Hope I'm not breaking some tradition by being the one to start this thread but…

(Last month's update: TMP link )

I had a great July!

I started the month with this many to complete: 337

I completed 76:
Wizard (Grenadier Specialists AD&D Small Figure set #2006)
8 – 15mm Goblins w/Weapons (Chariot #GOB5)
4- HOT61 Goblin Archer (15mm)
14 – 15mm Goblin Warriors (Splintered Light #ORC07)
2 – 15mm Trolls (Chariot #GOB10)
34 – 15mm Goblin Horde (15mm.co.uk #HOT4)
Bugbear w/axe (Grenadier AD&D Blister #102)
Doppelganger (Grenadier Dwellers Below set #2012)
Rock Lizard (TSR, AD&D Blister #5606)
Battletech 3rd Edition Box Set plastic minis:
Marauder MAD-3R
Battlemaster BLR-1G
Griffin GRF-1N
Wasp WSP-1A
Crusader CRD-3R
2 – Thunderbolt TDR-5S
Warhammer WHM-6R
Wolverine WVR-6R
Shadow Hawk SHD-2H

I Purchased/Added: 5
3 – 15mm Goblin Wolf Riders (Chariot #GOB3)
15mm Goblin Shaman (Splintered Light #ORC06)
15mm Mountain Ogre (Troll) (Splintered Light #ORC06)

I removed: 1
- I found one of my plastic Marauders is missing an entire arm, looks like it came from the mold like that. So it goes into the bits bucket.

I end the month with this many to complete: 265

So I reduced the pile by 72 minis!

August is looking good too, as long as I get some weekends in here and there.

Well here is the latest installment

Bought
6mm – 384 (Colonial Egyptians)

Monthly total = -202
Ready locker = 2757 (end of year target =1519 so only 1200+ to go

Plan for August -

I bought 62 men and 6 horses from Foundry (my big purchase for the year) and 8 men and 8 horses from Gripping Beast.

I painted umm, well, nothing at all. Not to make excuses, but we've had work being done to the house, involving accessing the attic through my room. They finish today, though!

I have sold off 36 men and 10 horses, so it hasn't been a total disaster.

@tanker11 – here you go: link -- the colors are accurate for my D&D campaign. I offer games in my campaign world at mass combat and 1:1 (D&D) level.

@MH – YOU CAN DO IT! Only 1200 to go! :)

I looked at my paint kit a couple of times. That's the extent of my July output. Bought some much needed dismounted ACW cavalry. About 50 in all.

A little too busy to paint much this month but I managed to finish two units of Sarmatian horse. Of course I needed more archers and foot troops so picked up some Old Glory Dacians to stay in the red.

YTD Purchased: 563
YTD Painted: 126

DOUGKL02 Aug 2015 5:41 p.m. PST

Painted a ACW regiment of 30 figures.
Bought 45 ACW figures, 2 supply wagons and 2 ambulances.

That leaves me ahead by 79 more figures painted than bought for the year.

Chgowiz02 Aug 2015 7:02 p.m. PST

I'm looking forward to, but dreading when the Ral Partha Chaos War Kickstarter delivers. It will be a wonderful day of elves and goblins and orcs… and adding over 200 25mm figures to the pile. That's why the big push NOW! :)

jwebster Supporting Member of TMP02 Aug 2015 8:38 p.m. PST

Had a good July

Painted (or finished from starting a while back)
- 96 10mm Ancients
- 4 28mm Samurai figures for Ronin
- 5 15mm Napoleonics (sample artillery base)

Bought 40 15mm

Proudest moment – went to fleamarket at convention – saw some cool stuff I might possibly use one, went back inside and didn't buy anything :)
