A quick shout out to Wargames Emporium -  https://www.wargamesemporium.co.uk/   - and Headbunny Games -  https://headbunny.games/   - both based in the UK. The former do plastics by the Sprue, which really works for me.  For example, this squad of Security Officers are from two sprues of Stargrave Troopers.  I also got two of Crew 1, one of Crew 2, one each of the two Mercenary sprues and two of the new Automatons.  Those with the two full box sets of Scavenger 1 and 2 provide all I need for Call Security.   The latter do those lovely bases that I think work really well for this.  They also do sci-fi terrain and some fun robots, all of which is currently on the workbench.

  Ever wondered who keeps the peace in those space stations that are a home away from home for diplomats, hustlers, entrepreneurs, and wanderers? Ever considered who is responsible for the safety of the humans and aliens who are wrapped in two million five hundred thousand tons of spinning metal, all alone in the night? Ever thought about just who it is that comes running when someone in charge shouts “Call Security!” Well now you know … it’s you!   And so opens the first of the games. I’ve added a bit more detail to the page -  https://horrendousgaming.blogspot.com/p/horrendous-gamings-solo-tabletop.html  - and if you are at all interested in how things progress, you can get the latest there. Meanwhile I’ve started knocking up my own space station as shown at the top.  Simple but effective I think.  I’m dithering over whether to add partial height walls, we’ll see. I’m also working on the figures, I got a load of individual Stargrave sprues from Warg...

  I’m going to ramble a bit I’m afraid, so here’s some pictures, feel free to stop reading after the sheep.  For Christmas I got this lovely pastoral set of 3D prints that I got around to painting as therapy while my brain was churning on the other stuff, hence the sheep. I also finished some more terrain pieces for post apocalypse.  The walls are printed card over foamboard again.  Renedra oil drums again.  And a fun kit of stuff for the tires. I also knocked this guy up from a Traitor’s Toll guard and an 0200 hours guard dog. You know how much I love playing with plastic kits, so the Stargrave Scavengers boxes 1 and 2 I got for my birthday have had 1 sprue from each turned into Nomads for 5Klicks. And finally … sheep! So what had me churning so much that I felt painting sheep was a good idea?  I was thinking through the different campaigns I have on the go at the moment and wondering why I wasn’t getting excited about which game to put on the table next. ...

  Plenty of painting going on, but nothing finished.   I also started thinking about something that I am keeping under wraps right now, but it is sci fi, it’s all my own work rather than a “Five” variant, but is a solo adventure wargaming campaign, and I’ll be looking for playtesters at some point. What I did do though is play through some more 5 Klicks turns, so head on over to that page if these photos whet your appetite.

  Eventually I got everything else I had planned to do done, and got the first official game of the EKPS campaign on the table.  My new stuff played out nicely and I’ve now made the minor tweaks that came to mind, so I’m all set on that front and declare the past week as much a victory as the game was. Of course I also got some more painting done finishing the last of the Goblin Wolf Riders that I imagine will make an appearance in the Dernland campaign soon enough. Also these few Dark Elf warriors, 3D prints from Asgard Rising, made it onto the done list.  They were for the 5LB campaign, but the Fey threat is already defeated, so I’ll have to think up an excuse to table them. There’s plenty of odds and ends in various states of work too, but I wanted to get one more game in, so the table is set for 5 Klicks tomorrow.  I rolled up six Hooligans, so I get to table the Luchadores, that should be fun.

  Elf, Knyghte, Pyke and Sword has been officially published and I have written a bunch of stuff to go with it to drive my Defence of Dernland campaign.  This is not just the actual mechanics for the campaign but includes formal rules for playing solo, the Peoples list for the Reptiles, the rules for chariots, and a few more spell lists. Not sure whether these will become official in a later update or just be issued as fan work on Discord, we’ll see. So the page for that has been updated a little and I’ll start logging the games there. Anyway in preparation for this I have continued working on the goblin (Orc Horde) wolf riders and also made another hill.
