Game Envy and some painted LOTR

I haven't been able to indulge in the hobby since I got sick this January. A pile of unpainted models and unfinished project litter my two table workbench. Even the gaming table is gathering dust in the garage with boxes of scale & wargame models received this Christmas as well as from orders made the previous year slowly pile up.   I managed to finish some more stands for my HotT army but that's it. Painting total's on an all-time low. The missus noticed it and took me on a trip to the gaming store after my ckeckup at the hospital. I saw this game of warhammer 40K being played and took some pictures of the models. Some of the models are WIP customs.



One of the WIP customs looks kinda like an alien pornstar but the modeler assured the other guys that he'll be refining the model soon. The second WIP was inspired by Kerrigan from the PC game Starcraft. I wasn't able to take more pictures but the Tau army looked spiffy and I liked the modelling work on their ship. I've never played 40K but it seems like a skirmish game. Too bad the rules asrent my cup of tea. I browsed the pegs for some GW LOTR but they only had blisters. I've been collecting these models for some time now and I'm looking for the plastic box sets. The owner, Freddy, told me I could have these ordered. Maybe I'll take him up on that offer soon. Here're some of the LOTR sets I've finished painting.

Major General Tremorden Rederring's Colonial-era Wargames Page

A bit of nostalgia here. I'm gearing up for a weekend of working on my wargame table and was surfing for inspiration. Happily, I rediscovered Major General Tremorden Rederring's Colonial-era Wargames at the Wayback Machine. This wargaming group's been a source of inspiration ever since I discovered the wonderful world of miniature wargaming. Just look at that picture above and tell me you're not impressed. WOW! was all I could think off when I saw it. The page has since given its last huzzah and I don't know what's become of the group, but I'm sure I'll be rereading the material they still have archived. A veritable treasure chest of miniature gaming gems, the page embodied the FUN side of miniature gaming, neither taking itself too seriously nor scrimping on the joys of the hobby and its subsidiary hobbies/crafts. It's a pity if such a wonderful resource and such a huge contribution to the hobby is lost. I discovered the page waaaay back...

Battle Report: Blood on the Grass; First Mighty Armies Game

"At least, the sun will be on our backs," muttered Brogda the Red as he clutched at the rails of his chariot while Cumal his charioteer  manouvered to the front of the Keltoi battle line. "May the Morrigan feast well today, and not on my innards!" For weeks, Keltoi scouts have followed the advance of an orcish host from the deep south. Now, the green horde of monsters have reached the outermost village of the Keltoi Irinae tribe. With only a vast grassy field separating the monsters from the village, Brogda and the Keltoi weaponsmen he could muster plan to meet the invaders at the village edge and hold them until reinforcing  Irinae from other villages arrive. The women and children have left the village together with half the scouts two days past and reinforcements should be arriving this morning. "They better be bringing their chariots and horsemen," Cumal said to the brooding Brogda. " The orcs have wolves...  and trolls." "Balor ...
