Plans for 2017!

Firstly I'd like to wish a Happy New Year to all my friends and followers on here. 2016 was a crazy year and ended crazy busy for me.  I managed to get to the cinema with some a friend and watch Rogue One in 3D which awesome and I heartily recommend it!



I had a good year painting wise managing to paint 84 miniature which is 2 more than the previous year hoorah! All 28mm/35mm and a fair few being Batman or Superhero related.

Games wise was really good I have lost count but have been to four Batman Tournaments this year as well as many games at mine and Pulp Citizens. Regretfully I've not been able to get over to the new club as yet but I hope to get down there this year.

I didn't attend a single show last year so I hope to rectify that somewhat this year. This was mainly down to not having funds at the time of shows or things I really wanted (Suicide Squad Game box) meaning I couldn't justify the expense of travel to some.

Reading  proper books has been a bit crap this year I seem to start books then drift away half way through losing interest. Comics wise i've read tons from Batwoman to Birds of Prey to Suicide Squad and Hawk and Dove.

Plans for 2017 is to continue painting/wargaming as normal. I've been working on some bits over Christmas here and there so hopefully I'll have something to show this week or next time willing. At the moment most likely more Batman and more Alpha squad are currently on the bench being worked on. Got my first game of the year planned for next week as well so hopefully that will spur me to get some figures finished to be used for it.

Some of my figures from 2016.

  4. A fantastic year Simon, and some wonderful postings/paint-jobs. Hopefully I'll finally be able to get some "Knight Models" painted myself this year, as your articles are constantly tempting me :-)
