Time for my year in review...sorry for the wall of text, this serves as my hobby diary.
I got in lots of painting over Christmas to start things off right in 2020...52 figures (Werewolves and Centaurs)...that all need to be based until I get credit!
My plans are to keep rolling with the Slaughterloo figures...Hares, then Otters, Halflings and Trolls.
First and last pictures of 2019...Sci-fi skirmish game, and the 2nd batch of Slaughterloo figures awaiting basing.

2- Start Albedo once the range is more filled out...will take about 4 months to paint the figures
3- Attend Historicon
4- Keep spending to <$1800 total... I can do it!
5- 15mm fantasy if I get into a slump
Review of Plans for 2019
1- Complete all on hand AVBCW figures by end of June: Success
2- Game more than 10 games: Success
3- Attend Historicon: Success
4- Keep spending under $1000 (plus Historicon): Failed!!!!!

- Phase II of Zombies
- Phase II of AVBCW---Complete, no major additions needed
- Return to 15mm Fantasy
