April projects

 Well. Things are moving along.  My hobby time is starting to reappear with my wife's recovery moving forward ahead of schedule. 

 

The first Silver Bayonet scenario in April was played. A second scenario  ( number 3 ) is planned for Friday the 12th. 

 It's only a paper moon in a cardboard sky...actually a cardboard stockade hot glued to a corrugated base on a butcher paper ground cloth.  I spare no expense in time or money for terrain.

 

I was a late onlooker for a Saturday game set in the gnome verse  put on by Edgar at the Tabletop Games store.  What a difference a day makes. Edgar has searched the internet and Dollar Stores to out fit his terrain sets and painted an all gnome force.

Leprechaun cavalry,  down by the old shoe house.

Tree man not happy about the tank!

More silly armor, and a gnome in a Tam. In the distance,  Sikh gnomes on tigers?

I cannot attest to what happened in the game,  but the table was awesome. 

 

Trees, trees and buildings

 

 

  Rocky outcrops and giant mushrooms.

 The resplendently themed table!

 Gnomes in Pith helmets.

 

Needless to say, I am going to have to up my game . 

Speaking of the store,  there is to be a tournament ( complete with tilts) the last weekend in April. I think three Knights is a party. Hmmm, I think I have at least two. 

  I have lent some old jousting terrain to be useful if needed.  Should be colorful. 

And now for something completely different......

Since this is a catch up post. Here is the start of my WW2 Soviet air force.  Mig and Lagg fighters so far. Waiting on Pe2's and Sturmoviks to allow bombing scenario action for the Reds.

Lagg fighters, first lick of paint, half of my fledgling Red Airforce.

 

Early War Mig fighters. There were two color schemes on the box art/ I obviously chose the garish  option.

All together on a sweep for stray Luftwaffe machines.

Both sets are the Blood Red Skies 1/200th scale aircraft.  Watch the skies!
