It, um, looks like I'm going to have to update the Figures page on here sometime soon, or actually get stuck in to Sekrit Project W again. Suffice it to say the painted pile's gone up by Early Saxon and Christian Spanish WAB armies, as well as my Imaginations army (which I need to dig out again!)...
The unpainted and project piles, and the plans, on the other hand... let's see. This is turning into a 2013 resolutions list!
- First and most important (the rest are in no particular order)
- Finish tidying the workshop so I can:
- work in there without moving stuff, and maybe try and do an hour's painting most evenings
- put some HEAT on in there without burning it down!
- Fix any/all broken spears etc.
- Finish basing the El Cid army, photograph for blog
- Varnish everything that I was in too much of a hurry to varnish (mostly the El Cid and the Saxon Duguth)
- Sort out some better transport options (to prevent MORE broken spears)
- steel paper-lining the Really Useful Boxes
- magnets on the bottom of movement trays
- 15mm WW2/IABSM - ohhhboy: what have I let myself in for here?
- US (urgent-ish for our next IABSM sessions at the club)
- paint up the Battlefront US Rifle company + supports I have sitting in a box here
- German
- paint up the WF plastic Germans I have
- ditto the PSC PzIV's
- paint all the unpainted stuff (lots of Fallschirmjäger, some Heer support + a PanzerGrenadier platoon) I'm getting from Dale on Nov 5th
- "Blenneville or Bust"
- start assembling the shopping list (on the good side, the FJ I'm getting from Dale are enough for THAT force!)
- whimper a lot...
- scenery
- make some bocage from the bits and bobs I bought the other week
- Dux Britanniarum
- assemble (as soon as I get sight of the new supplement) an Irish army from bits of my British Tribes one, figure out if I need figures for characters
- clean/tidy the Warbases sabots I'm using, possibly buy more :D
- WAB Greeks
- decide which AoA2 list I'm using for the WABGT
- paint up the Victrix Athenians, Warlord Spartans, Immortal and WF Greeks I already have
- buy more bronze paint, probably!
- decide what else I need, abuse WF Numidians and/or buy Warlord metals to suit!
- WAB/AoA Saxons - mostly this involves rationalising my current Age of Arthur/Dux Brit army and making a separate Later Saxon army to take on my Christian Spanish/Normans:
- replace Ancient British (currently passing as) Geoguth with Musketeer/GB metals
- replace Gedriht with Musketeer/GB metals
- pick up another dozen or so Duguth so I can use the Wargames Factory Fyrd that are currently masquerading as Duguth as Later Saxon
- promote current Gedriht (GB plastic) to Later Saxon Huscarl/Thegns, assemble some of the Wargames Factory I have to add to them, buy more of the GB plastics
- I probably should replace the White Ravens (my Duguth cavalry) but I have a certain sentimental attachment to them :D
- WAB Parthians
- figure out an army list!
- assemble and paint the two boxes of Wargames Factory Persians I have as light cavalry, buy at least two more
- find some good cataphracts (Warlord are rumoured to be working on some, otherwise A&A)
- abuse and convert some WF Numidians for needed foot if any
- Napoleon at War French
- Chasseurs à Cheval (undercoated, but need the riders re-sprayed in Army Painter Angel Green)
- Old Guard (sitting in their box)
- Foot Artillery (sitting in their box)
- Line Infantry (currently marked as 'packing' by Maelstrom)
- ECW
- Revarnish since the great misty varnish disaster of 2010.
- Maybe pick up the Warlords box with the Pike and Shotte rules and more foot/horse. There is though a part of me that says 'there are ENOUGH figures at the club anyway!'
- Sedition Wars: Battle for Alabaster
- Well, $%^&*(. Hands up who remembered I have a Kickstarter purchase coming in!??!?!
And on top of that lot? blog lots, design some IABSM scenarios (I have plans *evil cackle* ... oh, such PLANS, I tell you!) and actually play some games. Fortunately, blogging happens in my lunch breaks.
Of course, if my wife sees this list, I am dead :D
Good Lord! And I thought I was busy.... :-))
ReplyDeleteBlimey!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLordy, Mike. Now THAT'S a long list! Good luck on getting it finished!
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you have been poorly - lots of it about!! Just make sure that you don't share it around ;-)
ReplyDeleteLooking at your list makes me realise just how big mine would be if I dared to write it all down... Wisely, I have decided not to bother!! :-)
