Back on this day in 2024 I decided to pause my 10mm WFB 3rd edition and have a go at 25mm like I played back in the 80's and 90's.
Switching from 10mm to 25mm meant starting entirely from scratch.
I had big plans at the start, I had intended to have both my small armies painted within a year.
That would be about 2 models per week.
With even the best will in the world that would have been tricky, some times you just don't feel in the mood, sometimes you want to but are too tired to paint well enough, sometimes you get ill.
Looking back it was ambitious, and then I had not factored terrain.
I have had to make/buy/collect all the terrain and so on.
Trees, hedges, walls, fences, fields, scatter, buildings etc.
These all take loads of time, especially as I make much of it myself from scratch.
So where am I so far?
The whole lot, still much left to paint:
The Stirland Garrison:
The Undead, now this is a bit odd as some are mine and some are Samantha's and some we share, the non citadel stuff is hers and the Citadel is mine, but we share the Zombies.
Some Villagers and passers by:
Some of the noteworthy structures and their inhabitants:
It is not as much as I hoped in terms of figures, the terrain I had like a fool not thought about so that is all a bonus really.
Overall though I am pleased, the models are all painted to a standard that I am happy with, the buildings I am happy with and or proud of in some instances.
So whilst it has been slower than hoped, it is as pretty if not prettier than I thought it would be.
Let us see where we are in another 12 months time!!
