2nd Quarter 2018 Statistics



Well almost 3 months later, here are the stats for the 2nd Quarter of 2018!


Expenses:

April 2018
Brigade Games $61.70 (remainder of the Spanish Cavalry figures, French Intelligence officer).

May 2018
Front Rank $102 (Nassau Infantry regiment,, Spanish, French, and Bavarian officers). Lodestone Kickstarter (buildings) $280.

June 2018
Staples 58.83 (Really Useful Boxes w/ $25 off coupon).

2nd Quarter Totals:  $502.53  Still well over budget, although the KS was the big (and unanticipated) item this quarter, and I think that will be a good investment for the long haul. And here we have Lodestone appearing, a word that became famous last month in the search for the "highly placed official in the Trump administration" who authored the anonymous NY Times editorial!


Painting:

April 2018
20 Spanish Cavalry, (8 Hussars, 6 each Garrochistas and 2 Line Cavalry Regiments) - 200 pts
18 Spanish Infantry (Regiment del Rey) - 90 pts
2 mounted Spanish Officers 20 pts

May 2018
36 Spanish Militia - 180 pts
24 Spanish Guerrillas - `120 pts

June 2014
6 Spanish Cavalry (completing Garrochistas and the 2 Line Cavalry regiments) 60 pts
3 Spanish mounted officers, 6 foot figures/command and 1 dog(!) - 62 pts
6 pontooniers - 30 pts
1 Foot and 1 Mounted French Intelligence officer - 15 pts
18 Spanish Light Infantry, 1805 uniform - 90 pts
18 Gordon Highlanders - 90 pts (Highlanders should count double, shouldn't they?!)

2nd Quarter: 957 points, all Napoleonic, and almost all Spanish, as expected. Painting will doubtless slack off a lot in the 3rd quarter, as usual!

  1. Fair old spend but you've surely justified it with the number of figures painted!( And yes surely highlanders count double!)

    1. I have alreay painted almost everything I bought that quarteer already, save for some of the Front Rank command figures for France and Bavaria, which I purchased mostly as I *will* be needing them, and the postal charges are so horrendous it doesn't pay to wait!

  2. 18 Gordons...the joy of tartans overwhelm the difficulty painting, that's why they still count as one. Hungarian sword knots, however....

    1. I have the Black Watch about 60% complete, Joe, so I have to make myself complete them. After that, I will still have figures to do two more kilted regiments, so I have to find a home for that unpainted lead soon!

      I like Hungarian knots on trousers, though! :-)

  3. The painting return well outstrips the expenditure, so you must be very satisfied with that.

    1. In general, yes, but the lead pile is substantial now. However, there only a few additions I plan on making in the next year or so!
