A lot of work

After the fantastic roller coaster of running the Owl Programmable Pedal Kickstarter, I've been preparing and starting my new job [Development Manager @ Gamesys] and have been pretty exhausted. This weekend however I'm at GW's centre in Nottingham for Throne Of Skulls. I decided to take a similar lists to last year but with a Helldrake and more MoN Chaos Spawn, so I've been busy painting them. Here is a picture of the Plaguedrake, made from a bitz from a Vampire Counts Zombie Dragon, Daemon Prince and Forgefiend. I'm very pleased with it, although the painting needs a lot more work, it's 3-colour ready.

I'm getting a really strong itch for some roleplaying again though, after our Inquisitor game finished. While I really want to run the D&D Slavelords campaign, with A0, my group isn't so keen on fantasy, so I'm tempted either by The Armitage Files ToC or running GUMSHOE Inquisitor using Bleeding Rim Ashen Stars rules.     

Day Zero, Monsters out of time

Skyelund is home to various species of lizard-like reptiles known as drakes that range from tiny winged creatures to huge horned beasts that can carry a platform of warriors into battle. While knights prefer horses that are tamed easily and can be ridden into the cool evenings, some regiments use instead terrible teethed mounts called rage drakes. Many merchants will employ guard drakes instead of dogs to protect their property and more than one great hero is said to have flown on the backs of great winged serpents. Drakes seem to prefer warm climates and are far more common in the south, however packs of white furred wolf drakes are said to haunt the great forests of the north.

These creatures are said to have been spawned eons before man conquered the lands and are some how connected to dragons.
