Final Headcount


Last post for the year in total I have managed 154 figures, virtually three every week despite a lot of travel with work (over 20 outbound flights this year). I also managed to mainly stick to projects in hand and not buy many figures.

I have the otherworld miniatures indiegogo figures but still waiting the second batch. I love these figures and would have bought more if not put off by the delays with the indiegogo delivery.

So totals for the year are:-

Call Of Cthulhu
37
Darkest Africa
8
Mahdists
4
USA WW2
12
Modern Zombies
4
Fantasy RPG
89
154

The call of cthulhu stuff is mainly 1920's adventurers which I finished off, but also include a few monsters, pictures will follow.
 
Gaiming wise apart from SEEMS I played in 6-8 games including WW2 skirmish using the TWAT rules and a Sudan TSATF, which I negected to take pictures of.
 
For 2014, I have a few projects, which I should finish off, that do not require any cash investment:-

1) Saxon warband for Saga . These can also be used for FRP as generic humans so should get cone.

2) Remainder of WW2 Yanks. Not really certain why I started these but I should aim to polish them off.

3) Modern Zombies, I have a whole stack of these painted and a load more ready to go (undercoated) so should be a quick finish.

4) More Masai, really would like to get these done but my enthusiasm waxes and wans

5) More Fantasy stuff, thinking of completing an A to Z of the DnD original monster Manuel, plus of course Mordheim and other WHFB stuff.

New Projects tempting me, which would require an investment:-

1) VBCW loads of nice stuff out there, but I own nothing.

2) AK47 I have painted a base of this up but have rsisited furthur temptation.

3) ECW skirmish, maybe mixed with horror. I have around 40 figures to be getting on wiht so maybe.

4) A unit of UNIT for Dr Who, just because I fancy it using the Gripping Beast MOFO figures,

5) 30-40 Union for skirmishing my Reb's
 
Anyway all the best for the new year.

2019 Final Score and 2020 Targets

A review of my plan for 2020 and a update on the 2019 plan Painting wise a very tough year with the study going upstairs, coming down, and now being used as the TV room:- A very low number considering 2019's 170+ 2019 Darkest Africa 11 WW2 British 12 WW2 Japanese 1 WW2 Germans 1 Fantasy 11 Saxons 2 Terrain 13 51 I also started work on the third batch of Jungle terrain, rebased my Fantasy adventurers so all bases are consistent, block painted my Colonial Belgiums, and built the WW2 Japanese army and a squad of Germans. I did not manage to avoid any new projects. Adding the Japanese was somewhat a surprise but is jungle based so a lot of terrain is ready. 2020  Targets 1) Darkest Africa Belgium's for MWWBK and DITDK, mostly based coated. 2) Schedule some painting for my Fantasy stuff. I would like to do an old school army, either Undead (no Purchases needed) or Chaos beastmen. 3) Complete my Japanese and German C...

Warhammer Fantasy Battle

So having now painted a fair number of fantasy figures there is a need to start to work out how they could be used. Mordheim initially springs to mind with a solid background and some nice terrain already build. My original plan was to use the figures as part of a D&D game but this still looks a long way off. With my thoughts returning to old school gaming I have been toying with gladiatorial battles perhaps using the fantasy trip or one of the early old school games. This has now come around to possibly using 3 rd (or 2 nd ) edition warhammer fantasy battle.  These early rule sets certainly cover most of the creatures that I was thinking of using and of course I already own the rules. For 3 rd edition I have the rulebook, siege, army lists and slaves to darkness. So plenty to be getting on with. I also have the box and booklet for Terror of the Lichemaster but the cardboard figures and most of the buildings are long gone. However I do really like the later editions of WHF...
