<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I picked up a couple of things while I was at Cancon, not much of a haul, but like I said the inspiration just wasn't there, anyway, as you can see I picked up the rule set Lion Rampant, have only heard good things thus far, so I look forward to trying this rule set out in the future, also picked up a few paint pots from Vallejo for an upcoming project, there is also a 15mm Ogre for my D&D project, which will feature in the next few posts, my D&D project that is, and finally also did a bit of an impulse buy, a 15mm mythological Hydra which marks the start of a new project based in Greek mythology, I am particularly excited about that project because I am of Greek descent, and have grown up reading the myths, I have already ordered some Greek hoplites from <a href="http://www.scotiagrendel.com/Xyston/" target="_blank">Xyston Miniatures</a> who are the bees knees for all things ancient in 15mm, will post more on these items as I complete them.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So Cancon came around again this year (what a great way to start the year), it always occurs on the Australia Day Weekend 24-26th, my brother and I made the trip from Melbourne to Canberra via hire car and stayed at a local hotel, the weather was awesome 30 degree days for all the days we were there, cant really ask for more than that, of course I took some pics so that you all could experience it as well, enjoy.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have got to say I was a little disapointed this time around the show felt very unorganized, with a lot of areas merged with little to no signage, to tell the different areas apart, they had a tornaments area with some participation games tagged onto the end and they had more participation games blotched through out adjoined to some of the sellers area, there also didn't seem like there were much in the way of participation games, with a lot of the big titles missing.... no Saga (Cross and Cres), no Skirmish Sangin etc... There was only one canteen in operation which meant that it took 10mins at least to get anything to eat or drink, Overall it seems to me that the crowds grew but the show didn't, I sure hope there are improvements made, I did still enjoy it, but changes are needed.</span>The Extraordinariihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17677851630585684035noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433881592782317345.post-56285311846734884882015-01-16T23:52:00.000-08:002015-01-16T23:52:38.271-08:00WILD WEST CHARACTERS<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As stated in my previous post, this time around I have more Wild West cowboys, but this time they are sculpted in the likeness of known characters, some fictional characters but others are based on real life legends of the Old West, going from left to right, Calamity Jane, Wild Bill Hickok, The Man with No Name and Billy the kid, did anyone recognize any of them before I listed them?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Calamity Jane</b>, Real name was Martha Jane Canary, she was mostly known for her association with Wild Bill Hickok and for her unusual Job as a professional Scout for the Military, there is a lot of controversy as to how she acquired her nickname and her alleged obsession with Wild Bill, truth or lie the one thing we know for sure is that she was and is a Wild West Legend.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<b style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">' Wild Bill' Hickok</b><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, Real name was James Butler Hickok, Lawman, Gunfighter and Gambler, his gun skills and reputation as a lawman helped to create the Legend of 'Wild Bill', His exploits are to many to mention here but they include but are not limited to, fighting for and spying for the Union Army during the American Civil War, Army Scout and marksman in General Custers's 7th Cavalry, Failed actor and a Lawman in some of the most lawless US Territories of the time, Wild Bill was involved in many notable Shootouts, and it was a well known fact that his reputation alone was enough to diffuse a drunk angry man and if that didn't work he usually would end up shooting them. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>The Man With No Name</b>, this is a fictional character played by actor Clint Eastwood in director Sergio Leonie's spaghetti western movies, the character portrays an Old West Bounty Killer (Bounty Hunter) cool, calm and collected who during the course of the three movies gets up to a whole lot of shooting, these movies are a must see.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>Billy The Kid</b>, Real name was William H Bonney, Made a name for himself as a Wild West Outlaw, possessing good skill with firearms, it is said that he killed more than twenty people, claiming his first kill as a gunman at the age of just 17yrs, this is one angry young man.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I hope everyone had a great break over the holidays and I am hoping everyone has a safe and prosperous New Year 2015 filled full of hobby related fun.*raises a beer in the air*</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you all know I haven't done much on the blog for about a year or so, which of course doesn't mean that I haven't been busy painting and terrain making, so I guess I am saying that I'm back and eager to get stuck back into the blogging side of things this year.