As I type this I am thinking of a couple of different things. First off was my year in review (the last thing I wrote here) as well as how I'm actually blogging this post as we speak. Two totally different subjects but both illustrate how I need to get off my arse and start doing. I put that "arse" in there for you Spacejacker.
Above you can see is the work I have cut out for me; the minis desk itself. Yeah, it's a mess. Not a good mess either, a very non-productive mess at that! Before I get into the first projects of the terai need a snow shovel to clear this off with. Front and center though I spy a block of Dark Age figs that will make an appearance soon!
Here's my first project of the last two years pretty much. I'm going simple, just a box of Wargames Factory sci-fi greatcoats, and a platoon warbot. I also plan on a couple of IFVs and maybe a jeep or aerial drone...but first things first! Are these for a specific game or purpose? Nah, just minis that have sat around long enough and will serve as a good refresher course in how to paint minis.
That's all I've got for now. This year I'm going to try and blog more, but also keep them short and sweet, minimal but still get across what I've got cooking. Until next time, enjoy!
Dude, you guys are getting into Dark Age? Sweet. Who caught that bug?
ReplyDeleteDark Ages, historical stuff from the period, which we've done a lot of, not Dark Age the game which looks like cool, just nowhere near being on the radar.
DeleteActually, even better! I can't wait to see what you've got!
DeleteI just need to get cracking, brother.
DeleteSaga rules set?
ReplyDeleteI also have the same greatcoats to paint. But mine are for a long neglected sci-fi project. good luck!
Thanks Dai! The Saga rules will be for a horde of Vikings I've got laying around. These guys will also be for an ambiguous sci-fi project, long overdue but without any real direction.
DeleteYour blogging is outpacing me at a rapid rate, so I'd say you're off your arse.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, I say "Arse" if I'm talking to an english person about my lack of motivation, ie "I can't be arsed." However if I'm talking about being generally triumphant I would pronounce it "kicking ass."
To paraphrase Corbin Dallas, "I only speak three languages - English, Bad English and Australian."
Well, I'm trying to be all edgy, haha, that's as much cursing as this blog's seen in seven years!
DeleteI am trying to get the blood flowing again, so will be looking to *you* for some inspiration and motivation my man!
