Year End Review: 2017

Hello Folks,

So finally time to do the year end review for 2017, time really files! So as usual to start things off we will have a look at what the goals were for 2017, and how they turned out:

1. British Ships for Trafalgar
2. 15mm Samurai (Monks) for Cangames
3. 15mm WW1 
4. Get more into the Hobbit Game Planning to do some Terrain for Cangames for Frostgrave
5. Would like to get to some more Eipc, really enjoy that game

Seems like I did alright with the goals this time around. The British ships were completed, only 4 of them but they are a major trial to complete! Painted a bunch of 15mm Warrior Monks for cangames, and more Eipc armies as well. No success on the 15mm WW1 project thou, the motivation for that one still eludes. But on the other hand I think it is fair to say that the Hobbit game was gotten into in a major way!

So with the goals taken care of here are a few shots of some the major and or cool projects that got done in 2017.

British Fleet:

Heavy Gear, CEF:

Epic Space Marines:

Warrior Monks:

The Walking Dead:

Late Romans:

Infinity:

Lord of the Rings:

Cangames:

No shortage of stuff and lots of variety! 

Of course that leaves the plans for next year:

1. Paint everything to run an Osgiliath game at Cangames.
2. Paint everything to run a the Fords of the River Isen battle at Cangames.
3. Paint a new By Fire and Sword army.
4. Paint enough stuff including terrain to play some 7TV.
5. Paint enough stuff to play a different Epic ARmy at Cold Wars.

Lots of plans, hopefully I can get through them all!

Pledge Status, 2017:

Bought: 405
Painted: 441 
Total: 36

Historic Results:

2016: 484 Painted

2015: 216 Painted
2014: 140 Painted

So there you go did pretty well with the pledge, a slightly positive number at least. Didn't quite break the record of last year, but there is always next year. Part of me wants to say that the point of the pledge is to buy less stuff and not just paint more but never mind! 

Let me know your plans for the next year, be interesting to hear from people, good time to make your own post like this I guess as many people have.

Thanks;
Mike
