Hi all

Happy new year

Last years final reckoning is here to refresh anyone's memory

TMP link

Well as stated this year's pledge will be slightly different due to the arrival of our 1st child

Bought
28mm = 2 (Damn you Black Hat for those Laurel and Hardy figs :-))

Painted
28mm -3 (3 pirate character figs)

I also managed to build and complete a 1/48th Scale CR32 for my SCW project. All in all a productive month as I managed to find my painting Mojo and have prepped all my SCW morrocans and also finally made a start on a 28mm WWI project (been dormant for 2 years)

Tomorrow of course sees the 1st show of the year so may be tempted to buy more lead than I can safely ingest just because its there and shiny!!!!!

A bad start of the new year for me.

Let's see if februari is better.

Well I was sucked into the Black Tree Design sale so I bought a german platoon along with supports. Luckily I had a fair number of US infantry started and an easy uniform to do on some 40mm toy soldiers.

Bought – 49
Painted – 35

Well, January 2015 got away from me due to work…bt I did get some stuff done…

Painted this month: 10

Bought this month: 18

Painted:
10 Pulp Figures – Tri-Tac 28mm Alien Grays (28mm)

Bought:
1 Lemax Lighted Billboard
3 packs of Lemax Christmas Village Fencing.

5 Brigade Games Mexican Banditos
10 Brigade Games Mexican Federales
(for my Little Wars Pulp Game)
3 28mm Pulp "Ricks Place".


This brings me up to to total tally:

Painted YTD: +10
Bought YTD: -18

Total YTD: -8

Total Unpainted 25/28mm: 853 (I can't count the scenery in figure reduction totals) and my # is going back up and going to go up drastically as I have yet to use my Pulp Figures Gift Certificate AND I just found a bag of Dixon 28mm Figs that I need to add to the count….

Total Unpainted 15mm: Thousands

Plans for next month…"Iffy" due to working requirements, (1 week in California, along with other days in Ohio and Wisconsin…sigh…my weekends are being sucked up already..) but my plans are:

1: Paint my Banditos
2: Paint my Federales
3: Start playtesting my scenario

Ashurman02 Feb 2015 11:39 a.m. PST

Now, if I can only remember to keep this up…<grin>. A reasonably productive month to start the year…all 25/28mm…

Arrived:
3 Foundry Qurubuti Sha Pithallu (Assyrian EHC)
8 Foundry Quradu (Assyrian Guard Foot)

Painted:
32 Indian Foot (Old Glory & Essex)
10 Skythian LC (Old Glory)
12 Indian MC (Old Glory & Essex)
1 Essex Numidian Archer
6-60mm palisaded ditches

Refurbished (Everything from re-basing to new spears to partial repaints, depending on needs)
15 Numidian LI (Warlord)
12 Mixed Cataphracts (MiniFig)
9 Skythian LC (Minifig)

So, not counting the refurbishments or the ditches (which are scratch built), and counting cavalry as 2, a net of +11, -67=-56 from the old lead pile!

This month should see another 12 ditches, 12 refurbished Sarmatian horse, 14 Camels, and hopefully something else.

OK – so perhaps if I post on this thread it will keep me honest

My real problem is that I have lots of ideas and start to collect figures to fill those ideas. I am returning to wargaming after 30 years so have only been collecting figures for a year and the trend is not looking good. Lead mountain started and I don't want to talk about the plastic hillock

So this year I am going to focus on SAGA warbands and 10mm ancients – but there is a distinct possibility that I will change direction part of the way through the year :)

January Totals

Bought
28mm: 5 (mounted so counts as 10)

Painted
28mm: 4
10mm: 48

February (I know I am already in February) will not look good for the pledge as I am buying the next 10mm army and all the SAGA/Lion Rampant figures
