All,

Here's what I've been up to during my (so far) baby-induced 4 1/2 month exile. As always, I can't promise I'm back 100% (as a matter of fact, I can promise I'm not), but I can promise games are in my future (the table is already set up).

The big news is that I've been painting. A lot. And in a couple new scales. If you're here you're probably aware that I am pretty much exclusively a 10mm gamer. That's not going away by any means, but apparently I've become a 6mm Modern gamer, in a big way. It started about six months ago, when I bought a small force of GHQ minis for some Soviet-Afghan gaming, with plans to move into more stuff beyond that.

The next thing I knew, I was drowning in 6mm Modern stuff (NATO and Warsaw Pact equipment), the vast majority of it from fellas at TMP's Marketplace. I've also finished up/redone some 10mm Moderns, bought some 1/72 Vietnam plastics, and bought some 20mm WWII plastics.


About 2/3 of my 6mm stuff, the Warsaw Pact equipment.

I've painted up bunches of 6mm infantry.


10mm Russian/WarPac infantry.


10mm Modern USMC.


The table is set for a 6mm fight.


With hills UNDER the mat (I've taken a lot of 'stuff' on my blog about my ugly hills).

Please check the blog, where you'll find a total of 56 photos and thoughts on upcoming campaigns:

Big game coming Grin

Like the hills under the - looks nice, and still usable (no "shifting" slopes...).

Yes, quite a few minis, can't wait to play with them. I like the look of the hills, I just don't like how they're a bit ambiguous, and I'm wondering if they'll shift during gameplay.

The baby was definitely worth it! Though I'd rather be playing then painting.

V/R,
Jack
