Hi all Last months update TMP link Well a busy month for me at work meant I didn't quite finish everything I wanted to but have made progress in the postitive column Bought 28mm -108 (Mainly Arabs for the Crusades project and some more WWII bits) Painted 6mm – 96 (More Mahdists) 28mm – 1 (terrain piece) Monthly = -11 Yearly = +92 Next week sees another show and Ive already pre-ordered so hopefully not too many other items to add. I have 50 28mm Arabs on the workbench so hopefully will get these finished in March along with the next batch of Mahdists Plan 1) Finish and base the Arabs 2) Continue the mahdist infantry 3) Only buy what I need for current projects MH :-) |

Get busy MH, I've 12 light & 12 heavy Arab cavalry finished and just finished assembling 40 Arab infantry ready to start painting. Soon we'll have enough to take on my Norman crusaders. |

Oh, I am so far ahead in February – NOTHING bought and 30 x 20mm WWII and 8 x 28mm Rugga Rugga. That means in total I am up 37 figures this year (and a LOT of scratch-built hedges). Woooo. |

I had a great month! Not only painting more of my 15mm forces for my shared D&D/wargames campaign world, but also starting to clear out the backlog of individual figures. And… NO PURCHASES! Started the month with: 409 Painted: 50 - Monster figures (25mm) – 2 - PC/NPC figures (25mm) – 5 - 15mm Orcs – 20 - 15mm Humans (Dark Ages/Medieval) – 23 Bought: 0 (WOOHOO!) Ended the month with: 359 Net for the year: +56 Plan for next month: 1. Complete my remaining 15mm Human forces 2. Continue on painting primed PCs/NPCs 3. Start on one of my Grenadier AD&D boxed sets that I have primed and ready to paint. 4. Work on some Hirst Arts terrain pieces (walls/doors) 5. DO NOT BUY! (Exception is the Ral Partha Chaos Wars Kickstarter Wave 2 starts in March, which I've committed to getting a couple of figures.) |

Didn't keep it going in February. Put all my time into casting. I did received a small order of QRF moderns from ScaleCreep (18x figs and vehicles), and 2x F18 kits from E-bay, so: Painted: 0 Received: 20 On the year: +136 |

Well this month was going well until some 40mm medevils came up on the TMP marketplace. I did get some painting in though and a good size batch of figures primed but with the dollar doing well to the pound I'll be ordering more figures for the Toy Soldier project. This month Bought – 51 Mind stalkers(41) Little Britons(10) Painted – 14 Irregular 40mm Greeks(14) YTD Bought – 68 Painted – 55 Net / -13 |

jwebster, Why do I get the feeling we might be hearing, "From now onwards NO NEW MINIATURES" about once per month?? No, I really am going to stick to it (note I am not including kickstarter miniatures paid for last year :) )
I really will stick …. link Oh no – a cool book/magazine with 2 free figures if I pre-order.
I hang my head in shame. 102 28mm figures purchased in February (kickstarter, pre-order, you know) 0 figures finished Did quite a lot of painting but nothing actually left the painting table ….. My latest tally for the year 2016 Goals NO BUYING NEW FIGURES (I need to keep writing it) -106 28mm: 100 15mm: 24/200 10mm: 100 Scenery: 12 items Good luck everyone John |

I did pretty good this month: Total number of figures purchased: 6 (two sets of Ral Partha 3-stage characters, in the original blisters, for LESS than their original 1989 retail price! God bless Ebay!) Total number of figures painted: 7 Two first-stage Ral partha figures One Citadel dwarf crossbowman Hero Four Citadel Skeletons The total for the year is thus: Figures purchased: 12 Figures painted: 9 Balance -3 Better than some, but not as good as I'd like… |

I painted 19 28mm humans, a horse, a troll, and a giant. I sold off 21 more figures. Didn't buy anything--or at least, it didn't arrive in February. This year, I've bought 58 figures and painted 34, so I'm behind, if you don't count the 157 figures I've sold off. With the sold off figures counted in, I'm making a noticeable dent in my lead mountain! Grelber |

Even with temperate weather and a crazed family life, I was making great headway into painting. Then I the house got hit with a stomach bug, and the tax return showed up early… THE PILE 540 (-2 from the beginning of the year) PAINTED: 39 – My tropical terrain is finished, some more pulp East African Great War, and the first Gnomes in a long while. BOUGHT: 423 – Three more Reaper Bones for the girls, and a Windsword order so my daughter has Egyptian stuff to paint. Then I noticed that Miniature Market was blowing out stuff and the girls now have a ton of undead Egyptian soldiers to practice painting on, and I have hordes of undead for the pulp game or lots of smaller troops for Of God and Mortals. Considering the retail value of the board and card games I ordered well exceeded the cost of the order, all the figures were technically free! +384 for the month (+382 for the year). 924 … the pile grows. |
