Lists Are Bad Things!!!!!

A recent blogger was unwise enough to do a list of current projects that need attention, he even said it was a bad idea. Now take my advice and DON'T DO IT.

Last night I decided I was too flaked to paint and with Triples around the corner it may well be an idea to see just what I have against what I need.

Currently I am working on 15mm Ancients, 15mm ECW, 6mm Napoleonic, 20mm Ancients in plastic, and 28mm WWII. Three other periods are under consideration, Gladiators probably in 28mm and Fantasy Role playing (after too long away) and last of all 15mm Orc and Goblin army that was given to me last year.

Numbers, it always comes down to numbers so here we go

15mm Ancients

Phalangites x 218 figures to go with the two blocks already done, though 64 figs get priority.

Peltasts x 16

Companion Cav x 12

Agema Cav x 12

Thracian Infantry x 40 figs

Command x 9 figs

Persian Cav x 16 figs (8 more needed at Triples)

Camels and riders x10 ( 2 more required, again Triples)

Elephants x 5 with crew

Cataphracts x 38

Skythian Cav x 8 (to base with others as Cav not LH)

Taratine Cav x 12

Galatian Cav x 15

Archers x 48 (base as Medium Inf)

Persian Bow x 8

15mm ECW

Single Regiment of Foote x 20 figs.

Once the 15mm or 10mm direction is decided then I will look to add some new Horse and Foote Regiments to the 15mm or Sell the lot. Meanwhile I am re-basing the lot. More on that on a later post.

15mm Orcs and Goblins

Infantry x 150

Warg Riders x 5

Chariot x 1

Dragon rider x 1

6mm French Naps

Foot x 396 figs

Cav x 54 figs

Generals x 9 figs

Guns and Crews x 4

28mm WWII

Ever growing list!! I started the post with about 20 left to do but another 12 arrived through the post!

20mm Ancients

Dacian Infantry Conversions x 96

Roman Deserter Cav x 12

Another few hundred on order.

As I said above, lists are not a good idea. I also have four projects on the painting desk at the moment, three of them just requiring base work and 12 Numedian LC that I just had to start as they look really nice, these are close to being finished.

After all this madness it's time for me to pimp someone else's blog, That being Diary of a Infrequent Wargamer. He has just hit 30 followers but should have more. Like me once he hits 50 he plans a giveaway. So if you like good painting, varied topics and good writing then nip over for a gander.
