Catalog my figures by genre/manufacturer/product code. Ha Ha..

28mm Chinese, a few left to do, probably another 16 or so crossbowmen and some cavalry.

10mm ECW. I want to get rolling on some more of this. I have a good amount already but I need more cavalry.

My only big new project, or relatively new will be 28mm Eastern Renaissance armies, so Poles and Turks mostly, but I'll probably do the poles and swedes first so that I can incorporate the swedes into the polish army as germans with a quick flag change.

Also Elric skirmish in 28mm but that is just about finished.

Oh, yeah, Eldar harlequins when they are released.

Finish:
6mm ACW armies for Chickamauga
6mm Napoleonics for Grand Armee

Paint up somemore 1/1200 WWI ships and 1/300 aircraft for, Italian, USN, British and Japanese.

New Projects:

(long campaign) or a fictional Japanese attack on the Panama Canal(short campaign)

Begin Seven Years War in 6mm

Begin planning Modern micro armor to go with the new rule set "Cold War Commander"

Terry

Projects to finish:
10mm undead army – finish painting and sell
10mm Indian Army – ditto
10mm chaos army – ditto (I decided 10mm isn't for me)
25mm Morrow Project modern military – finish painting a set
25mm Martian Metals fantasy – finish painting and sell
28mm sci-fi terrain – finish
28mm fantasy terrain – finish
FT scale spaceship fleets to finish

new projects:
1/100 scale aeronef model
1/1200 Aeronef and Land Ironclads scratchbuilds
15mm fantasy dungeon project
15mm Victorian Science Fiction
28mm "game in a box" based loosely on DOOM/FRAG
28mm sci-fi modular space hulk terrain modules
28mm sci-fi modular space hulk terrain connecting corridors

and piles of other stuff that I can't think of right now. I doubt I will get done with any of it!

I've had a gutful of painting miniatures in 2006 so for me 2007 will be mostly terrain making. I want to make some better modular boards for my 25mm NWF Colonials and buildings which aren't just the Major General's style generic Eastern buildings but in a more accurate Afghan style. I'd like to model a stepped garden and menagerie for the Amir too (lucky him).

Then there'll be 15mm Eastern Front urban terrain for FoW and Crossfire.

I still have a few minis to finish off – some Battlefront Germans and I always seem to have a few more Pathans knocking around. But I'd like to spend more of 2007 gaming than modelling to be honest!

Build up fantasy forces in general, starting with Empire and Orcises, then probably dwarves and Undead.

I think I will do concentrations by quarters, so Jan. through March will be Empire and Orcs/Goblins.

Finish 6mm 1940 Battle of France project
Do a Peace River MP squad for Heavy Gear

Based on how 2006 went, that's an ambitious schedule. :(

Trying 15mm FOW paratroopers.(First batch of fantasy 15mm came out really bad, hopefully I learned from them.)

Large Orc and Goblin army
Large Dwarf army

About 30 Hordes figures
Lots of Lord of the Rings GW minis that need to see some paint soon.

Way to much to paint and not enough time.

Finish my inn, in progress since 2? 3? years ago.

Paint up the Sisters of Sigmar warband I got for Christmas, which Michael has kindly assembled for me.

Paint a bunch of zombies. We seem to be sadly lacking zombies.

Cast a boat load of Hirst bricks, just in case…

Paint a bunch (70) or so zombies.
Paint up 20mm Falklands figures (platoon each of Royal Marines and Argie conscripts).
Lots of 20mm War on Terror figs.
Finish 28mm Viking raiding party.
And as usual anything and everything WWII.

Finish up some Mordheim warbands and terrain.
Finish up my 15mm Napoleonic armies. Just a little touchup and then I need to base about 2000 of them…

That's it. I want to keep my objectives obtainable!

1. Finish my 15mm AK-47 armies
2. 36 28mm EIR cavalry
3. Warmachine mercenary and Cryx infantry
4. The last 4 figures of my 25mm Old West 3d US Cavalry
5. 1/2400 WWII Royal Australian Navy
6. 6mm Post-WWII British infantry company
7. 10mm WWII North Africa 8th Army and DAK
8. Half a dozen ships to finish a Full Thrust fleet

I'd better stop there before I depress myself with how much I have NOT finished in the last year!

Umm…that wasn't my post at all. The bug strikes again?

