2025 Plans and Purchases

A boring post so feel free to click the X on the tab above. 

Quite a bit late for posting my plans and purchases for 2025, but building on my usual process when writing my work goals for my annual performance plan it is always best to write at least 1 or 2 goals that have already been completed so that I always met my performance level. 😂

Plans

As always - to decrease the unpainted lead mountain.

Paint some of the armies that I have accumulated in the past.
League of Augsburg Allies
League of Augsburg French
Dervish Camel Army

Captain Nemo Army
Napoleonic French Army

Any of the other 3,000 odd unpainted figures.

Paint anything new that I buy.

Napoleonic British Army
Sci Fi armies

Chinese VSF Army

Play some games including: 

Project Stew     Confederate Zombies in WW2
Start the 1,000 years war campaign
Play at least one game with each newly painted army

Anything else that takes my fancy

Terrain

Make some new terrain for different environments
I always enjoy making terrain or adding to the many existing boxes of terrain. This is always fun. 
So something for the desert armies, something for the sci fi armies, and something for the Chinese VSF army, likely the Great Wall.

Purchases

Miniatures

I decided that I will make one large purchase with Pendraken each year to economise on postage costs. I will do this between Christmas and New Years to use any vouchers I can extort from my children for Christmas and my birthday in January before any January 1 price increases by Pendraken. I did this at the start of this year and purchased:

240 figures from the new Pendraken scifi ranges for test painting

301 figures for a British Napoleonic army (the 1 figure is Wellington)

30 Chunchu Cavalry and 60 Chunchu Infantry for a VSF Chinese Force

185 Japanese 1905 army figures as proxies for the regulars in a Chinese VSF force *

I have also bought the Warcradle Empire Armour Regiment as the vehicle force for the Chinses VSF.

* I am not sure about this now and may just use these as Japanese and get a more traditional Chinese force.

As the kids say now days - photos or it didn't happen:

Sci fi forces

Chinese (Japanese) VSF army

Napoleonic British Army

A decent haul for the year and hopefully enough to keep me busy.

Next up some skirmishers for my colonial armies.
