Wow, cant believe it has been over seven months since I have posted.
For those that are interested, I took a break from the hobby for several months to get ready for Basic Training (as well as basic itself), and then to settle into learning my new job. Now fairly settled into things, I am finding myself with a pull to start up projects I left off, and the first would be my German Armor.
As luck would have it, there is both a tournament coming up locally, as well as the possibility of a Tank Aces league starting up. With that, I will have some work to do.
Right now, I am thinking that I will run a King Tiger list, probably out of Grey Wolf, in the tournament. I would prefer to try a Begleit StuG list, but I do not even have the tank riders yet, let alone the time to get them ready. Plus, it will give me a chance to see how the rules have changed with the last update. Most of the figures I will be using are primed/painted, and I might be able to get a little more work done on them before the game. If not, thats fine too, I will have time for that later.
If I can drum up interest in Force on Force locally, I will probably start up my Russian force (so as to have a proper MW2/BF3 'demo' collection). Otherwise, I can finish up my insurgents to check that off the list.
Tomorrows War has been done with AT-43 figures mostly, so I will keep to that. It is easier, especially in stores where there is existing 40k terrain that I can use. I still have my plans for a UAE/Ayrun themed unit made up of infantry and suits, but that can certainly wait.
Really excited to get my minis out of storage and the airbrush fired up. Just getting a platoon checked off would be great. Hardly any time at all any more, but I will see what I can get done with a limited amount. Plus I have other odd projects I want to post here for those that might be interested.
Hopefully it is not another 7 months before the next post. :)
