The project list comprises, in no particular order:

Seven Samurai
Battle of Dorking*
Wasteland Warriors
ECW*
Gothic Horror*
Pirates
Barons War*
Lord of the Rings*
WW2 Sicily
Old West

I’m still thinking of binning the unfinished Star Wars and Britannia (Age of Arthur) projects.


Are the starred items the 'in play' projects?  If so you have even more than me on the go.  :o

I didn’t provide the explanatory note did I  lol

The starred items are what I regard as my big projects.

As to what I can currently game with, I have playable forces for:

ECW Both sides
Gothic Horror Both sides
Barons War Both sides
Lord of the Rings Dwarves and Uruk-hai only
WW2 Sicily British Airlanding only
Old West
Star Wars Wookiees only

I’ve got a lot on the painting table at the mo, comprising Dorking, ECW, Uruk-hai, Dunedain, plus markers for Lion Rampant, Dragon Rampant and Rebels & Patriots.

Though I generally buy most of the minis at the outset of a project, I find it difficult to motivate myself to paint them unless I have completed terrain to play on, thus the focus on finishing a few Dorking buildings. Plus domestic DIY is really eating into hobby time.

I think it is sad fact, that people buy ranges and the are lost. Not the first time. Still wait for Akulas ranges. Maybe they are “Lost in Tinlation”…. :(

Great looking project and town. I can see it being used just as well for future German invasions as well, say 1917, 1940s..... Soviets in the cold war. Fictional EU UK spat in the 30s, Aliens.  lol

Thanks for bringing the thread back alive.  :)

Dorking minis are third in line of my paint queue (2 lots of LOTR first) and Dorking buildings are second in line (after a bit more work on the ECW/Dorking Manor House).

So more progress soon!

Though all of that planning might get waylaid by an urge to make a beer wagon and crew for my dwarf army.  :D

Re: German Invasion 1875: UD 24/12 British Resistance unit finished
« Reply #84 on: 24 December 2021, 06:22:08 PM »
First unit finished, though essentially rebasing and repaints of minis from my Old West and Gothic Horror collections: a group of 6 x British Civilian Resistance. Unless blessed by hard cover and favourable dice, they won’t   stand a chance against the Bavarian Jaegers who are next in the paint queue.



The basing scheme reflects that they’ll be used both in field and in town.

They’ll need some reinforcements though especially with all the Germans that are amassing across the channel  lol