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think in Feb of 2014 I got the Wild West bug back again and painted another ten or so Wild West miniatures and did some work on a Wild West town, three of which I have on display for you today, the first two guys going left to right will be another two Pinkerton guys specializing in the field of personnel protection, being hired as body guards for a Saloon owner or maybe a town banker, the last guy on the right is the first of many town folk who will inhabit my slowly growing but small Wild West town, which can be seen in the back ground, more on the town in another post.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">That is it for this time around, coming up next I have Old West Celebrities. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As some of you know I have had D&D on the agenda since my post (<a href="http://leadwarriors.blogspot.com.au/search/label/Dnd%20Fantasy" target="_blank"> LINK</a>) back in August 2011, wanting to recapture some old school fantasy action, I couldn't pass up the chance to purchase the limited edition Gygax memorial premium covered version of the AD&D 1st edition core rule books, which includes the players handbook, monster manual and the dungeon masters guide, all beautifully bound in a modern contemporary but yet still old school cover. the only real difference between the originals and this version is basically the covers, which have been modernized, internally the rule set is word for word, written in mono tone, nothing added just like the originals.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Between BD&D (basic, red box) and AD&D 1e there is no other version of D&D that I have played the most, I have played other versions, recently D&D 4e, but these two versions I enjoy the most and share the most memories with, of all the versions of D&D I think that AD&D 1e is the one true version, most of the other versions were either too basic, not yet matured enough or over cooked with way too many unnecessary features added on, this is of course only my opinion, I guess we all have our opinions right ?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi all, back again after a bit of an unforeseen break (sorry bout that), continuing on with the wild west theme, I have put together a wagon, buck board and a doctors buggy, scale wise these are 15/18mm and are all from </span><span style="color: red; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><a href="http://www.bluemoonmanufacturing.com/" target="_blank">Blue Moon Manufacturing</a><span style="color: #cccccc;">, all of these will be just obstacles and cover for the many warring cowboy factions that will inhabit my terrain, enjoy...</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The buckboard was a basic four wheeled wagon of simple construction, usually drawn by a horse, a very iconic form of transport in the wild west, it received its name via the front most board which protects the driver from the horse's hooves if it was to 'buck'.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi again everyone, another building is completed for my wild west town, an important building, every town has to have a place where the local law resides right? well this is my Sheriff's office, a nice enough building me thinks, with this building I tried to use more natural tones as far as colour goes and used less facade decorations, a sheriff's office should look more modest, I think it turned out nice, I also ordered some trees, tufts and accessories for the landscaping of the town, this project is coming along nicely.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi everyone, adding another building to my slowly growing wild west town, this time it is a partially complete town building, an old west construction zone if you will, the building is still at frame stage, the flooring is laid out and most walls have been erected, it comes complete with a ladder, cutting horses and a pile of wooden planks, this building was quite easy to put together and so simple in design, but it comes across very effective visually, a nice piece in my opinion.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And so begins the process of Building my Wild West Town in 15/18mm, I don't know what this building does to contribute to this town but if you forced me to make something up, I would probably say that it will end up being a drug store, I have already organised signage but I haven't made a final decision just yet, this building is probably one of the smaller buildings that I will put together, it is one of about ten buildings that will make up my wild west town.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I finally finished my first outlaw gang for my Wild West Project, fellow Blogger Zabadak, cleverly refered to them as 'Los Panuelos Rojos' loosely translated as 'The Red Neckerchiefs' I kinda liked the name and so it has stuck, they number 9 in total and have a mix of weapons, sawn off shotgun, six shooters and a couple of rifles, the local lawmen had better watch out...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The only other miniatures I added to the group are the two in the foreground, the leader of the 'Los Panuelos Rojos' and one of his underlings, take note that the leader Carrys twin ivory handled pistolas, has a bit of a gut, but is still a lowdown good for nuthin son of a la perra, even though the group kinda looks the same, this was done on purpose, I wanted them to be easily identified in battle, I think they turned out real nice, hope you like them.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Moving forward again with my Wild West Project, I painted some more Cowboys, these guys belong to the same cowboy gang as the outlaws I painted in a previous post (Go </span><a href="http://leadwarriors.