Little activity at the front
 |
| General Chatter consults the Campaign map |
Another month with little hobby activity to report; a few photos of recently painted figures follow.
A copse* of Ents (and other treeoids)
(* I suspect the collective noun for Ents ought to be a Moot)

| Minifigs ME37 Large Ent circa 1973 |
 |
| Minifigs VFW24 Tree with arms and face circa 1978 |
 |
| Games Workshop Ent - can't remember when I acquired this! |
More Elhiem Figures
A few more of Elhiem's 20mm fantasy figures came too close to my paint brush.
I have a lot of time for the Druidic Wizard type (furthest to the right) and the Female Elf warrior (2nd from the left) is rather good too.
New board
Finally, a new board for 2mm Portable War games was painted on Christmas Eve. I hope to play a game on it before this year is finished (though as it's 2020, who knows what will happen next). The inspiration for this board was Martin Smith's painted chess board that was featured on Bob Cordery's post HERE.
What do you attribute to your lack of hobby activities? The holidays? Hope to see you get in a game on your new board. You know, you make a point about 2020. It may NOT end...
ReplyDeleteThe lack of hobby activity is due mainly to domestic chaos! Plus lots of work in the last quarter of the year, though that's a good complaint!
DeleteA game is afoot, hopefully tomorrow...
The new board is superb sir, as is the minifigs ent - full of 70s scary'ness'.
ReplyDeleteReally love those elheim 20mm. I have some of their modern figs - which reminds me, must get 'Hyboria Now' on the table.
Many thanks Duc. I'm very keen to see the modern take on Hyboria
DeleteHom hom hom, I loooove these Ents :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Philotep!
ReplyDeleteNice work Jack, the collection of 'ents throughout the ages' is wonderful (what is the collective term for Ents?) And the board is great.
ReplyDeleteCheers Mr Sprinks. Hope you and the family had a good Christmas!
DeleteA forest of Ents? :-)
DeleteRegards, Chris.
I like the board! I’m currently looking at painting one of my own.
ReplyDeleteAll the best,
Bob
Thanks Bob. This is just a little one for 2mm figures, one foot square with 1.5x1.5 inch squares.
ReplyDeleteA glorious board and one I may well copy.
ReplyDeleteMartin Smith's original got me enthused to do a bit of artwork!
DeleteP.s love the ents!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was at school Ents were to Middle Earth gamers what Elephants were to Ancients gamers!
DeleteI know the feeling about the lack of hobby stuff done in the last month or so - it's been a longyear !
ReplyDeleteI think that as we get longer daylight hours we'll all pick up the pace a bit.
I think you're right Joe - I really don't like the Winter!
DeleteBest wishes for the New Year.
The ents, the 20mm miniatures and the board look wonderful. I love the colours you used on the board. I'm looking forward to your battle report! Cheers, Karl
ReplyDeleteThank you Karl - the first use of the board is reported here: https://btohw.blogspot.com/2020/12/scenario-13-escape.html
DeleteFrohes neues Jahr (hope that's right)
Thanks for the link. Frohes neues Jahr!
DeleteYou're very welcome
