Hobby Goals: January to June 2022

-

 Right now it's the end of December, 2021. 

Soon it will be January 2022. Come June 2022 I'll be moving yet again, hopefully for good for some time. 

However, that leaves me with 6 months to play around with, and I have several hobby goals to work on in that time. The first goal has been accomplished: Start a Hobby Blog. [Check] But many are left to do! And here they are! 

My Hobby Goals for the first Half of 2022, in no particular order, with no specific plan, but organized by games and points costs. 


BOLT ACTION

- JAPAN

    -750 pts IJA, painted. **

    -750 pts SNLF, painted. **


-CHINA

    -750 pts KMT Nationalists, painted.**

    -750 pts Ankochun Warlords, painted.**


-USA

    -750 pts USMC, Painted. 

(Why 750 pts? That's the Go-To size for my small gaming group, we're all still learning the ropes and find that 750 points works nicely for the space we have and our skill level!)


FISTFUL OF LEAD (Skirmish Battles)

    -German Civil War

        -Freikorp Gang, 15 men, painted.

        -1 Armored Car, painted

        -Sparatkusbund Gang, 15 men, painted.    

        -1 Improvised Armored Car, painted.

    -War of the Roses

        -House of York Warband, 15 men, painted. 

        -House of Lancaster Warband, 15 men, painted. 

    -Late 20's early 30's China, Back of Beyond. 

        -** Various gangs from the aforementioned forces + various additional Armor and Aircraft!

TERRAIN

    -North East China Village board.

    -Jungle Bunker board.

    -Scatter Terrain.

Miscellaneous (A wish list of "if I have the time and spirit" goals from my back log and pile of shame)

    -Figure out my dang 40k Imperial Guard Project

    -Various Monsters and Gribblies

    -Assorted Science Fiction stuffs

    -Other. Time will Tell~ But, maybe, at the very least, a Forge World Macharius Vulcan. 


So that's that! Well dang, that's quite a list! Is it too much? Maybe.. maybe. However I have a good head start on a lot of this, with the exception of the USMC list most of my BA lists are at least assembled, primed, and started and most of my scatter terrain and buildings are primed. Hopefully this will inspire me to actually get this stuff done. That's my biggest goal, to build up the momentum to keep painting, to stay inspired and driven, and get stuff done!

A fishy tale in Warlord China, Xiao Yú, 192x - 193x

-

I've been working on all this in earnest since last August, terrain, lore, armies, everything organized for Fistful of Lead, and Beyond the Empire. Some day.. some day I'll have enough army men for Setting the East Ablaze.  Anyways, an introduction. The province of Xiao Yú, a microcosm of the struggles of Greater China, is a small forgotten land, tucked away somewhere north of Beijing, near the Mongolian Border, neighbor enough to Manchuria, somewhere in the lands of Rehe and inner Mongolia. The province takes it's name from the Xiao Yú River, an equally forgotten tributary that snakes off the northern hump of the Yellow River, past Shanxi and into the lands beyond.  It's quite alright if you've never seen Xiao Yú on any map, the residents prefer it that way. Some say that it was the Germans who originally erased it from the maps around the time of the Boxer Rebellion, not in the typical Germanic fashion mind you - nothing was burned down - but rather, that their in...

The Yellow Locust Gang

-
Image
The countryside of Xiǎo Yú, like with most Chinese provinces during this era, is plagued with bandit gangs. Ranging from small ragtag groups of thugs to large organized but poorly disciplined hosts they are countless and unending. A constant stream of destitute peasants, craven deserters, and those just looking for an easy meal keep these gangs flush with manpower. Two major gangs prowl Xiǎo Yú, one of which is known as "The Yellow Locust Gang." Yellow representing power and prosperity in traditional Chinese culture, and locust referring to the gangs ability to lay waste to all they descend on. They are lead by "Four Eyes" Chin, a smart and capable man believed to once have been a junior officer in the now destroyed Anhui Clique. Chin's nickname stems from his poor eyesight, the man needing glasses to see beyond the end of his nose. It is said that the primary goal for his gang is to ensure he has enough glasses to last him the rest of his life, and while this i...

Armored Rail Cruiser "The Angry Dragon"

-
Image
 Known as The Angry Dragon to the locals and the common soldiery, and the Armored Cruiser to most military commanders in the province, this train is a coveted and feared weapon, often fought over by all sides. At one point or another the train has steamed alongside all the major powers in the province, from the Japanese, to the Warlords, the Nationalists and even the White Russians. Shifting sides when captured or overran, no commander is willing to scuttle her, they rather squabble than take her out of play. She may be ours this week, theirs the next, the Bolsheviks the following, but by next month, she'll be ours again! 6 weeks at most..   Under Japanese Command, patrolling somewhere deep in the countryside. Being an armored rail cruiser, and not a traditional armored train, the Angry Dragon doesn't require a dedicated engine and tender. Instead two fiat diesel engines power the front and rear trucks, or was it rear and front trucks? Either way, the train is entirely se...
