Since it’s the 2nd of November and nobody has started this topic yet, I will...
My goal this month is to finish enough Prince August home cast figures to stage a skirmish, and then to actually play it. I came close last month, with a last minute finish on nine figures, but I’ll need several more to field my orcs and such warband.
My secondary goal is to get back to painting more regularly; I started the year at a pace of ~1 tabletop-grade figure per day, but I’ll need to stick to painting if I want to end the year with a pace of half a figure per day. I’ve been running something about that the past couple of years, which means that, if I were serious about this, I would need to focus a bit more. For most of the rules I play, a new project would be something like two armies of twelve units each of twelve figures, or a total of about 288 figures. If I didn’t “butterfly”, that would be about a year and a half of painting, which wouldn’t be so bad if I could actually stay focused on a single project. The odds against that are very long, of course. I’m currently looking at three new starts (Classical Greeks in 1/72, Franco-Prussian War in 40mm home cast using vintage molds, and generic horse and musket with imagi-nations in portable 1/72) plus three ongoing projects that could use a fair bit of work (40mm French Revolution, 1/72 scale fantasy—playable but wants two Hordes of the Things armies to fill out the campaign, about 120 figures, and 25mm vintage Tolkien fantasy—for which I undoubtedly already own more figures than will be painted) and several skirmish projects.
