I was finally able to get back on track with Liam and his ever-looming date with The Pit.
Since I was behind, I have an extra survivor’s Pit story in today as well. Beware a mother’s wrath…

We just past the 10th week of the year and I thought it’d be a good time to take stock of the game challenges I had planned for the year. At this point, I’ll be on track or beating the curve if I’m 20 or more games into my respective challenges.
So let’s see how I’m doing, beginning with part 1, my 100 games of the Duke challenge.
It’s funny how quickly a fire can spread, especially with heavy winds. A particularly fast spreading wildfire just hit my game group hard and it has us all scrambling to keep up. Gaslands is one of the Osprey “Blue Book” games’ series where they have a designer put together a rule system and setting in a very defined format. The game, written/designed by Mike Hutchinson, came out last year but really took off with my group thanks to a review of it on the Secret Cabal gaming podcast.
In essence, the game rule set for miniature car/vehicle combat using template movement a la X-wing (without the hidden selection process). The rule set is super cheap and picking it up is easy by buying the PDF of Osprey’s site or picking up a hardcopy off Amazon.
This week is a little bit of a change up. I didn’t have time to run The Pit this week so I’ll have to do a double dose for next week. I was, however, able to finish up a little side project with an extra truck miniature I picked up with the Collector’s Edition.
I already have two of these painted up so I wanted to do something a little different with a third open and, as I said just Monday, I’m really in to lighting things up. But first I need to see what is under the hood.
With the Test of Honour Dojo complete, it was time to work on the other items that came in that kit: the sword ruler and the lanterns.
The lanterns were the more complicated item since I wanted to pimp mine out a little more. I’m on a big “lighted” components kick so time to light these suckers up as well.
Nothing new on the painting front for Walking Dead: All Out War this week but I did catch a whiff of something beyond wave four on the horizon: The Governor’s Fish Tanks in another Resin kit.
Looks like it was accidentally leaked by a store in their preview entries and a Facebook user caught it. Eventually Steward Gibbs of Mantic confirmed the release and provided the above image.
To break a bit from the land of monochromatic painting, I decided to finish up a little side projects. First up, I completed my Lazer Ryderz Tron retheme by adding a Black Cycle to the mix.
…Burning bright,
In the forests of the night,
What immortal hand or eye
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

Rawr! It’s Shiva painting time!
I’ve already talked about picking up the Dojo Assault set from Warlord Games’ Test of Honour game. I had a chance this week to put some things together and progress towards getting this game off the ground.
