I have three Citadel Woods, but they are technically part of the Sylvaneth Army. There is no Miniature that is more of a pain in The was to store, even with the trees detached.
I haven’t painted in like three weeks. It’s been too cold in the basement. Gotta get back in there, I am wanting to get back to my Nurgle stuff.

Frostgrave. Mother fucking Frostgrave.
Despite it's occasional swinginess in gameplay, this is the best skirmish game that I have played in quite awhile.
Not just because of the gameplay of being a wizard, but because this encourages creativity rather than hampers it.
I look at the 8 sets of Heroscape thaelenk tundra, and hundreds of snow tiles sitting unused, and really want to somehow convert this into a hex based game. If I could manage this and not fuck with the overall mechanics too hard to do it, I think Frostgrave would be kingshit.
Anyways, I've played a bit here and there with a motley Crew of figs just to get my feet wet, and this game really does deserve the full hobby treatment, so down the rabbit hole I descend again after quite a bit of time away from modelling/painting.
Another factor in why I am doing this is to teach the male spawnling patience. He is really bad about instant gratification. Not that I blame him much in this day and age, but he has been diagnosed with ADHD, and I strongly suspect he is higher on the autistic spectrum than his therapists believe.
So this will get him away from the kaleidoscope of videogames, have more father figure/son time, teach him a few skills by somebody who has been doing this for 30+ years now, and have something to show for his efforts.
Since he is so detailed oriented, I think this would be a very good hobby for hm. But first he must learn patience. Otherwise he will have no interest beyond 5 minutes.
Everyone yakking about the latest and greatest gw game really needs to simmer down, calm their tits and give Frostgrave a shot. Especially since you can use the gw fantasy models you already have.

I have been skirmishing the hell out of Osprey skirmish games lately. Frostgrave is great!
I've got two problems with it:
1) That raw d20 roll for everything is going to make me lose my mind.
2) It tells you to use "any miniatures you have to hand" and then gives you a very set list of things you can field and fight. WTF is a "Rangifer?"
My friend and I have been very Goldilocks about skirmish games, however. There's always something not quite right with them. So far, in spite of the cost, we like Infinity the best, and, for me, I like the homebrewed Hinterland rules for AOS second best (while my friend prefers Rogue Stars).
I'm about to sit down and take a hard look at Kobolds and Cobblestones, sort of a clever, Mordhiem-meets-Poker mash-up.
