Time to start on the pile of opportunity

Time to start on the pile of opportunity

I'll be honest with you, I've been struggling on the hobby front of late. Work, life, work and work have been killing my time and focus for anything hobby.

But work has eased off a bit now and that means I can do something that I enjoy. But instead of that I thought I would work through my pile of opportunity and get stuff built and undercoated so I have stuff to paint.

I'm not focusing on any one system, I'm just taking stuff and getting it built.

The idea of I can probably use whatever I build at some point in games like #frostgrave etc, so I'm just thinking everything goes into a bestiary that I can pick from.

There will also be other stuff like models I bought when i was actually inspired to paint them.

First up will be these four boxes. I'll post updates as I get through them.
