Of course that might be down to sheer embarrassment as since the Cuirassier crisis hit in the middle of the year I’ve not actually finished anything. All effort has gone on getting the 13th Cavalry Division spruced up and ready for action at Waterloo in mid-June 2019.
I would like to report that the cuirassiers have stopped me from purchasing other items but well… I’m weak and they are so… shiny. All I can take solace in is that if I gave in to every whim and fashion that wargaming throws at us it could be a lot worse!
So here is the sad August count:
Bought:
· 6 Mosquitoes for Blood Red Skies – an absolute
moment of weakness but it is my favourite WWII aircraft. It has also resulted
in me humming the 633 Squadron theme incessantly. I’m sure somebody will put me
out of my misery soon, there is a fine collection of sharp and blunt
instruments in our kitchen after all.
· 6 Hurricanes for Blood Red Skies – this was for
a Battle of Britain project I came up with and started before the cuirassiers
trotted into view
· 4 assorted Necrons for Warhammer 40K – joining
the pile of another unpainted army
·
Kill Team box set – 10 Mechanicus and 10
Genestealer cults miniatures
· 1 Ork buggy – always loved the Orks in 40K ever
since the first metal box set and the new models are fantastically, shiny,
spikey and orky
· 1 Ork mekanik
· Blackstone Fortress game – this contained
several WH40K mythos models that have never been available before including
traitor guardsman and rogue psykers. Haven’t tried the game yet but it can be
played solo so there’s a chance it will get rolled out soon. 44 miniatures in
all
·
7 Star Wars Legion Rebel Fleet troopers
·
111 Cuirassiers
·
4 guns and crew (20 in all) – French horse
artillery
5 monthly: -210
Yearly: -205
Well, given the point of the count is to demonstrate I’m finishing
more than I buy, that’s a disaster!
At least 2019 will zero the count!
