Project Backlog

Myself and my Sweet Lady are moving house in the next few weeks, and have preparing for some time. In fact the keys are due to be handed over tomorrow. Following this there is much work to be done in terms of decorating. This is going to put a massive dent in my hobbying, till about Christmas/New Year. Booooo!

Except the new house will have room for hobbying and crafts, and a garden & shed for paint spraying. This also means people can come round to play Wargames! A short term hit for long term gain.

So to fill time and better plan my hobbying time when it comes around again I plan to write large amounts of fluff. I already have posted two pieces on this blog, and have several long  rambling outlines on Google Docs. I have a detailed vision for my Space Marines of the chapter "Swords of Midnight" and there is a basic history prepared for them. My ambition is to write a mini codex for them, cutting and pasting rules from the Space Marine codex. I have a lot of unpainted Space Marines and could feasibly field half a company if theg were all painted, so I want a background to do them justice.

I also want to continue my Tau fluff/story as that is largely formed in my imagination. My Tau are a largely complete army in terms of painting,  with only some Kroot remaining to paint. I feel in terms of technique these are the best minis I've painted yet, but they are sadly packed away for the move. I will release evidence of this in due course.
