Welcome to my blog, the story of my continuing journey into the World of Zombie Wargames.

Monday 31 December 2012

Well, 2012 finished with a splutter, having been laid up for about two weeks and making a conscious decision not to do any wargaming activity over the last two weeks has enabled me to fully recover (fingers crossed) from my back problems.
I gave up making plans for doing things in 2012 as few if any came off, rather, I winged it and did bit and pieces as well as I could given the effects of drugs (prescribed medication that is) and my rapidly deteriorating eyesight in the latter half of this year. -Hence the picture

WIP - Tenements
For 2013 I still have about 200 figures to paint, (not including figures other than zombie related ones, which could be well over a thousand others), these of course wiull have to wait until I've had my two eye operations, sometime after January. I have about eight buildings in various stages of build to complete and three more terrain boards I'd like to do; I also have numerous wc's to finish. On the plus side I do have two more finished urban terrain boards to put on my blog (probably next week), but that will be the last of my "reserve" blog posts, so I'd better produce something in 2013.
Probably my biggest objective in 2013 is to at least get some games in with whatever I have available, I've just about sorted out which bits of which rules I'll be using and which bits I'll have to alter (I can't envisage having people running faster than vehicles).

Yep, another short post this week, but once I'm back in the swing of things, hopefully my output will improve and I'll finally manage to finish off a lot of the things I've started.

Hope you all have a prosperous New Year and I look forward to reading your blogs and comments for the inspiration and encouragement they give.

Happy New Year Everyone

  1. I hope you have a wonderful new year, Joe, and that your health improves. I'd rather have good health than good wealth any time... although in an ideal world it would be great to have both!

  5. Happy New Year Z. Hope all goes well for you, I'm sure it will. That's one hell of painting mountain. I have a feeling my Long Rifle project is going to lead to something similar in plastic. I already have a box of SYW French and Indians to commence! Get well soon.
