End of the third quarter. Last months post TMP link The Good I finally painted some figures, the Bad not as many as I would have liked. I was intrigued by Mark Copplestone's new range of toy soldiers and bought a few to see how they were. I liked them and have ordered more. This got me motivated to paint so good for that but means buying more figures. This month Bought – 31 (31 Mark's Little Soldiers 30mm) Painted – 19 (2 Warring States Chariot 28mm, 17 Mark's Little Soldiers 30mm) Month – -12 YTD bought – 65 painted – 192 net – +129 |

The Curse of Mycenae strikes again! I thought it would be fun to have Greek and Trojan armies for the Trojan War, so about 30 years ago, I bought several hundred lovely Bull Dancer figures for two WRG Ancients armies. Twenty or so years later, only half a dozen figures had been painted, so I sold off the armies, keeping only the few painted figures. Then Saga came out, and soon there was a Trojan Wars era variant so you could command one of the contingents from the Catalogue of Ships. I bought a Greek army and a Trojan army, each with 40 or 50 figures from Foundry, plus some samples from BTD and Redoubt. Unfortunately, very few of these have been painted, though. Then, this summer, I thought perhaps a skirmish game for the Trojan War era would be nice, so I set out ten figures to paint in September. Total painted for this month? One warrior and one goat. Purchased: 28 humans, and three horses, mostly Perry Brothers colonials. I'm just sure the Curse of Mycenae has struck again! Grelber P.S. Oh, yeah, there were also the two Reaper giant centipedes I bought and painted in September. |

Busy with lots of other things in September so although the Duchy of Warsaw artillery made it to the painting board, they're not done yet, and I haven't even started the lancers. Zero/Zero this month, still on +831. October I will get on with the Poles. November I'm likely to be starting a new job, so expect slow progress from then on. |

Another goose egg, sigh. Fortunately I bought a number of books but no figures so I have not lost ground. there's always October, hope springs eternal. |

Painting has been slow recently for me… From Jan to March I painted 20 figures. And then in March I painted 43 figures. And then I slacked off until May when I finished another 10. And then slacked off until this week. (But they are not done, so I cannot count those until the October count). Purchasing has been almost nil. I supported Reaper Bones VI KS, which won't start shipping till April 2024. I made a rather large Reaper purchase of 49 figures. So my current counts stands as: Painted (for 2022 so far): 73 Bought (for 2022 so far): 49 YTD: +24 As long as the ink is black…. |
