Backlog Busting

[Blissful Brushes]

Howdy hombres/hombrettes (I’m fluent in Spanishish),

 

As I’m sure we’ve all do every time we open that backlog cupboard we all wince a little at what could have been, should have been and may never be.

 

Now I am settled into my new house with a hobby room/office (my hobby room in which I have the misfortune to work), I’ve got all the bits and bobs that have been in my parents’ loft for the last decade and have had a bit of a stock check and it’s bad, not terrible but definitely not good.

 

The goal for the remainder of 2026 is to get this backlog cut down significantly so I don’t feel guilty if I buy more shiny stuff or get into the 3d printing side…

Ok, so it turns out it is actually pretty awful. 
 

My goal for the rest of the year is to put a bit of a dent in this. I have managed to complete a Votann combat patrol so I haven’t been totally idle.

 

Priorities: 

1) World Eaters, as of 10th Ed that list is a clean 1k so completing that will at least let me play small games.

2) Lizardmen Spearhead (Heresy here I know) but it’ll open another game mode to me.

3) Luna Wolves, I’ve got about 25 marines half done, the drop pod is half done as is the Sicaran so if I can just finish what I started to paint I’ll probably have a reasonable force and as they’re primaris I can probably play them in both settings if I want.

 

The Vostroyans will arrive sometime in the next 4 months and I think I know I’m kidding myself if I want to do the warhound at the moment- I have a newborn so picking up a brush or sprue for a normal dude is a lot more viable lol.
