2019: Recap

And 2019 came to a close.

Time to see if I realised my goals. As every year the goal is to:
  • Paint more lotr models than I buy
  • Buy more lotr models than Games workshop releases.
  • Paint at least 100 models

In total I painted 182 Lotr models, 14 more than in 2018. An absolute record for myself.
 I have 2505 models in my collection and 1510 of them are painted. I'm only 8 models off a complete collection.

So I painted more than 100 models and definiatly bought more models lotr than GW and Forgeworld released. Due to the rereleases I bought 222 new models. A lot more than I painted so I failed that goal. 

I also stated that I would try to finish the mancave but then the baby happend!

2020 will be epic! I will keep the main three goals but will also try to hunt dowm the last 8 models!

Laketown part I

Last models for 2019:
Every year I try to paint up one good and one evil army. I painted up the Corsairs for evil but with all the new supplements I never came around painting a new good force. I did finish three legendary legions but they were build upon existing armies. So I finally started with my new Survivors of Laketown army.



Finally I painted a lonely Halbarad for some scenarioplay:

War in Rohan!


War in Rohan! The latest new supplement for Middle earth strategy battle game once again made me change my priorities. I dusted off my Isengard forces and started painting up models for the legendary legions. Only a few models needed to finish up complete legions. I started with Ugluk's scouts:


Scouring of the shire part III: Hobbit sheriffs and Sharkey and worm

I painted up some lovely old and new lotr models. I started with Sharkey and worm:


Next up, some more hobbit heroes. Once again lovey forgeworld sculpts. Always a joy to paint. Still four hobbit heroes left and I can start the Scouring of the Shire campaign.
