There! It took me longer than I thought it would, as it always does, but I have finished painting the Norse team-- nine Linemen, two Throwers, two Catchers, two Blitzers, two Ulfwereners, and one Yhetee. I still have the basing to do, but I want to experiment a little before I start, and then do them all at the same time so they hopefully match well. Despite the basing, they will make their fully painted debut as Björnsson's Bullies at tomorrow night's Painsphere meet up. My Field Marshals wouldn't mind a rematch against them myself...we'll see...
What's next? Nothing big for the next few weeks as I prepare for my birthday Blood Bowl bash. I will be proudly (as long as I don't fudge the basing) playing my Norse.
After that, it will be back to 15mm WW2, I think...I'd like to get some Piquet games going. I have enough to run some decent games of either the traditional Point of Attack: Blitzkrieg, or the newer Field of Battle: World War 2. And wouldn't it be interesting to run some scenarios in Flames of War, POA: Blitzkrieg, and Fireball Forward! (once I get a copy of the rules!)
However, I'd also like to get in some Napoleonic Field of Battle games as a refresher before I go to Historicon. I will be playing the @#$! out of some Piquet at Historicon. Here's the list of Piquet games posted so far on the Piquet mailing list-- if any of you will be there, show up for a game and I'm sure I'll be able to spare a beer (or four if you're playing opposite me!!)

Not my thing, but the team looks very sharp, and I've enjoyed watching you assemble it! And of course, I have to love ayting Norse! :-)
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you plan on playing a lot at Historicon, Andy. I'm really looking forward to it myself!
Peter
Me, too!
