2016 Year in Review

2016 saw me paint up 1,794 things.... 516 28mm-scale figures, 1095 15mm-scale figures, 197 10mm-scale figures, and 39 terrain pieces.

Malifaux: Sonnia Criid

Sonnia's box done, except for the totem, which will need some more work, but I don't plan to use it for a while so...

Dystopian Wars: Covenant of Antarctica Ground Units

Finishing off the DW CoA stuff I've had lying around for years is some of the ground units. 

FoW/Battlegroup: German Support Weapons

Pak 40, Light mortar, AT rifle, and two tripod MGs to round out some early and late support options for my Germans.

Dystopian Wars: Covenant of Antarctica Starter Fleet

Dystopian wars? Why am I painting that? Who knows. I preordered the upcoming new edition rulebook...maybe the game doesn't suck anymore? We'll see. Regardless the models are cool and had been sitting on the shelf unpainted too long.

Malifaux: Colette Box

Malifaux Colette crew. Fun fact - second time I've painted this crew up...had her in 1st edition metal as well several years ago.

Malifaux: Start of a Perdita Crew

Picked up three alt guild models from the black friday sale.

Dropfleet: Shaltari Reinforcements

Small ship is a Glass corvette conversion.

Malifaux: Rogue Necromancy

I have a very small Seamus/Rezzers crew, and found this guy at a 50% off sale, so it gives my rezzers a bit of punch.

Dropfleet: UCM Reinforcements

Another starter box worth of UCM support - one more troopship, two more carriers, two attack frigates, and two support frigates

Malifaux - The Crossroads Seven

A malifaux crew consisting of a band? Yes please!

Malifaux: Ramos Crew

Blood Bowl: Orcs

Blood Bowl: Skaven

Battlegroup: FoW Based Germans.

Some FoW stuff painted up for use in Battlegroup. Decided to go with FoW basing afterall.

Dropfleet Commander: PHR

Small PHR fleet done. All four fleets available for demos now.

Dropfleet Commander: Space Stations

I made eight space stations from one of the modular space station kits.

Dropfleet Commander: Shaltari

Third starter fleet done - after many failed paint schemes and repaints....Shaltari!

Dropfleet Commander: UCM and Scourge Reinforcements

Some more cruisers for my UCM and Scourge, as well as some launch assets (painted in the future Shaltari paint scheme of course).

Dropfleet Commander: Scourge Starter Fleet

More spaceships. Now of the Scourge variety.

Dropfleet: UCM Starter Fleet

First Dropfleet Commander fleet done - a small force to demo with for the UCM.

Battlegroup Normandy: German Infantry

Painted up some Germans to go up against the individually based Americans.

Tiny Americans - Battlegroup Normandy 15mm Rifle Platoon

15mm American Rifle Platoon individually based (mostly) for Battlegroup Normandy. A couple of the weapons teams I based FoW style since I wanted them together anyway.

Malifaux: Hamelin and Friends

Malifaux Hamelin and friends

DZC and Malifaux: Shaltari and Neverborn

Two Shaltari Crocodiles and some Neverborn Nephelim.

Malifaux: December Acolytes

Painting progress has come to a near halt (thanks world of warcraft expansion!), but I did manage to finish up a trio of December Acolytes for my Malifaux Rasputina crew.

Next up are some DZC Shaltari Crocodiles and some more Neverborn Nephelim.

Malifaux: Titania Box Set and Corpse/Scrap Markers

Painted up a new Malifaux crew, Titanias weird undead fae people, and a bunch of corpse and scrap markers as well.

Malifaux Arcanist Stuff and Lizardmen Terradon Riders

Crucial reinforcements across two different games. The Snowstorm will give my Malifaux Rasputina crew some much needed mobility, and the Ice Dancers will help with scenarios.

Kings of War/Age of Sigmar: Stegadon

Stegadon for KoW/AoS. Tried it out in the "slay the monster" scenario for AoS and it died before it's first turn. Hopefully it'll do better in KoW.

