Things that may make Wargamers Cry part 5.......

......in a series of feck knows!

Damn Shiny Blindness!!!!!

So anyway me an Ray are wandering around a show this year and we had talked briefly about getting a board game for the night shifts and the real boredom hours around two in the morning, so we see this stand and had talked about getting the Game of Thrones board game (good reviews, liked the books and the TV series) so we go halves and for reasons unknown to the fecking pair of us we end up with this card game, now Ray bought the item himself and the vendor did throw in something extra but...........

.....it took 6 weeks before we noticed the box cover and that we hadn't played it yet!


The fecking card game.......

The free card pack......

What we really wanted...........


....but maybe what does it matter when this is what I have to work with......

Lurker: Ray!
Lurker: Ray!!
Lurker: For fecks sake wake up!
Ray: What.....where am I?
Lurker: You were sleeping!
Ray: No way...I was resting my eyes!
Lurker: I'll rest them permanently Ironsides, now go do a patrol!
Ray:....but it's cold out there.....and dark!


Proof if it was ever needed!

So looks like eBay then and don't forget British Summertime ends tonight or this morning (clocks go backward and we end up working 13 hours instead of 12)...nice!

Things that may make a Wargamer whine part 4.......

....or maybe they should just man or woman up, I've changed it from crying as normal!

So anyway on to the whining/whinging, I am on my last shift of 6 x 12 hour days and I have had nothing to paint of my own, the lead box was dry for one of the first times ever, I had placed an order with a company on the 15th of last month to cover this eventually but I contacted them last Thursday and they said it had just been despatched but I truly had nothing to paint, I offered a friend (no not Ray as he's on holiday, it's been lovely!) and he cycled down to the site with 2 x 28mm WW2 undercoated tanks (that I had bought the bollox for his birthday last February, I should have just painted them then!) and I painted them (that was an hour killed), I then repainted 2 28mm sentinels form Games Workshop that I had stuck on a shelf and had been looking at them with malice for many years (and will be used for the sci-fi shenanigans) and then there was nothing....left!

I've lost a fortune on Facebook poker, made other members of staff cry, upset some landscapers, looked at some nude things, contemplated and dismissed 74 new periods, went on eBay a lot, more nude shenanigans, upset some delivery drivers, had an argument about the movie "Shoot em Up" again with a co-worker, read some rules, threw a lot of cans back over a wall, upset the Royal Mail etc.......

Even actually working didn't kill enough time, I have ordered something small from some other sources for next Wednesday when I'm back at work but what if they don't turn up....... and no I'm not painting your figures either!!!!!

I know some of you are thinking big deal but it's not funny to have nothing to paint and occupy a tiny mind!

Has this ever happened to you lot?

This is the Lurkers imaginary metal mountain box picture.....

28mm WW2 Churchill and Cromwell tanks, he'll do the decals himself......

A reject (John) has recently been to Australia and sent me some holiday snaps and this one really amused me.........
....but you say why Australia Lurker?

Well I've won another competition (been doing quite well lately, need to speak to Tamsin about something!) and the lovely Alan over at Dux Homunculorum has sent me this lovely 28mm Harald Hardrada figure (he's lovely)

Figure and postcard and he came in an impressively packed box with impressive postage (Alan probably was going "How fecking much"? in the post office) packaging and labels....


Proof if it was even required, Ray has said he's having the figure but I say over his dead fecking body.....

I'm bored and off to the GZG site to spend some eBay money....
