About Me

A mythical beast - a female wargamer! I got back into wargaming in the summer of 2011 after a very, very long break and haven't looked back since. I must admit that I seem to be more of a painter/collector than a gamer, but do hope to correct that at some point in the near future. My gaming interests span the ages, from the "Biblical" era all the way through to the far future. I enjoy games of all sizes, from a handful of figures up to major battles (see my megalomaniacally sized Choson Korean and Russian Seven Years War armies).

One Year Ago

Thanks Phil B for yet another meme!

So, the basic idea is that you look back through your blog to a year ago and link to the post(s) nearest to that date.

Well, I took a look yesterday and there was a post on the correct day. However, as it was a "part 1" I have waited until today so that both parts can be linked to.

On Tuesday 13 March 2012 I posted "Rum, Sodomy and the Lash - Part 1"

On Thursday 15 March 2012 I posted twice:

"Quick Update" (a pretty short and boring post)

"Rum, Sodomy and the Lash - Part 2"


Looking back to my blog around that time has made me realise a couple of things and start to feel guilty about them. Around that time I was doing my "Equine Development Facility" project to get all the horses done for my Sarmatian army. Sixty of those horses are still sitting in a drawer on my painting table, painted but riderless - I really ought to get those riders prepped, primed and painted.

I was also just starting to paint my Chumbondas. Those were the last sci-fi figures I painted (not counting the NAC as futuristic British colonial forces I did a while back as test figures). I really must get some of my sci-fi forces done this year.

    …sixty horses?!

    I'm not feeling so bad about my painting backlog now, though that doesn't exclude me from my own paint-less related guilt.

    You certainly do paint in volume Tamsin, all credit to you.

    I looked back at mine and it was the posting of my first miniature. Pretty cool that Phil picked this time to do this.

    So far I haven't gotten too far off track, but I get tempted all the time. If I can actually finish all the figures for my two current projects, I'm just going to paint randomly for a while.

    I have more than just painting that I slacked off on. I'm going to go through and look at all the things I planned and see if I can finish some of them.

    @ Dark Templar - There were something like 120 horses in the batch originally, but I only got round to doing the riders for half of them before other projects took over. They're 15mm so it shouldn't be too bad getting the riders painted.

    @ Anne - I can't believe that I missed your first miniature back then or that I didn't comment. I've corrected that now.

    @ Sean - if I went back and looked at all the projects I'd planned and tried to do them, well, let's just say I'd have enough work to keep me going for a couple of years at least!

    @ Ray - the Chumbos were good fun to paint and certainly helped to restore my painting mojo back then.

    @ PeaceLoveandSharpies - nice blog you have there. Just out of interest, how did you come across mine?
