Plans for 2012?

[Leon]

1 - Post something in the Pendraken forums instead of lurking (looks like Ive just completed that one)
2 - Sell off the mountain of 25mm lead - seriously there is tons of it!
3 - Use funds from 2 to buy oodles of 10mm Pendraken Napoleonics
4 - Paint 3
5 - Post Pictures of 4
6- most importantly - get some games in.

Sounds like a solid plan!

you've missed out stage 4.1 - Get distracted by new Pendraken goodies. Go back directly to Stage 3. Do not pass Go. Pay Leon £200.

Other than that, i'm not sure what will take my fancy over the next few months...

Dagnabbit...all my best laid plans blown apart by a sizable 6mm purchase from Dark Realm Miniatures. 

Wanted to do 10mm sci-fi (using Pendraken) but the ranges just aren't there unfortunately     ...even with the lovely new add-ons.

Just out of curiosity, what stuff were we missing that you wanted?

Tanks!!!!!!!!!

But I got round it by buying some Mechwarrior clickys from Ebay

Just out of curiosity, what stuff were we missing that you wanted?

At least two full factions with lots of options.

Here's what we're doing;

'Warhammer 32000'

A game set during the GW Warhammer 40k 'Age of Apostasy' era, so we needed two full forces; the Adeptus Mechanicus and the Adeptus Ministorum.

DRM gave is the options we needed; various infantry, all manner of light and heavy vehicles, war walkers (up to Titans), air power, artillery, etc., etc.

Esentially if you had sci-fi ranges that matched your WWII ranges i'd definitely have gone for 10mm over 6mm.

Also, not to harp on but without photos on the website i couldn't make a judgement about the suitability of your sci-fi ranges.

If i'm dealing with a historical range, pictures or not i have some idea of what i'll get.  Sci-fi lacks that reference.

I'm hoping the recent new figures are a shape of greater things to come.  I'm looking at perhaps using your 10mm sci-fi figures for the 'Tomorrow's War' rules, but again it'll depend on what you have in the range...

[Leon]

Thanks for the info.  There will be photo's of all the Sci-Fi posted up when the range gets it's full revamp, and I'll have to see what other goodies I can muster up in the meantime.  The current Marines will be staying in the catalogue, so they could always be one faction, going against the newer sculpts?  Or use the Troopers as one side?

My plans for 2012 in no particular order..

1.  Order some Pendraken ECW.... Done.
2.  Save enough to get my Lambretta tinware painted..
3.  Rebuild above Lambretta
4.  Finish partition of garage to house my model railway ( N Gauge Steam )
5.  Set up my reef tank again after a break..Small one this time....not a priority really..
6.  Paint above ECW figures
7.  Paint 'other' figures that I sell for funds to pay for all of the above 
8.  Get my seeds ready for planting in my small home allotment...just run out of stuff from last year..yummy it all was too.
9.  Win the lottery so I can buy a mansion with a large wing for gaming, railway, etc etc
10.. Stop dreaming and get on with it...

Oooo got any pics of the Lambretta ?

[cudders]

Hi mate.

I'll get some off my other PC mate.. It's a 1968 LI... I've had em since I was 17, probably about 50 over the years including Vespas. I restore em and sell when I feel the need but I dont have a paint booth so have to get that done elsewhere..hate paying for it    I'll be keeping this one as it's the year I wanted..same year I was born  

It was a wreck so no nice piccies of it yet but I'll get one of the one I sold last year..That was very nice...

Ace! The 67 special is indeed very nice  

[The_Shootist]

1.0 Finish painting lots of German panzers , then finish painting lots of French tanks.

2.0 Finish off French Infantry to go with above, Germans already done.

3.0 Double check 1st Panzer ORBAT make sure got everything, do same for French, then start on aircraft and defensive positions.

4.0 Co-ordinate and tie up loose ends will then be ready for Bovington 2013.

5.0 If gaps in schedule then attempt to start 15mm ACW, 28mm Impetus (WOTR).

6.0 Finish Space marines and put onto E-bay
