...And that's why I spent all day painting. And burned through The 13th Warrior, Hot Fuzz and Oh! What A Lovely War. Read two books. Picked up two boneheads from the MP station. Quiet day, really.
Sat outside for awhile, watching the rain come in and the sun go down, smoking my pipe for the first time in awhile. It was a lovely evening for it, too: the smoke from my pipe curling up and away through the sheets of water pouring out of the sky as my Irish playlist hums in the background.
Zombicide: Invader is a terrific solo / co-op game: scads of models (hundreds), simple rules (I've taught more than one grandmother to play), lots of fun. Sadly the models don't come painted (eh, I'd have eventually repainted them myself anyway) and, as mentioned, there's rather a lot of them. Hundreds. It's enough work to go through the characters, let alone the zombies. Er, aliens, I guess. Invader is alien zeds rather than humans.
This dude is from the Black Ops expansion box. Andre, I think.
Looks better at arms length, with a coat of Nuln Oil on.
Why do all hobby photographs come out awful? This guy looks so much better in real life.
And because it's Zombicide, this is totally-not-Nebula from the MCU 'verse.
Finally getting through the flight crew for my light-up Valkyrie.
Disaster struck. We've all had this moment... There goes a quarter of my Nuln Oil.
Commissar trio. Look at all the medals!
More Highlanders... I wish I could say I was almost done with these angry Scotsmen, but I've dozens of them, unassembled, in a bag at home.Victrix makes nice minis.
Thirteen models in a single night is not so terrible... Shame I didn't get to sleep, but that's Staff Duty.
