Start Of The Bleak

It's time to start the week again. Even though it's a Tuesday. I've got more Empire stuff planned. I say Empire but I have at least three plans for them. There are tenish more free company, fifteen halberds (which are probably Bretonian and the odd free company member) and a couple more hangers on. I should probably bite the bullet and buy the Empire Army starter set. The plan is to do some chopping and changing. Some of the heads are quite distinctive (which means a male head with a vaguely pirate hat and an eye patch or an older guy with mad hair) which I don't want to many of. Greater arm and weapons variety would be nice too. So ideally I want all the bits in the same place. As with many eBay finds, the posing may not be great. Such as a mini with two outstretched arms, one holding a club the other with a bow. So I am waiting on some more stuff to arrive.
Somewhere in the near future I have yet more stuff for Atomfallish. More default Brits but plenty of late war winter Germans. These will be my British Union of Fascists. I need more bad guys so I think these will get done pretty quickly. There are twenty four coming so if I add something random, I'll have a weekly target. These have been on order for ten days.

I got hold of fifty ish WW 2 Russians and a T34. The plan had been to use them for Atomfallish. I have some very nice Neo Sovs from Copplestone that I will stick with. So I have a soviet army to paint. There is no way I am using a brush to paint that much green. This should be the excuse I need to get the airbrush out but I am going rattle can it. Assuming I can find the paint at the right price and they will deliver before Christmas. I even looked for a wargamming show. The next one I can fit in is February.

On top.of that are just over twenty future warriors. Some street punks, which will do duty for cyberpunk and some wasteland types. I am toying with the idea of buying some more of the robots I already have. Along with some Copplestone stuff and maybe a few more robots. I have a project in mind.

Somewhere deep inside is the nagging urge to paint a Turnip 28 army. I have some minis ready to go. There are plenty of bits to make this happen.
