Hi all last months update TMP link Well another month gone by and the lead pile still exists ;-) Bought 28mm – 35 (Early War British – Bargain on EBAY) Painted 28 mm – 26 (20 Early War Germans and 6 Arab cavalry) Monthly = -9 Yearly = 345 Saturday sees the last show of the year and I've already pre-ordered more 28mm stuff so the plan is……… 1) Paint more 28mm Early war stuff 2) Sort out the painting locker for the new year MH :-) |

I guess I should make note of the way I count figures. A figure is a figure regardless of scale, horse and rider count as one figure, Large monsters count as one figure. With that in mind it was a good month. I bought 16 figures and painted a large nuber of farm animals which drove my painted count up and put me back in the black after 3 months in the red. Month Bought – 16 Painted – 53 YTD Bought – 185 Painted – 202 Net – +17 Christmas will bring some more miniatures into the pile and a kickstarter should come in before the end of the year so I'll have to stay on top of the painting to finish in the black. I don't need more chickens. |

Started with 181 in the pile. Bought 3 – 25mm Bolt Throwers (Alternative Armies) Painted: 31 3 – 25mm Bolt Throwers (Alternative Armies) 3 – Orc leaders, shaman (Ral Partha) 6 – Goblin Wolf Cavalry (Ral Partha) 12 – Goblin Shock Troops (Ral Partha) 1 – Goblin leader (Ral Partha) 2 – Air Elementals (Ral Partha) 1 – Fire Elemental (Ral Partha) 3 – Elf Swordsmen (Ral Partha) Secret Santa gift 10 – Donated various Ral Partha, Grenadier, GW figures Ended the month at 143 in the pile. For the year, I'm up by 272. Had a great November, but the streak of no-buying-minis is over. 9 months is a long time to go without purchasing, but I have GaryCon and Little Wars coming and needed bolt throwers. This coming month, I'll be getting my Kickstarter rewards from Ral Partha, and a Secret Santa gift so the mountain will rebuild a bit… *gulp* |

@FusilierDan – Farm animals? Chickens? I'd love to see the game you're playing with that menagerie! :) |

Nothing purchased but nothing painted this month. I almost started a new project last Friday but managed to regain control and fought off the urge. |

I painted two men and a horse (haven't finished the rider, though). The one redeeming feature is that I didn't actually buy anything this month. I do have figures on order, but they won't arrive until tomorrow, at the earliest, so they'll count as December items. Grelber |

Haven't done this before so don't have a monthly total. But this month has been great for painting. I bought nothing and have painted over 200 figures.so my totals for the year Bought/gifts=1396 Painted =1273 net=-123 Hope to continue reducing pile before my Christmas presents(from wife) add to the pile. |

I can't believe people know how large the pile is. 2000+, all flavors. Probably more. Best not to count it all. Anyhow, start: +177 Bought: 33 figures worth of FOW WWI toys Sold: 79 figures worth of FOW and Heresy toys Painted: 21 Zombiesmith Mice 3 platoons of WWI FOW German infantry End: +271 The lead pile does grow smaller this year. |

I can't believe people know how large the pile is. 2000+, all flavors. Probably more. Best not to count it all. Mine is huge, I gave up trying to count it. I just work year to year which is bad enough…… |

Best not to count it all My philosophy exactly, and my lead pile is a similar size I think. The big news this month, DIDN'T BUY ANYTHING !!! That is a major achievement for me … Finished 4 28mm 50 10mm 2 scenery pieces December should finish more stuff 2016 Totals 28mm: 28/100 15mm: 117/200 10mm: 50/100 Bought: 407/0 Scenery Pieces: 2/12 Happy holidays and happy painting :) John |
