The Loose Association of Wargamers

This year has been a bit light for painting. Around 200 Trojans/Achaeans, plus a dozen chariots, 1 battalion of Hungarian SYW infantry and 20 WotR bowmen.

Why thank you kind sir!!! As did your Greeks....and everyone's lovely figures!!

What was most excellent about our Pointy Sticks game was that none of us had used them at all before!!! Must've been near on 1,000 troops on that table!!

660 figures to date, all 28mm of course: Punic Wars Republican Roman Allies & Carthaginians & Allies; the two armies for the Tales from Pendawar project; Dixon ACW figures, Union & Confederate; SYW French; a few odds probably. An average year I'd guess productivity wise but nothing to write home about.

This year's been a good one for me on the painting front:

Napoleonic Russians (AB 18mm) - 72 Foot & 6 Guns
Napoleonic French (AB 18mm) - 24 Horse
SYW Bavarians (OG 15mm) - 76 Foot, 1 Horse & 1 Gun
SYW Austrians (OG 15mm) - 12 Foot
SYW French (Eureka 18mm) - 263 Foot, 83 Horse & 6 Guns
SYW Prussians (Eureka 18mm) - 232 Foot, 5 Horse & 1 Gun
SYW British (Eureka 18mm) - 84 Foot
SYW Hanoverians (Eureka 18mm) - 128 Foot & 1 Horse
SYW Reichsarmee (OG 15mm) - 68 Foot & 3 Guns
SYW Hessen-Kassell (Eureka 18mm) - 16 Foot & 1 Horse
SYW Schaumburg-Lippe (Eureka 18mm) - 12 Foot

Total 15/18mm - 963 Foot, 114 Horse & 17 Guns

ACW Union (Pendraken 10mm) - 371 Foot, 38 Horse, 15 Guns & 11 Vehicles
ACW Confederate (Pendraken 10mm) - 217 Foot, 44 Horse, 6 Guns & 2 Vehicles

Total 10mm - 588 Foot, 82 Horse, 21 Guns & 13 Vehicles

I also painted three villages'-worth of 15mm buildings and village tiles from Total Battle Miniatures and built the 6'x8' Stones River battlefield.

Let's see, I worked on Pre-Contact North Americans (2 posse sizes groups), Dark Ages Irish, FIW odd and ends, EIR/Gaul odds and ends, and a variety of 13th Medievals, all in 28mm. Also did some 6mm - minimal WWII Paras for Sicily.

All total in 28mm:

Foot: 180x
Mounted: 22x
Canoe + 2x crew: 1x
Wagon w/team & drivers: 1x

In 6mm:
Inf: 36x
Command Jeep w/ some dudes: 1x

Not a bad effort given numerous work interruptions and the complexity of medieval heraldry/livery.

Cheers everyone - here's to a productive 2022 on the painting desks of all!

Not very productive, this year. Not including repairs and touch-ups to existing figures:
~50 X 28mm Perry WotR.
2 15mm 1944 British MOT PL in NWE, plus their 1/2 tracks, a 6pdr AT PL and tracks, and some tanks (all the vehicles still need to be weathered and some 1/2 tracks need their passengers painted- pic below shows them getting bloodied, I mean blooded).
~30 18mm SYW figures, the lace on figures for three BN and some Brit Cav musicians.

Now I've retired I hope to do better in 2022.

A lot of mucking around this year has limited the painting for me too. I have however managed to complete in 15mm a carrier platoon for 8RB in 11AD, in a 1:1 ratio (which is a lot of carriers!), with dismounts and some support weapons, a Fallschirmjager StuG battery (nominally the 12th, with hopefully the correct Luftwaffe blue on the crew...), and a HQ group for 21st PzD. If I get the time in the next couple of days they will be joined by a recce troop of Stuarts which need decals, weathering and basing to finish. Then there's a whole host of kits to build & men to paint for 11AD & 21PzD, with enough accumulated to produce a couple of decent battlegroups once done.

I've also managed to finish a team for Stargrave, with a second one nearly done too; along with a host of odds and sods and side projects.

Then I have to find the camera, which got packed away for a move 15 months ago & which lurks in an unopened box somewhere in the office.

Didn't know the Rifle Brigade had been around that long. Carriers were horse-drawn presumably. Knife blades on the idler and sprocket wheels?

Not much gets past the Baron!

Well, with my waistline I pretty much fill the goals.....
