Another one? Change of plans again

You know, if the Queen hears about it, She might be so furious you'll lose your head...










Right. I should never have moved to London... Indeed, my club is also about to start a medieval comp. And after having resisted the urge for some time, I finally let my guard down and entered it... So I've checked what I had in stock, and ordered some more minis... Which means I'll have to redo my painting planning:

1/ finish the Roman army, to get some cash and some space
2/ Paint some horse I'm about to receive ( painting commission, yes i think I'll take some if you're interested)
3/ Paint my medieval army
4/ Paint my SAGA warband
5/ Paint my French 30Ywar army
6/ Paint my modern French.

Gosh, I'll be busy


Je m'apercois que je n'aurais jamais du suivre ma femme. Apres avoir resiste pendant un certain temps, j'ai fini par craquer et j'ai decide de participer a un autre tournoi en interne, en medieval cette fois. J'ai donc fait le tour de ce que j'avais et ai commande du plomb supplementaire. Et comme vous pouvez le voir, j'ai refait mon planning de peinture...

Of Sun, in-law and dragoons

 I have a cunning plan Mylord... While you distract the misses, I'll go fetch the bushes and paint your baboon...
Not bad Baldrick, but I see a tiny flaw... It is I who should paint the dragoons, and I should use brushes, not sodding bushes...







I really hope you enjoy your Easter week-end. The weather here in London is nice, though a tad cold for my daughter... Anyway, we still enjoyed the sun today and hope to do the same the next days. In the meantime, my sister in-law arrived from Paris to spend a few days with us. It's really nice of her, but, if you add her visit to the lovely weather, I won't paint much. And indeed this is all I could paint yesterday: base colour for the buff (khemri brown), black and red, plus the highlight on the brown horses.





A mes chers lecteurs francophones. Ici au Royaume-Uni, nous avons 4 jours de week-end de Paques. Le temps, bien qu'un peu frisquet, est vraiment sympa, donc j'en profite a fond avec ma fille. De plus, ma belle-soeur est arrive de Paris nous rendre visite. Super sympa de sa part, mais pas genial pour la productivite. Du coup, je n'ai pas peint grand'chose hier: vest en Khemri brown, bases rouge et noire, et eclaircissement des chevaux.

And the winners are...

No Blackadder pic today, sorry lads, unless you really miss it. Do you?

Ok, I've done the draw, and here is how I proceeded. There were three contestants for the Stalingrad book: CdtK, Ray and Justin. So I rolled a d6 and 1-2 CdtK, 3-4 Ray, 5-6 Justin.

Berlin was more popular with 6 contestants, so, once again one d6 : 1 CdtK, 2 Ray, 3 Ian, 4 Justin, 5 Cpt Miller, 6 fougniouf.



And the dice rolled...

So Baldrick, what do you see? Dice mylord... You stupid git!










Ray is the winner of the Stalingrad Book. Hurray!
Fougniouf gets the Berlin book. Hourrah!

Congratulations to you both
