Projects to complete or finish off
Gaul army using 20 mm HaT plastic miniatures, currently about two-thirds complete.
Star Wars Legion, finishing off a couple of models that are still sitting in the plastic pile.
Adding to or enhancing existing periods
Napoleonic armies, with the addition of artillery, cavalry, and officers with standard bearers.
English Civil War, adding two cavalry units and some dragoons.
WWI, strengthening my British army for the Mesopotamian front forces with more Indian troops and cavalry. The HaT 20mm miniatures are already in the plastic pile.
New projects
Revamping my Warhammer 40,000 terrain, which is currently rather bulky and not well suited to gaming on square or hex grids.
Battle of Britain / Blood Red Skies, a small project of four aircraft to try my hand at air wargaming.
Campaigns
Gauls vs Romans, most likely a mini-campaign of about 3 to 5 tabletop battles, though the how I will run it is still to be decided.
English Civil War campaign, smaller in scope than the one I ran between December 2018 and February 2020, which involved over 30 tabletop battles (original campaign posts start here). This will again be an area-based campaign, but with far fewer regions to control.
WWII desert campaign, using a board game as the campaign map and guide to drive the tabletop battles.
Anyway a few things to get going with, which will no doubt change once I am back at the painting table.
That is it. It is hard writing a post on an iPhone. But here are some more photos of the changing of the Guard Korean style…
Some good plans there Peter and it's always nice to tie up lose ends on a project before moving onto new ones, something I'm trying to do this year. Lots to look forward to it would seem:). Great photos of the changing of the guard!
ReplyDeleteFortunately I seem to be able to finish most projects before moving on. Nowadays it is mostly adding to existing armies. I did like the flags of the Korean Guards.
DeleteA good set of plans for the year ahead, good luck in completing your goals, I am sure you will and will enjoy reading about it too!
ReplyDeleteThe plans are not too onerous as I seem to split my time between wargaming and keeping the garden under control.
DeleteA great format for deciding what to do Peter.
ReplyDeleteProjects to finish, additions to existing projects, new projects and new campaigns. I think I may steal it 😁
You didn't get any inspiration to start an ancient Korea project?
I must confess to searching for miniatures of the period.
DeleteThat should keep you busy Peter! Looking forward to reading about your campaigns.
ReplyDeleteI like the Korea photos. Beautiful, bright colours.
Yes, very colourful.
DeleteWhat a beautifully colourful changing of the guard!
ReplyDeleteWonderful sounding projects for us to enjoy vicariously.
Best wishes, James
Thanks. The changing of the guard was indeed a colourful spectacle.
DeleteAt least you have plans. As you mentioned, the garden always needs to be maintained (from a personal perspective - I’m too lazy to shave the hair on my face every day and, likewise, the grass in the garden keeps growing. It might not be too bad if I enjoyed gardening, but the reality is that it’s just yet another chore).
ReplyDeleteYour campaigns sound interesting - I look forward to reading how you get on.
In the UK Korean food is a relatively new addition to the exotic/foreign food scene. What do Koreans, in Korea, regard as “foreign” food?
I imagine it would be hard to think of roast beef, Yorkshire pudding and mashed potatoes as in any way exotic. Ha ha 😂
Cheers,
Geoff
Fortunately I for the most part enjoy gardening. As for food in Korea we saw and ate Thai, Japanese, Indian, along with various Korean specialties.
DeleteAs everyone has already noted, these look like some good solid achievable targets Peter. Did you go to the DMZ and watch the guards doing their stylised confrontation across the border? My personal favourite is the one between India and Pakistan where they slam the gates shut right in each other's faces!
ReplyDeleteI agree re blogging on a phone, it's a real hassle!
The focus of the trip was my Son’s wedding. So we were limited to Seoul.
DeleteGreat plans. Looking forward to your progress. Great photos as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Looking forward to making progress.
DeleteYou visited Seoul and didn't come back with a miniature turtle ship and a few Japanese opponents to paint? I didn't think it was legal to exit the ROK without at least one turtle ship.
ReplyDeleteThere was an exhibition about the admiral and the turtle ships at the museum. But no models were found.
