Got ridiculously busy recently, both with trying to film in Liverpool and with creating and editing Chaos Dwarf Radio:
http://www.chaos-dwarfs.com/forum/showt ... p?tid=8076However, today, I used my Dwarfs in a practice game to teach my girlfriend how to play (with Wood Elves, allied with Saruman and Boromir). In parts, I went easy on her and in others, forgot things that meant I had a slight advantage. She was taking it in well because she was worrying about finishing before work, but we'd only got through 2 turns, weren't playing on a large enough "board" (the bed, which she was sat on, lol) and had nothing in the way of terrain/scenery. Regardless, I was getting fairly owned, but my excuse is not feeling well.
We're going to have another, smaller and simpler game tomorrow (no magic, try to have no monsters, as few special rules as possible, no Fortunes, 1 [maybe two] Epic Hero[es]/Legendary Formation[s], etc), which we'll play on the kitchen table for extra space. Still no terrain to keep things as simple as possible because she's never done wargaming before and is likely to finish work late tonight. I'll try to let you all know how it goes though.
Tonight, I may try and get some more of the little guys prepped for painting (need to strip a bunch and spray a load), as well as painting the last sprue of undercoated Easterlings (although people are likely bored of seeing the same models getting finished over and over again
) and the two metal undercoated pikemen, before looking at what needs to be done in preparation for painting the rest of them (7 metal pikemen, 4 plastic pikemen, 5 Easterling riders, one Easterling horse and 4 Easterling horse legs).
Not much to do then ^^
