wargamesdiary   A diary of war games and board games

Night attack on an encampment. The distraction.

The heroes approach in the dark.

This time we are using our low level group, with Blue Wizard and Valdour.

Our heroes have made good their escape and amassed 85 xp . Clansman escaped in the confusion but like crossbowman before him sustained a nasty leg wound and will be speed minus one now. Bear was very badly wounded and will need to miss the next fight if possible.

A really fun scenario and our heroes got away just in time pushed by a horde. It was the sacrifice of bear and clansman that gave them the time they needed.

More assorted 3d printed figures.

Mainly claymore miniatures and printinggoeseveron.

Bruce, Phil and Mike played two incredibly close games.

Mike won at Acquire through clever acquisitions and Phil at Waterdeep through avoiding Corruption. Everyone had a skullduggery Lord!  

Printed and painted some figures . Sprayed them with new AK varnish .

Figures by printing goes ever on and the Gondor warriors are painted using the new army painter metals.

Some rangers in osgiliath ruins and some orcs to attack them with Gondor warriors or knights in plate armour using two handed weapons .

An added goblin berserker from claymore.

Bruce Phil and Mike played Bruce’s Mythos game . It was quite fun but a tad long . Phil finished a quest first so we stopped at that point.

Then we played Bruce’s cooperative Monster Hunting game . Mike got hunted by the beast but we still managed to defeat three monsters with just one hp left on the track . Well done team.

So switched to siraya tech navy grey resin and that’s been really good as it was on sale. Found the resin recommended on various sites . The company provided recommended settings for my printer which was good and these have been great in practice needing no changes.

Yesterday though found a leak under the vat so had to change the vat film yet again and the LCD screen protector. Fortunately the resin did not spread far which saved the printer !

Now I am printing again and have way too much stuff awaiting painting.

Printed the largest pieces yet in the form of two fantastic barges for the osgiliath orcs to attack over the river . These are from the printing goes ever on patreon.

I am going through a lot of the vat film and it is quite laborious to change as well as being difficult to do whilst wearing gloves so I end up having to clean it then wash my hands and risk exposure to resin . This time using the new silicone spatula the film appeared pristine but must have had a whole in it any way .

Lord of the Rings card game. Mike came down and we continued the Angmar campaign. Scenario 3 deadman’s dike . Difficulty Seven. This was a tough one and we got beaten up on card 2. We did significant damage to the Boss but were overwhelmed by hordes of undead! The discard cards mechanic in this scenario really hurt as all the useful cards for our builds such as steward of Gondor just got discarded.

Got knizia lord of the rings out and we made it to the Mordor map before being overwhelmed!

I have painted the Musketeers and some guards plus Lady de winter . Also the cardinal who missed the shot .

I also painted some lord of the rings style figures .

Finally a mix of fantasy figures.
