April review and May goals

May the 4th be with you! Wield lightsabers instead of crutches.

April passed and I can't complain. I eased back into doing live D&D sessions, tried a new RPG, and went to some games of ASOIAF. No Warhammer as of yet, transporting minis is a pain. Probably none this month either, but I'll try my best.

With live games and painting back on the table, and of course work taking up most of the day, video games have slowed down to their usual trickle. I might do a review or two in the future, but for now, this is it.

Speaking of painting, I threw myself at it like a man dying of thirst. Which I was, metaphorically speaking. But everything is annoying, besides the sitting part. I barely finished my April goals, there's a couple of final touches left. 

As for this month, my painting/accounting table looks even worse, with the delivery of the Reaper Miniatures' latest Kickstarter. With the advent of 3d printing, I really wouldn't have ordered all this stuff; but that was then, this is now. And anyways, most of it is 3d printed already. Kind of disappointing. Good quality though, we'll see about durability.

I'll see what I can do during May. I have some ASOIAF commissions scheduled; I want to continue and finish my Warhammer guard infantry; and ASOIAF Free Folk look rather enticing with the advent of season 7. Who knows, maybe they'll be good for something.

Martell vs Targaryen, 01.05.2026

For the final game of season 6, I tried out a new faction: these beautifully painted Martells. Good job, my man Patrick. My opponent, as always, is EndRush, in this game of Dark Wings Dark Words.

Painting commission blue wizards

First commission work of the year, started before my accident. Photos are thus a bit jumbled. The minis are: this flameweaver, this old man, this young mage and unknown bearded guy.

Painting trolls

I already got two of these models;  now I'm just making sure I never need any trolls again. The 4 armed version is a conversion by someone else; too bad it wasn't ready for its appearance in Dungeon of the Mad Mage.
