The other was a figure order for 2 6mm starter armies from Heroics and Ros.{ Click this link )
needles to say as starter armies there are lots of extras I can (and no doubt will) get to add. And If I can pick them up unpainted 2nd hand from eBay or Colonel Bills I will, that is for sure (assuming I can save money).
I am also working on some counters for the game I have planned but until they are finished I will not be showing them. When they are finished I will be doing a quick walk through of the making process. But at this stage there is little that will make any sense on its own.
Ao pretty much a nothing post today as I clean up the H+R order. That is how the painting challenge starts for me as I have "Mostly" cleared my painting desk ready to start. There are a couple of things still loitering though so I may get on with them in the next couple of days, but I am waiting now for the Analogue painting challenge to start.
All the best from warm (I am in a tee shirt) but overcast Kent. Cheers Clint
Blast, I knew I'd forgotten something - tufts!
ReplyDeleteThank you Michael. I know I will have forgotten something, but at this point no idea what!
DeleteYes the mighty prep, I have also been doing plenty of this though I like you have a number of bits finishing that I probably would not touch once the Challenge has started if I don't finish them before the clock stars a ticking

Thank you Ian. I have mixed feelings about finishing some things. I think I may keep a couple of started things ready to finish during the challenge but not submit them to the challenge as I do not want to rush them. I also have things on my painting table that are just collecting dust.
DeleteI sense the calm before hte storm but they say prearation is everything.
ReplyDeleteThank you Joe. It feels more like the calm before the Calm! Not as enthusiastic this year.
DeleteSounds like you may need some 15mm Malburians??
ReplyDeleteThank you Ray, I did email you regarding the Malburians. If you cannot find the email let me know.
DeletePrep and more prep is definitely the order of the day, Clint. Really looking forward to seeing your stuff :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Blax. I am sure much of my stuff will be a disappointment as no one can enjoy every period and every scale.
DeleteThe seven P's eh, Clint!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bob. I am actually prepared for a "P*ss poor performance" this year.
DeleteAt your age you need a lot of prep time:P
ReplyDeleteThanks Fran LOL. I also need stronger meds and a rest afterwards. Feeling good though as last night while rummaging for old figures (actually for the Gambler/risk taker bonus round) I did find a unit and a half unpainted for the 6mm stuff. So a Bonus as far as I am concerned and I have no recollection of purchasing them.
DeleteAm in the same boat still for prep here.. almost everything is assembled at the moment, but I am finding that I am a bit short for the points I planned for.. need to keep assembling.. thankfully there is quite the backlog queue sitting around :D
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your work and how you progress over the next 3 months!
Thank you Kyle. I have three kits to make up. However as I want to paint the interiors I cannot really get started on them just yet.
DeleteAs for whether I will reach my target. I hope so but no guarantees, but a lot easier if you go for the bonus points!
Preperation is always a good thing.By the way I like your blog.Keep posting more reports.I will be following you! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Ptr. I can only say a few words of Swedish and Nothing appropriate to a wargamer! I appreciate your kind words. However I will slow my blogging down a little in the run up to the painting challenge and also during the challenge.
