4 within walking distance ?

must be sooo expensive to live there 🙂

Where I live there is only one … and it has mostly boardgames.

I’ve 3 within a 5min walk @limburger and another one about 15min away

@limburger I used to live walking distance to the largest physical independent games store in the world, and it was good I was into other more expensive hobbies at the time. Avoided a bullet!

Have I bought new minis this year? Decidedly not. I’m going to hold off atleast until June. That should be enough time to get through my current armies, paint the commission army I will receive this weekend (SAGA is getting attention *hoots happily*) and then consider Giftmas. I…[Read more]

This time I tried some Daz air drying clay with the cobblestone roller I have.

Agreed, Finnish people were the inspiration. The Kalevala highly inspired Tolkien, and it’s Finnish.

@sundancer I would think it would be more like a big greasy bird, duck or goose maybe? Although, I don’t know anyone who’s tried one. Can’t shoot them.

Exactly, what I should have got, what I actually got.
