...And another project

This one project, at the moment, being short-term, compared to the others. What I am working on:
  • JCW/JWI Imagi-Nation armies
  • 30YW Imagi-Europe
  • Medievals for Inter Arma and A World in Chaos
  • Strictly speaking: added to the medievals and no efficient work until now on the plastic fort
  • 28mm Landsknechts (still a plan)
  • Ordering & painting Risk armies
You can see that long-term for me means it's never going to be finished. Keeps me busy all the time and that's good. From my posts the good people who read them could have already guessed that I paint rather randomly (as is said in the blog title), so no wonder there are so many things running simultaneously.

The new project is a spin-off of the last one mentioned: Risk. Nobody in the household needs the figs provided for the set and replacements can be bought for cheap.

The roughly sketched background for the new project is already here: I'm building a tricorne Fricklander force with some conversions shown earlier. I will make a more detailed map later, people liked my last one.

Here's a complete unit listing for a Fricklander army in Pastebin. This tool is a tad simple but it is easy to store information.

One more question before going on (and check the poll in the sidebar): as during term I spend most of my weekdays in the student hostel where painting for obvious reasons is a no go, I'm thinking of starting a Cossacks Imagi-Nations campaign on a hex grid map, and on a new blog. The question is: do you have any interest in that? Share in the comments or answer the poll please.

Some more background informations


Fimarekon, the other side of the Gate in Dorfainen, is a globe-shaped planet - on the map, some sketches of the important parts of Fimarekon.
The two countries actually participating through the Gate were Crontaineville and Frickland. Frickland fought at the Jackewlinese, Crontaineville at the Dorroseani side of the war - both went for military experience (as the warfare in Fimarekon was more backward) and - obviously - monetary reasons, e. g. loot (this is more significant at the Crontaineviller side). Frickland and Jackewline had strong bonds earlier - Jackewlinese officers studied at Zwetschgebad Academy and helped the country during the colonization of Malacha with sea and land power. All the other participants of the war were the surrounding countries of north-western Dorfeion.

Also, Wow! I've just made five posts in a row (this is Sunday 0:00am here :D) And this is the last of the chain made then and divided throughout the week.
