The year past and looking Forward.

So that's another year. (And 6 months or so since my last post) 

Updates have been good this year with a lot of targets made.

I've finished off my 10mm Germans for BKC. (Actually all painted and based)
My 10mm Arabs are done.
10mm Crusaders done to 1200 pts
10mm Undead, High Elves, Mongols based and mostly done. (alongside some Romans)

I rebased my 15mm Seven Year War French in Canada in line with Maurice. Hopefully I'll pick up the remainder at Vapnartak.

28mm Tuetonics finished and based for Impetus.
28mm Viking/Dark Ages enough finished and based for 2 Dux B forces.
Purchased and painted up a bunch of supplementary stuff, livestock, carts, Monks etc 
Painted up some Valhallans for the Steampunk game In Her Majesties Name.
Touched up and rebased a bundle of Amazons (About 40 Old Grenadier models so far) for IHMN in the Congo.
Rebased and touched up most of my old 25mm RPG figures. (about 20 figs)
Painted my Dork Tower Miniatures.
Painted a set of Talisman Miniatures for a friend.
Painted a group of Napoleonic British (Thanks Kev)

Lastly model wise I glued together my Terrablocks I got for Christmas. These are a 3d dungeon type landscape models from Sally 4th, pics soon, but one of the reasons I wanted to get some of my old RPG figs touched up and rebased. I guess my monsters will need to be done soon as well.

Looking forward, I'm not sure I'll be making a huge amount of model purchases this year, I need to start concentrating on storage :( so that I can get everything tidied up properly. This also means that I want to get some of the old stuff sorted out properly in time for the Bring and Buy at Claymore unless anyone wants to sell it for me at Carronade. (Time to be ruthless if I can muster the courage)

So most of my painting this year will be concentrated on finishing off armies and warbands that I already own.10mm a must finish for this year.

Biggest challenge coming up is going to be keeping the Dux B Campaign going smoothly as we're still not sure how it's going to pan out past the 1st round.

Also I need to sort out some rules for doing some Scifi skirmish gaming for a Star Trek style Computer Game we've started playing, some non Tabletop gamers in the group so I'm thinking I may stick to Spacehulk rules and see how it goes, my other main option I think would be the Dr Who miniatures game rules which would work quite well as well.
