Getting organised, not side tracked. Honest.

 

I have stuff finished, ready to go, games plotted, pointed and assembled.  Waiting for my group or the next incarnation to ketchup.

So, like in lockdown I'm thinking  I need to focus.  Get organised and make some hard decisions.

Some to Start.

Some to finish.

Others to go!

Better, focused games with finished figures





Now:  I'm in the middle of Ragnaroc in general and Norse OGAM by default.  Once I hit Halloween it goes away.

Go- I got and started a load of 11c figures that need clearing out, as the period/Robin Hood campaign went down like a lead boot.

Elves, a joint project betwix 3 of our group with me providing basing and a few figures.  End in sight!

Watermargin, (think big trouble in little china meets bladerunner) which is sort of an offshoot of the Timewars as a PAU (Pan African Union a la Tuffyverse)  Got the stuff, slow burn side-finish sort of thing.

Will I keep?  not sure.

3rd Scottish project.  It's mad and hopefully fun.  Got bits, keep adding.  Needs doing  https://unitrecon.blogspot.com/2025/06/lion-and-dragon-rampant-planning-for.html

Samurai.  Again sort of a joint project.  I have loads, not going to get sucked in - I can already do OGAM Japanese lists.

Coming post Halloween:

Timewars Daleks.  This got too bitty.  I have the heavy weapons and transolars done, just need basing and painting.

UNSC/Anglic UNIT.  More Tuffyverse meets Dr Who.  Didn't get where I am without mixing genres.

I started, collected, based and even undercoated most.  Then I moved and the bits went everywhere.

1980's UNIT.  I've got it, just need to get up and go.  https://unitrecon.blogspot.com/2026/02/xenos-rampant-unit-circa-1980.html

The future:  Well there's only one.   You can guess?  Go on---  Daleks, probably both classical and Imperial. 

Maybe go, or at least thin out:  Orcs  OK, but not getting a lot of use.

Dwarves, I started collecting.  I could do enough for Norse OGAM and one Dragon Rampant army and shift the rest.

I started working on Venus for Space 1899 a la Xenos Rampant.  Not sure how to go.

I touted this one and again it went down like the proverbial:  https://unitrecon.blogspot.com/2025/12/xenos-rampant-vsf-royal-engineers-and.html

I have a few to exterminate:  
Kickstarter Martian robots.  Got a lot of these, plus the Alternate Armies chaps.  
10 items included+ optional add-ons
1 X 10 unit general squad (including 2 heavy weapons), 1 X 2 unit sniper squad, 2 X heavy weapon platforms (3 units for each platform) & 3 weapon+7 More

Quar.  I spent £300 and getting anyone to play now the plastics are out---.  Then there's the vehicles I've added--.  Some can shift to Victorian.  

Wood elves.  Mostly RPE, bought to do Martian steppe nomads.

Sumerians.  I got a fair few done.  Bought more to do a 40mm based DBA force.  Plus there's  Midianites.

Hide the bone.  I spent a lot on this, made a lot of scenery.  But-- it didn't take off, I think Entoyment thought it would be big but the rules are bad and fiddly to a market that wants to be spoon fed.  A lot can be funneled into Dunlanders then disposed.  The Neaderthals - particularly the archers, can be absorbed by tribal Orcs.

So, if you're in the UK and looking for a bargain, send a comment.
