After losing my general miniatures Mk 2 blog nearly a year ago I felt it was finally time to start a new one, thus is born Mk 3. While I have not posted anything outside my Dog Wars Campaign blog, I have not been idle. For the past few years I have been saying, "No new project!", and by that, I mean less than a dozen. OK, so I have a bit of an issue when it comes to miniatures. I have rarely met a miniature I didn't like, or gotten a boardgame that I don't think, you know what would make this better? Miniature. With that said here are pictures of my latest projects over the past months.

Only four months into the year and already jumped to five projects. I wonder what I could accomplish if I stayed focused?
A little background on the Punic Wars / Hyboria. This is my oldest miniatures project. Begun in my teens when all I played was D&D and boardgames, plus it was a time I still built models. I picked up the February 1978 Battle for Wargamers Magazine. In it were two articles that caught my interest, Stuart Asquith's Battles of the English Civil War for Wargamers, and Tony Bath's Hyboria - The Campaign That Grew. After reading these I was hooked. From this point on I wanted to play with figures in everything. Within a short time, I had picked up Tony's Setting Up a Wargame Campaign and proceeded to start collecting Carthaginians while my key gaming buddy went for the Romans. Needless to say, I made every mistake you can, mostly being way to ambitious and the whole thing fell apart. Over the next forty odd years I have started and stopped this project at least a half dozen time, yet I continue to strive to make this work. More on this as things progress.
