It's All Greek to Me! (Part 5 - Painting Chart update)

"Plans gone awry"

That's the theme of late November/early December it would seem. I've had no time whatsoever to paint and a game I had scheduled with Densmol on the 30th had to be cancelled due to he and his wife being stricken with some sort of dreaded lurgey. Or another. 

So, how to make a post out of "nothing"?

Long time blog follower and very decent fellow, Iain at the caveadsum 1471 blog made good mention that I had not provided an updated Draxian* Painting Progress chart for my WW2 Greeks. This in turn made me realise that I had not updated it in a quite a while, and most certainly not for the new force organization to reflect the new 3rd edition of Bolt Action. (Which I have STILL not been able to play, yet.)

So here it is. With a key this time. 

Even though in it's current incarnation, this 1250 point Greek list doesn't include any transport vehicles, I've included them anyway so I can keep track for painting's sake.

*"What's 'Draxian'?" I hear you ask? It's the painting chart style Admiral Drax, a former blogger and now podcasting sensation used to keep track of his own projects' progress for some years whilst he still blogged. Credit where it's due, right?

Now I need to create charts for my other WW2 projects. 

It's All Greek to Me! (Part 4 - Some New Additions)

 It's a sobering thought to conclude that a full year has passed since the last time I published a post here. 

During that time this blog has had it's 13th birthday, I too leveled up and am now 48. I've played in two local Bolt Action tournaments (And came second place in both no less) and played two other games of Bolt Action with my friends Densmol and Stew, respectively. 

A little hobby has left the "Pile'O'Opportunity", with my previously posted WW2 Greeks now 2/3rds toward being fully painted (See below) and only have 44 infantry left to complete this project as it stands right now, and some terrain items constructed, though yet to receive paint. The Bolt Action rules have had a new 3rd
edition and I'm eager to have a new army painted and ready to try them out.

Real life itself has had some massive changes this year and my personal responsibilities have multiplied a hundred fold, but otherwise I'm happy, relatively healthy and only miss my freetime (Hobby time) a little. 

Forgive my not commenting on your respective blogs - I promise I have been dropping by from time to time when I find the odd moment to see what all have been up to. I'll try to work on that, though make no promises! 

So perhaps I'll have another post up before the end of the year should I manage to find time to paint or *shock horror* actually play and show pictural evidence of.

Some Great Escape Games Evzones - the first of 4 infantry squads to be painted next.
