Timeline:
2007
As a former avid wargamer, and still active video gamer, I decide to dip my toes into these games labelled "Euros". I buy Carcassonne.
2008
Collection expands, with such games as Ticket to Ride: Europe, Puerto Rico, and Race for the Galaxy.
2009
Moving back to Australia, I get the idea that maybe I want to get back into some of the old games I used to play. So I (quite literally) dust off my Necromunda gang, and look into getting myself a new Blood Bowl team.
2010
Things start to get a bit out of hand. Epic 40,000, Battlefleet Gothic, Earth Reborn, Warhammer Quest, and Space Hulk (third edition) all get added to my collection. My collection of unpainted models reaches a frightening level.
2011
Things go from bad to worse. I now have 2.5 BFG fleets, 2.5 Epic armies, 2 Necromunda gangs, 4 Blood Bowl teams, a plethora of warriors and monsters for Warhammer Quest, and the components of three big standalone games all in need of painting. I've gotten some of it done. But in total, less than 5% is table-ready.
Projects on-the-go (done%)
• Battlefleet Gothic - Imperial / Space Marine fleet, plus some homebrew planets (70%)
• Necromunda - Orlock and Cawdor gangs (75%)
• Blood Bowl - Human team (5%)
Everything else has yet to get of the starting blocks in terms of painting. Added to this, I have a big pile of custom-built Necromunda secenery that needs painting, I need to get some Epic scale scenery together, and I have a wargaming table that's in need of finishing.
I will try to post my WIP pics shortly. Then it's time to get paint onto miniatures pronto. My copy of Dreadfleet arrives this time next week, and the fact that I will probably only part-assemble before painting means that it bumps the game right up in the queue so that it's playable at all. I would like to get some more of my in-progress work completed by then.
