Gaming and painting roundup

I've finally completed decaling my Cromwell/Challenger/Firefly spam just in time for me to realise that 4th ed. is out and the units will probably change once the relevant books are published.

I decided to stay away from unit markings despite this being the reason I started decaling them up (a regular opponent was frustrated at not being able to tell units apart) as they pull double duty in different formations depending on the source book. I'll just use tiddlywinks or something to mark units when the time comes.

All in all, a fairly frustrating process, due to incomplete marking guides in battlefronts books, and little easily accessible information online.

At least I haven't buggered it up like the Char B1's this time (AFAIK)

Here's a photo of the fiddly little bastards - I'll be damned if they don't get some airtime.


I've had a reasonable amount of game time as well with a fairly tasty game of BFG


Not pictured: me helping!

and some "quick" games of Flames 4th ed.

Tetrarchs and Paras try to hold back the Soviet party bus


Significantly less gribbly panzergrenadiers try to turf paras out of their new digs



But mostly, quite a lot of Pathfinder run by Peter of Lead Rising, having wrapped up my own campaign. It's quite liberating to be a player again, although I already have ideas for my future campaigns.

Things go badly wrong for ambushing bandits as their best fighter takes a cheetah to the rear while their caster is cut down by an invisible bastard.
