It's a bit late to write out my hobby goals for this year (seeing as we're almost a third of the way through) but better late than never.
This is the year I intend to introduce my two oldest to simple wargaming so in order to do that we need a board, terrain, minis and monsters. I was thinking of putting together a simple game based on knights questing across the countryside defeating monsters and villains. I picked up a box Foot Knights from Wargames Atlantic and a box of Guards. I have a small pile of Bones plastic from Reaper of things that go bump in the night (skeletons, ghouls, bats, etc).
- Game board: Already cut a piece of plywood and applied a base coat. Now to add some other shades of green.
- Terrain: Boulders, fences, hedges, a tree or three, perhaps some water features and a monolith.
- Minis: Knights! The kids have already picked out the bits so now they need assembling and painting.
- Monsters: I have skeletons already being worked on, but there are bats, wolves, ghouls, vampires, rats as well as a plethora of giant bugs. I would like to make some goblins, dragons and dinosaurs too.
For my side of the hobby I want to get into Necromunda. I have played 40k and Fantasy in the past but the price of putting together even a small army has completely put me off. I still have some 40k and Fantasy stuff kicking around so you might see some unconventional takes on the gangs.
- Build two gangs, one for myself and another for my wife.
- Build walls and terrain from 2x4 offcuts and assorted trash.
- Take stock of what minis I own and see what I can make of them.
Well I hope to get some work done this weekend and post the results. Kids will be in Florida on vacation with the grandparents so that should free some of my time and energy.
