Which is good, ‘cause I’m still… SQUIRREL!!
A guest post from Inquisitor Mikey… no, I don’t know what the squirrel reference is! – Massaen
Lo there, loyal members of the Noble Imperium, warp spawned Heretics, and decidedly undecided Xenos! Inquisitor Mikey here again to talk about the mighty Imperial Guard!
Not a lot has happened since I last put fingers to keypad. A lot of listing, considering, reconsidering, re-reconsidering… and so on.
My current projected list of tasks for my Imperial Guard/Inquisition list is attached in this Kanban Flow board. Long time listeners to the ‘Independent Characters’ Podcast will be familiar with this form of project management. I am probably… ok, definitely… one of the most disorganised people I can think of. As I have mentioned previously, I have a tendency to be an ideas man… not so good with the follow through. Hency my need for structure.
What this board showed, however, was that I have most of the stuff I need! A lot of it needs finishing touches to be considered “assembled” and then I will see vast swathes of movement. None of which will actually mean I have done anything, but will make me feel better. Good enough!
I am waiting for a day or 2 of non-Tallarn weather (sorry… Imperial Guard players in-joke there) to try and put down some of the inestimable Army Painter coloured primer spray on my platoons. A little while ago I entered a Facebook competition and actually won something! And I didn’t even have to send money to cover lawyer’s fees for the millions of dollars from the lottery I never entered or from the estate of the millionaire relative I have never met! What I did have to do was provide my address and they sent me my choice of colour primer. I chose Dragon Red, which was going to be for my Daemons. Then I SQUIRRELed… and now it will be base colour for my Imperial Guard army.
Speaking of the army… I have wish-washed around that for a bit. Currently I have 2 options/plans.
Inquisitor army the First: Inquisitor with a grox-load of buddies in a Landraider redeemer, a platoon of Vostroyan infantry and some support guns, Attilan Rough Riders, Pask and another 3 tanks scattered around the army, some armoured sentinals, and some Stormtrooper/Karskin chaps in a Chimera (this is the one the Kanban board is based on).
Inquisitorial army the Second: Same Inquistor and buddies… but this time adding some Marines in the form of a LandRaider Crusader filled with Black Templars, a Deathwatch squad, and whatever Imperial Guard elements I need to make up the points from there.
Of course, by next week there will probably be another 2 or 3 options there.
Are we seeing why I need to Kanban board to get anything done?
Now. Where did I put that superglue…
