2023 Vs Ugleb’s painting pile

For the second year, I will be tracking my purchases, completed minis & terrain while hoping to make inroads in my considerable pile of projects.

First priority for the year is Star Wars Legion.  I am in the process of building my own table worth of terrain and have an entire army of Clones built and primed to get done.

Beyond that I want to upgrade my Kings of War Armada game from the card terrain to something three dimensional, so another terrain project.

I have Hellboy the boardgame expansions to finish off then move onto another big box boardgame.  I would like to get at least one other boardgame done this year but they are big undertakings.  I have a few Kickstarters that will be delivering this year so the backlog is going to jump some more when they do!

Oh and I have a solitary Noble Strigoi unpainted for Carnevale.  I do want to put together a playable gang for that and keep thinking about getting my own terrain together, so that is likely to be some new purchases there!

Ok, had to pick up this one and I suspect she will probably go out of stock pretty quickly.  Also I am playing a fair bit of Legion at the moment so she will hit the table sooner rather than later!

So I wasn’t expecting to have two new core sets drop into my life this week, and there may be a third.

The Deadzone 2 player box has been acquired through a “that’s too cheap NOT to buy!” opportunity and I may have a second box coming my way on top of this. I also picked up a couple of character minis from a friend’s crazy box so I have 25 minis plus a heap of terrain to paint up. And another 23 minis if the other set comes through!

The Marvel Crisis Protocol core set was also unexpected. Apparently, some time ago I added it to the Amazon wish list that my wife can see, and today is my birthday. She wasn’t meant to be spending core set money on my present this year so I was very surprised to receive it! I do come across people in the area looking for opponents from time to time though so will be keeping it to use as a hook for getting people into the club. And, I do love painting superheroes!

Small moment of weakness combined with Mantic running a free shipping weekend and I had some expiring loyalty points to use up.

This is the limited edition Nimue figure that somehow reappeared in stock. It was a few quid off and I really want to paint her! As I have been meaning to get back to the Hellboy expansions soon the time felt right. 😉
