Well after a year + of waiting SoB first Wave
will be here in 4 days. So I'm starting my Project
Blog.

Pre-Delivery ,while waiting these many months I
have:

Created some background fluff based on
personal preferences.

-SoB Timeline

-Mine Users Guide

-Solo Set Up Guide

-Modified Mine Users & Solo Set Up
Guides to include just Wave One Core
Set Miniatures & Other Worlds.

Gathered Supplies

- New brushes (regular,detail,super detail)

-Plastic Glue

-Additional War Master paints (mostly Browns
to use for the bases)

-organizing some additional GW/Reaper paints
I already have to add to the 2 Paint Sets
coming with Wave 1. Also getting my clippers
& model files together. Found an unused Tube
of Testors Modeling Putty (great stuff for filling
gaps) & I have some Kraylon Black Primer Spray.

Ordering some Pimping stuff

-Fire Mountain Amethyst Beads for Dark Stone

-XP, Mutation, Money Cards ( Fan Creations ).

Project Room Prep

I am a Hobby Pig, which is why my wife keeps my
Hobby stuff isolated on the 3rd Floors. I'll need to get
things in order as SoB will be a major project
with larger figs & assembly. The last several Projects
have been with 6,10,20mm figs w/o assembly
which I've just handled in my east side paint
room.

Alas my paint room is rather small & filled with
stored Board Games & Miniatures stored in
Cabinets & plastic Shoe boxes. So there isn't
really room to assemble models.

I have an Assembly table in the back of my Game
Room on the west side ( thanks to the High Victorian
sense of whimsy I have 2 3rd Floors & they don't
connect. A 2nd Floor landing has 2 sets of parallel
stairs going up to each Floor) but it hasn't been used
for several years ,not since I finished a GW Lord of
the Rings Miniatures Project. Needless to say
it was filled with cut up bits from conversions &
DUST. So today I cleaned it up to be ready to start
on the figures as soon as SoB arrives. I still need to
rearrange my paint desk to pack up the GW paints
I won't need for the SoB Project.
