Projects in progress

What with otherworld miniatures (http://www.otherworld.me.uk/store.html) having a 20% off sale and my eclectic painting table I thought I would pin down exactly what my projects/targets are for 2011.

Projects I want to complete but I have no idea what I will do with them once I have a significant number of figures painted

Otherworld/D&D painting is a childhood project which now my painting standard has improved I feel capable of making some steps with. No idea what I will do with the figures once they are painted though. Just know I am buying them faster than I am painting. I will add to this my collection of Dark Sun figures which I would like to paint some time.

Modern zombie apocalypse, been working on this with the odd Z for numerous year, now there are loads of rule sets and figures available I should really finish off the 44 I have, giving me around 100 z’s,  my biker gang and a few others.

Mordheim, sort of ties in with D&D, need to finish a warband or 3, Undead, Middenheimer and Marienburgher and maybe even skaven, and orc with the figures I have lying around

Call of Cthulhu, again a number of figures already finished  and around 25 plus a Lioger to paint. There are some interesting looking rules sets out there, but not certain I really need any. Need to target exactly what I want to do once I finish the ones I have. One thing I am certainly missing is some robbed cultists.

My set of GW 40k adventurers, probably no more than 20 figures, just I would like to get them painted. Again no practical gaming use.

Gothic  Horror, similar to above with a number of figures already painted but based in the 1890’s rather than 1920’s. I have a batch to paint before I would need to decide exactly what I am going to do with them.

Part completed projects which are currently on the back burner:-

Sudan, just 12 mounted Dervish to do to complete a rather sizable force. Also waiting for the Perry plastic Dervish before adding more, then maybe some Egyptians.

WW2 skirmish, low level in 28mm, British completed. Bolt Action plastic Germans to build and paint but other guys I know are faster painters and have already started their Germans. So I can afford to hold off on this for a while

ACW 25mm skirmish using Two fat Lardies terrible sharp sword, 20 miniatures painted but stalled. Probably need 24 cavalry and further 40 foot, and may be a c\non or two to finish this one off.

Back of Beyond Chinese, around 40 figures done but no enthusiasm for more at the moment

Warhammer or HOTS undead and Empire armies

Ended(?) Projects:-

6mm WSS, 2 forces finished, French and British but no one dice thrown in anger.

15mm Sudan, no idea why I started this but base figures done for Peter Pigs Patrols in the Sudan
Saxons, painted up 20 Saxons for a skirmish game, have some Gripping Beast Saxons to stick together and paint but will hold off on this for a while

Projects not started

WW1, early war or even late war with trenches, most interested in this period reading wise but only have 2 figures so far.

VBCW, just looks interesting and great fun, maybe my 2012 project.

Ancients, Roman vs British, ECW and ACW however, doubt I’ll ever start these.

Zulu wars, curses to Empress Miniatures and their plans for plastic Zulus.

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...
