Twelve months, 20,- Euros – Part 2

February is known to be a bit shorter than the other months, so you would think that mentally there would be a bit of pressure to finish painting planned minis. Well, maybe it was like that at the beginning, because I finished the last group of skeletons for my Mortal Gods Army of Hades pretty quickly. This surprised myself so much that I just tried to finish the remaining group of zombies and managed to do so, which completed the army.

With 300 points for the Hades faction, I was satisfied. Now it was time to completely assemble another faction so that I would no longer have to play games with ugly proxies for Mortal Gods.

The army will be slightly converted and it will take a little longer to paint them, but I hope to capture the right flair in the end. Especially the Promachos already looked promising after minor modifications.

The Promacho's blade was so bendy that it probably would have broken off after a short while, so I replaced it with one made of plastic, as well as the shield, whose recess showed an unsightly gap. Aside from that, I also assembled one of Sarissa Precision's wells, because if there's one thing I really need, it's terrain for the gaming table.

Well, what else happened this month? I tested a few colors on a Frostgrave barbarian and since the Chaosbunkerdaddies seem to have all somehow unpainted warbands, it will probably come to a group project during the year - that suits me quite well, since I wanted to advance in my Frostgrave project again. This will probably happen with the second warband that I have assembled, though it won't be quite as detailed as the Sword and Sorcery series.

When it came to my purchases this month, I just couldn't decide: should it be some Fauns and Centaurs from Wargames Atlantic? Clay houses from Renedra, which would fit well into the Greek setting? Most likely, however, I finally need a proper playmat...

So at the beginning of March, my balance of available funds looks like this:

January 13.01 €

February 20.- €

March 20.- €

So with a budget of around €50, the play mat seems to become more and more realistic. Should it be a cheap one, there might even be money left over for a small terrain piece. No matter what I decide, slowly I begin to no longer identify with this meme....
