 new dark age characters. 

Not sure what to do next. Maybe Shield

maidens for my Vikings but I'm getting an

itch to finish my Zulu stuff that I have. 

Shield Maiden

Found a little bit of time today to paint. I finished my first shield maiden. I am going to paint an 8 woman warrior group for Saga. 

The Santa Clause

Whomever sent me the gift of barrels and  accessories for Christmas, 

a mighty THANK YOU to you!  A fantastic gift that will go with many of my gaming periods. 

Merry Christmas!

Ha, just noticed the cutting board is inverted.
