Plans for 2012?

[Leon]

So, we've got a few things scheduled at this end for the coming year, but what projects has everyone else got planned, 10mm or otherwise?

[Raider4]

Heh, wargaming wise:

1) Finish something. Anything. Don't care what. Just finish something! 

More specifically:
2) Victorian Sci-Fi. Martian invasion of Earth. British expedition to Mars. Using Pendraken Colonial figures & Tripods. And maybe some others to shock the redcoats when they get to Mars ....
3) Aliens vs Colonial Marines. Vs Predators. Again using Pendraken.
4) Modular game board. Desgn based on the (very expensive) GW one, but using 1'x1' cork tiles. For 10mm & 6mm gaming. Made a start on this today.
5) I'd love to do some Cold War type stuff, but this will probably be in 6mm.

Those are the current plans. Of course, this time next week I'll have changed my mind completely ...

An early Happy New Year to everyone!

Cheers, Martyn

The following are on the "active" list, and in some sort of order of likely hood of stuff happening.

1) 28mm Anglo-Dane warband for Saga - this is a very new project, got a couple of boxes of plastic figures for Christmas, and have assembled 40 or so to make 6 units, even painted a few.

2) 10mm GW Warmaster High Elves, this seems to be a never ending army, I've got well over 5000 pts painted, and am currently rescuing half a dozen units I just bought basically painted off ebay. I also have several thousand more points of figures. In the ebay lot I got some Pendraken Elves, and do rather like these so may be getting some more of these.

3) 10mm Araby - this army only started this year and I have a good number of units painted, but only have a fraction of the total done. I have quite a few units base coated so really should get these painted.

4) 10mm Pendraken Late Era Romans - this army was bought early in 2011, and I have about 10 units painted so far. These are very nice figures, and have lots of detail both on the figures and in painting in the clothes and shields. This is going quite steadily as they currently lack an opponent. Though I may generate a Fantasy Hail Caesar list for them, perhaps adding some wolves/war dogs and a dragon (well they do have draco banners!)

5) 10mm Dogs of War - I have quite a lot of Pendraken Minatours base coated (to be used as Ogres) and have several bags of pikemen. So should get on with these as I have quite a lot of figures already painted for this army.

6) 10mm GW Empire - this army goes hand in hand with the Dogs of War, as several key units are shared. I need to get quite a lot of halberdiers painted, to make in WM legal.

7) 10mm Orcs - have loads of figures for this from various manufacturers, many base coated, but they don't see much progress.

8 ) 28mm War of the Roses - mainly Perry plastics with some assorted metals (even some 20 year old citadel ones!) not a lot of progress with these, but I recently assembled quite a few more figures.

9) 10mm WWII - probably my biggest collection, but has rather languished the last couple of years as Fantasy gaming has been to the fore. These should get some more table time.

Looking at that lot - I perhaps need a bit more focus. But in the last year I have got a lot of figures painted, as I have been playing games.

Planned to finish in 2012   

1) 10mm Anglo-Saxon WM Ancients army, 5 units done so far.

2) finalize the WW1 rules and then build boxed sets of WW1 starter armies for the rules built from Pendraken's awesome WW1 range of minis

3) build 5 more Wild West buildings from my 28mm Wild West class for this summer

4) pester Leon until the Aztec and their enemies are ready for production   

There are of course lots more but I was getting dizzy just thinking about all the work those 4 are going to cause me 

[snafu]

the first and this will prob be on everyones list ... STOP BUYING THINGS I NEVER GET ROUND TO PAINTING. 

in no order

Finish my 10mm forces for KGN rules PRIORITY...
Do more regular sculpts for dave/leon on amonthly basis... 
Look at some 10mm building designs for WWII.

evrything else on the sidelines at least for 6 months...

[Steve J]

In no particular order:

- Start the Storm Clouds Gather campaign based around the AVBCW setting.
- Paint forces for the above.
- Operation Sealion in 10mm. I have the forces, I just need to base them, then paint them etc...
- Finish off my 2mm ECW forces and actually use them in a game.
- Ditto the above but with 3mm Western Desert forces.
- 15mm Force-on-Force figures to be painted, then gamed with.
- I would like to try out Rules of Engagement using 10mm figures.
- Assemble some FWC forces and actually try the rules out.

I'm sure there are more, but this is enough to be getting on with!

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

10mm:
Finish VI Corps for French 1870 (only 3 divisions to go)

1870 French III Corps (slim chance)

Oh, and continue my 15mm British for Cassino/Anzio by mid-Feb...

[maciek]

I intended to start painting my AWI armies, but now, with american cavalry still unavailable, and high chance, that it will never materialize, I'll rather postpone this project and will look something more promising.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

...oh, and repaint the nursery 1:1 scale before the beginning of June!

[Chad]

Finish 28mm Napoleonics.

Finish 10mm 1806/7Prussians, Saxons and Russians.

Don't think I will have time for anything else. Still, only 10 months
