Hi!
I'm at a crossroads in my wargaming life.
Being on the wrong side of 21 by a factor of 3(+ a couple) I'm wondering about my last projects. I've rather embraced the skirmish type of games in recent years and I'm blaming the F&IW present from my son. Not that that is a complaint as it is really enjoyable.
Moving onto Frostgrave, The Silver Bayonet and Sell Swords and Spell Slingers (encompassing Forbidden Lands) has been quite exhilarating. Many figures painted for future use.
And then comes 5 Leagues from the Borderlands (5LFTBL) and 5 Parsecs from Home (5PFH). Both RPG campaigning systems just right for solo play or where the opposing enemy on the tabletop could be controlled by another.
I'm lucky in that I have a lot of figures now so the 5LFTBL would be quite an easy fit into my wargaming world. That's not to say I wouldn't need the odd figure here or there. Possibly. Probably.
But I like to fill time painting figures and it is an enjoyable pastime in itself so it is quite likely I'll purchase some others to keep busy.
I was looking forward to getting 5LFTBL for my birthday, which has just gone and is now in my possession! That is a great start.
I've decided to start a new blog solely for 5LFTBL (Khusru's 5 Leagues from the Borderlands) and likely to do the same for 5 Parsecs from Home in the near future
And I've just bought a sprue of Stargrave Troopers (Northstar Miniatures, northstarfigures) off eBay. These can easily pose as police or government troops. I'm not going to buy a whole box of anything other than for the crew, likely opponents can be cobbled together from the other 16 or so figures. Or not. I've just ordered two robot figures. Specialists and civilians will likely be needed. Or they can be alluded to if I don't fancy going fully down that route. As above, I like to paint to fill time so it is likely I'll NEED them.
There is always something surprising coming down the road.
Thanks' for visiting.
