New apartment!

Last few weeks have been quite hectic with us moving to a new apartment so not much time for painting or gaming. But there is an upside! Finally I have a sort of permanent hobby spot so no more moving things out of the way all the time. Enough room for too many half-finished projects and loads of shelf space for all the tools, parts and boxes.

Now that I'm mostly settled after spending the whole summer abroad and moving to a new apartment I can hopefully start pushing out updates a bit faster :)

Also finally got more ink for the printer and got a flag printed out for the tiny prussians. I've got about a brigades worth of them based now waiting for painting and two more brigades cleaned up waiting to get based. Let's see when I get enough motivation or a nice gaming deadline to get the painting line rolling for these guys.

Last days of the Winter War Kickstarter

The Winter War Kickstarter is nearing the end and it's going to be pretty epic by the looks of it. At the moment for every 1 pound invested you get about 4 pounds worth of miniatures as all the unlocks until 40,000 pounds have been free for anyone investing in a platoon. So if you are not taking part in it yet jump in now! There's only a few days left. Next unlocks are trucks for both armies and an Aerosan for the Ruskies.

Painting progress

Well there's finally been some painting progress with a battalion of 15mm prussians, 8 Saxon/Viking warriors for Saga. Also painted up a platoon of 101st for Flames of War, but they are still missing a bit of paint on the weapons and all the flags and insignia from their sleeves. And finally I've painted up 2 bases of brits to get closer to finishing my British part for Waterloo. Pictures are quite crappy due to having to use my mobile phone as a camera. Moving to a new apartment in around two weeks so maybe I can finally set up a more permanent painting spot and figure out something for photos too!

Winter War miniatures

Well I managed to jump onboard another Kickstarter project before even seeing any progress from the Empress one. But then again as a Finn seeing someone do minis for the Winter War in 28mm was too good of a deal to pass.

Baker Company is running their Winter War Wargaming Miniatures Kickstarter to create both finnish and soviet forces for this early WW2 period. At the moment a platoon comes at 60 pounds which might seem a bit high, but the amount of free strech goal minis is quite epic. At the moment I'm going for the Border Assault pledge which give a platoon of both Finnish and Soviet Troops and a few hundred pounds worth of extras for free. I'm a bit anxious though about all the stretch goals and them making the whole project too costly for Baker Company to go through with. But even getting half the stretch goals would still make the whole thing a great deal.
