Painting Pandemic breaks out

I get the impression (and this is purely anecdotal from looking at wargaming FB groups, and forums, and blogs) that a painting pandemic has broken out in our little hobby.
Well done lads (and some lasses).
Self-isolation is what we wargamers crave, isn't it!

Following a series of business meeting and speaking engagement postponements, and the development of a new cough (although, like many I've had a bit of a cough over the whole winter, on and off, nothing dramatic), I've decided to self-isolate. So in the interests of health, and the lead pile, I'm taking it easy for a couple of weeks. Although I have some client work that is booked to happen remotely (phone, zoom, etc), and a fair bit of writing to do (new book due this year), I am taking this opportunity to progress the Successor armies.

On the workbench at the moment, a small unit of Thessalian cavalry.


 Keep spirits up everyone... It will all be over by Christmas!

  3. A silver lining, indeed. Good luck with climbing the lead mountain. I actually got some models on the table to game with this week.

  5. I have the same plans Phil. Albeit that I'm still going in to work but not going anywhere on an evening.