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/outlaws.html" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">HERE</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> to view that post), I painted them in similar tones and colours with all of them having a red neckerchief to link them together, this brings the gangs members to a total of seven men, I want to add at least a couple more to the total which will make these guys a force to be reckoned with, they have a mix of revolvers and rifles. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As with all my Wild West miniatures they are from Bluemoon and are 15/18mm in scale. whats up next ? I will paint up the remainder of this gang, and then I will paint up a group of bounty killers (Hunters), you may even recognise some of them, well see.</span><br />

<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have some more cowboys to show off today, continuing in the theme of 'Officers of the Court', I have four more frontier lawmen to show you, two Texas Rangers, a Sheriff and a Pinkerton agent, all good guys I suppose...... Right ? </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib9CeDH6iTsV1XXNXf_1DHc2C0RyE21WCxX5op168RG90kCdv5fwwHKNrIeq0tihEG1t_5jSNaDeDbuGW0VzJZ7gWdUqjolOmmHHbjx7SVxZKWOCl3jRu8LiedB1zgIyNqencHOEfH3aI/s1600/DSC00604.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib9CeDH6iTsV1XXNXf_1DHc2C0RyE21WCxX5op168RG90kCdv5fwwHKNrIeq0tihEG1t_5jSNaDeDbuGW0VzJZ7gWdUqjolOmmHHbjx7SVxZKWOCl3jRu8LiedB1zgIyNqencHOEfH3aI/s320/DSC00604.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, Texas Rangers, these guys were Officers of the court, who had a state wide Jurisdiction in Texas, they performed duties such as murder investigation, political corruption, the tracking down of fugitives, and various other duties, the Texas Rangers are one of the oldest law enforcement agencies in the United states, these miniatures will work very nicely in a scenario I have planned, these particular rangers are well dressed in their town gear.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I also have on show tonight a local sheriff, his jurisdiction is only County wide, the word sheriff comes from the old english term 'shire reeve', a designated royal official responsible for keeping the peace (a "reeve") throughout a shire or county on behalf of the king, how many of you knew that ?? cause I didn't... the sheriff is the guy with the grey hat.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Finally, I also painted a Pinkerton agent, the Pinkerton agency was a security guard and detective agency, basically official guns for hire, they did work ranging from basic detective work to presidential guard duty, the work was not always above board, surprise surprise, business men once hired them as a goon squad in an attempt to intimidate striking workers, the agency is still in existence today as private military contractors.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So its been a little while since I posted anything, which doesn't mean I haven't been doing any painting or gaming, but to be fair to all the followers of this blog I had better post something up as I haven't yet made my quota for this month.... so here goes.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So more on the Wild West front, after my last post I did say that I was working on Lawmen next and Lawmen it is, I have painted up four well dressed Local US Marshals, could they be the Earps? maybe, and in some games probably... I will definitely use them as the Earps in one game, maybe the guy with the shotgun could pass as Doc Holiday ? offering up support for his friends, I suppose some off them could also pass as Mormons ?? either way these minis turned out real nice, they painted easy and are well posed for some gunslinging action, they are part of the </span><a href="http://www.bluemoonmanufacturing.com/index.php?cat_id=32" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bluemoon range</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> of Old West 15/18mm minis. thats it for today you can expect somemore post in the next few days, maybe even tomorrow !</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have been dual posting about my Mad Max Car Wars project on this blog and also on the <a href="http://forums.sjgames.com/forumdisplay.php?f=23" target="_blank">Steve Jackson Car Wars forum</a> and have had a few requests to post some of my other car counters that I have squeezed out of photoshop for use at home with my Car Wars game, so as a response I thought I would make a quick post to exhibit some of the different vehicles I have made in the past, there are others but this should be a good lot of samples, since printing them I have noticed a few areas that can be improved on, for example some of the colours are not quite right, glass glare going over vehicle roofs and even car proportions are a little out, anyway all this can be fixed, </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">please enjoy, all comments are welcomed and if you would like to see a specific vehicle as a Car Wars counter please post it in the comments section, if my skill is upto it I'll have a crack at it. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Well, I have been working feverishly on these Mad Max Car counters, going back and forth from my dvd movie copy making sure that the representation was as acurate as possible, adding as much detail as was worth adding, I think I like redesigned them like four times or something lol, it was fun trying to recreate them as Car Wars counters and trying to make them as acurate as I could, I think they turned out alright, I did a test print of them and placed an actual Car Wars counter next to them and couldn't tell the difference quality wise, I think I impressed my self Hahaha.