What
happened?
Another
year came and went. I went all to fast.
So
whatever did happen this last year?

– the bots scaled down activities in mid-summer and hits per month are back to
normal pre-superbot-levels now. No real need to count them anymore as they are
so skewed.
Painted:
20mm
Should
have been more, but there is hope for our France 1940 Chain of Command games. Quite
a few French soldiers are at least close to the painting table.
28mm
Fantasy:
93 medium-sized and 6 large
Pulp:
18 medium and one large
SF:
24 civilians and 1 large robot, all for MERCS. The civvies will work well in
modern settings, and will see use in 7TV.
Western:
4 medium
WWII:
2 tankettes, a sub and a mini-sub. They will all double as pulp-rides.
Dust:
10 soldiers and 2 vehicles.
Terrain:
Lots and lots of scatter terrain and a few buildings.
All
in all a rather good year.
3D-printing
I
had my printer serviced and after that it worked… somewhat… until is broke
again… sigh.
Kickstarters
I’ve
backed a couple of games, some figures and a few 3D-printing kickstarters. Not
too bad, actually, as the amount of miniatures in the tin- and
plastics-mountain didn’t increase too much.
Received
some stuff, like Mythic Battles:
Pantheon, and still waiting for the customer-relations-horror-story that is
Shadows of Brimstone. Remind me to
never, ever, buy anything from Flying Frog Productions as they don’t deserve
any customers, really.
2018
Games and miniatures
The
minis from the Conan core box are
nearly done, and they are the highest priority just now. Then I expect to see
lots of Conan on the gaming table.
Other
games that would benefit from painted minis are Blood Rage, Mythic Battles:
Pantheon and SMOG: Rise of Moloch
(that will deliver in early 2018). Of those I think Blood Rage will hit the
gaming table the soonest, as it I already have some minis painted.
I’ve
played a game of the new DUST 1947
rules and really fancied the changes. Rules are bought and minis prepared.
There will be games soon and certainly more minis painted.
Had
a game of Chain of Command the other
day and it was great fun, as always. I really have to paint the last few 20mm figures
we need for France 1940.
As
usual I will paint whatever I fancy from the tin- and plastics mountain.
Probably mostly fantasy, but almost certainly some pulp and sf, too. I plan to
start a Pulp Alley solo campaign, to
try out that style of gaming, so will probably need some minis for that.
When
it comes to terrain I will continue to work through all the unpainted scatter
terrain I have lying about. I still have a couple of unfinished houses, but not
too much.
3D-printing
A
new printer is high up on the wish-list for 2018. I have my eyes set on the new
Prusa i3 Mk3. We’ll see what happens.
Other
I
hope to see some of you on Gothcon
this Easter. I’ll be there with the kids and will also have a participation
game of Sharp Practice with my
fellow Penguins.
If you want to game me (and a bunch of very nice chaps) on a
regular basis, then it’s a good idea to join Little Wars
Stockholm!
Have
a good 2018 and roll lots of dice!
