Back To The Printing Mines

The last few days have been very full of people-related activity, and not so much on the hobby front. I did finally pick up some new black spray undercoat, so I might actually try that out at some point, but other than that I've sort of avoided the painting table for a while. Which is annoying. I have stuff to paint!

On the other hand, I have done a little bit more 3D printing. I sent an Iron Sultanate warband to a friend in Sheffield, and a bunch of monopose 1980s style Skaven and shields for the same all the way round the world to another friend in Aotearoa (New Zealand, for those of you who aren't aware that it has another, older, name). And for myself, I printed some more Maiden Guard and a couple of options for a Level 2 Wizard to bump my Maiden Guard force up to 1,000 points for the next stage of the Escalation League.

There's two missing Maiden Guard, because of a misprint. I'll make more tomorrow I think. The mage at the right rear is a female version of the mage from Heroquest, while the mage at right front is just a generic elf. I cut down her ears, which were ridiculously huge, and gave her a bow and arrow because I decided she'd have the Shadow Stalker Honour, letting her pal around with the Sisters of Avelorn and add a bit of firepower if her spells weren't up to much in the shooting phase - after all, Wizard she may be, but that's still BS4 she's got!
 
So other than that I have The Itch to do some painting, but I probably won't have any time to actually do any until Wednesday, because tomorrow I have a game of Mordheim with B and a 750pt Escalation League game with K, both at the LUNAR club (which now has a funky logo, courtesy of my partner P):

Tomorrow I get to hand out membership cards and induct people into the cul- errr club. Should be a nice time, and I'm looking forwards to the games!
