Starting down the long road…..

Posted by Jeff Hiatt on Sunday, January 31, 2021, In : Time of Legends: Joan of Arc

So, I finally bit the bullet and started painting the massive amount of plastic for Time of Legends Joan of Arc. Most people suggest that you paint what you need for the starter so that if what I am doing, but with a twist. If I need bowmen, I am painting all of them.

Started by gluing the on popsicle sticks to make them easier to handle and prime.

I primed them white.

After they were dry, I did the cloaks in Citadel Contrast. I want to vary them to give the m more of a peasant levy sort ...

Time of Legends: Joan of Arc

Posted by Jeff Hiatt on Monday, January 25, 2021, In : Time of Legends: Joan of Arc

Over the summer I picked up Time of Legends: Joan of Arc. Got a fantastic deal on it and been wanting to get it to the table. This monster occupies an entire shelf on its own. I was able to get is consolidated but it is still a lot of stuff.

I was initially attracted to this because I like the 100 Years War theme with the fantasy twist. It is different enough from Battlelore that it is a keeper. Additionally, I have the Teutonic knights and the updated rules on order. The fact that it is also...

So been playing A Few Acres of Snow online with a friend. There is not huge rush. I think that we started this last week and are slowly making our way through it when we have time in our day.

Been working on a few projects this weekend:

Firstly, I have been building a bridge. So a little back ground on this. One of the things that we seem to have an abundance of around here is cardboard. So, that got me to thinking and I pulled out my trusty plank cutter and started to cut 5/8 in strips. With t...

The Shelf of Shame (or Shelf of Opportunity)

Posted by Jeff Hiatt on Saturday, January 23, 2021, In : Boardgames

So sitting here looking at my shelves and all the games that are sitting there unplayed. All of them are there for one reason or another and they are wanted. I find that I get a little too ambitious with my time and that I feel that there will be someday that I will get to them. So let talk about my top 10 of what there. Why it is there, why it is not leaving and other thought about it:

Dune: Imperium (2020) got this one for Christmas this year. While I have the original that GF9 released in 2...

BattleLore 1st Edition

Posted by Jeff Hiatt on Tuesday, January 19, 2021, In : Boardgames

I love Richard Borg’s Series of C&C Games; I have a bunch of them but still the one my wife and I keep coming back to is 1st Editions Battlelore.

Before we moved. I finished up painting the first edition set (it only took me 13 years). We didn’t get a chance to break it out before our move but once we got settled in we broke it out and played it a few times. There was a little learning curve to it see as we had not played it in 6 years. But is was as we remembered it.

The thing that sets...

So, I believed I mentioned 40k….

Last January my buddy Wayne and I got a booth for the GK Flea Market at the Mountain View store. (Little did we know that this was going to be the last Flea Market any of us would ever attend there).

We are setting up our table there and as we are doing so, a guy across from us along with his wife are setting up boxes and boxes of GW products. He then puts a sign up saying that everything on the table is free.

I had been interested in getting back into it for a while, so I go an ask him a...

Haven't really done much on this page in a bit. I think that it has been nearly 2 years since my last post. Lots of things have happened for us since then. Been playing lots of board games. Not as much as I would like but we have been doing a bit.

I have been able to acquire some of my Grail games. Some of those include:

There are still a few that elude me.

On the miniatures side of things did quite a few things:

Robotech