Wrath of Kings: Goritsi

Super quick paint job on some Wrath of Kings models I got for free at NOVA last year. It's an....ok....game, but I don't anticipate playing it much.

Kromlech WW2 German Orks

I guess I bought these for Konflict 47, but really I just wanted an excuse to build them.

Malifaux: Arcane Emissary and Rebased Rasputina Crew

DZC: PHR Reinforcements

Two of the new Menchits, two Heroes, and a Njord

DZC: Reinforcements

Quick DZC reinforments for UCM, Shaltari, and Resistance. Newest releases.

Antares: Outcast Rebel Creepers (Forgeworld Grot Tanks)

Some Forgeworld Grot tanks to be used for my Antares Outcast Creepers

Kings of War: Lizardmen Saurus Cavalry and (old) Carnosaur

Finished up a Carnosaur, and finished photographing the Saurus Cav. So this was intended as a KoW project, and I intended to put the Carosaur with the Saurus Cav to stand in as a unit of Ancients on Rhinosaurs. However, much like the skinks, they don't line up very well. If I elect to stick with the sqaure bases, I''ll just put 4 in the back row staggered between tails, but I may still opt for Age of Sigmar basing + custom movement trays to spread them out (and look better for AoS)

Photodump: GenCon 2016

No real order to these. First up, the Malifaux booth.

Malifaux: Angel Eyes and Friends

Painted up the Neverborn half of the two-player start set, since I found someone to split it with.

Kings of War: Skinks

So I painted these up over the past couple weeks for a Kings of War Lizardmen Salamanders army, but was waiting for the movement trays before photographing them. However, upon arrival, I found out they don't really rank up to well. I think I might explore the option of basing them on rounds (which are a big larger), for Age of Sigmar, and then try a custom movement tray that allows me to put the round bases on trays for Kings of War. But a rebasing project will be rough...so...we'll see.

Puppet Wars: Starter Crews

Painted up the suggested starter armies for the first edition version of Puppet Wars. I bought the full line at Historicon, so provided I can actually get some games in of this, I'll start working on the rest soon.

Malifaux - Von Schill Box

A quick impulse buy - Malifaux Von Schill crew. They actually came assembled and based, so just needed painting up.

I have also been painting a ton of Lizardmen, but waiting on movement trays before photographing them.

DZC: UCM Capital City Themed Terrain

Finished off two GIANT buildings for DZC. UCM capital city themed buildings. I think I'll add them to one of the 4Ground tables.

Historicon Loot Haul

Another Historicon comes and goes. I ended up bringing home a bunch of dirt cheap Warhammer stuff, as well as the old metal Puppet Wars game, some bargin bin FoW WW1, and a couple nicer hills to replace my basic foam ones.

Oh...and dinosaur dice. All the dinosaur dice I could get my hands on.

Final 15mm Game of Thrones Characters + Malifaux Seamus Crew Support

Finished off the banner bearers and a couple character figures for the 15mm Game of Thrones project, as well as some odd loose ends for my Malifaux Seamus crew.

40k/Antares Terrain: Barriers/Linear Obstacles

Painted up some 40k barriers for use in Antares and 40k. Gives some good linear obstacle terrain.

Malifaux: Pandora Box Set

Impulse buy. More binging on malifaux to come soon.

Gates of Antares: Orks and Gretchin as Outcasts

Painted up some 40k Orks and Grots. Intend to use these in a Gates of Antares Outcast army. The Meganobz will be Ghar Suits and everyone else will be Outcasts.

15mm KoW: Tons of Starks and Baratheons

Finished off a ton pretty much everything for the 15mm Game of Thrones Kings of War project.  Due to my assembly line painting, everything finished at once. All I have left is five individual characters, and they are painted - just waiting for bases to arrive. 

Gates of Antares: Concord X-Howitzer

Heavy support for the Concord....

15mm KoW: Stark and Baratheon Cavalry

Finished off the cavalry for the 15mm KoW project. 

Three units of Mounted Sergeants for the Starks.

Two units of Mounted Sergeants for the Baratheons.

Three units of Mounted Scouts for the Baratheons.
