Another Year Over...

What a year it's been!

The C&G blog is going great guns, thanks in no small part to the efforts of the estimable Mr Mills (may his tribe increase), who has been doing most of the heavy lifting around here, often in extremely difficult circumstances. And he's doing the Analogue Painting Challenge as well! An inspiration and an example to us all.

Of course, the greater part of the equation is our audience; the friends, followers and visitors whose comments and support give our efforts direction and meaning. Without you, we're really just scrapbooking.

We've grown apace in 2013, and look forward to sharing more adventures in the world of wargaming, painting and modelling in the year to come. And it speaks volumes about our hobby that I can use the term 'adventure' in conjunction with a pastime that keeps us indoors more often than not... and with a straight face too! Anyway, you understand what I'm getting at.

So Happy New Year to all, and Happy Hogmanay from the latest recruits to my SAGA Scots, the Levy (now with bows!).

They're maintaining unit coherency, at least until they hit the whisky.

A few finishing touches are still needed in the paint department, like brooches, strap ends and a coat of varnish, but that's 5 points of Scots painted to a playable standard. As you can see, I've gone for a more 'homespun' colour palette, in keeping with the less affluent nature of the unit.

I have four more Hearthguard to paint up, and then it'll be on to the next project, just as soon as I figure out what that might be.

Stay tuned!
