Merry Christmas!

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, 

and a Peaceful New Year.

 

Hmm...

I recently decided to put my 25/28mm Colonial figures up for sale, since I haven't gamed with them for years, got rather bored of the period, and can use the space they take up. 

I queried Noble Knight Games, sent them a list of my 130-odd figures, and was offered... $12 cash, $14 store credit. Total. 

What?

I declined the sale as the offer seemed ridiculously low. Yes, I expect they do want to make a profit, but seriously..?  

Remembrance Day

 They shall not grow old,

As we who are left grow old.

Age shall not weary them,

Nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun,

And in the morning,

We Will Remember Them.

 

Pugnacious Peasantry!

After too long a time away from gaming the mojo is beginning to trickle back. I recently finished slapping pigment on the 15mm Blue Moon medieval peasants I bought two years ago for the First Barons War.

They're now based and awaiting warmer weather for the final varnishing. I did give them a coat of matte varnish once the shading dip dried, but it looks glossy. I was able to score a spray can of matte varnish and another can of hunter green from the local JoAnn's outlet in their closing-down sale for 60% off. It's sad to see a staple of the US hobby scene closing down. My cosplay friends are seriously annoyed.
