Whoa! I feel a bit dizzy now, but I think I need to try and discipline myself and clear some of the lead mountain before buying anything else. The only things I will allow myself to buy are anything directly related to these figures (paint, resin bases, etc) and any miniatures that I deem necessary to round out an army. For example, the Dystopian Legions figures are only the starter and a couple extras. To really play it in earnest I will need more Line Infantry, so there's no point painting all those present if I won't allow myself to extend. However, it means no more figures for other rulesets, new or existing, and no new factions (OK, I have a Zoraida starter crew on the way, which means I can pretty much buy anything except Ten Thunders or Outcasts!).
So what do we have here:
- Inifinity - Mostly Bakunin figures, but also some remotes. Not pictured are 2 Hellcats, a Hacker and a Mobile Brigada.
- Dysoptian Legions - the starter set really only has the Sky Hussars left unassembled. Then it's Musicians and the guy in the steam-powered bath chair!
- Malifaux - Colette du Bois and most of McMourning's crew are pictured. McMourning and The Hanged are in a draw somewhere, but I consider them part of this pledge (as are the missing Inifinity). As mentioned, Zoraida is on the way, so when I'm done, I will have one faction for each of the Guild, Resurrectionists, Neverborn and Arcanists. So I better get a bunch of games in this year!
- Reaper - there are a bunch of Chronoscope and Dark Heavens Legends figures that should be enough to make a reasonable good guy and villain team.
- Pendraken 7YW - for Maurice, of course. This is what's left of the Austrian starter army I bought. This is another force that will swiftly require expanded, but I think that Maurice won't be on the radar till the summer, so I might even be done with this lot before then.
- Cowboys - hard to make out, but there are 3 blisters of Artizan Wild West figures in there. They're just really nice figures which I want to paint and we will doubtless be used in some TRWNN action soon enough.
Good luck with it!
ReplyDeleteMy New Years resolution is not to buy a single mini this year... I guess you will be allowed to buy something new somewhat earlier! ;-)
And I thought I was being ambitious! No minis for a year? You're a braver man than I! Good luck and I salute you! :)
DeleteHa ha ha ha!!! Oh, you're serious!
ReplyDeleteOnly joking! Best of luck. I had some success lately be writing down deadlines for finishing specific figures/units. Once it's down in black and white, it's easier to spend a bit longer at the painting desk.
The above is, of course, not the entire lead pile, so everything that was picked ties into my game plans for 2013. This way I hope that my painting and gaming plans will compliment each other. Plus it's an incentive to just get painting. Quicker I finish, the quicker I can buy more stuff! I intend to use the blog a bit more to record my progress and keep the momentum up.
DeleteGotta catch 'em all!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the resolution; it's something I've tried myself before (and failed).
Good luck with the goal! If you do a little each night you can acheive that goal! *cracks the whip* You paint! You Paint more! You sleep when you die! You no stop painting yet!
ReplyDeleteGood luck. I'm doing something similar. Maybe there's motivation in company?
ReplyDeleteI'll give you a month and you'll be itching to buy something else!!
