Random Roundup

This is more a log entry than anything specific. First, loot.

It was my birthday last week and I received the following:

The Bolt Action ww2 starter set - because who doesn't need a new era and project? Also a walking cyberman you can shoot. I have asneaking suspicion my sons picked this more for themselves than me. 

Morgul Knights and Riders of Rohan. This came with a catalogue:

Which rapidly became the Eldest's favourite book. Seriously, he's spent hours looking through it and I have to make up bedtime stories for him from it. 

This led him to want to play more with my miniatures:

And to him building his very first model:

This led to him wanting to watch The Hobbit movies. Unsurprisingly he liked the Orcs. The only thing that scared him was Gollum during the Riddles in the Dark bit, but luckily there is always a cushion for protection....

We also had a game night: 

You can see here how competitive we got when playing City of Horror because everyone took photos of the referecne sheets on their phones and were pouring over them. 

As always, the zombie apocalypse fun of City of Horror led to total carnage and lots of backbiting. 

Next up, back to some painting. 

Fell Wargs

As regular readers of my dispatches from the front line of gaming ADHD will be aware, my Eldest son has developed something of an affinity with orcs. Specifically the Warg riders from The Lord of the Rings. As I mentioned in my previous post I picked up a box of warg riders from eBay last week. He immediately started hassling me to build them.

So here are the first three of the new batch along with the two originals.  A relatively quick paint job as they are likely to be played with quite hard.

I did however, now I've got the knack of it, string all their bows.

There's one more possible post before Christmas but otherwise have a lovely time.
