OK ordered a bunch of 2mm mdf from @warbases.bsky.social for tiny ships.
I hope I ordered enough. #navalwargaming #wargamerproblems
I'm doing up custom card decks for "Snorkers! (Good Oh!)", as you do. (Mainly because I keep getting confused about who's red & black.)
I'm making data cards for each ship class with a plan drawing & the game stats.
Think I can find any for British E & J class DDs?

Doesn't @ospreygames.bsky.social usually have a sale around this time of year?

Friend gave me some static grass.
Not sure how I like it compared with my usual mix of flocking colours and grades, chopped lichen, and bits of clump foliage.
Seems too much like a golf green.

Back to assembling @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social 3rd century Romans after a couple months.
How'd I get that pose again?
Oh well, found some new ones.
#wargamerproblems
That magazine penetration from last night really did for the poor old Mogami
#wargamerproblems
Will I paint tonight?
Or will I eat chips and watch Fargo?
#WargamerProblems
*me gets _New Project_ idea*
*looks at Games Workshop*
"Hoo boy! Buying a bunch of premium stls suddenly looks economical"
#Nerdlings #WargamerProblems
Pawing through a Big Box o' #Quar.
Trying not to cackle gleefully.
Also trying to remember what I had planned for some of the bits. #wargamerproblems
*Thinks about lead stash and remembers some French in bicornes...*
"Oh wait...."
_"Dammit!"_

Rare earth magnets glued to weak ass fridge magnets.
Test. Metal Legionaries not falling off even at an angle.
Metal cavalry needed two rare Earth magnets to not fall off, but anyone letting my figures hang like this is gonna get thumped anyway.
Don't mind me. I'm just over here, gluing magnets to magnets. As you do.
But now my metal Romans will not fall off the #Midgard bases I made.

I suppose I should get my Simon McDowell books off the shelf and have a decko. He focuses on the 4th-5th centuries but his comments on the Goths might still apply for the early campaigns.
P.S. I've already got 4x (?) units of mounted nobles
#wargamerproblems #wargaming
Decisions, decisions... what to paint first? Reinforcements for Mantovia and loads of assorted #Quar bits just arrived.
#wargamerproblems #wargaming
Just over here obsessively checking the tracking on a box of #Quar (and reinforcements for Mantovia) from @dbsperrin.bsky.social
#wargaming #wargamerproblems
Just had my 3rd creative #wargaming brainwave in 2 days
-Quar Beetle Jousting
-Quar Sky Pirates (as my 9th Quar army!)
-using FV4005s as SPGs for Mantovia, becuz it's my made up country so I can if want to!
I should let @dbsperrin.bsky.social catch up with the 3d printing first.
#wargamerproblems
Watching @mogsymakes.bsky.social having fun with Harfoot Jousting and thinking "That'd be a lot of fun with #Quar riding beetles and such"
Damn.... there's another project. #wargamerproblems
#Thanks to whoever suggested putting polyethylene bags down to glue my Ironclad trenches on top of.
Worked a treat.
Pieces glued together just fine and only two small places to fill with putty.
#wargamerproblems
Soon I'll be able to do Brequar Manor properly.
Well, got my Ironclad order to expand my trenches and build Brequar battery.
Fucking UPS broke 7 of 12 pieces.
A couple are pretty complex breaks too.
#wargamerproblems #terrain #gotanysuperglue #sigh
1. Is easy. Got a start with my Rohirrim actually
2. Picts are colorful
3. Romans are easy enough. Could add Gothic feoderati honestly

T54 activates again to hunt Shermans. Sherman wins Reaction and brews up the T54 that killed their Combat Team Cmdr.
I'm running out of brewed up tank markers. #wargamerproblems #wargaming
I really should open the thick envelope of documents to fill out for my CAF pension tonight.
But I'm in the mood to try doing 15mm camouflage for Mantovian Gebirsjaegern and Tartarian Combat Reconnaissance Troops
#wargamerproblems #wargaming
I've been wrestling with design problems with this tea wagon/field kitchen
Just had a flash of inspiration and need to remember it tonight when I'm home.
#wargamerproblems
#wargamerproblems
Been knocking a few purchases around in my head; Quar terrain from Sarissa maybe? Or some bits I'd like from Zombiesmith? Maybe Picts for #Midgard?
Canada Post be like
Making plans for next #Quar purchases and then you see something appear at the bottom of the @wargamesatlantic.bsky.social Friday email (becuz two boxes = free shipping!)

Suddenly my Toulmorese and Crusaders are each requisitioning a squad of Pathfinders #Quar #WargamerProblems
Stuck at car dealership until early afternoon.
Have had to cancel planned game with @madpadre.bsky.social

Trying to find historical "Gothic" or "Dark Age" cavalry .stls and getting all these weird fantasy results
"Ostrogothic" gets better results. But basic spear and round shield infantry types are hard to find.
Dwarf archers armoured and unarmoured
