Song of Blades and Heroes - Play by forum

As a complete change of pace, I have started a new board on the 'Board of the Living Lead" forum to allow members to play a "Play by Forum" Game.

 Spots are limited to forum members only, and at this stage I have one confirm player (Brummie) and two almost confirmed (Clint and Blaidd Drwg [formally known as Maj. Dizaster] ) that just need to check over the rules and decide what to play.

Those wanting to know more can visit the forum: board of the living lead

On a side note, I noticed on Blaidd's blog that 'Dwarvemeber 2013' has started.  Similar to zomtober, bloggers pledge to paint at least one dwarf a week during November.

 I would be in on this, but I only have one half painted dwarf in my collection.

 Anyone interested can join in the fun here: dwarvember 2013 is about to begin

28mm Water Buffalo

I have been eyeing off these water buffalo for a while now for use in my Vietnam game:

 They are produced by Cavalcade Wargames, and sell for $3.50USD each.

 The reason I am buying two of them is because Cavalcade is closing shop on 4th November this year.

 There stock is supposedly going to be sold off to other companies, but I thought I would buy some just in case they don't come on the market again.

 So, hopefully I will have some water buffalo coming my way soon.

Anyone else interested in these, or other figure they have can visit Cavalcade Wargames.

A tomb and an update

I finished off a GW model tomb I have had around for over a year today:

 I mounted it on an old CD, put a model railway tree next to it, placed some random grass and tufts over the base and then glued some silver birch tree seeds at the base of the tree to give it the autumn look.

 I will use this for In Her Majesty's Name and Strange Aeons mostly, but it will be useful for a zombie game as well.


Update wise - I have finished off my Japanese WW2 zombies - I just need the time to get the PBB game up and running on my Zombie blog. I haven't forgotten the game; it is more a matter of real life getting in the way.

I have a few other things on the painting desk and some scenery being put together, but more on that when I finish them.
