Progressometer

Right I'm going to create a list of all the stuff I have in my empire army currently which fall under standard tournament regulations. The main two that I'm following is that no unit may be larger than 40 models and no unit may be more that 450 points. So here's everything I want to get done.

1 arch lector on war alter
3 warrior priests on foot
1 mounted warrior priest
1 captain Bsb
1 mounted captain Bsb
6 wizards
1 engineer
40 swordsmen
20 halberdiers
20 handgunners
10 crossbowmen
20 archers
20 (ish) free company
10 knights
6 demigryph knights
5 reiksguard
2 cannons
1 mortar
5 pistoliers
37 flagellants
1 hellblaster volley gun

To try and prevent me getting bored and stopping I'm going to try and paint some of the larger blocks in groups of 20 or even 10. I'm going to paint the knights in 5s and the demigryphs in 3s.

So until next time

So I've done it, sort of. Well I've managed to fully paint and base 1 miniature bring the total fully completed empire miniatures to 1 and the total models fully completed this year to erm well 1...

But anyway here he is. The first swordsman for my empire.

So that's the painting off to a start. Hopefully I will get all 40 of these blokes up on here soon

Until next time

Rules for life

So the move is pretty much complete and I should be getting internet in the next couple of days. I've started my course which is going quite well and I'm starting to get a feel for Leeds. Hopefully I'll properly be up and running soon.

Right onto the important stuff. So last week I turned 20. So I'm no longer a reckless over excited teenager, I now have to be "sensible". So I am going to enforce some rules I tried to create about 12 months ago. Back then I was preparing for a tournament and had a large pile of empire miniatures in need of painting. Being the lazy easily distracted fool that I am I allowed myself to ignore this until 1 week before the event. I ended up being up till 1 or 2 in the morning the night before to finish. Even then I ended up with a base coated army at best. Here is the final result.




So that was almost a year ago and I said I would go to no events with an army like that again. Well I stuck to it, I haven't been to any. But the army still looks like that. So my plan is to get working on these units. Mainly because I want to get to know my local game group and don't want to be known as the guy with the badly base coated armies.

So that is the new mission.

Until next time
