I remember having such painting nights when I was a young wargamer. I always enjoyed them, and got a lot of production on those nights.

I have always been one to paint whatever I am currently and most actively playing and recently that has been FoW, with the recent addition of EotD... the GASLIGHT thing is a fun interesting side distraction for me at the moment, though as yet no games played... perhaps some actual games could give me a bit of motivation!<br />I have never thought of painting as a social get together type thing... get togethers are usually game time... with painting being a solo activity between games... but how knows it could be a different way to spend time with mates...<br />Thanks again<br />Cheers<br />Scott<br />Scottswargaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00581220877007982139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33886045.post-38582121051213334792012-09-13T10:49:43.309+12:002012-09-13T10:49:43.309+12:00Two thoughts, sir.

I would suggest that as a straight Colonial set of rules, use lesser "Lead Characters".<br /><br />Second, on painting the rest of your Zulus, you know that if they're painted, you will use them . . . so the trick is getting them painted.<br /><br />I have found that getting together with a gaming buddy for a "Painting Night" is a great way to get those hard-to-get-started-on projects done. You sit and paint, chatting about various gaming stuff and the figures get "dressed".<br /><br />So how about seeing if you can set up a "Painting Night" with some of your compatriots . . . they might help put together and paint those Zulus . . . and the company is good too.<br /><br /><br />-- JeffBluebear Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05171345165563779232noreply@blogger.com
