January: Painting update

"There is no better satisfaction than watching the paint drying", Abraham Lincoln, June 1862, at the Games Workshop Open Day.

Past 10 days have been busy finishing some miniatures, and working on my world domination plans (28mm based).
Here are some of the updates. There is German officers for Bolt Action/Reich of the Thousand Deads, Battle for Alabaster, Junker from Urban War and my Kings of War Kingdom of Man army in preparation.

Incoming short campaign using my Battle Systems terrain.

My Plans for 2015

So, how did 2014 go?

The 2014 panzer is gone and the 2015 truck is passing

Writing
Well, not too bad, but not as good as expected. Less battle reports, my RRtK campaign frozen and some battle not written yet.

Expanding my reach

Audience wise, I have to thank Sean who gave me damn good advices how to share my reports to more people.

Painting
That were I am the happiest. I had a good production, not Golden Demon or award level, but decent quality with new twists. There was a load of survivors for my WWW2 campaign, zombies and bolt action.
I also participated to Zombober that gave me a good kick to paint my zombicide.

Battle For Alabaster - Bad guys painted

Games
THW games were the most popular system I have played in 2014, namely ATZ-FFO and RRtk, followed by Bolt Action. I have played 1 SOTR game and 3 games of Kings of War (KoW). We pledged to its last kickstarter with a friend and we had to try army combination before buying new extra stuff.

I have adopted a new format for my battles in RRtK

I have also play few small games with my son and my daughter recently, a paper Xwing game and a playmobile "Knights and Dragon".

2015 Plans

In 2015, I will try to avoid buying too much stuff. I think I will add more fantasy ranges than anything else, first to build my Kings of War army, secondly to try to get my son into it.
I am supposed to receive 2 kickstarters (3 if I include KoW): Incursion kickstarter and Stone Dungeon Tiles.

Games:

• Continue my Reich of the Thousand Deads campaign, 
• Play some Bolt Action, 
• Start (maybe this year it will happen) my Fallout campaign, 
• Play Kings of War,
• Design a Star Wars game for my kids (they are deeply into Star Wars!)
• Play a Man o'war campaign with "For a bottle of Rum" campaign rules.
• Play Incursion

 Painting:

• Paint at least an army of fantasy
• Paint at least an army of Urban War
• Finish all my www2 miniatures
• Paint 2 fleets of Man o'War

dwarf fleet #1, the Rebel fleet

dwarf fleet #2
