2017 Gaming Year in Review

All in all, this year saw less painted stuff than 2016 - 994 things. The vast majority (943 of them) was 28mm figs, which is a change from last year's 15mm domination. The year can most be summarized with the return of Warhammer 40k. The "new" edition has a lot of local players returning to the game, so I figured I'll follow suit.

Mid-Late December Painting Progress - Harlequins, Orks, Tau, and Krieg

December as seen very little gaming time, but quite a lot of painting. Churned out a crapton of Orks this month, and started a new Tau project.

Started with some Harlequins

Late Nov/Early Dec Painting Progress

Finished off the Krieg and a couple small random projects.

November Painting Stuff

Still have a difficult time uploading pictures to Blogger, so updates are few and far between.

Most of my time has been spent working on this Death Korps of Krieg army.

Malifaux: Start of a Kirai crew

Returning to my original Malifaux faction, Ressers....with the start of a Kirai crew.

Shadespire: Core Set

Core set for Warhammer Underworlds: Shadespire

40k: Phantom Titan

Finally painted this Phantom Titan I've had lying around for years. I might go back and do some more detail work later, but for now it's table worthy, if I ever play a 2500+ game!

40k: Chaos Sorcerer and Demon Prince

Chaos Sorcerer with Wings (Jump Pack) and a Demon Prince

40k: GSC Taurox Primes

40k and Infinity

My phone hasnt been syncing photos to my computer recently, so I havent been able to upload pictures in a while. Anyone know a good phone app that works with blogger?

Infinity USAriadna starter

AOS: Alarielle

40k: Primaris Lizardmen with Heavy Weapons

40k: Skitari Rangers

Eight basic Skitari rangers. No special weapons...missing bits for those...

40k: Ad Mech Dunecrawler and Kastellan Robots

40k: Kataphron Destroyers

AoS and Malifaux: Ork Maw Krusha and Alt Hungering Darkness

40k and Malifaux Reinforcements

Two characters so I can now make a technically legal Ad Mech army, as well the promo Miss Deed and presale The Jury from GenCon

40k: Skitari Walkers

40k and Malifaux: Earthshaker Batteries and Alt Nekima

Got some broken basilisks at GenCon...figured just the guns would be great for the Earthshaker batteries from the Forgeworld index. Also the alt sculpt Nekima.

40k: Guard Tempestus Scions

Two squads of Scions

40k: Celestine and Greyfax

40k: Baneblade

40k: Salamanders

40k/AoS: Slaanesh Chariot

Continuing with the random models I found in storage....

More Misc 40k: Burning Chariot and Tech Priest

Misc Stuff: Ork Dakkajet, Leman Russ, 6mm Pirate Ships

40k: Chaos Emperor's Children Rhino and Space Wolf Razorback

Clearing out some half-finished projects that have been sitting around...a SW razorback that I rescue from a swap meet (and still had to buy replacement tracks for...shoulda just bought new...) and a chaos rhino with the forgeworld emperor's children doors...

40k: GSC Neophyte Heavy and Special Weapons

Some special and heavy weapons for the neophytes

GSC: Leman Russ, Another Sentinel, and 16 Shotguns

Magnetized all the options on the Leman Russ, but only painted up the Bolters, Lascannon, Punisher Cannon, and Demolisher Cannon. Keeping the rest on sprue until I decide to use them. Also two mostly complete squads of shotgun neophytes...will fill the rest of the squads with flamers when I can find the bits.

Historicon - Loot Haul

40k: Genestealers, Cult Sentinel

Pack of 10 actual Genestealers for my Nids and Genestealer Cults, along with a Sentinel walker for the Cult.

40k: GSC Neophytes, Trucks, and Rockgrinder

Another 10 Neophytes, 2 Trucks, and a Rock Grinder

40k: Start of a New Army - Genestealer Cults/Guard

My next project is Genestealer Cults, doing head swaps so make them a bit a more humanoid so I can use them as Imperial Guard as well. Here's the first batch of 10.

Malifaux: Lady Justice Box

40k: Primaris Space Wolves

Primaris marines from the starter. Still working on the assault guys...they're painted but these flight stands...urgh...

40k: Objectives

I labeled several of them 1-6 for the objective card missions. I'll probably base the servitor and operation table onto one piece. Not super practical objectives for games, but they look super cool!

40k: Ork Dakkajet

Random Ork flyer

40k: Space Wolves - Dread, Wolf Lord, Long Fangs

Acquired a bunch of second hand heavy weapon marines that I assembled to give me a couple squads of Long Fangs, as well as a Wolf Lord on a Thunderwolf with Wolf Claws (lol...) and another melee dread.

40k: Space Wolves Bjorn

Not sure if this guy is either amazing and will kill everything, or horrible and way to expensive..only time will tell! Assault cannon is unglued to swap out weapon options...stays in just fine without magnets!

40k: Space Wolves Dread and Wulfen

Another squad of 5 Wulfen and a Dread

AoS: Stormcast Monster Thing

Finished this guy from the starter set. Had some serious issues with assembly...had to green stuff a couple major gaps. Not sure what I screwed up of it was just a bad kit.

AOS: Stormcast Eternals

Split a starter box on impulse with a buddy. Painted up most of it...just have the big monster rider left, but I had some serious issues assembling it...

I opted for basically the book scheme so it will match my Kharadrons, so I can ally them...

40k: Ork Killa Kans

40k: Ork Lootas and Warboss

Starting to rebuild my Ork army for 40k. Thanks swap meet!

Battlegroup: Crusaders and Support

Three platoons of Crusader IIs, an extra command Crusader, a Matilda 2, and a Humber 2.

40k: Grey Knights for SWA

A quick Grey Knight team for Shadow War Armageddon

Runewars: Undead Expansion Packs

 Runewars expansion packs: Undead Archers and Infantry Command Units
