January 2021

 A fine hobby month in an otherwise COVID dominated start to the new year. I got in a Slaughterloo campaign game with FOB3, painted a big batch of figures, and spent $0 !!! The hobby trifecta.

I will work on posting the battle report this week. 


Next up...the Slaughterloo Dark Elves (Spanish): 3 x infantry units, 3 x cav, 1 x artillery, and a few leaders/personalities. I hope to get these done over the next 2 months. I am painting alternating groups for the two sides in my campaign. Rats (Scots) are up after the Dark Elves...then come the big 4...Dogs (Austrians), Elves (French), Dwarves (Prussians), and Orcs (Brits). Whole thing will take be about another 3 years :)

Starting strong

 Good start to the month...I am working on a goal to paint and exercise everyday in January. 18 days in and on the mark.

Finished (minus basing) three cavalry units and well on my way to finishing three infantry units for Slaughterloo. 

Plus have a game in my FOB3 Slaughterloo on the table. The Seasons of Battle campaign rules are helping write the narrative...some back and forth manuever with one side gaining an advantage and bringing battle at a location with a wide open flank to maximize the effectiveness of their superiors quantity and quality of cavalry.

$0 spent for the month is a bonus.


These guys now are 75% complete

Getting the table ready

Big cav ready for basing

Great room for maneuver on the right flank
