9th SS - sdkfz 251/1

 9th SS - sdkfz 251/1 

A addition to my 9th SS project, A plastic soldier company 1/72 kit, with SHQ stowage bits added. Quite decals from Skytrex and Plastic Soldier Company happy with the camo, I need to add another gloss then matt varnish over the decals to dull it down a bit more. Must crack on with the other 9 vehicles and also complete the crews

Cheers

Judge Dredd - Judge and PSI enforcers

 Judge and PSI enforcers 

Another two pieces for my Judge Dredd collection, ready to enforce the law in Mega City. They are both resin figures from Warlord games, the resin figures are a little flat, obviously taken from a recast of an original metal mold.

Bloodbowl - Halflings

 Halflings Bloodbowl team 

I have commenced my Halfling Bloodbowl team that I received for Christmas, still not named the team yet, but will need to be something relating to brewing or food. The GW sculpts are quite characterful and they are a pleasure to paint.

Fougeres - Felgar Games

 Felgar Games 

I attended the Felgar Games tabletop games event this weekend. A big mix of anything tabletop with a huge crowd coming through. The Wargames tables had their own hall so we did have some space to play. I played  my first game of Écourchers, which I liked, the coin system worked well and I captured the pig with my English, porc crackling tonight! Although different to most Wargames shows it did draw a huge public crowd that ebbed and flowed all day. 

Large Hall, all board games, chess and traders

Écourchers - First game

 Écourchers 

Had my first game of Écourchers today at the Fougeres tabletop games convention. I purchased the rules in the kickstarter but have not had the opportunity to play yet. 

We had a small group of Perry Miniatures each,  consisting of four MAA with leader and banner man, five spearmen and five archers in each retinue. The game has simple mechanics and you spend a coin to do an action or reaction. Initiative is important only sometimes and you can gamble coins to win it, command is the most important, archery can be effective also. The game was complete in under a hour so great for club games. My English retinue made off with the goal of the scenario the capture of the pig! Off to paint single based medieval now….
