2022 plans...



This is the time of the year where traditionally we make our unrealistic lists of things we think we're going to achieve but which we'll probably never actually do.  I don't usually do these kind of lists  as I always come unstuck and fail to achieve anything or get completely sidetracked, but this year I do sort of have some projects in mind and so perhaps saying them out loud (or writing them down) will help me stick to my guns... feel free to come back in January 2023 and point and laugh!

Last year I made a start on an Arthurian army and this has crawled along really slowly as I've lacked motivation to get painting. So priority #1 is to get a shift on with these.

I've also had a load of ACW Ironclad ships sitting in the loft for  years and would really like to get these on the table so #2 is to get enough of these painted up for a game.  This is definitely their year!!

#3 is to sort out my WW2 naval ships...mostly picked up 2nd hand a few years ago these have languished in a box and need a bit of TLC.

If I actually manage to get these done (ha!... who am I kidding!!) then there are several past projects where I have painted up just enough to have a game but could do with adding in more troops or models.  Filling in some of the gaps and broadening the range of the armies seems like a sensible approach rather than launching into something brand new.  This includes things like my AWI armies, Napoleonic ships, Gaslands cars, cowboys and WW2 aircraft.

Of course there's always the danger of being distracted by one of those ideas that rumble around at the back of my mind, and I wouldn't be a gamer if I didn't have a couple of those.  So if you spot a post about 6mm biblical armies or 28mm Mythic Ancient Greeks you'll know I weakened...
