Was thinking about this today. Of your gaming projects how many/what percentage are:

1) Done. I can game anything I want. That doesn't mean I won't continue adding to it, however.
2) Partial. I can do significant gaming with it as is, but not the battle I want (yet).
3) WIP: I can't game with this yet (well maybe one odd skirmish or whatever, but not really) but I'm actively working on it.
4) Ghosting: Can't game it, and not working on it.

Here's my list:

DONE


  • Age of Sail
  • 15mm SciFi/Post Apoc
  • 15mm Flames of War
  • 15mm Plains Indians/Old West
  • 15mm ACW
  • 6mm ACW
  • 28mm Lord of the Rings
  • 28mm Roman Zombies
  • World War 1 Naval (1/6000)
  • Renaissance Galleys

PARTIAL

  • 6mm Seven Years War (Need to finish basing)
  • 15mm Moderns (Need vehicles)
  • 15mm Napoleonics (British, French, Spanish, Prussians, Austrians – lots of rebasing to do eventually)
  • 6mm Grand Napoleonics (Working up to Leipzig)
  • 6mm SciFi (need more non-human armies)
  • 15mm Vietnam (need soft skins, terrain)
  • ACW Ironclads
  • 6mm Flames of War (Need Brits)

WIP

  • 15mm Vikings & Saxons (at painters)
  • 6mm Napoleonics (really big units)

GHOSTS
  • None

John the OFM28 Apr 2015 8:30 p.m. PST

DONE
Flames of War British 8th Army
American
Soviet
American Revolution
(Note that I am using EC's exact definition)

Partial
none, really

WIP
Jacobites

It's pretty obvious from the last time something like this ran that I have abandoned and sold a lot of projects.

ABANDONED: (but not sold off yet)
1:72 Great War Aeroplanes
Landsknechts

I am happy with the above, since I am a realist right now in that I will never get to some of these.

Ok, I don't know what I was smoking earlier but it should have read:

Partial: most of them.

WIP: the rest of them.

Gotta tell the kids to stoo swapping their weed for mine…

Charlie 1228 Apr 2015 10:16 p.m. PST

Partial: Too many…

Done: Too few…

Martin Rapier28 Apr 2015 11:14 p.m. PST

Based on the definition in the OP, nearly all of mine are done. A couple have become partial as I want to use the same things for something different,and a couple are abandoned but nit yet sold. I have one new project stuff is being acquired for.

Grimmnar28 Apr 2015 11:53 p.m. PST

Zero/possibly 1/too many to list

Grimm

KTravlos29 Apr 2015 2:32 a.m. PST

Done

1) Russian Force for Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878 (Black Powder, Bloody Big Battle, Neil Thomas 19th century Rules) (might add some Dragoons but no hurry)

2) Napoleonic Naval Force 1/2000 12 units. (might add more frigates, but no hurry)

3) 4 point Anglo-Saxon warband for SAGA. Also painted a 4 pts Viking Warband for a friend. (may add 2 more points but no hurry)

Partial

1) Pre-Dreadnoughts : Russian Fleet for Yellow Sea done for capital ships, still need to collect LC. Greek Balkan War fleet lacks the Averoff for capital ships to be done. Ottoman Balkan Wars fleet lacks older pre-dreads.

2) Warhammer 1000: 6 of 8 armies done. Need to do High Elves and Skaven. (Once done it is done, never to be added too again)

3) DBA Project: 5 of 6 armies done(once done it is done, with a slight possibility of making a Sassanid early Byzantine pair)

WIP

1) Gaines Mill for Altar of Freedom: Union forces partly painted. Still need to finish them and collect Confederates.

2) Gift army: Painting 10mm Hail Ceasar/ Warmaster Late Midieval/ Dogs of War army for a friend as a gift.

The only Ghosting I have is 6mm Napoleonics, scattered over two continents. I need to collect them finish them and maybe use them with Black Powder.

Salibaba29 Apr 2015 4:56 a.m. PST

Reading this post made me sad because I got to thinking; I've been collecting miniatures for almost 30 years, and I cannot list a single project in the "done" column!!!!!

I do have decent sized armies for WHFB, Mordheim, French & Indian War, War of the Roses, Flames of War, and Epic 40K. But even in those projects, I've got much more unpainted models than painted ones.

Even worse is the number of projects I have "ghosting" (Norman/Saxons/Vikings, Samurai, Imperial Rome vs Celts, 15mm Ancient Greece, Rackham Confrontation, WW2, GW Lord of the Rings, 2 Reaper Bones Kickstarters, English Civil War….)

This is terrible!

Got to finish something….

Royal Air Force29 Apr 2015 5:01 a.m. PST

Done:

25mm NW Frontier (Ral Partha sculpts)
1/2400 Pre-Dreadnought (British)
1/2400 WW2
15mm Classical Indians
15mm Macedonians
28mm Walachians

Partial/WIP
40k Imperial Guard
Dystopian Wars Naval & Land – multiple nations
1/300 Modern Air
1/300 Air Battle of France & Late War Europe

Lots of others sitting as unprimed bagged lead

Ghosting
Never met a period or army I didn't like (except the black hole of wargaming – Napoleonics)

I really need to quit my job and take up my hobby full time, along with getting rid of the family, stopping being a scout leader, reenactor, etc)

I don't consider anything to be done;everything is a work in progress. That is one reason I am seriously thinking about collecting some DBA type armies -- so I can get some armies done.

Pictors Studio29 Apr 2015 9:16 p.m. PST

I forgot my ECW stuff, both 10mm and 28mm in the partial category, although I have enough of both to run a battle with both sides.
