March review and April goals

We're back in business! Somewhat.

On the gaming side of life, I did a couple of online sessions of D&D, keeping them short. However, I am now able to walk around on crutches and my first outing consisted of a live session! Not much gaming obviously, too much to talk about, but it's a start. I will ease back into going out, gradually.

I also played some video games. Barely any, considering the time spent in bed, but I'll do a couple of reviews in lieu of other posts.

On the hobby side, I started painting again, beginning with the January WIPs. The state of my excel is depressing. But I got a couple of things done, just waiting for a nice sunny day to spray varnish, which will be a challenge of its own. In any case, it will be some time until I paint enough to try a photo session.

So those are my April goals: finish the nuns and D&D monsters started, and continue with all the Astra Militarum infantry that I had optimistically primed before the happening. Perhaps sprinkle a couple more monsters and/or commissions to keep things varied.

Dungeon of the Mad Mage: Mushrooms vs rock giants

Reconvening after a long time, the party found its way back to the dungeon, descending to level 20. Right at the entrance, there was a death trap; after that, smooth sailing for a while. They skipped a deep chasm and ran into a myconid colony. The Sovereign, a nice lady called Floot, offered them some potions in exchange for destroying the rock giants and rock demons plaguing the level. While still in the telepathic range, Szivem started debating whether to kill her for her fancy glowing hat. Understandably, the myconids asked them to leave the colony.

February review and... no March goals

Yep, everything is still the same.

January review and... no February goals

January started off quite nicely on the painting front, with me finishing some WIPs and starting new projects. I was quite pumped to finish my Imperial Guard, do some fantasy minis, dragon inventory and the like.

But then life said: how about you break your leg instead. That's the last time I'll ever visit a skating rink.

So I'm currently bedridden, and will be for the near future. All the stuff I've published during January was whatever I finished and took pictures of before the happening. At the moment I can't even sit to paint, nevermind going to gaming sessions. 

So: I'll go dark during February, and here's hoping that I'll recover enough to start doing stuff again come spring.

Painting 3d printed Escher proxies as Kasrkin

I decided to max out my Kasrkin and obviously I continued with this project. I bought a box of 10, made an excel sheet on what I can convert and what I need. As I didn't want to buy another box of 10 to have more leftovers, I decided on hunting down some 3d proxies. Now some of these are really uncanny, out of scale, thick and so on. Whatever.

Painting a Savage Giant

I bought this painted giant for cheap, then traded it for another and... it's complicated. Before handing it over, I decided to bring it up to speed.

Converting and painting Free Folk giants

Not many conversions, mostly just scenic bases. Once I was free of the movement tray concept, I could glue in the giants and use the entire surface for basing elements.
