The upcoming Colonial Winter

I am sure a few of my regular followers are going to just love my Winter output. I am busy mid-prep but already I can let you in on my goals for the winter. I plan to complete my three favourite colonial period forces. I have Empress Miniatures Zulu war Brits Vs Warlord Plastic Zulus fasands of em (well 200 anyway), next up I have Perry Miniatures Sudan Brits Vs Perry Miniatures Plastic and metal Mahdists and finally I have Foundry Miniatures NWF Brit (plus colonial troops) Vs Foundry and Old Glory Tribesman. All these armies will be using the Black Powder rules so I have command stands and casualty marker to do also.
If that was not enough I have a load of Dark age Viking and Saxons, the last few French and Indian war figures and a SYW Hanoverian Brigade.




 

 

If I get all that done I have a few Oldhammer Dwarves to paint and some WW2 Para's

Should be fun, I wish all my fellow Wild Bunchers good luck and strong brush tips.

Peace James

EDIT** forgot my Zombicide Zombies and Survivors, plus the survivors I bought for my game :)

  2. Good luck. That's a lot to bite off. If I get about 100 25-28mm figures done by March, I'll call it success.

  9. Love that feeling at the start of the project - so much excitement and enthusiasm. It's that mid project feel of despair and disinterest that you have to deal with. The "cripes what the hell have I got myself into" vibe that is the biggest thing to get through. Good luck!

  17. A grand endeavor, James - and one that I am confident will be wonderful to behold. Looking at that Sudan period-poster, it would appear the British infantry uniform is very similar to the Zulu War one. Best, Dean
