[GS Review] - January

So, how is the 2016 campaign going? A slow start in January, it's fair to say, but February has already been better!

The overview:

The pictures:

My paltry two painted figures were both Citadel and both destined for my beastman band. First, an AD&D gnoll (one of the very few Citadel beastmen, or equivalent, with a bow), and then a Night Horrors imp who just refused to be anything other than electric blue all over. The yellow tassel on the gnoll's hat ties him in to the blue and/or yellow theme as my nod to it being a Tzeentch warband for RoC gaming.

The details:

No goals completed as originally stated, but I have played two games of Dragon Rampant (one with miniatures, one with Lego) as well as one of X-Wing (I lost to the fraction-of-a-millimeter judgements of my sons in souped-up x-wings ripping my TIEs apart in an asteroid field), and two sessions of Swords & Wizardry.

• give a monthly update of how each of these goals are going
• give a monthly update of how much I've painted, built, gamed, acquired, and spent

STRETCH goals

• sort out proper galleries of my figures for this blog

How are you getting on with your goals for 2016?
