February 22nd 2023: Novitiates

Took delivery of some old scout models - golly, but models were bad back in the day compared to now! - and assembled them. They are going to be the novitiates of my Blood Angels army, which - following the advice of my military-savvy old friend "Me Mate Ginger Dave" - would serve as riflemen in Devastator (rear line) squads rather than scouts and infiltrators. So; 10 of them armed with bolters!

Miniature Golf

No, not the thing you play with brightly colored balls and windmills - but a way of keeping tabs on your painting and purchasing. There are various variations, but - in essence - you get positive points for buying models and negative ones for painting them (or otherwise getting them off your "pile of shame"). The idea, like golf, is to end up with as low a score as possible - of course, in theory it is possible to get a negative score!

The game is played in seasons - Summer, Spring etc. It is the Winter season now, and it runs from 20th December to 20th March. Here is my current score;