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So basically I desgined all the MFP vehicles, Big Bopper, March Hare, Max's MFP Interceptor and the Nightrider's Pursuit Special, for the rest of the vehicles that will play a role in the scenario I will use standard Car Wars counters, this includes Gosling 1 and all of Toecutters motorcycle gang, truth be told I actually started these counters a couple of years ago, so most of the foundational work in photoshop had already been done, I just made them better graphically, and added some more authentic detail, redid the colours a bit so they printed a little more vibrant (they were a little dark before) and I touched up some of the striping, so yeah, there you have it. FYI I based the MFP vehicles off some actual Ford Falcon blueprints, can you get anymore authentic than that ? Hahaha I think not.</span><br />

<br /><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Continuing on with my Mad Max themed Car Wars Project, I made a start on the terrain, after much deliberation I decided to make a mixture of both paper terrain and actual modeling terrain, traditionally, Car Wars is played on grided paper that was originally supplied within a boxed set or as part of an expansion set that you could buy in addition to a boxed set, this is how I remember Car Wars and for me this holds a certain romance, so I wanted to incorporate it into this project but also wanted to give it a modern vibe, I dont know If it will work the way I want it too, but I am willing to give it a go, fingers crossed.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, the way I thought that it would work best was that I would set it up in a modular tile fashion, as they progress up the highway you take the last tile and flip it to the front kinda like 'leap frogin' this would go on until the scenario was resolved, being happy with the mechanics of it, I went to a hardware store and purchased eight 300 x 300mm MDF tiles, 6mm thick to keep away any bowing or flexing, this next bit was fairly easy, I centered the paper roads then glued them down flat, using wood glue, pretty simple but I think it looks effective so far, the next part is going to be the fun part, detailing the terrain, I will report back when I have done some more, thats all for now. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So, what does a fella like me do when its too hot to paint? Breakout my fave Board game of course! Car Wars, published by <a href="http://www.sjgames.com/store/" target="_blank">Steve Jackson Games</a> all the way back in the eighty's (where is that Hot tub time machine gone ?), it is a game based sometime in the future where civilization as we know it has kinda broken down and Auto duelling is a way of life, you may or may not remember this game, but either way it was my favorite board game as I was growing up, getting back to this game was always on the cards but fortune smiles on me once more, because that time has arrived. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As the title of this post suggests I will be doing Car Wars with a Mad Max theme, infact, my first game of Car Wars will be based on the car chase scene from the first Mad Max movie, rules wise I will be using a combination of the Car Wars Compendium 2.5 rules and the rules found in an article of the 'Autoduel Quarterly' the official Car Wars Magazine, the article was called 'Chassis and Crossbow : Low-Tech Autoduelling, they are a classic set of rules that were almost made for Mad Max gaming (with minimal modifying), I will design some game counters and terrain and report back to this blog regularly with updates, eventually culminating in a battle report, this should not take me long to put together (I've heard those words before...). </span>The Extraordinariihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17677851630585684035noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6433881592782317345.post-32582960146290628332013-02-16T00:58:00.002-08:002013-02-16T00:58:44.843-08:00MEXICANS<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Expanding on my Wild West theme, I have some Mexicans for show, the top two will most likely turn out to be either Mexican Bounty Killers or just plain no good for nothing Mexican Outlaws, the mexican in the lower picture will be a mini someone can play or a player mini, these guys are armed with an assortment of guns, a spencer carbine, dual .45 colt single action revolvers and a std six shooter, as with most of my wild west minis I will probably stick to brown earthy colour tones with an occasional splash of colour I hope you like these fellas as I think they turned out OK.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hello everyone, my latest offering is an add on for my 15/18mm US Cavalry troop, he is an Apache US Army scout, recruited for his specialist skill in tracking and spotting, he is dressed in standard US Army gear, Blue army jacket and red bandanna, he also wears his traditional Apache gear from the waist down, this scout is armed with a big bore Buffalo rifle.