Erik

Finish the 28mm ECW armies.
Finish the 28mm SYW Prussians and Austrians for Might and Reason.
Finish the FOW Soviets, Germans (North Africa) and British (North Africa).
Begin a 10mm or 6mm (Baccus perhaps) army for Warmaster Ancients.
Put some real effort into terrain, gaming boards, and scenics (something I've neglected far too long).
Determine what ACW rules I'm going to use and then get the Union and Rebel armies in 28mm finsihed.
Expand the World War One French in 28mm I've started collecting.
Perhaps get additional Black Templars and finish my Knights Hospitalers. Consider expanding my Dwarves with the new GW figs and Consider adding some new Empire.

That should do it for 2007. Lots more for 2008!

Erik

BigE4NFL -- Looks like we should pool our efforts :)

That's the first time I've seen the bug eat someone's post in the same thread!

28mm TAG Moderns
15mm FoW Russians and Germans
28mm Colonials (FFL & Arabs)
28mm Pulp
40mm Nappies (Good luck with this one!!)
28mm WW2
all are in various stages of neglect right now.

1. Finish my Skaven (HA!)
2. Start my Tomb Kings
3. Start 6mm Napoleonics
4. Add on to my Space Wolves
5. Finish my Thousand Sons

Bruce the Grumbling Dice Monkey

Continued progress on 1/6000 WW2 fleets
Finish the last few countries on my 1/6000 WW1 fleets
Add HM Chinese and some Italians in 15mm Boxer Rebellion
Add Japanese dismounted cav for Boxer rebellion in 15mm
Continued progress on 1/2400 ACW naval
Add 4-5 FOW US mid-war units
15mm Terrain – make lots of hills
15mm Terrain (MAYBE) – 4 2' x 4' desert boards

1. Paint up a bunch of old Citadel & Marauder Dwarves & Dark Elves (as Drow) & base for either HoTT or 28mm Warmaster
2. Paint remaining15mm Khmer & Burmese troops
3. Finish an all female freelance company for Reaper's Warlord
4. If I start anything new, it will either be to find suitable figures for 28mm 3 Kingdom Korean era so I can game Emperor of the Sea or 6mm Khmer & Burmese for Warmaster since no one makes 10mm Khmer or Burmese.

Painting up some armies/units for my "Warrior" friends, but they are top secret. If I tell you, I will have to kill you.

For me, not so secret, are an expansion of my 25/28mm AWI armies, so I can do Germantown and Brandywine at 1:20. Surprisingly, I do not have all that much to do. When you tootle along steadily painting up units, and not paying all that much attention to the OOB, it's surprising how units accumulate. Just a few regiments and battalions to go.

Other projects are:
1920 Irish.
A vague wish to expand my chariot armies into the Battle of Qarqar.
GASLIGHT VSF contingent of the Fenian Irish Republic, to meddle in my 1885 US Canada War.
Buffalo Soldiers, for the same war.

Continue reinforcing my WW1 collection with Brigade Games figures.

Continue with my WW2 using BAM and FOA. Mainly Sovites, Finns and hopefully Italian Paras and Poles.

Thats all :-)

Finish up my El Cid armies with the following…

El Cid Andalusians
El Cid Siege Equipment and walls

And in 2007 it's back to the French & Indian War and my ECW Scots Royalists.

That's this week's plan.

Finish (heh!) and expand Skaven army

Acquire and paint 3000 points of Orcs and Goblins

3 Reaper Warlord armies

Paint minis and terrain for at least a few WWII Eastern Front scenarios

Paint pirates and others for Pirate Tavern Brawl using the Blood and Swash rules, as well as building the actual tavern

Most Current Projects to Finish
1. 28mm Moderns
2. 28mm Warlord/Communist/Bandit Chinese
3. 28mm Pulp/WWII Japanese
4. 28mm Pulp/WWI Germans
5. 28mm Various Pulp figures
6. 15mm FOW Soviets
7. 15mm FOW Britsh 8th Army
8. Warhammer Beasts of Chaos, Vampire Counts, Empire
9. 40k Shrikes Wing space marine Conversion

New Projects

Maybe a couple more

My first big project is to rework a set of knock off Fire and Fury mechanics for AWI at 1:10, and finish the forces for Cowpens and Weitzel's Mill. That means lots of purchasing, painting and re-mounting. But it should look cool. Need to have it done no later than Memorial Day for Enfilade.

