Every ending must have a start.

My resolution to paint (reduce) my pile of miniatures didn’t seem too daunting until I actually started looking at some numbers. I thought it might be wise to know what lies ahead and so took a tally of the stuff in my room.

This is just the stuff I have to hand and doesn’t include anything back at my old home in the loft and I have focused on games that I currently play or plan to relaunch during 2014.

• Batman Miniatures Game – 4
• Confrontation – 24
• Relics – 25
• Infinity – 22
• Hordes – 11
• Warmachine – 86
• Flames of War – 14 Bases of Infantry, 2 AT Guns, 2 Jeeps
• Warhammer Fantasy – An entire Vampire Counts Army – I couldn’t be bothered counting
• Warhammer 40k – 7 Marines, Necron Battleforce, Necron Lord, 3 Tomb Blades
• Malifaux – 12
• Dystopian Wars – 59
• Dreadball – 4

I think given we are currently playing Dreadball and Batman that these will be my focus (plus they have low model count).

Keep watching for news on how it goes.

Tuesday Night Gaming Round Up

Despite the plan to play four different systems in one night we only managed two because Dave forgot his iPad with rules and army lists on it.

I did try the Batman Miniatures Game for the first time and, despite a rather clunky set of translated rules, enjoyed the game although a head to head fight with no objectives doesn’t seem to be a good way to play the game.

My teaser post yesterday was my Joker model who is almost finished.

Joker

He did manage to KO a Gotham cop and then run up and stab him to death whilst unconscious without Batman pounding him because the Dark Knight was tied up in a tussle with Harley Quinn.

Second game was some 40k Kill Team and my Pre-Heresy Emperor’s Children held their own against a Tau firing line and a few Piranha. I did decide I need at least one weapon for taking out vehicles though.

All in all a fun night. Away next week so no gaming for me. May try and decipher the Batman rules some more.

#miniaturemonday 05/08/13

I promised yesterday that I had something for Miniature Monday so here goes.

Nothing special I know but it’s the first time I have picked up a brush in many months. Maybe I have opened the floodgates and I can crack on with all the other projects I have laying around.
