I have had a
busy couple of weeks since Huzzah. I have assembled a primered my 3 “Things
From the Basement” buildings. I built myself a “Lazy Susan” to help with the
job of spray painting the big buildings. I thought of cracking out my air brush
for the job but went with my trusty can of white spray paint. I may use the
airbrush to paint the building interiors.
I have been
banging the war drum to summon players form my gaming group. I want to teach
them Baroque. I have painted more units for the armies and only played one game
so far of my commitment of 6 this year (6x6 project). I found a scenario for
Edgehill 1642 on the Baroque rules Facebook page and will put that game on.
Troops mustered for battle
I was able
to bulk up my hedge collection. My old hedges were a little too big for my
liking so I did up another 13 feet of them and scaled them back a little. They
will also work for WWII France. I used foamcore base and added green scrubbies
to form the hedges. I bought some Spanish Moss from the fake flower shop and
ground it up in my blender. I used this mixture to flock the hedges and regular
flock for the bases.
Hedges with a Tommy for scale
Painting on
my fantasy figures continues. I finished a Devilish looking fellow and a
scantily clad lady to be a Djinn in my fantasy “Men of the East” army. Some of
the figures look to be pre primered but I have learned are not. My Dark Elf
queen and Beholder are not holding paint. They must be white resin of some
sort. I will have to strip them and primer. I have a half a dozen figures left
on my shelf but am not in a hurry to get to them.
Tonight, I
will organize the troops and terrain for Edgehill and hope I get some players.
Otherwise it will be a solo game…
