That's a heck of a title.
Hi guys.
The year end is approaching. But before that, it's not too late to wish Merry Christmas to all of you my friends.
The Covid situation here is still not pretty. Papa Nurgle is not satisfied with the amount of pestilence spread in the world, so the nurglings is doing overtime. As usual, please wear mask when you are outside, use hand sanitizer, maintain your hygiene, keep social distancing and so on.
1) WIP: Painting GW Stuff - Part 05
With the new paints stock in hand, I'm scrambling to clear my painting backlog ASAP. Need to clear the grey mountain fast if I want to add more to the collection.
So, I present thee...the last of Morghast quadruple.

Next up, another set of Immortis / Necropolis, and after that the Mortek guard. Then the OBR side will be complete and I can move to completing the Ogor side....still a long way to go.
2) Making terrain
More specifically, making forest for TANKS / Battlefront minis. Since I have a lot of tanks and I have completed painting my TANKS stuffs...so it is appropriate to have a decent selection of terrain to play with.
With that in mind, and after hours of rummaging through the endless tide of boxes in my storage room, I finally found all the items needed to make the terrain....sometime it is a good thing you are a junk collector, you never knew when the item will becoming handy, especially during those eureka moments.
So this is my eureka moment:
I may have gone a bit overboard with the quantity. Somehow I feel like I've made too much. But in the same time I also feel like it is not enough...how conflicting. Anyway, it turn out pretty nice. The variety of tree type and height give a bit of natural vibe of a forest.

3) Playing board game
I managed to get Fireball Island : The Curse of Vul-Kar for the kids to play...at least. The game is interesting and engaging enough for my eldest son to remain at his sit throughout the game play.
The other two boys however, were delighted to play...not the game, but just playing the marbles over and over again. They went HYSTERICALLY laughing and screaming while flicking the marbles through the island walkway and in Vul-Kar. Several fighting had to be intervened before they accidentally break the board game.
Need to have strict parental guidance if you want to play this with under age kids.
Other than that, I've included my eldest son to play Kingdomino, Point Salad, Bears & Babies, and King of Tokyo (which is his favorite). I'm hoping to let him exploring into more "heavier" game for him to learn and train his cognitive and critical thinking skills.

4) Playing World Of Tank : Miniature Game
I finally got my WoT copy just before Christmas. And my eldest son is really interested to join in. So as a fellow gamer would do, I introduced him to this hobby. I teach him the basic rules to use and played a couple of rounds to get him familiarize.

We played for a few rounds, which he kicked my butt through out the game (Newbie luck). It is a good feeling when seeing your kids try and enjoy the hobby you have, It gave me much opportunity for bonding with the boys aside from being a strict parent to grow them.

Quite a post this time.
Well, it is a pleasure for me in this chaotic year 2020.
A lot of achievement done (I presume), and a lot more to be done.
Stay safe guys.
See you next year.
Till then.
