The Warhammer group seems to be running out of steam with attendance dropping below the minimum of three required for comfortable gaming. Chris and I spent the session chatting, catching up and eating cherries (which was nice) but with only two of us roleplay was not desirable. I anticipate the project being grounded. My character just made it to Sergeant prior to what seems (at the time of writing) to be the end of the campaign.
I prefer Warhammer RPG to 4th edition Dungeons and Dragons so even if this group has faltered hopefully a fresh campaign using the system can be sifted from the ashes. There are some mumurings of interest in Hackmaster (lolwut?) with a copy being brought to a previous session and discreetly pointed at people with enthusiastic prodding but I must say I DON'T find the idea of retro roleplay appealing.

Arrival of the Shroud Mages!
As I'd hoped the package waiting for me at the Post Office was the Shroud Mages starter fleet for Uncharted Seas that I have been eagerly waiting for.
Sadly the tips of the battleship's smoke stacks have been chipped during the long journey to Australia - however I seem to have been given an extra frigate (although it is missing a turret, so its inclusion in my box is probably a mistake rather than an intended bonus).
...now my Iron Dwarves have a fleet to sail against - no more maneuvers!

Work in progress: Uncharted Seas terrain
A few items from Eureka came in this afternoon. Actually today saw the arrival of many small packages and letters, although only these items are of immediate interest to miniature wargamers :)
This is the 6mm "Stone Tower Windmill" (RU43) made by Irregular Miniatures. Strictly speaking the scale is too large for Uncharted Seas but given that we are playing in a fantasy setting I don't think it will be too obvious. Besides, popular opinion is that 2mm scale buildings don't look right next to Uncharted Seas ships. Dwarf cruiser included for size reference.
I also grabbed a tiny 6mm "Seven Headed Hydra" (CR18) by Irregular Miniatures at the same time. The plan with this little guy is to use him as dressing for an otherwise empty island; he won't be used in the game as a monster that can affect play (let's assume he can't swim and try not to work out how he got on his island!). The island will be larger than the base you see him resting on in this shot. Dwarf cruiser included for size reference.
Now I have to paint them up!
