Also doing more planning on the demo board and it&#8217;s setup. I&#8217;m also planning some gaming for Thursday &#8211; thinking some Spectre with a load of figures and vehicles on the table.<\/p>\n<h3>COLLECTION<\/h3>\n<p>So this week I decided to sit down and do an audit of my models. The full details are available over on my collection page but here are some short asides<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Total infantry models: 629<\/li>\n<li>Percentage painted: 54%<\/li>\n<li>Total vehicles: 22<\/li>\n<li>Percentage painted: 41%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>First of all, I have no idea how I have so many figures. I use a fair percentage of them but I will probably be doing some pruning and refocusing at some-point in the future.<\/p>\n<p>It was also a little distressing to see figures from the Spectre kickstarter are still unpainted &#8211; definitely a high priority to fix.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the biggest thing is that despite all these figures, I can still see a reason for more. I want to bring the US Marines, US Army, US Rangers, Russians and Aussies up to platoon level with a selection of supports (all ready for platoon+). I&#8217;d love to add the Chinese as another option (especially with some of their funky kit) and fill out a wider range of supports (both weapons teams and vehicles).<\/p>\n<h3>PURCHASES<\/h3>\n<p>It&#8217;s Salute next weekend so nothing for now. However, I have been looking at more upcoming releases and about what else I&#8217;m tempted to pick up.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5390\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/dcsra009-bank-accessories-01_large.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/dcsra009-bank-accessories-01_large.jpg 480w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/dcsra009-bank-accessories-01_large-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>TTCombat have announced two pieces of scenery addition. One is the security pack, including CCTV cameras, terminals and burglar alarms. The other is bank equipment, which includes Gold bars, a bank vault door and bags of swag. I can see a use for both of these and may be tweaking the overall goal of my campaign based on them. After all, what else would people be fighting for than a pile of gold.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5393\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_3964.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_3964.jpg 600w, https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_3964-150x72.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I also already have some of Crooked Dice&#8217;s excellent lawmen that I use as security guards. Currently, I&#8217;m looking into picking up a few guys armed with M16s to give the guards a little more firepower.<\/p>\n<p>After my model audit, I&#8217;m going to be moving into a focus on painting for the next few months. However, I think I&#8217;d like to expand another faction to platoon level. Still deciding which but the US Army is tempting. Whichever I choose, the plan is to grab a few more packs of infantry and a vehicle or two to support. And then paint them.<\/p>\n<h3>PAINTING<\/h3>\n<p>Nothing to show yet. Started painting more of my technical weapon teams (ready for an upcoming game) and painted the first layer of desert MARPAT camo for my marines.<\/p>\n<h3>TERRAIN<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-5394\" src=\"https:\/\/hntdaab.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/IMG_20170416_112201-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" \/><\/p>\n<p>As part of further work on my demo board, I finally started building the actual boards. Basic construction is done but I now need to apply a metric ton of filler and then start painting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s start,\u00a0covering the 10th\u00a0of April through to the 16th of April.
