my 2026 hobby

A small update this month, good progress but not massive amounts

First up, as has been the common theme this year, some more Trench Crusade!
2 different groups for the game this month, the first is some of the fantastic Cruciform Order of St George by Hollowcrown miniatures. These are going to be my warband for the next campaign my group does which starts in a few weeks, I’m considering doing a project consisting of battle reports for it, but whether i actually do or not we will have to wait and see…

The second group of minis are some civilians. Unfortunately i can’t remember the maker of them (if you know who it is, let me know so i can credit them here). Not a common sight in trench crusade games, however there is one scenario the requires civilian models, so they are a useful thing to have, and im sure either myself or the group im in may at some point make up some homebrew scenarios that require them, if no more official ones are released.

Then we have another Maladum character, I’m slowly making my way through the models for the game, and to be fair I’m making good progress. Hopefully i can get everything painted before the new expansions are shipped!

Finally for this month we have some Dropzone Commander! I’m gearing myself up for 3rd edition, having pre-ordered 2 copies of the starter set, so expect to see more DZC content from me over the coming months. It really is a fantastic game and doesn’t get the attention it deserves.

I’m aware I haven’t painted the bases for the infantry, I’m waiting until I have all my infantry painted so i can decide on a basing scheme, it will be city themed, but just how I achieve that I haven’t decided yet.

Only 22 models painted this month, however I am in the end stages of painting 36 Bretonnian Men at Arms, so next month should be a bumper month towards my painting goal for this year!

End of month status: 206/365
Backlog minis painted: 81
New minis painted: 125
