June 2015

No games or painting this month, but I did finish the texturing/flocking of my entire imagi-nation army. Took longer than expected in man-hours, but I had put it off long enough.

In other news, I will miss Historicon next year because of work...good news it will be the end of a two-year military education course on 22 July 2016.

PAINTING
none

GAMES
none (Junior General did play one game with a friend)

PURCHASES and BUDGET
$30.69 for the month and $604 year to date. This is $296 under budget for the year. I have a large budget for Historicon next month with a few planned purchases. Most of the expense goes to travel, hotel, and food...I include that in my budget for the year.

MID-YEAR REVIEW
1- Pirates: Struggling to get started...but I am determined.
2- Texture/flock Imagi-Nation figures: Done!
3- Historicon: two weeks to go.
4- Cut spending 20%: well ahead of my target.
5- Small additions to existing projects: none, but started a Pulp project.
6- Fantasy Rules: did some work on my home version of FoB/HR.
7- Next Project: Pulp snuck up on me.
8- Lead Mountain: Painted everything I purchased, slow work on the Pirates.

Grand Army of the Kingdom of Katzenstein

(updated 31 December 2016) A milestone for the year and for my Katzenstein project...after must procrastination, I finished texturing/flocking all the bases to bring my entire miniature collection to a single standard. Nothing fancy, but the flock matches my game table.

The entire army in all its glory

Katzenstein Reinforcements

The Army of Katzenstein has been at peace for a few years. The King has taken his time in re-equipping and reinforcing the army.

The incorporation of the Northern realms into the kingdom continues with some additions to the King's infantry forces.

The Merlichetic Musketeers (IR 66)

Jackson Jagers (IR 67)

Prince Noah's Light Foot (IR 68)

The bottom two units are from July 2014. Painted up for skirmish gaming, but they have not seen the table. I may re-base to my 4 base standard. The Merlichetic Musketeers are the first group I painted to start the Pirate project...they are now re-purposed to this project.
