yay for geekery!
Nov. 16th, 2008 12:12 amI am very proud of myself today. As well as having done lots of revision, I have also started assembling my Orcs and Goblins army. I started with the Giant, because it would be fun. That was pretty entertaining, because its incredibly customisable and there are so many parts! I had to be careful not to go too crazy, because I was tempted to use so many of the bits. I had to keep reminding myself that I had to paint the damn thing at some point, so I managed not to go over the top.
I have also successfully assembled my goblin archers regiment.
Next to come will be one of my chariot units I think, I've kind of run out of enthusiasm today for huge units of men with teeny tiny arms.
Fidget has managed to demonstrate unprecedented levels of laziness today. He's been outside for a grand total of about 45 minutes, spread over three different outings. The rest of the time he's been fast asleep, upsidedown on his armchair, in various stages of cute. So ridiculously lazy! although, with his latest getting up and moving exercise, he's managed to knock over my goblin regiment with his tail. Twice. very irritating!
Jamie has also been busy assembling. He's done his Empire cannon crew, his Knightly Order (which took forever!) and now he's working on his handgunners. There is, on the handgunner sprue, a monkey. A monkey wearing a pirate hat (complete with big feather). Its carrying a barrell (presumably of blackpowder) and has a lit match in its tail. It is supposed to sit on the base of the champion. Its kind of insane. There are 2 in the set, so Jamie is thinking of putting them with the war machine crews. Very silly!
I will be taking pictures of this army as I paint them, sort of before, during and after shots. Mostly for my own sake, but I will probably put them on the website anyway. If anybody cares.
