No idea what I'm going to do yet and I probably won't make a proper decision until I return from holiday next week.

Main choices are :-

GW Empire troops older sculpts & GW Skaven older sculpts
More VSF Japanese troops
More VSF British troops
Boshin War both sides
Fantasy Japanese theme
Rogue Trader Imperial Guard & Rogue Trader Orcs

cheers

Fantasy Japanese all the way!  This is going to be the year of Japanese historical fantasy!

Or it's always good to see some skaven too

Love seeing you do Japanese projects but I can understand if you'd want a change of pace!  lol. I need to actually stick with the AP project this year...totally screwed the pooch last year.

Right then, I think the choice will be Oldschool! As in, fantasy Empire and Skaven and also RT Imperial Guard and RT orcs  :D

All four of these have been bubbling away in the background for sometime now and I've amassed quite a collection of each (photos to follow).

I will swap and change between them to help keep the interest fresh and try to keep the units small (ten figures or so at a time or one vehicle).

I already painted an Imp trooper and an orc sometime ago so the colour schemes for these are sorted (not the best photos).






I've also got some Empire and Skaven figures already painted but no pictures as of yet. I'll also need to sort out group shots of all four collections.

cheers

I'm interested to see which version of skaven you are painting. Really old school slaves perhaps?

Great stuff mate! :-* Those are still the best Guard figures to n my opinion! They're used to be some good beastmen/guard models around at that time too.

Surely you need some old skool armour to go with them too? ;)

Cheers fellas.

For the most part the Skaven are the Jes Goodwin sculpts  8)

Multiple forces as I'm a glutton for punishment  ;D

Got some old rhinos, a pred or two, loads of orky bikes etc, a steam tank or two and a few crazy Skaven 'vehicles' (using the word in its loosest sense  lol)

Got my first 'entry' done. Had it base coated for a while but it was a good one to get done first  :)



Dunno what's going to be next though  o_o

I like that a lot. I never had any Orks and the old RT ones hold so much more appeal than any of the versions that followed. I found my old Eldar stuff last night and instantly decided to keep it. I wouldn't mind some Orky opponents.

Cheers fellas  :)

The check wasn't too bad as I had rivets around the edge of the hatch to help position them although the sculpt itself is a bit wonky  lol

It's a bit difficult not to start collecting Eldar and SM's as well  lol

cheers
