2018 Taking Stock

I did not do a plan for 2018 so I will review my 2017 plan here as it is in line and talk about the last two years:-

2019 Targets


1) Darkest Africa Belgium's for MWWBK and DITDK.

2) Dungeon terrain. I have started the adventures camp from Otherworld and need to work through the two boxes of mantic Dungeon and City Terrain



3) Schedule some painting for my Fantasy stuff, 

4) No new projects, although, Egyptions for the Sudan, 70s africa, Pulp, 15mm AK47, Cold War Hot are all calling me

5) continue to sell the excess including in all likelihood my huge WOTR collection.

2018 Painting

Was a highly respectable (for me) 173 figures, mostly finishing off/working towards old projects

Darkest Africa 78
WW2 British 40
WW2 British Vehicles 12
Fantasy 30
Terrain 5
Modern Z's  4
BOB/1920s 4
  173

I also bought a Tembe that will see action in 2019

A review of 2017/2018 Targets

1) More Fantasy stuff, I will aim to rebase my Empire for Dragon Rampant, and build an Undead Dragon Rampant army, but I need some beasts (Dracolich, Undead Giants), perhaps my only purchases excluding old school fantasy and terrain, again no rules.

Empire remain unbased but undead are done and include a Zombie Skeletal Dragon

2) Darkest Africa, paint up enough so that I have one of each of the four main columns for Congo.

Done

3) Perhaps some Modern Z's or even some Sci Fi figures.

Modern Zs bought and painted up the Walking Dead starter set but still have a fair few to paint. I also re based them so they are now consistent

4) Plan and play a game of Otherworld skirmish and the overdue Strange Aeon.

Nope - 2 years and counting.

5) Post at least 12 updates on this blog in 2017

No

6) No new projects

Yes, so far

7) Continue rationalising and selling off my older stuff, including my rpg collection.

Yes and it continues.

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...

Zomtober Post 1

This is my first year of trying out for Zomtober and I am already late for the first post mainly due to being  out yesterday. The detail behind  zombtober can be found on  Pulpcitizen's post  HERE . (Also the source of the banner at the top.) but the  rules are simple. T o take part you just need to paint one Zombie or Survivor (or more!) each week, in any scale you like, posting it to your blog by the Sunday (we use Sunday's as the end of each Zomtober week). So that means one or more minis each week on or before the 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th of October 2015. My first subject is an old Citadel Zombie C18 Rustbone  square based although I am toying with  moving him to a circle base as most of my other  stuff is already on circles. That is why there is no flock. He is newly dead with a normal flesh tone and dripping blood, with a lot of his skin torn off free showing skeletal arms. Only took me...
