Just call me Arfa

  Arfa Job that is. I appear to have started a few bits but so far not managed to finish any...sort of...

But first:

Let's all have a nice bit of the Clash shall we?.

This is a bit odd, it's been a week since my last post. Normally this would be a perfectly acceptable amount of time between posts, but with the current happenings about the place it feels like an absolute age!. I have been busy however.

I started by clearing out the conservatory here at Chez Sprinks', that has up until now be affectionately known as 'the shitehole'. Every house has a room or space of some kind that becomes the designated dumping area, a place where things that come under the loose heading of 'iwillworkoutwheretoputitinthefardistantfuture'are placed awaiting 're-distribution' some time or another. Well round this gaff it was the good old conservatory. This has now been gutted, cleaned and transformed  into an area featuring a sofa, dart board and one of those 5 in 1 games tables for the kids

This type of thing.

Which by a startling coincidence gives me a rather handy surface for gaming on that also  happens to have best natural light in the house.

You will be pleased to note that I have taken immediate advantage of this!.

The new board has been christened and 6mm forces blooded. This was ment to be for a battle report but my phone battery had other ideas and gave up the ghost as things started to get interesting!. The game was a test game for some new rules for the forces I am putting together which I have yet to write. I will hopefully soon get them down and post them in whatever state they are in. The plan being I will edit, change and adapt them as they are tested.

Also I have started work on my next 6mm force for my 

Project, where I am attempting to put together discarded forces from the early days of Warhammer. The next force being:

 They very much vanished by 4th edition, various sea themed elf types continued in the lore but sea elves as a thing were gone. Now I'm not a huge elf fan but I can get behind an elf merchant company aggressively opening new markets and protecting trade routes and generally being a bit more hands on and down to earth than the aloof elves of the rest of the Warhammer canon. So I have got an irregular miniatures 6mm elf army pack and have been working through it, this is the sum of my efforts so far:

 The gang as things stand.

 The core of spears and archers.

 Some scouts, known as Seekers in 3rd edition. As they are ment to range ahead of the main force I went with clothing that would let them blend in to the settings flora.

I even had a bash at a camo pattern on their capes. Not sure I pulled it off but at 6mm who's going to know?. Hopefully I will have the force table ready soon.

....till next time.....
