*Tap Tap - Is This Thing On?

If there is anyone left following me - Hi y'all!  Man. It's been a crazy couple of years eh? Not looking like it's going to get much better either, but we're going to ignore all that and stay in our safe place of hobbying.

I'm back. Or, I'm trying to be. I've thought about the blog a lot over the last couple of years and have always wanted to pick it back up so here I am. Main reason for the hiatus has been *gestures at the world* and also the fact that I'm now a proud Girl Dad of two girls, age 3 and 6 months. Hobby time has gone down significantly, but that'll also hopefully start picking up here shortly as well.

Myself and several guys from work have finally gotten a games club up and running! They affectionately call it "Dad Support Group" and we game twice a month after all our kids go to bed. My basement has been remodeled into a games club/pub with room for three 6x4 tables which is quite nice.  Below are some older pics of some of the games and tables.

 

Looking forward to bringing this all back and growing it.  Lots of plans and I just need a place to share.

6MMRPC - Silver Bayonet (1) - Spanish and French

 Silver Bayonet has utterly captured my imagination and I'm not sure why. I have in the past had zero desire to paint 28mm Napoleonic figures...and I'm guessing that the background, and low figure count is why this is appealing to me. 

I pre-ordered the rules and first three national units produced by North Star from Brigade Games and they turned up decently fast after the rules were released. Below, you shall see my finished Spanish and French units!

The whole French unit -
