Updates.

     I really thought I could rock out 20 Pink Horrors, but regardless of how much detail is necessary that's just a lot of the same thing over and over again. To be fair, it hasn't really taken too long - I may have only spent about 4-5 hours tops at the table painting them, but it's boring and easily lends itself to me gravitating towards other activities. They should be off the paint table soon, though, as the metal is all I have left, really.
     The Spartan and Vindicator have been built, and require just a bit more prep before I can toss them on the painting table. I'm not sure if they'll be up next or not. The next 3-day weekend I have is one I want to spend pumping through Infinity terrain building and painting, so whatever I decide to paint in the meantime will need to be fully completed by then.

Frostgrave:

     Good game. Last night a friend and I got in our first game and it ran really smoothly. There were a few rules we didn't bother looking up and just kind of improvised to keep the game moving, but it's a simple and basic game that has enough layers to be interesting. I'm not sure it has longevity, but they are just pumping out supplements. And it's a game based around a living campaign sort of situation, which creates enough depth to be wholly engaging.
     I brought my Dwarf models out to play the game, and was excited about that. I love me some dwarves. But after spending a good amount of time searching for ideal dwarf models, and thinking about paint schemes, I caught myself investing in yet another army. So the rational me brought myself back to my original point in playing Thousand Sons/Chaos - to have one surpreme army that fits all Warhammer and Fantasy-kind of games. With Frostgrave not caring about what models you have, I'll be using it as an excuse to focus on some Daemons. A Wizard and an apprentice easily nets me two painted Heralds of Tzeentch, it's just figuring out how to model other chaos daemon models to represent the gear associated with the standard DnD flare.

Infinity:

     After a bit on eBay, and a whole lot of time planning and researching, I've invested about $75 bucks on DIY materials to create a new Infinity table. I'll be doing some little tutorials over how it all works, and my hope is to make some really simple, but really effective Infinity tables on the cheap. If I can hash out a table in around 50-70 bucks, then it's a solid start to getting my local store some terrain. Having great terrain is one thing, but having to lug it around with you is a chore.
