One Year & Counting: Laughing Ferret Lab is 1

One year ago I started this hobby blog.

Time doesn't march forward, it punches the hyperdrive.

So happy birthday to part of me:

The time went fast, but I did accomplish a lot of hobby:

- Met a fun local minis-game group and have had some great games with them.  This got me motivated to start painting my Quar, creating a VSF aspect to the Quar as the "Quar of Phobos", letting me paint not just the Quar but steam tanks, robots & airships for them.  And then more recently two weird war II projects of the Frau Tottenkinder force and the Belgian Liberation Army. 

- I painted a couple Blood Bowl teams for myself (though I had to sell one) and got to take part in a couple tournaments, placing Wooden Spoon in one and Overall Champion in the other.  I love you too Nuffle. 

And I've had the Blood Bowl league which is always fun.

- I've completed some other projects this year that I'd looked forward to: I 'finished' painting my Twilight Devanu and two fleets for War Rocket.  

- I had a good time with the Legends of the Old West with my Bandidos, and had looked forward to Legends of the High Seas, but not enough people could make games, so it was canceled: I had to miss a session due to working overtime hours, so I'm at fault there too.  Hopefully next season opening we'll give it another try. 

So what lays ahead for year 2?

Hard to lay concrete plans, but some things I hope for:

- Paint some more War Rocket fleets, as well as my GZG fleet and do the conversion-scratch build fleet I've had planned for a couple years now. 

- Work on the rules for a pre-history miniatures game I started writing rules for, and paint the minis for it. 

- Get back to World of Twilight and paint my Fubarnii to start, then the Delgon.

- Gladiators.

- SAGA

- I really like the look of the new Goblins from Mantic... I asked them and they said they do plan to release goblins with bows later in the year, so I'm tempted to make a large goblin army. 

- 15mm sci fi & fantasy.  I have some ideas for a 15mm large scale battle fantasy wargame, so I may work at that. 

- Work toward my goal of having 1 (or more) of each Blood Bowl team, fully painted. 

- Do the Lead Painter's League 6 Challenge. 

The Blog itself:

Mostly a big thanks to everyone who follows, visits & comments.  I could talk to myself in an empty room, which I can neither confirm nor deny, but it's much more fun to share the hobby with all of you. As of today, 137 followers, 222 posts, and closing in on 50,000 hits. You're only encouraging me, which I don't mind at all.  It's been great to 'meet' so many fun people. Thank you!
