The real challenge

I have a goal. Gamesday.

Build and paint an army by Gamesday ready for a game.

The army is similar to the one below, but just to clarify here it is again:

- Company Command Squad in Chimera

- Platoon (Command, 5 Squads, 2 heavy weapons squads)

- Vet Squad in Chimera

- 3 Leman Russes

- Hydra

- 3 Sentinels

So, I work that out to be painting 88 models in 105 days. Not too much of a challenge. Hmm.

Will keep this updated.

First Steps

At the risk of making posting regular here I am again.

Just to report the first steps along the route of my Infantry Platoon for the 117th.

Have built two squads and the mortar squad.

Not much, but it is progress.

Pictures when more is finished.

A goal has been set.

A new year as arrived. I feel the need to focus my efforts with my hobby. Too much indecisiveness and flitting between one new thing and another. I want an army that is complete.

I have set myself a goal for the year.

I want to produce at least one 1,000 point army. I also want to produce a kick-ass gaming table.

So, what do I do? To start with everything that is not focused on my current project is packed away. I can only see my current project.

So what is it? Well, the Tallarn 117th (the blog's namesake) will be featuring. I am planning a 1,000 point guard army. Based around infantry.

881st Cadian Regiment, 2nd Infantry Company, 1st Platoon.
