The Wild Bunch last few days till launch

Well I like many of my fellow Wild Bunchers am champing at the bit to get started on my challenge figures. I managed to add a last order to Perry miniatures this week for a bit more Madhist Cav and Camels. This was due to the very good new that my daughter her had her contract at work extended so I no longer had to hold back some money to cover her rent (if needed). I should see those in the post tomorrow and get them prepped up for Sunday.


I am very much looking forward to getting some great Colonial gaming done in 2014.
below is a rough list of what I plan to paint over the next three months:
NWF:
Gurkhas (Foundry)
Guides (Foundry)
Sikhs (Foundry)
Black Watch (Foundry)
Gattling and screw guns (Foundry)
Bengal Lancers (Foundry)
Guide Cav (Foundry)
Tribesmen (Foundry & Old Glory)

Sudan:
Naval Brigade (Perry Miniatures)
Black Watch (Perry Miniatures)
Egyption Inf (Perry Miniatures)
Camel Corp Mtd&Foot (Perry Miniatures)
19th Hussars (Perry Miniatures)
Gattling Gun (Perry Miniatures)
Madhist warriors (Perry Miniatures)
Madhist Camels (Perry Miniatures)
Madhist Cav (Perry Miniatures)

Zulu War:
3 x Infantry Units (Empress Miniatures)
1 x Marines (Foundry)
NNC foot and Mounted (Empress Metal and Warlord Plastics)
Zulus (a few :) ) (Warlord Plastics)

Dark Age:
Saga Anglo-Danes (Gripping Beast)
Viking (rather a lot) (GB Plastics)
Viking (not as many) (Foundry)
Dux B Saxon Force (GB Plastic)

SYW:
Hussars (Foundry)
Lancers (Foundry)
Hanoverian Inf (Front Rank)

F&IW:
Indians (Warlord/Conquest)
Canadian (Conquest)
Civies (Foundry/Conquest)

I have a load of other odd figures like my Samurai and Cowboys that will see paint if all above is completed.

I will try and post pictures each day of the challenge so watch this space.

    Your picture reminds me of the dyslexic Satanist who sold his soul to Santa!

    That's quite a list!

    James, I wish you well with the challenge; the competition is fierce, but I've seen what you can do with lots of minis in a short time. Good luck!

    I have continued to paint and will put the last touches on some figures in the next hour but after that I am guessing it's just going to be me basing figures that were already painted

    Not long now and I have a game Friday night so I guess I can last out to the start

    Great list but I really liked the poster. I have a bumper sticker along the same vein that says: 'Dog is my Co-pilot' :)

    Your list puts mine to shame! Not only in quantity, but also in focus. Mine is all sorts of everything in multiple scales. I sincerely wish you luck as I would love to be able to stay on one topic/project for longer than a week.

    Brilliant list I look forward to seeing it come alive.
