Oh Deer

Still not much going on as I struggle to get any enthusiasm to get anything done. I've spent some time mulling over why I can seem to focus on anything and I think it boils down to simple fatigue. I've been on the same project for a while, Barons War and with a display game ready for Border Reiver and I think I really need a change. With nothing new on the horizon I ordered some chariots for the Trojan war, I may try and get back into this and give them a go using Midgard. I may also dig out the 15mm Punic Wars stuff I still need to get painted.

In the meantime I did manage to get a couple of things done, some wildlife for the Border Reiver game to be hidden in the woods. These are some deer and wild boar from Warbases.





These were quick and easy to do and will help bring the table to life. There are also a pair of foxes that I need to get finished. The only other figures I managed to paint were some extra Welsh warriors. 2 from Footsore, the other 3 are plastic Gripping beast dark age welsh with various head and shield swap. They look like they will mix in.




So nearly 2 months in and my output is well down, normally I'd have around 2-300 figures done by now. I'm currently at about 25%. I'm hoping things pick up soon.
