New projects and Deus Vult

So I have been playing a lot of Malifaux with my friend Scott, and since he has been routinely beating me like a rented mule with my traditional Ten Thunders crew, I decided to try something else. I had already bought a bunch of other crews, but they have been sitting primed on the edge of my desk now for a while, so I picked the Tara crew, a few Croolingans and a gang of Drowned and I will see if I can make some good use of them. I might add a couple of other pieces and see how it works. So I started painting the Nothing Beast from this set and it was fun. These figures are always a lot of fun to paint. the picture is taken from close, the figure actually looks better at the table top.

So, I will continue painting and I hope to have the whole set painted by next week. I might have to play them just primed, which i s awful, but at least I can see how they work together.

Also I had my 3rd game of Deus Vult of the Year. My friend Peter and I are probably the only ones that play that rule set in the entire eastern seaboard of the United States, so, as a matter of Principle we try to play at least 3 times a year. it was fun! and due to me winning initiative in every round and to some spectacular rolling on my part, my Teutonic knights Thrashed his Crusader Knights  in what will be known as the mauling of Acre.

   So, we will try to be Bold and play a 4th game before the year finishes, or even in new year's eve. lets see if it happens, so far our score is 8 games to 6 in my favor in the 5 years (not continuos) that we have been playing.

After a long hiatus.....

So as they saying goes, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.....after re-starting with the Hobby again, my actual workload changed, and I started to have less and less time to paint or play. Then I had to travel for work and then had family commitments to attend etc....
now it seems things are going back to a stable pace before I travel again.

In the mean time, I have still played some Malifaux and had the opportunity to play ADLG a couple of times. So I have gone back and painted some Teutonic Knights in 15mm and continued painting the Malifaux Crews that I had not finished.

Also, My local hobby shop got big into 40k (again) and to jump in the bandwagon I decided to build Orks and Talons of the emperor (Sisters of silence and custodians with some inquisition in it).

Lastly I finally dragged my rear to finally get my Franco-Prussian war project started. its a long term project that will involve the whole 1859- 1871 European wars era (Austro -Prussian war, Wars of the Italian unification, the second schleswig war etc). I am building it with pendraken 10mm miniatures and well I have ways to go but at least I started.

so that is all for now and hope to keep these posts going.
