Alright gang?
A weekend of Potter, it turns out.
And a very shiny Lockhart
And here's my thoughts on the Chamber of Secrets miniatures.
The Basilisk is a huge, beautiful beast, and Tom Riddell is spot on. I would never normally risk not pinning a lump of resin like the Basilisk so was really impressed that it holds together so well, and with minimal gapping. Big plus for casual players.
If you're lucky enough to get a pre-order copy, you'll find the Aragog token upgraded to a physical model, but irrespective there's enough spiders here to give the hardiest arachnophile the creeps.
I didn't expect these to be fully playable in game, but as well as great models that are very easily assembled they are more than just objectives - they're playable beyond the scope of the campaign. Hoping to have Moaning Myrtle up to her tricks for Goblet of Fire...
As well as Colin Crevey, we now have retail versions of fan-favourites Dobby and the Sorting Hat - oh, and Filch. I'm quite impressed, all in all. It's very expensive but it's a great expansion.
Started thumbing through the new DC rulebook.
The game system itself is largely the same, just with a much cleaner, clearer rulebook (or indeed, A rulebook). It's a lovely thing, very high spec with lots of classic art and new pics, with fully half given over to a decent run down of the DCU.
My eldest loved this about it, as it's a good potted history of where things are with most of the major characters. That's not to say it's lacking in game content, far from it: fully 17 scenarios, a mix of a classic and new, with several designed for specific key events (Death of Superman, for instance). There's a great hero Vs hero training day scenario, also, but chasing boom tubes and motherboxes, artefacts and ne'er-do-wells are all there too.
Off for our hols to my folks, and more tripod action.
Later

Do so. It isn't cheap. But it's a great product all round. It carries the Potter premium. Potter heads will snap it up.

Scenarios. You earn scenario points depending on how well you do. You can spend scenario points to make a scenario easier but you need to finish a scenario with enough left to unlock the next one. It's a neat, logical mechanic. There are separate scenarios also at the end that you can play as standalone games or indeed competitively. It is what the base set should've been.

Well, that's high praise indeed.

presuming you're referring to Harley? Many thanks.
Although I'm away on my hols (translation: eating and drinking too much with my parents at their house), I finished up a couple of things beforehand.
Dreadball trophy
And a new Sponsor to be the "Most Violent" award.
She's the Xtreme Promo, so fits the bill.
Kingsley Shacklebolt, of the Order of the Phoenix:
And a using real iron powder, a proper rust marine for Papa.
Fun times
Got a proper, full game of Tripods, playing the Invasion scenario from the main box (as opposed to the Invasion expansion, which is free to download). Despite Ares sending me one of each Invader, the core box scenarios mostly want you to have 2 of the basic "Locust" Tripod. Never mind. The scenario suggests 2 Entente or Central Powers planes, or a mix - that we can do in spades, so my son took a Spad. XIII and Sopwith Camel against my Locust Tripod.
The aim is for the Invader to crush the French town.
The brat got a lucky shot off first time and injured my pilot, meaning I couldn't shoot him, only crush the town. Made for an interesting game.
Although I managed to crush all the objectives, eventually the boy managed to take down the alien menace just before I left the board to win the scenario.
Fancy fly boy.
Been a good couple of days generally. Got some Carcassonne in, Lego, usual nonsense.
Scale Model show this weekend. Hopefully get some good gubbins.

Yeah, hobby ADHD is great
Tripods are excellent, suspect we need another locust though. Need to read the full Invasion supplement rules first, however.
Today has been a very diverse day, as ever. Went to the hobby show and was... Underwhelmed. It was predominantly military models, and kits/sellers geared towards that. There was some good stuff on display, couple of good dioramas but folk very antsy even about pictures being taken. Pretty unimpressed. It's exactly what gives the hobby a bad name, and that's before I even get onto the standards of bodily hygiene in middle aged men. It actually put me off spending any real time looking at weathering materials, and there was a lot of that on display.
Did however pick myself up a wet palette. Yes, I know I could have made one, but there we go. It's decent, I'm impressed thus far, pottering around whilst painting intermittently. Got a few decent triangle handled sables. I can't use round barreled any more with my hand and, whilst I may not be painting as well as I used to, I decided to treat myself regardless.
So, indeed, what did I get up to?
Ruh-Roh...
Jinkies! Are we chasing them or are they chasing us? First 2 ghost riders for Beverley, the spectral sponsor. Mystery Machine as the non-ghost/ Christine car.
And another Gaslands vehicle, Stinger, the first car for my Idris Avispas:
More Amazons. First up, Hippolyta.
Way more stressful than she should've been. Now onto Kitbash archer, and then to find suitable bits to Kitbash Menalippe.
This is my broken archer with replacement bow arm, new right arm from spear gal, and alternate head. And I need to make her a new foot. Leftover I have a left spear hand, left sword hand and a suitable head. It's a start lol.
As you can see, this means i got replacement parts from km. Unfortunately they STILL sent me the wrong axe wielding thug for Bane. But hey, now I have two spare mercenary bodies to convert. I've also been working on the Tumbler. God, what a mess of a lump of resin that is
Plenty of other stuff priming before the weather turns: Dobbie and other chamber stuff, some Dreadball, etc. Need to grab some black to do all the bloody spiders mind you.

Not done much. But started some more Dreadball, another giant (Deadzone Night Terror) and promo coach Orcy.
And post- apoc'd my Mystery Machine
I've heavily masked the logo. I'm not as fussed about the rest I think, but I don't know if that section looks a little bare?
I'm also unsure what to do with the rear doors, is anything.
Other than that, not much happening. Work is pretty horrid, but equally has truly great moments. Teaching is a job of strange extremes.

Thanks! That's the base for the crusty yellow that I use as their scheme.
Meanwhile, thanks to the mighty insaniak, I got a couple of MEdge sprues to review (and a couple to give away).
Hot DAMN these are useful... I mean I've seen what insaniak churns out but I'd not really appreciated just how much stuff there is here.
And I've built the last of my DC stuff:
Decided to go with a ruined urban style for the death of superman character bases.
And decided I wanted Metallo to be doing his technopathic shenanigans.
The new resin is noticeably stronger - I dropped Metallo on his head, with no damage.
On a separate note, if you fancy heading over to bigcomicpage.com, I'm in geeky gifting mode, and there's a whole lot of stuff in the giveaway, including DC rules, Transformers tcg, Harry Potter core set and of course MEdge sprues.
