Challenges!

Part of the challenge of assembling an army from scraps and bits and leftovers is... well, the fact that it's being assembled from scraps and bits and leftovers. Here's my current project in the story of Fantasy Thracians

I've still got a bit of work to do, but eventually they will be Falxmen/Berserkers!

On that note, the one thing i am already in love with in Kings of War? Multibasing.

Next: Actual progress?

A Longer Introduction

So, why not more details! What's this all about? Why am I here?

Basically: I am a person who likes playing miniature war and role playing games. I also like painting the tiny people that are used in said games, though I am terrible at it. Is that silly? Yes it is. Silly things are nice. And these are the sorts of things I am going to talk about here.

What sorts of games am I talking about? For now I'd like to keep it simple. There's Frostgrave, a fun skirmish game involving wizards. And there's Kings of War, a fantasy strategy game that I'm just starting out with.

Getting to kings of war took me a bit. I've always liked historical games; I grew up playing avalon hill wargames with my dad, and when I found out about historical miniature wargames, I thought it sounded like the neatest thing! But I never knew anyone else who felt the same, so while I picked up a box here and there, I never managed to play a game. I painted some guys scrappily, but had nothing for them to do.

Then I heard from a friend about the kings of war historical supplement, and that it included the Thracians, a group I always found interesting! And that friend is willing to try a game or three with me, though they only played the main fantasy game. Well, it was easy from there. I decided to make a Thracian/Kingdoms of Men army, and that is what I am doing now.

Here is where it's begun:

Not much to look at, but it's a start!

Next: More? More!

Hello

This is intended to be a place for me to talk about games and such. Board games, tabletop wargames, card games, heck, there are a lot of games! I'll talk about some of them. Talking is fun!

That's all for now, because that's all I've got.
