Thank you Dan - and curse you.

A while ago I painted a couple of miniatures for Dan Mersey ( http://merseybooks.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1)  for use in the Dragon Rampant rule book. Today a copy of the rules popped on to my mat, courtesy of the author. I'm also particularly touched that I go a credit for the mini I painted in the book - a totally unnecessary courtesy but hugely appreciated. 



There was also, courtesy of the author/publisher, a copy of En Garde for Musketeer style adventures. Given that I love a bit of swashbuckling this is best surprise present ever. It does, however, mean that my intention not to buy any miniatures this year may have gone out of the window.

This also means that I'll have to watch the Richard Lester Musketeer films again, but that's no hardship. 

In terms of of actual hobby stuff, I built and primed the Raider and I think you will agree she is gorgeous even before painting:




And last but not least, tonight I'll be playing X Wing again and might be fielding this Beast:
