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.

  Today saw me play Guards of Traitor’s Toll just for the first time that was just for fun of it!  It was indeed a lot of fun and there is a full report plus lots of photos of the action on the page. UPDATE - It depends on how you are viewing this blog as to how you get to the pages, there should be a list of them, but here’s a direct link -  https://horrendousgaming.blogspot.com/p/project-3.html

  I feel like I am all over the place at the minute.  I have taken some more time off to work on some specific things and get them tested on the table but I can’t quite decide what to do first, so for the weekend I have been painting whatever was still hanging around. This starts with some more wild west figures as part of my offer to paint things for other people.  They like to do their own basing so these are just painted, varnished, and sent on their way.  I am really enjoying this for the novelty, as I had no plans to do wild west figures for myself. Then it was back to post apocalyptic stuff, hence the giant scorpion above, which is the one from the North Star Silver Bayonet range.   I also finished this terrain piece for a easily placed bit of hard cover to be fought over.  The walls are pre-printed cardboard stuck on to foam board.  It was relatively quick and easy but I do still have some plans for some scratch built stuff later. Also on the sa...
