May & June Totals

It's not been a very productive end of Spring & beginning of Summer. Still managed to get some stuff done. The numbers seem low, but I did a whole slew of assembly. The realist in my realizes that I'm probably assembling stuff I'll never get around to painting though. hmmm...

I'm still working through the starter set of the clone wars edition of Star Wars Legion. I finished all of the droids and have started the clones.

  • 1 General Grievous
  • 8 Star Wars Barricades
  • 4 Droidekas (2 standing and 2 rolling)
  • 1 Obi-wan Kenobi
May & June Totals: 14 miniatures
Year to Date: 71 miniatures

April 2022 Totals

Started work on the Star Wars Legion set that the boy got for xmas. He's supposed to be working on the clone half, but so far there hasn't been much traction on that. I think he's waiting for me to start on it for him...

My droids are down to 5 left (General Grevious and 4 Droidekas), although I might have picked up a super battle droid pack to add some punch to my side of the box (the boy got Arc troopers to keep it balanced).

I'll take pictures of all of the Droids together at some point.
  • 18 B1 Battle Droids (2 commanders, 2 Heavy Weapons, 2 "Medium" Weapon, 12 Standard Droids)
April Totals: 18
Year to Date: 57

March 2022 Totals

 Almost half way through April and I'm only now getting around to posting the March totals. I finished off the Forest Spirits for the 10mm Warmaster Army. I then launched into a bunch of leftover stuff I've been meaning to do. I built/based & primed all the miniatures for Star Wars Legion box set (clones vs. robots). I finished all of the flags for all of my Man O'War fleets. But I didn't paint any more miniatures. Been in a bit of a slump.

  • 9 Warmaster Dryad Stands
  • 6 Warmaster Treekin Stands
  • 1 Warmaster Treeman
  • 1 Warmaster Treeman Ancient
  • 1 Warmaster Dryad Hero
March Totals: 18
Year to date: 41

Warmaster: Complete Wood Elf Army

This is what I've been working on the past few months. A 2,500 pt Warmaster Wood Elf Army (or thereabouts). It can be divided into two 1,250 pt armies (one forest spirit/Sylvaneth and one elf/Asrai) fairly easily, so I can use it for games with my kids, where I need to supply both sides. It includes a small Wood Elf village.

I don't really want to go into how most of this was painted here ... a lot of different things were tried and there are better guides out there. Most of the heavy lifting on this project was done with Contrast paints. Aggros Dunes followed by spots of Aggrax Earthshade works surprisingly well.

I tried something a bit different, by adding some scenery, with the pictures. Now onto the pictures:

February 2022 Totals

 It's the shortest month of the year. I got close to getting 1 mini/stand a day this month, but in the end, I couldn't quite finish all of the Warmaster Wood Elf Tree Spirits in time (18 stands worth). So they'll need to count for next month. Now onto totals:

  • 8 Wood Elf Warmaster Characters (4 mounted, 4 on foot)
February Totals: 8
Year to Date: 23

January 2022 Totals

 I don't think I'll match last years productivity, but I'm off to a good start.

I'm still working on the Wood Elf Warmaster Army, getting closer and closer to finish it. This is the first time I've painted a unit that is horsemen (not counting centaurs). It went better than I expected. I'm down to just character models and tree spirits. There's a part of me that wants to pick up another 500 pts or so, that would allow me to field a 3000 pt army.

The boy got a Star Wars Legion starter box, Clone War edition. I assembled all of the miniatures, and will probably move it to the front of the painting queue. He wants to play it, so I want to play it. :-)

Totals:

  • 3 Warmaster Warhawk Riders
  • 6 Warmaster Wild/Stag Riders
  • 6 Warmaster Glade Riders
January Totals: 15
2022 Totals: 15

2021 Year End Totals

No pictures this month either. I'm still working through Warmaster miniatures. I hope to have the Wood Elfs complete relatively soon.

I managed to pass the goal of over 365 miniatures (1 per day for a year).  It was mainly due to doing 10mm terrain. It painted fast and had lots of pieces. But I'll take it as a win!

At the start of covid I decided to try to assemble all of the miniatures I own (and I made a huge impact on that front), but now I have a bunch of unpainted miniatures that need storage. I might slow down a bit, I need to spend some time organizing. We'll see what 2022 will bring! Hopefully I can finish off some projects.

Totals:

  • 8 Stands of Wardancers
December Totals: 8
2021 Totals: 380
