Its been a fantastic year hobby wise. I think my painting has come on in leaps and bounds. I even scratch built and finished some terrain! I made plenty of new friends in the hobby via this blog and facebook. Being able to meet up with several bloggers and attending 3 shows was also a major highlight. Got involved with the Across the Dead Earth Kickstarter Project as a beta tester which has just been such an awesome experience made some great new friends and got my name in the back of the book Woot! Beginning to get involved with SDZA now rules have started to appear for testing more on this in the next week or so.

83 Total 70x28mm and 13x 15mm. (Not including 20+ rebased figures)

2013
4 Games Played 3 Empire of the Dead and 1 7TV
Well Miniatures painted is slightly down again! from 2013 and 2012 but I think with the Terrain done (which is alot more time consuming) and re-basing fair number of figures. Its been a very productive year. Games played I'm really chuffed with as I've managed to get a fair few in this year as well with testing out Across the Dead Earth I also got to try out Anime Tactics with Pulp Citizen as well as a games of ATDE. We nearly got some Pulp City in but alas schedules conspired against us. More games shall have to be planned for this year!
Regrets.
Didn't get around to getting the Labyrinth project up and running for Christmas as planned but tbh I don't think we would of been able to squeeze it in anyway. So It will be something for quarter one of 2015. Perhaps something for the Easter holidays.
Plans.
More of the same really. I'd like to get some more 7TV and Empire of the Dead painted this year at some point it kind fell onto the back burner as other projects got attention instead.
There is a new one started which there will be more on in another post. More Across the Dead Earth terrain for certain. Miniature buying will be a low priority this year.
I have the Studio Kickstarter to come in March (Assuming it all arrives on time) finances are a bit tighter this year with renovations to the house planned as well holidays etc. I have tons of stuff like everyone to paint though so have no fears there. There may be the odd purchase here and there but I shall have to be strong!
Gaming wise I'd like to do more schedules allowing it.

ReplyDeleteI tend not to look back, maybe I should. But your plans for the future sound good and fun and I shall look forward to seeing them progress.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck for the future mate.
Wow Simon you have really been busy, some of the terrain you have made really gives off a good vibe, some of it reminds me of Necromunda ? GW game, is that what it was called ? kind of a modern version of that, anyway keep up the great work.
ReplyDeleteA cracking year Simon, but I trust that this new one will be even better. Looking forward to all the postings you have in store for us :-)
ReplyDeleteHope 2015 will be as good as 2014 fore you mate!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your plans for the year, Simon! I posted on the same topic on my blog too. I wonder what we will think in 12 months when we look back at what our intentions were in January!
ReplyDeleteIt is all good mate!!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to a fantastic 2015
Sounds like 2014 was pretty good to you dude! Let's hope 2015 is even better.

ReplyDeleteIt's been a great pleasure visiting your blog, Simon. Looking forward to more in 2015!
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work; it's always a pleasure to see what you're doing in the hobby!
ReplyDeleteThat's a huge amount of games there, well done! They do rack up quickly with some company, don't they?
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about purchasing the miniatures, I am sure you'd be surprised how much you still got to paint!
