Start of May Sea Elves and Looking Ahead


I've just finished the first week of what will be about two weeks of a heavy work schedule. There will be much travelling coming up soon, too. May will be the make-or-break month for me in the OWAC. Since there are only two months left, I'm going to do the best to not fail.

My goal for May exceeds the 200 pt requirement quite a bit, but the figure count is still pretty reasonable and I've already started on the higher point value models:

  • Sea Elf Witch
  • 10 Spear elves
  • 1 Champion (lv. 5) (for the spear unit) 
  • 1 Standard bearer (also for the spear unit)




That will leave June's goal as:

  • 10 Wardancers
  • 1 Chariot

Looking further into the future, I also prepped the last few Mirliton half-orcs I need for the unit, now 24 strong. Because I enjoy painting these theme challenges, I may wait until October for them. Between those figures, and the recent Bones KS4 delivery, I've started thinking about how the painting challenges fill out part of the rest of the year, and what other figures I'm looking forward to painting.

  • May: OWAC2 Sea Elves
  • June: OWAC2 Sea ELves
  • July:
  • August:
  • September:
  • October: Half-orcs
  • November:
  • December: Undead

One of the top candidates for filling in those "empty" months is getting back to the (mostly) hobbits & (some) humans of the JTC, I've also still got more Marienburgers, giants, and assorted fantasy critters to paint. Or more undead. And that then there's that robot project that still hasn't launched. Not really going to plan everything out, I'll just paint whatever I feel like at the time. But the hobbits are on my mind...
