About Me

A mythical beast - a female wargamer! I got back into wargaming in the summer of 2011 after a very, very long break and haven't looked back since. I must admit that I seem to be more of a painter/collector than a gamer, but do hope to correct that at some point in the near future. My gaming interests span the ages, from the "Biblical" era all the way through to the far future. I enjoy games of all sizes, from a handful of figures up to major battles (see my megalomaniacally sized Choson Korean and Russian Seven Years War armies).

Challenge Day 35 - Match Postponed

...due to the effects of two nights of insomnia.

Yup, I've had two successive nights of insomnia. I thought I might be OK for the game tonight (which I was quite looking forward to), but by early afternoon I realised that it was extremely likely that I'd end up falling asleep face-down in my curry. So, I cried off and got a couple of hours sleep instead when I got home.

There has been one benefit though. Since waking up, I've been able to finish off the touching-up I started last night. Now I've just got the flags to do before varnishing them. Of course, that does mean that they will be finished for Saturday's post.




Speaking of post,


This package was waiting for me when I got home. It was a bunch of bits I'd ordered from Warbases - some bases, some pavement sections, a backyard and some figures.



Yes, a pair of bloodhounds. You may be wondering why I've bought some mutts, but they will become part of my Mob Wars project as a little vignette if I can find (or convert) a suitable human figure to go with them.

  3. Sleeping is well over-rated imo (I have issues sleeping too).
    Your figures look as good as always.

  5. I had sleep 'issues' for nearly 6 years, so you have my sympathies. I never fell asleep into any food, but have slept on the ground in the middle of a building site while work carried on around me. Health and Safety would of had a fit :)

    Lovely painting, btw.

  8. @ Whisk - thanks. I suffer from bouts of insomnia every so often, so I'm used to it :)

    @ Dannoc - cheers. The bases should do me for a few 15mm SciFi projects.

    @ Zabadak - I don't need much sleep anyway, but insomnia hits me hard when I get a bout.

    @ Ray - believe me, it is a pain

    @ Roy - hmm, that does sound rather unsafe mate :)

    @ Adam - luckily my bouts usually only last a night or two, so I can recover reasonably quickly :)

    @ Ian - cheers. Should be as human as I normally am after the weekend :)