I'll keep on keeping on with my Space 1889 project.

I also want to expand my Hundred Years War projects, and increase the size of my War of 1812 armies.

Kevin

Wow – you people have projects galore! I have one goal this year:

Move to the new house and get the new game room set up, the table built, the armies reorganized, the painting station and airbrush station set up, and the painting and modeling projects organized by genre. It should take all year to get it done. I've had stuff in storage now for nearly a year – it will be like Christmas when it is time to move in!

"I didn't know I had that!" will resound off the mountain tops! Perhaps a "Work Bench" article will ensue from this endeavor.

Only one new project for 2007 and that is some big battalion 6mm horse & musket era project I have been thinking about.

More Night goblins
Gibbins monkeys
The throne of bone ( old Partha piece I found a missing piece so I can build it)

Hydrissians

15mm Naps, finish France, Spain and Britain. Start 1809 Austrians, Bavarians and Wurtemburg

Hey Chonk34, I see you are in the same boat I'm in with Skaven. Sometimes I wonder why I don't just spray paint them brown and be done with them. Good grief I'm so sick of brown fur. I have upwards of 120-130 clanrats and 100 slaverats with roughly about a third of them done. this doesn't include my specials and rares.
Some of you are thinking "why so much?" I'm playing a horde army and it is not good to be outnumbered when playing a horde army. :-]

Bruce the Grumbling Dice Monkey

finish my 15mm Napoleonic Austrians

Oh, and maybe buy and paint some 25/28mm terrain suitable for my Napoleonics.

@Treadhead3006,
I've been working on my Skaven since January, and I've only got a couple more minis (a Jezzail team and a Warp-Lightning Cannon) left to paint to finish my 2000-point army. But I'm already planning an addition to bring the army to 2250 (a Dogs of War Giant and a unit of Slaves) and then another 750 points to bring it to 3000. I got sick of painting rats several times this year and had to switch over to pirates or Battle Sisters for a few weeks.

Projects to many to even start -- but I'll give it a shot:

1. Finish TheWarstore Man's FOW US Army
2. Finish my Hordes Trolls and Circle
3. Finish my Cygnar army
4. Start my Wild West Figures
5. Start my Indians for French and Indian war
6. Work on the painters for TheWarStore
7. Work on my terrain for French and Indian War
8. Start painting/modelling classes for TheWarStore
9. Help out at Cold Wars, Historicon and Fall-In in paint and take
10. Work on some new convention games with The WarStoreMan
11. Paint my gnomes from Lon at Brigade Games

This is just the start and I am sure the list will keep growing!!!!

1. Finish my WFB Dogs of War to 1,500 pts plus options.
(hopefully before GW obsoletes them this summer)
2. Get 1,000 pts (under WAB) of OG Rus painted.
3. Finish my FoW North Africa Brits.
5. Finish two Rezolution crews to 500 points (doesn't matter which two…)
6. Ditto for Dark Age.
7. Ditto for Warmachine.
8. Terrain for all of the above; at least a signature piece or two.
9. Rescue the other rooms in the house from the "lead creep".

Paint some of te stuff I've bought.

Ought to keep me busy for 2007 – 2017

Game for Salute, and that is enough for now, believe me.

Add to my Undead AoA army (goal of 10k points)
Complete my WAB Greek army (I have 1 unit of 24 hoplites I did over the holidays)
If I finish the Greeks soon I want to start a Persian army for them to fight.
15mm Soviet WWII (and maybe Germans so I have a built in opponent army)

Between mini cost and painting time that will likely do me in, although I have some other stuff I want to get into (1/300 WWI aircraft and WWI naval in 1/3000)

This year I'm going for it! Building the Bavarian army using 10mm Old Glory with 100 man (20 stand) units as it entered Russia. Figs on the way (pant.. pant…) spent the morning downloading flags from Napflags. Can anyone recommend a good paper to use?

Assuming I can finish this one…
finish my goblin horde in 15mm using demonworld/blooddawn.

My projects for this year:

--paint up all those awesome Copplestone 'Future Wars' minis I've had laying around (actually, I've already gotten a start on this one.)

--finally get those fantasy rules i've been kicking around for the past three years written down.

--paint up some fantasy ARMIES to go with my rules.

--FINALLY find a historical genre that flips my switch and get a start on an army for that :)
