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. |

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 |

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…… |

bought 24 SYW French command figures Painted
