Man Vs. Hobby Days 6 & 7, & Games with Dylan

The visit of my muggle brother has restricted hobby time, but that's cool cause I have got the chance to spend time with my amazing nephews, Dylan, Rieley and Max.

On Saturday I managed to build a Stormfang, not the best use of the kit but this will serve as my primary anti-armour and anti-air unit until I am able to add a couple of Storm Wolves and perhaps a Fire Raptor. Equipped with Lascannons, Skyhammer Missiles and the Helfrost Destroyer it should pack a nice punch.

I also managed to introduce Dylan to a couple of decent games, Castllan on Saturday and Rampage and Dino Hunt Dice on Sunday, he love them all, however I now have to play Monopoly with him tonight :-(

Castellan is a great game for kids and I really think Steve Jackson Games should try and market the game to younger kids, I suppose the small bits are an issue, but every time I play it as an MiB it goes down amazingly with kids, yeah it's a pricey game, but the components are top notch, the rules are simple and it's a great way to teach resource management and how to plan ahead to children.

On Sunday spent time watching the Great North Run, my brother Paul got an impressive time of 2hrs and 19 Minutes and did me and his family proud, well done you silly idiot!

I did manage to build a single Grey Hunter, used the torso from the Stormfang kit, and I used a Space Marine biker torso for the pilot. Again, I like to mix a few parts around so I get a slightly more unique army, and it's a nice torso, too nice to be behind a canopy!

Due to blackouts the girls had me stay at home rather than either go to South Shields to cheer Paul in as he finished or head up to Newcastle to check out the new Comic Book cafe, but well they have to look after my health, I suppose.

Anyway, tomorrow I plan to do some undercoating and finally strip the Rune Priest, still need to buy an additional Tune Priest however, and perhaps a Wolf Priest too.
