Each year I make a plan for my (primarily) miniature painting activities. The year 2023 was the year of "The Big Move" and my plan for 2024, well, fizzled. Not that I'm complaining. Hey, when 4 grandchildren arrive in less than 2 years it's time to celebrate! I'll pause on my hobby activities to spend time with those bundles of joy. I now consider myself a professional grandfather.
With an abbreviated plan I got off to a great start in the 1st Quarter:
1. Take some pictures of my newly painted 28mm Ghurkas for the Northwest Frontier from Perry Miniatures and post them. DONE!
The 1st Battalion, 3rd Ghurka Rifles are ready to leave the depot. Figures by Perry Miniatures.
In addition, I need to take some pictures of "Team Chase" (okay, it's Jonny Quest) from Pulp Miniatures for an exciting, adventure filled post! DONE!
2. Finish painting the Ogre miniatures for Honorable Son #4 (The Flying Engineer). DONE!
3. Paint a Sikh unit and British mountain gun for the Northwest Frontier. If I have more time also a British Infantry unit and another group of Pashtun tribesmen. Not yet but still coming.
Test figure for my generic Sikh unit. If there's a piper, I'll paint it. The unit will also be from Perry Miniatures for the game The Men Who Would be Kings.
4. Finish my "German" Division for the French Army for the Peninsular War. I'm currently not on planning any artillery. Not yet but still coming.
Confederation of the Rhine Battalion Number 3 (Frankfurt), converted Dutch Infantry from WoFun Miniatures.
5. "The Search for Charlie". Okay, it's time to get this campaign started and find out what really happened to Charlie - and Sam is pissed. Coming soon!
Sam has the Nazi goons right were he wants them.
New Goals:
6. In addition I have decided to paint a new unit of an army I have never done before. Time to pick one out.
7. I'm also going to work on my forces for Xenos Rampant.
8. Why not; time to do some more armies for One Hour Wargames.

We also got a game in against Mr. Babbage on the Northwest Frontier!
This all seems very promising Neil - not so interested in 40K but the rest is first class, so can't complain too much about a slight divergence in interests at one point! Congratulations on all the grand children too - I suspect ours are quite a few years away yet!
ReplyDeleteAs always thanks! The Sci Fi figures will be for Xenos Rampant not 40K. Thanks again.
DeleteOh never mind! Yep Fireteam is a 40K board game.
