It followed up to get out of everyone’s arc, but the steel behemoth just finished it off with shooting (it did help that I rolled double six on the nerve test, twice!).
Finished the dungeon saga scenary (from the original game plus some extras). Technically I have a few other bits and pieces floating about. Here is a photo of all my dungeon saga stuff lined up to make me feel good about myself!
/Cheers! You did it @screamingaddabs !! Looking great! And you not only finished the whole Dungeon Saga Box, including furniture, but the expansion and some extra pieces as well! Kudos! Already makes me go back to Dungeon Saga myself … But … so much to do, so little time …
Thanks! Sight correction… some of the expansion! I still have a few doors and some treasure chests that seem to have lost their lids, plus the rest of the abyssals…
It was strange, I hated painting the furniture stuff and put it away until one day I really fancied doing some simple stuff with a clear end point, and really enjoyed it. I now really don’t fancy the extra doors or abyssals. Hopefully one day soon I suddenly will!
Well first expansion complete would actually be my next goal as well; i ve got the main game and Valador expansion in German (my native language) as well and if my kid ever decises to give it a go he’ll get the whole painted miniature set … but that will be while
For the other expansions my lil one will have to learn English
Hot on the heels of my DS success, I have finished the basilean warband (plus dungeon saga extras) for vanguard. They were a joy but have taken 8 months, which shows how slow I paint!
Deadzone starter set (two 150 point armies)
Centaur Chief, bray hunter and bray strider
Thegn on Frostfang
Goblin Snaggit
Enforcer 100 point team (from the heavy weapons set)
Some progress on Dungeon saga scenery Basileans! Dungeon Saga Scenary
Still to go:
Finish Abyssals for DS
Dwarf warband
Bought Magwa and J’os so need to do them… A metric sh*t tonne of Enforcers I got eff ebay for cheaps Veer-Myn tunnel runner, proginators, night terrors and Thorn Mazon Labs from Star Saga Star Saga Scenary Abyssal Warband that I got for cheaps off ebay
Looks like I need to stop buyng anything for a while! So that’s one addition for me “No more models!”
To give me some focus for the rest of the year I will be prioritising some of the above and going with what I fancy doing, my cut-down list until the end of the year is:
Finish Abyssals for DS
Some Dwarves (but not all!) - probably enough for a warband
Magwa and J’os
Veer-Myn tunnel runner, proginators, night terrors and Thorn
Gradually accumulate some enforcers
I’ve found having this thread really useful for focussing my hobby time and seeing everyone else’s progress has been inspiring too!
They look great @screamingaddabs ! And you’re really managing to make me feel guilty for still having those laying around in a box as well … dang!
I went all in with the Vanguard Kickstarter back in the day and also picked up a full Dungeon Saga Kickstarter off of Ebay sometime ago. … But I really wanna get some more of my Elf army done before I go dig into that. (There’s also those boxes of Undead Stuff and some Deadzone boxes waiting on the shelf … )
But seeing your Dungeon Saga and Vanguard stuff is really great motivation to finally (eventually? ) ) get around to doing it myself !
You need to get your list of stuff by the end of the year up here! Your elves are ridiculously good, it’d be great to see your version of dungeon saga and vanguard warbands!
I think the deadzone/firefight miniatures have really helped me improve my skills at finding a workable colour scheme that i can paint quickly. The strider and the spaceship are both basically 3 colours (blue, pink, and metallic violet) but I’m really happy with how they came out!
It’s now November and i have avoided doing bullet point 1 (yes, there could still be time if i went crazy!).
Not done 2nd one, but have got games in outside of tournaments
6 different armies used, all from scratch, often at events so success isn’t a massive marker for me.
Bonus points:
Meeting guys who say nice things about a army previously only seen in really horrible pics on fb!
Getting the odd best painted vote in a couple of events with seriously tough crowds is great (they must like brown )
Not coming last, even though i had no real idea how to use some of the armies!
Next up:
Ambush seems a perfect excuse to build small armies i don’t have!
If you build too many Ambush armies, that might conflict with point 1!
Perhaps simply don’t call them done until next year…
As for my own goals:
Four Dragons list is almost ready to run I just have to actually play it. Next month maybe?
Sylvan Kin 2k playable? Working hard right now to get that happening for next weekend! I should update their blog.
Halflings 1k… yeah, not sure about that one, since my kitbashing is absolutely getting out of hand.
