Strategic Relocation

It’s a been a little quiet here lately. Over the last few months there’s been far less hobbying whilst I gather my things together ready for a long relocation from the UK to the US. There were many thoughtful moments of what will I try to carry on the flight and what I will commit to the waves and just hope it survives the journey; and trying not to think just how many pieces it may arrive in…

I did decide to carry my entire Tomb King collection with me. Not only does this allow me to jump straight in to games, it’s also my most completely painted collection.

I had signed up for a local discord to the area a month or so before to scope out the gaming scene ahead of my arrival, and was pleased to find it was pretty active. On my first week here, I managed to get a game scheduled, and played a most enjoyable 2v1 game; The orcs and Goblins teaming up with the Tomb kings against a High elf force.

But what that does mean is I have nothing to paint. Or… I didn’t. I caved quite quickly and picked up some Solar Auxilia models to have something to work on while I await the arrival of my collection. As of right now, it’s a battle force with an extra command squad. Enough models to take some time, but in game terms we’re only looking at about 600 points at a stretch.

Since my paints are in the box on the waves too, I bought a small army painter starter set to get some time painting in too. This does limit the colours I can use, but it’s been nice working within those restrictions, and I’m already thinking how I’ll use my other paints when they arrives to work on top of these base colours… Only a few more weeks to wait…

Until next time 🙂
