Major Achievement - Hurrah For Me

Well not so much, it's not like I have killed some big bad in Fallout 3, I am a gamer not a formula one driver or Max Rockatansky after all.  My biggest achievement of the day, well perhap it wasn't that big. No Golden Demons trophies for me today.
My major achievement of the day is simply this. I have rescued two aerosol  cans from the garage. One to base coat some essentially black figures and the other is some spray varnish. It has been a very hard day in a lot of respects which I am not really going to go into but by god I am glad it's nearly time for bed. I am not sure it rates the disco ball but if today has had a disco ball moment, this was it. Yes it was that bad but it wasn't as bad as yesterday or the day before that.
I have managed one more thing. That is to tidy the workbench, It is probably tidier than it has been in for several  months. I have run out of space for paint. I am planning to do something about that but it is just a plan at the moment.
Still things are looking like I might do some more actual painting. Painting that is more than a black undercoat. I don't undercoat anything like as much as people recommend. I usually depend on spray on varnish to keep the paint on. One less layer of paint usually helps the details show through.
 
Anyway, for the most part at least, these are Frostgrave stuff. I am liking the minis at the moment and they seem to fit nicely with what I have already painted. I will probably end up with a few too many wizards. There are a few Gripping Beast and Crusader minis in with the Northstar Stuff.

  1. Any achievement in a rotten day can help raise the spirits, here's hoping for some better luck soon.

    1. Not really a believer in luck. If you wait for some one to come and solve your problem you will be waiting for a long time. so better to do something about it yourself.

  2. Hope things take a turn for the better for you. I like the style of some of the Frostgrave minis. At least if you have loads of wizards you could plan a game with a load of buddies and beer one night and have spell slinging session.
