I’m making an early start on next year’s Sharp Practice project. British and French for the Peninsular War. In the past it has helped with my motivation by regularly posting progress. So without further ado, I’ve painted some skin, more tomorrow hopefully. Awful photo.

@bushontheradio Fish finger sandwich.

Off today looking after a poorly 7 year old. What retro 'ill meal / snack' should I make for her? ❤️

@ajacquitaylor @Jenny_1884 George Lazenby an Australian was cast as James Bond in 1969 for On Her Majesty’s Secret Service.

@Jenny_1884 A white British man or they will not be James Bond films, how ever good they will be just spy films.

Who will stop watching the James Bond movies if they don’t pick a man?

@MSduPre67 @Jenny_1884 You stopped watching them in 1969 when George Lazenby (Australian) was cast as James Bond? After 56 years do you still really care that much?

@Jenny_1884 I'll stop watching if they don't cast a British white man.

@Sabotag3dPrint It’s massive!

@varghulf Thank you! Dodgy random miniature picture for scale.

Had some issues with the end rooves, poor design choice on my part, but the dremel and the hot glus gun have almost fixed them. I'll redesign after my holiday.

@foxgamer99 I use the Paint Rack App from courageousoctopus.com it’s really useful.

Hobby story of my life in paints. Sorting them out again with some real oldies in here - over 30 years old! Oh, and some duplicates from a poor memory when buying.

@Clint_Davey1 I feel the same, which is why Tank Duel really surprised me, in a good way. ‘Tactical’ tank combat and no map.

You all know I like simplifying things. But there is a certain level of abstraction that I do not like in wargames. And that is when the game doesn't have a map. I need a map! The physical geography of a conflict is something that should be represented visually.

@Clint_Davey1 And the quality of the components is excellent. I genuinely, felt that the price tag was justified.

@Clint_Davey1 I have a copy and have played it several times with my group. Really good fun, definitely use all the Advanced Rules the Basic game is useful for teaching. Some interesting mechanics. Buy a unit, deploy it a settlement, send it into combat, if it dies, buy another, go again

This game has come to my attention - Burning Banners. It's a thematic fantasy wargame, hex-and-counter but not too grognardy. Anyone have experience with this? Thinking of getting it for my usual Twilight Imperium/Axis and Allies gaming group.

@wokehammerLs I should be ok.

Sorry Chud, but unless you're doing one of the original 12 Space Marine chapters as presented in Rogue Trader, then you're a tourist.

@Clint_Davey1 I’m not entirely sure if this counts, but it is just a really good game.

Christian board games are generally bad for the same reason Christian music, movies, etc are generally bad. Trying to copy the mainstream and slapping on a religious veneer. Just be religious. Use the actual frame of reference of the religion itself, and take the subject matter seriously. Few attempt this.

It’s tonight! From 7pm… This will be the last for this year as December is a busy time for festive folk!

@Sabotag3dPrint I’ve always fancied playing Brass: Birmingham.

This evening I will mostly be playing Brass: Birmingham and sampling some island juice.

@JAD965 Dabbling? They look fantastic!

I've been dabbling with some of the Napoleonic epic Brits from Warlord that my grandson bought at Colours this year. This is the 2/1st Foot Guards (Grenadier Guards) 1815.

@JAD965 @geofftbond Such a great game. I loved playing it at OML.

I've set the table up for a dress rehearsal of the Guns of El Navarrone before we take it once again to the public at Clotted Lard this weekend. I'll be running it in the morning, and @geofftbond will take the afternoon shift. If you're going, I'll see you there #spreadthelard

What is the greatest acting performance by an overcoat or jacket?

@playersaidblog @compassgamesllc I’ve been really enjoying this recently.
