Too true  
Grand time - the Tower was grand, as was Mam Tor. And I managed short Tai Chi sessions on Win Hill and Ringing Roger too.

Meanwhile - back to work!
On Friday I finished a small Niddy beast which I'd started before the holiday - it's a Haruspex or something-elspex without the tin-opener arms, and looks like a slug with tusks. Then I set to work on the two old Wardens I bought from the Wargames Emporium 2nd hand, and reassembled the old style 28mm Necron Immortals, with two being modified - the commander of the squad no has a flail, and one of the Immortals is now sighting down the barrel of his very big gun - a very easy and effective change to arm positions was all the latter took. I also tackled a Khemri skeleton (a paint test), whilst today I test-painted an Elf. There's the national Warhammer tourney in September, and I need a new army. Trouble with the Elves is that a few are MIA in the pile of stuff, and I'd also need to buy the new rule book; so the Khemrians have won the day. looks like the menagerie will consist mostly of bits of bone for the next weeks. But can I paint an army from scratch in 5 weeks? Anyone who knows me will say NO! Still  - 'ere goes.

So here goes a Khemri diary:
Day one (yesterday)
painted a test model, an old, old skellie with a scimitar. The old chap got away with a very rare right-first time. And then inspiration struck. I know have a scheme which (1) looks good) (2) is weird and unusual (3) is FAST. I'm pleased.    It won't win any prizes, but I'm happy with my idea.

Day two (today)
Dragged out the Khemrians who had defected to my Vampire counts army as well as a Tomb scorpion (modified slightly, surprise...) and 3 tomb swarms. If I finish these I would already have 2 units done - bit of a morale boost, see?

1 swarm started. Perhaps I should also start to plan the army. I need to choose between cavalry focus, foot focus, or a mix of both.
