Back to the Future

Bit of a six degrees of separation type ramble coming your way. Only fair to let you know :)

As I continue to re-establish / re-find / nurture my full on NERD I've finally got back to my regularr read of 200AD and the Megazine. Another good / bad / NERD (delete as applicable) habit that I got out of and have sorely missed. I kept my suns running so I've got a load of back issues in a box in a storage unit to someday catch up on so for now it's a continuation of a re-set.

Scarily easy to drop back into I was THRILLED to the max to find an ongoing Strontium Dogs story in early-arc along with your good old fashioned boot in the face Dredd and dear old Ampney.

Flicking the net yesterday morning I stumbled upon a draft KickStarter page for Rogue Trooper and had to exhibit great control not to squeal in girlish glee (whilst in the office) or throw my wallet physically at the screen :)

Much as I've not hit up a KickStarter before being something of a minor cynic I've missed out on both Zombiecide and Dreadball much to my regret. Several at the club are currently eyeing up Mr P's Beyond the Gates of Antares which tempts but Troop just hit the parts of me that other Kickers cant!

INSTANT EDIT: According to THIS CHAP Rogue goes live on Friday and he has a link to a free download of the rules............oh dear :)

I was also going to link a KS commentary / mini rant by Andy Foster aka Heresy Miniature but I seem to have lost it. I've got a PDF to read :)

ZARJAZ!!!

The last couple of days have been quite impressive hobby-wise.





Another Tuesday night Star Wars roleplay session and a couple of hours progress painting the clones last night. All very pleasing :)

A reduced group on Tuesday gave good focus for a spot of slick surveillance and infiltration of the Small Numbers biker gang, posing as potential recruits.

With the nominal party leader away the Jedi was forced to the fore and did an excellent job ably assisted by a natural 20 thrown for force manipulation just at the right time. New friends have been made, at least temporarily, intel gained and all without a single shot being fired or a punch thrown. Quite remarkable.

Last night I found about 90 minutes to finish of some block detail on 7 clones and got them all washed down.

I'm quite determined to do the same tonight after sorting out some dreaded "domestics".

With the weekend taken up by work and some quality time with the LADY I've got the day off Monday and intend to make best use, otherwise known as painting in front of the telly!!

I'm really enjoying the whole Star Wars: Clones project / campaign and has taken me back to a golden part of my youth (soppy!). As such I've finally given in and gleefully taken out the subscription for 2000AD and the Mega-Zine that I've been eyeing up for sometime.

For slightly less than than £12 per month I get a weekly dose of thrill-power delivered to the door an a monthly Mega-Zine. The cherry on top is my subscribers Judge Dredd mug!

Happy days :)
