Goblins. You need more goblins in your life.

It's not exactly forty painted goblin wolfriders, but it is goblins, and they are painted.

Five of them.

As I crawl ever forward, one patient, painful, drawn-out paint stroke at a time:

Not staged like Victoria, unfortunately, so you'll need to use your imagination if you don't like the green plastic setting. That not a problem for you, right? You are looking at goblins, after all.

In other news, the last vestiges of common sense have finally abandoned me. Lonely, confused, bruised and weeping, it phoned me last night to tell me we were through.

So now, equipped as I must surely be with either uncommon sense, or common unsense (dare I say - nonsense?), I thought I'd print out warhammer quest.

What's that? Printed it out, did you say?

Yeah. Er. About that. I, um...found it. On a hard drive. Not my hard drive, you understand. Someone else's. I thought it was my tax return. Oh well.

The thing is - I want to buy it. Its just that GW don't sell it. And after the Lichemaster arrived, I find myself unable to convince my wife that I need to spend ~£150 on eBay for what she understands is just a board game. As if!

I have fond memories of the system and I keep hoping that GW will re-produce it. I know there have been rumours to that effect, so I wait with interest. But, until that time comes about, I decided to make my own. Its much harder work than I thought, but having started, I must now finish:

Of course, these things aren't the hard part - that comes with laminating and cutting out what must surely be over a hundred thousand cards for encounters and treasure. I've not taken pictures, because right now I hate the damn things and they have been shut away in a drawer.

Eh? Was that a question in the back? Could you repeat that? Oh, progress on the Lichemaster, you ask?

I'm getting to that, honest.

What? Another question? Pushy today, aren't we? Go on then...

Final turn of River Chai?

Yeah - that too. Nearly there, honest! Before June ends, I'm almost certain.

Unless I decide to paint another adventurer...



EDIT:

In a completely unrelated note, I discovered something interesting today. I'm not big on the whole stats thing, but every time I post, I pop over and check the hits and source sites - especially as this is a great way to find other oldhammer blogs. Specifically, I found the following search term led to a hit on the blog today:

adult+fantasy+art+blow+job

I just wish I knew what went through his mind as he read with excitement the title 'Warhammer For Adults'...
