Spring Fever?

Well it sounded like a cool blog title, but more accurately it should be "A Cold in March". Yes the weather has improved here in the UK and it is wonderful to see the sun shining, the birds nesting, and the allergy sufferers sneezing. A shame then that I am indoors with a cold, trying to paint miniatures when sneezing is not easy, hence the lack of updates this last couple of weeks. When you have CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) colds tend to knock you off your feet for a while, but I am sure I will bounce back again soon. You cannot keep yourself in a sterile bubble, that would be no fun at all, but you do tend to see less people simply due to being unable to get out and about much and are, therefore, more likely to catch things when you do socialise; having not been exposed to many bugs to build up an immunity. A tricky Catch 22 situation.

Playing computer games on the other hand is not too difficult when sneezing, so I have made some progress with my latest one - Dungeon Siege II with its expansion Broken World. A fun fast-paced action RPG in the Diablo vein with some cool character progressions/skills and powers. First time through I am using pets rather than NPCs to bulk out my party. Currently playing a ranged person, with throwing weapons and starting to multi-class to a Blood Assassin.

Now the cold is beginning to improve I am back to painting a commission of Genestealers (Games Workshop Tyranids), in the traditional colours of Space Hulk. Still working on the Chaos Knights also.
