keeping up with the status of my projects

[petercooman]

Next suggestion for your snow terrain: 10mm Pendraken, Wars of the Roses, the Battle Towton.

It crossed my mind too, but i the setup i have is more geared around skirmish (playing field is 150cm on 1m)

Frostgrave is very Fantasy - it's centred around wizards.

If you want something small scale fantasy look at song of blades and heroes.

Something a bit more medium sized then Saga is a possibility.

So, read up on the SOBH rules while on vacation, and seems i may have to put a new task in my progress list:

Pulling all special rules out of all the source books into one Document, as i can imagine looking all th stuff up in a battle can be very time consuming 

There is just so much to remember otherwise, and my experience with deadzone games (wich uses a similar condensed profile with a few stats and multiple special rule keywords distributed over several books), shows that a central reference sheet speeds up play 300%!

[petercooman]

So i decided to make a diary, in order to have an overview of my projects, and maybe see how much painting i get done 

Here's the list of things to do, and things to put on hold!

1: 10mm acw forces: yanks completely finished, rebels 8 bases to go!

2: dropzone commander/pendraken zombie crossover game:  dropships and apc's finished, infantry/zombies yet to start

3: 2mm napoleonics: basecoated and british infantry finished

4: useme WWII skirmish: british airborne finished, german infantry finished 2 nights ago, SS still to start, British army basecoated

5: deadzone: enforcers and plague finished, rebels and marauders still to do. Terrain finsihed

6: snow terrain: have a white fleece with 60+ snow covered trees, have been pondering what to buy to play on these. Winter war seems good, any    suggestions welcome!

7: epic 40k forces: on hold because no one to play with, so not bothering with painting them for now

8: micro wings: Bunch of planes finished, 5-6 kits still unopened 

9: salem church mini counter game, have it almost a year, still need to find time to play it once 

10: make specialability list with all SOBH abilities



So this is my current list, hope to have some stuff finished by this time next year

I tend to copy the core details of the special rules on to the army list - you tend to only have a few for an army, and this way it is very quick to reference them during a game.

Yes that's what i will do to if i have the time, but i would really like an overview to consult when i am making up warbands. The web tool for designing the warbands on the ganesha site is great, but with all the special abilities, a lot of book flicking is needed to remember what everything does. (of course, tis might improve when i get accustomed to the rules)

Started the last of my confederate bases for my acw project yesterday, hope to have them done soon!

Crack on, then you can half start another project whilst considering which to finish next

Or is that just me...

Nope same here, just back from the shop with a tube of bright red to paint my d&d red dragon 

And off course turqoise, orange, sand,beige and purple for various other things.

I use more and more of the levis tester tubes (ambiance mur) these days, covers great and dead matt. I use them for basecoating.

Even my acw confederates were painted using cheap acryllics for home decoration:



Most of my SOBH minis too!

Looking good, that man !

Top work

[petercooman]

When i get those last 8 bases done, i'll do some group shots!

[toxicpixie]

They've come up nice!

[petercooman]

So, last night i decided to do something about this:


"9: salem church mini counter game, have it almost a year, still need to find time to play it once    "




Took me longer than expected, as i was rusty with the rules and made some errors, and couldn't completely finish the game.

But for the price i paid for this, jolly good game!
