Well, I've finally started to get a handle on what I have left, what needs painting and how I should spend my often unpredictable painting time. I haven't painted anything in about a month and a half, but I had an excuse - needed new bulbs for my desk lamp, new paints, new undercoat. Having solved that, and having made a brief accounting of what miniatures are about, I offer...
Four Key ProjectsThe priority here is to ensure there are figures available for gaming.
EriadorThe Eriador list is an attempt to replace some of the stolen figures, which included a Rivendell and an Angmar army.
Gildor’s Household - white clad Noldo Elves
Hunter Orcs (not purchased yet)
Rivendell Knights (not purchased yet)
Mountain Orc warg riders
War of the Dwarves and OrcsA quick and dirty pick up game list. All plastic, nothing fancy.
40ish Goblin-town goblins
12 Erebor dwarves
24 “other” dwarves
Heroes such a Thorin et al.
Gondor/MordorTime to finish my mostly complete, mostly plastic force.
Two Minas Tirith warbands
Men of Anfalas (two warbands?)
One Orc warband.
Corsair/Southron crew (36 miniatures)
Non TolkienDrow warband
Balor
D&D Heroes
Diorama - Mithril Battle of the Five ArmiesTwenty-ish Mithril figures including Bolg, Beorn, Gandalf et al.
That's a lot of figures, totted all up and should take about 8-9 months. When complete, I want to paint up a lot of plastic Rohirrim as allies to the Gondorians above, and see if I can field a 2000 point War of the Ring Gondor+allies army.
I shall not be intimidated. Well, not much. Well, a bit. Well...I am terrified