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These latest figures are an off shoot of my American Indian Plains War Project, they are basically going to be Wild West Cowboys of differing types, that I will use in various scenarios for my Plains War Project, so, first off the production line are an outlaw gang and or bank robbers, maybe even stage coach robbers.... either way they will be used with or in addition to my US Cav, I will also paint up some Lawmen, Mexicans (if I can find anymore), a gang of Johnny Rebs, Bounty Killers (hunters), Ranchers<span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"> </span>and of course regular Cowboys as well as more outlaws, hope you like... </span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These turns see both warbands start to move towards one another <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">while the skirmishers</span> attempt to finish each other off, the Angle skirmisher (top of pic) sees the Saxon warband move slowly forward and decides to retreat a little, while the archers turn their attention to the incoming warbands, the Angle archer fires at the Saxon warband, bypassing a ceorl's shield and penetrating his right thigh, this injury slows the Saxon down to half speed, as he winces in pain, the Saxon archer also fires but into the oncoming Angle warband, unfortunately not getting any further than the fronts of their shields, in the meanwhile the Saxon skirmisher (bottom of pic) with seax in hand is charging the injured Angle skirmisher, he finally gets to his intended target, and in the ensuing struggle he manages to add another abdominal wound to the Angle, but it seems that he just doesn't want to die... </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The inevitable finally happens, both warbands finally clash in a violent bloody mess,</span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">in one round alone 7 people were either killed in action or were put out of the fight, some notable deaths include a spear to the throat, a hand axe to the head and an axe to the collar bone, slowly but surely the Angles start to run out of troops, by turn 9 the Angle standard bearer takes a two handed axe to the shoulder which collapes him to the ground in a bloody mess, the two Local Lords finally face off but come out evenly matched and the Angle Lord then looks around him and of his 6 men that still were standing 3 of them were heavily injured, so he calls a retreat, and gives the victory to the Saxons.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Saxons managed to capture the Angle battle standard and either kill or injury most of the Angles, it wasn't all bad for the Angles though, as one of their Thegns killed three Saxons all by himself, it was a fun little encounter and a good way to test the core combat mechanics of my homegrown rule set, there were no formations used, or any battle tactics that resembled how they fought in the </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Dark Ages, it was purely a test to see how realistic the projectile and hand to hand combat felt, it turned out ok, it was fast, bloody and fairly well balanced, but there is still much tweaking to be done, thats all for now, more later. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi Everyone, Firstly I just want to say <span style="color: #cc0000;">HAPPY NEW YEAR</span> to everyone, and a big thanks to everyone that follows, reads and or comments on my blog, I've had a bit of a break from the hobby as i'm sure you'll have noticed, life kinda got in the way there for a few months, ah well what can you do but roll with it, i've been on holidays for the last two weeks (nothing like a break to recharge your batteries), and of course I got the urge to get stuck back into the hobby, so I took the opportunity to finish off my 7th Cav troop, basically I based them and sealed them, In my last post concerning them I had only painted them but not based or sealed them, (<a href="http://leadwarriors.blogspot.com.au/search/label/US%20Cavalry" target="_blank">Old Post</a>) I'm not that into the complex basing I much prefer my bases to be plain, as you can see, hope you all like them.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">So, 2013... what plans do I have? well thats an easy one for me, I have so many projects on the go that one of my aims will be to not start any more new ones ! and to try my best to finish some of my exsisting projects, my main focus being my Dark ages project, Tusk Project and my American Indian Plains war project, I want to finish one or more of those projects, my other goal for this year is to have my friends over more often for some gaming, this is a must, this is why we labour for so long painting and prepping our projects right? my final goal is to play a few solo games and get some more batreps up on this blog.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">GOAL RECAP</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">1) Start NO new projects, but finish one or more exsisting projects.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2) Have friends over for more gaming nights.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">3) Play and blog some solo games.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So I have finally finished some terrain, in the past I have called this my Tusk Terrain, but realistically I think its better suited as a generic open field for any project that suits it, whether its a couple of Greek phalanxes facing off or a couple of Dark age warbands either way the terrain will work nicely, now design wise, the terrain has a dirt road starting from the bottom left corner making its way to the top right where it splits around a hilltop, it also has small concentrations of pine trees in opposite corners, with a few field rocks scattered around, aswell as small clumps of grass to break up the open field, this terrain shall make for a good </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">place where a couple of armies can meet and fight man to man. </span><br />
