Long Time Since An Update

Project Zulu was cancelled as the order never arrived and I got distracted with other projects and cancelled the order. Still tempted however

Looking at the positive

But since cancelling the project I did finish my 15mm PITs British Foot army and purchased the dervishes who are based and some even partially painted, should be able to knock these out once I get going

Other painting this year has included a couple of Parrom Station Miniatures Martians bought 3 years ago at Salute.

In total the first quarter was only 35 figures including;-

Perry Miniature Mahdi, pack donkeys and adventurers for Darkest Africa and a few Chinese for BOB.

Hopefully get some figures up soon.

I went to the Tunbridge show and bought a few pieces of terrain and have also purchased Too Much for the Mahdi plus osprey books on the Russians and Chinese

Looking at the negative

A quarter of the year gone by an I still have not fixed in my mind one single project that I want to throw cash and time into, the decision is between:-

Historical

WW1 Africa
Darkest Africa
Zulu Wars
Back of Beyond
25mm Sudan
WW2 Skirmish
War of Spanish Succession
ECW

Fantasy

Space 1889 style Martians
Victorian vampire wars
Near future/Zombie wars
Starship Troopers – although I unsuccessfully test painted on of these figures
New GW undead army

Going to Salute so will hopefully make my mind up then

New set of Mordheim Buildings

Last month I finished off my second set of GW Mordheim buildings. Both sets now complete, just need to get around to playing some games.   

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 WHFB, w
