Well I popped along to the Redditch Wargaming Society (RWS) last night, and I enjoyed it. Bumped into a few people who I knew / have met in the past, and unlike the club I visited in the past, it wasn’t clicky at all. People were very friendly, and I only miss the fact that I never gamed. It’s a shame we have two Bank Holiday Mondays coming up back to back, as they do not meet until the 9th May now. I have listed myself as available for a 1200-2000 point game that Monday, with the new TK rules. It does seem that they are playing smaller point games, and many are learning the rules, which meant yesterday I was kind of wandering around playing WFB teacher. I ideally I would like to get in 2400 point practice for ToS, but any practice is good practice.
I am not sure if it was the general excitement of having met a great group of people, ir not, but it was gone 1am when I drifted off to sleep. So I am really tired today and that’s cut somewhat into painting. I finally got the 3-4 coats of red on my chariots and washed them green, so tomorrow I will hopefully have the easy task of finishing the red off. Annoyingly I ordered two of the “in stock” battalions, two weeks back, from an online store. Today I got an email saying they were unable to complete the order, and are refunding my payment. The new more expensive battalion, that increases the cost by £15 for 8 Skeleton warriors, will at its base cost be nearly as much as I have had refunded, so its going to cost a bit more to get two of the new ones, when they do hit the stores. Oh well.
On top of the little painting I have done, I magnetized 30 Skeleton Archers, taking photo’s and I posted a guide on the RWS forums, linked at the bottom. No idea how that will go down, but I hope it is well recieved.
