Further Leviathan Musings

 Hi!

I've spent the last few days looking at my collection to see what I want to do in the coming year with regards to Leviathan.

I actually have at least the beginning of several warbands that just need a bit of fleshing out that will allow me to play a number of skirmish type games in the setting, be it Dwarf, Orc, Barbarian or even Elf so I have the option of just picking up some suitable figures to paint and cracking on.

While most of these were painted about ten years ago, I figure I could keep working in a fairly similar style and within a few months have all I need.

The other option I'm actually leaning towards is to go back to my Boar Company SD scale figures that I made myself and really dig into sculpting my own stuff again as its a really satisfying process that will allow me to get the figures that I want for my warbands.

The downside to this is that it is a pretty slow process and I'll need to pick up some fresh putty as my current stuff has started to go off...

I've also delved further into my rules collection to see what other rulesets would fit in with my ideas and have decided that it may be a good idea to have a bash at something like these:

I've got copies of all of them and they all look rather fun so maybe its time I actually bit the bullet and planned out and put into motion a project that would allow me to actually play them. I hope to build up my figure collection using whatever I decide on over the next few months and then try to play as many games as I can using as many rulesets as I can which will be a challenge in its own right!

With this in mind, I think I need to spend whats left of January making scenery which will be suitable for fantasy skirmish gaming in the wild frontiers, ruined cities and desolate spell wracked wastelands of Aeroth and see what I can come up with to set the scene before re-exploring the whole figures, rules and whatnot as I feel that if I can set up something that looks how I imagine it being I can start getting some figures fitted into the equation as I go.

With that in mind, I've rummaged out my old copy of How to Make Wargames Terrain from GW back in 1996 and will be using it to make some easy terrain to cover a 2'x2' battlefield initially before moving onto a 3'x3' setup which is the maximum space I have to work with. I'm also limiting myself to cost and attempting to just use scrap materials and to fit the lot into a single box once its done. 

Is it possible? I have no idea but I'll see what my day off today can result in!

In the meantime, All the best!
