The joys of a Warhammer 40K bits box...

 

Sorting out boxes which is my favourite hobby pastime! This was part of a job lot given to me years ago by a friend... he used blue tac to attach weapons so they could be changed when needed. Sacrilege!

The tub is just plastic, most of the rest are metal barring the Space Marine / Ork vehicle bits etc.

Spent a pleasant evening in last night with the hound finishing the first series of HBO's 'Rome'. I'd ordered the second series on Friday and it arrived yesterday meaning I stayed up till 01:30 watching the first 2 episodes... rather tired today.

Trying to get a little painting done but, as always, ADHD hits and I get everything else started and nothing completed. Hoping to get the upcoming Napoleoniques molded and off to Kickstarter backers soon.

Martin Buck has done a stellar job on these including Napoleon himself (on the balcony in the pic).

Well, off to paint a little. More later.

Combat 3000 - Infantry Combat in the Year 300

Just picked up a copy of this old ruleset....more once it arrives including a better pic!

Possibly a fore-runner to Warhammer 40K / Rogue Trader by Richard Halliwell and Richard Priestley.......why is it Mr Halliwell is always known as Richard and Mr Priestley is always known as Rick? Anyway, pics on the front are very old Asgard Minis.......

Some gladiator minis........finally finished....

Some years in the painting........all are Wargames Foundry who look to be revamping themselves under Bryan Ansell's son Marcus. Fingers crossed that he keeps pushing things the way forward as he has been! They are having a Warhammer 40K nostalgia game on Saturday 15th December that I would love to go to but am unfortunately working the night before.........if anyone gets the chance to go and picks up a spare of the mini they are giving away please think of me.....

Also  managed to finally pick up a copy of the old Tony Ackland Asgard Miniatures sculpt FM85 Lord of Chaos mounted and on foot. All things come to he who waits...............

God I love the old school stuff!
