Vacation Means Workshop of Doom Fun!

Well fair readers of the old Blog, it's been a really busy couple of years for the Leadaddict. Between Coaching Football, Being a Football Parent, selling my business, huge demands at work, and an incredibly busy family life, there ain't been many candles burned in the old Workshop of Doom.

But I am here to tell you, the ole addict is gonna have some time to hit this thing right. Starting tomorrow I am on vacation til January 4th. And beside all of my family and friend commitments and the holiday, this old grognard is gonna paint and build armies and terrain. I can't wait. Here's what's on the block to be worked on. A nice mix of old and new:

Frostgrave

I have gotten all of the Frostgrave stuff from the first two Nickstarters and have been working on terrain, so I am looking forward to finishing some ruins and knocking out some warbands.

Since Dragon Rampant is coming out soon, I need to get some armies ready for that. I have Undead mostly done, generic human medieval (bretonnians) mostly done, and a couple of units of Dwarves started. Need to get a full complement of High Elves and Dwarves finished.

A couple of us Basement Generals have agreed to dust off our Necromunda and play some this winter, I have 3 gangs done, time to dust off the unpainted ones and paint them up and have more options and base paint my terrain.

And as the Baron and I get ready for our Fistful of Lead: Wasteland Warriors Kickstarter, time to paint some more figs and finish more have finished terrain.

And I continue to lust after Onslaughts Epic figs. So I may put in a small notTau order and have some 6mm fun as well.

Ambitious. Yes, But as I get back into the swing of things, I wanted to limit my choices, but have a variety I would enjoy. So If I get a unit form each category I'll be happy. We shall see...

Best wishes and Merry Christmas to all

I always forget how much fun the Post Apoc scenery is. I love it every time. I feel like I want to move on with something else now. But, I have more scatter and barrels ready to go. An industrial storage tank and a ruined building that are all ready for paint. I also have a town square garden/village green piece that needs to be completed as well. And I wonder, what happens to all the cemeteries after the Apocalypse? Hmmm.

I put my Spanish Nappies on the painting table last night as a decision of how to move forward. I may have to hurry and paint a division of them so I can get back to this. 

As ususal Happy Apocalypse!!!!





And the Post Apoc goes on, and on, and on...

More Post apoc goodness gentle readers from the holiday weekend here in the States.

I am working on a bunch of cover and atmospheric stuf(crates, containers, etc) a storage tank, pipe farm. I also have a town square area (12" x 24") that is mostly built but needs to be paited. As Recruits approaches. I need to square away my game in addition to doing the last terrain pieces. Lots to do. Getting ready for the con always gets a burst of production done for me.

Happy Apocalypse!
