Tangentially hobby related - I am headed to a business meeting for a pagan retreat.
The connection is that my original job with the retreat was running the Pathfinder game.
Somehow I ended up corralled into Financial Officer....
The Auld Grump - that retreat is how my wife and I got together, when she sat skyclad in my lap to 'help her with her character'. (I am amazingly thick sometimes - I did not recognize it as a seduction. Twice. I thought she was trying to freak the 'dane.)

Well the items I wanted had already sold. Sometimes in this hobby that is a good thing (As Mrs. Captain Brown does not see another package of models).

Primed all my First Strike miniatures with Macragge Blue (spray) and Death Guard Green (brush). The spray was so much quicker and I felt gave a better finish. Even though I used 'two thin coats' of the green, there was definitely a noticeable reduction in detail compared to the spray.

I'm sculpting a Flesh Atronach from the Elder Scrolls at the moment (among all the other projects).. Trying to make realistic looking saggy fat is ...enlightening.

Continuing on my prisoners, got the bases, whites and metallics all finished today, aiming to get browns, blacks and tans done tonight so I can call the prisoners finished. Also started on Captain Cold, Killer Frost, Professor Zoom and Black Manta with these same colours, and primed Green Lantern and Rick Flag. All in all a productive day, but I'm hoping to get more done

Had a game of Blood Red Skies, its an ok game, actually is a very nice game - it just doesn't feel like a WW2 air combat game.
Also had an attempt at DBMM and now my brain hurts

Another month, another local 40k tournament, another 1-2 finish. I really need to gitgud. This time it wasn't my list's fault, but rather some poor play decisions, and one very bad matchup. It was still a fun day, and it's always nice to go hang out and throw dice with fellow gamers. I also picked up some Scout Bikes for my Dark Angels.

I played a game of kind of 40k which was a mix of the vedross rules and some homebrew additions. it was a lot of fun! Imperial guard vs orks in this case, with the orks coming out on top, just by a bit.
We worked objectives into it, but it's a work in progress.

Browns on prisoners to finish them off, and the lenses on Black Manta's helmet, to finish him off. I'll probably do the browns on some other models I have kicking around my desk as well to get them closer to completion as well (Captain Cold, Green Lantern and Rick Flag). My Rogues are getting quite close to completion now, after the prisoners and Manta I just need to paint Captain Cold, Killer Frost and Professor Zoom to have all the models I own for them painted, and all of them are in various stages of completion.

Went to my local FLGS's ding and dent sale and my 3 year old convinced me to buy him the Flames of War 2 player starter for $15. Now I'm assembling 15mm WWII tanks.

Been waiting for the humidity to subside so I can prime a few models. I've got the top halves of five chaos knights that need priming along with three spirit hosts.

Well, now that I have finished my prisoners and Black Manta, it's time to do the right thing and abandon half painted models for new projects. On that note, I've finished up bases on my first This Is Not A Test warband, based off of the Caesar's Legion from Fallout:New Vegas, so they should be primed tomorrow ready for paint. On the painting front, I'm starting Spider-Man tonight for some Marvel action, and maybe continuing on Green Lantern if I feel like it.

Did all these, but I ended up also doing some work on Captain Cold and Killer Frost at the same time. Only doing blues on them because I was doing the same on Spider-Man, but progress is progress
