Here is sort of a random smattering of updates, so please bear with the randomness.<\/p>\n<p>Lately, I&#8217;ve been working on some of the models I&#8217;ve gotten for Christmas, including the Australian fleet I got for Dystopian Wars. You can see a picture of the test model I painted below:<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_284\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/andysrandomstuff.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/003.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-284\" class=\"size-large wp-image-284\" alt=\"This is the first ship I've painted for my DW Australians. \" src=\"http:\/\/andysrandomstuff.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/003-1024x768.jpg\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"http:\/\/andysrandomstuff.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/003-1024x768.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/andysrandomstuff.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/003-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-284\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This is the first ship I&#8217;ve painted for my DW Australians.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>I&#8217;m hoping to get the finishing touches put on these models by the end of the week, so stay tuned!<\/p>\n<p>Gwen and I also spent the last week visiting my family out in Indiana. We had a really nice time! I finally managed to see my sister&#8217;s house after two years, and catch up with some relatives that I haven&#8217;t seen in about as long. We lucked out too, managing to get out of the Indianapolis area before a storm moved in.<\/p>\n<p>Yesterday, I finally manged to get a game of Dystopian Wars in, after almost a year! I demoed the game for another player at a store called Atlantis Games &amp; Comics. I had originally gone there hoping to get a game of 40k in, but there were no opponents available. It looks like Sunday afternoons might be a good time to roll out to that store and play games; there was a good group there playing.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, I&#8217;ve been playing a fair amount of video games lately. Of course, I&#8217;ve been playing World Of Tanks a bit, though I am thinking of dialing back on the amount of time I&#8217;m sinking into that game. I&#8217;ve been playing a lot of Fire Emblem: Awakening on my 3DS, which is proving to be the best game in the series (in my opinion) and an absolute blast. I&#8217;ve also started up playing Dark Expanse again, a MMO 4x strategy game.<\/p>\n<p>Well, that&#8217;s probably enough for now. I&#8217;ve got a number of further posts in mind, so stay tuned! I&#8217;m hoping to get one or two more up this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, it has been a couple of weeks since I&#8217;ve gotten around to updating here.
