Awesomness? No, Neverness...

o/

There wasn't a whole lot accomplished on the gaming front this week, really no excuse for it either as the weather has been abysmally rainy and going outside is generally to be avoided as much as possible.  That said I did manage to work on a few odds and ends. First up, my old school harlequins got themselves some bases:

Kicking it old school!

 Some ways back, I forgot a box (and the Swooping Hawks contained therein) when going to Morristown, and so RTVoril lent me his harlequins. With those Harlequins and the liberal use of the Eldar psychic power of 'DOOM!' I tabled a Nidzilla list with my fluff bunny Exodites. As such, they've been on my 'to get' list ever since. I'm not much of a fan of the new sculpts though, they look like they'll break too easily, especially a they're FAILcast minis, whereas the metal versions would instead fall over.

That problem is now solved as Neverness gifted me with 10 original Harlequins for Christmas! Some of the weapons fits are a little off from the current codex, but close enough. I'll try them out this Saturday night where I'll run two squads of five (which is why half are primered, to tell the squads apart).

...and on a totally different note...

BBQ Platoon!!!

We were set to play CBT last week, however the game was cancelled when Hive Angel fell ill. I've not heard from him since and can only assume that he's still wallowing in Nurgle's thrall. However I do have one thing to possibly cheer him up: the BBQ platoon finally has a their very own BBQ grill!

That name started as a joke when a platoon camped out in a city once and never did anything as it was assumed a BBQ street party was in progress. Having one model break from this base, there was room to add a grill from a few little bits of sprue and paper clip. BBQ Platoon is now my premiere infantry unit in Battletech, which is something that my other two platoons (the OMG! & WTF? platoons respectively) are probably quite jealous of...
