25 years of minis and counting: First half a year on my painting desk

Steady pace of painting continues

Last year I painted or finished 679 miniatures, after six months of this year my standing is as follow:

So, a little bit behind in finished miniatures, but knowing again how many started new minis there are, I think I'm more than up to speed compared to last year. Covid-19 lock down gave every one a lot of time to spend at home, but that didn't really boost my productivity dramatically - I really seem to need the "next game" to drive my painting and you don't need to paint anything for playing with Tabletop simulator.

My projects have proceeded very well:

New Projects 2020

Currently I have two projects ongoing / prepared:

Star Wars Legion: Battle of Hoth - 2 / 3 games played
Map based campaign for Song - campaign completed

I'm certain that these shall be my new painting projects for 2020:

Saga Age of Magic Undead - army painted
ASOIAF: Targaryens (starter set should soon be here) - army painted (and more coming)
Anno Domini 1666 -miniatures (When the kickstarter is delivered) - first warband painted and several games played

Possible New Projects

Painting WW2 German Africa Corps for Bolt Action - 1000p. army painted

What else have I painted?

Looking at what I've played these first 6 months: 41 games of ASOIAF and 25 times other games, it's no surprise, that my painting has been quite focused on ASOIAF minis. Besides Targaryens I have painted these:

Night's Watch Ranger Hunters

Marvel Crisis Protocol

Bought this game because first born girl is a huge Marvel-fun. We haven't played that many games, so I've restrained myself from buying more stuff to this game. The game is actually very cool, so I should run a demo of it at our club.
