I have seen many posts about hobbyist posting their hobby goals and thought it was high time I did my own.
Last year, I failed.
- Complete Horus Heresey Word Bearers Army
- Complete through scenario 15 of the Stalingrad campaign
- Complete a Warhammer Fantasy Army, either high elves or Beastmen
- Inventory my terrain
- Spend less money and focus more on 3d printing
- Paint 6 Skirmish forces, either Warcry, Necromunda, Carnivale, Malifauxe, Kill Team, etc. 6 of them.
- 100 Blog Posts
That should take it. Let’s take a deeper dive.
Items 1 and 2 go hand in hand. The Word Bearers are my campaign’s crossover force, and I want them to be fully painted and realized on the table. The Stalingrad Campaign will be the blog’s feature for the next year, and 15 episodes and 30 total battles are very doable. I won’t have the first encounter before the first of February because of the remodeling work in my basement.
Item 3, The Old World, excites me; my two favorite factions are High Elves and Beastmen. Other than Seraphon. The Seraphon will not be supported. Therefore, I have to make a sacrifice and paint some elves. I started the elves last year with 80 archers in identical poses and lost motivation quickly.
Item 4, there is so much terrain. I have started. I have. So much terrain, and it’s just in boxes. Many, many boxes. I want to know what I have and where. It helps make my life simple.
For item 5, I have three working 3D printers and two others I could work on. That is more than enough to print armies and terrain rather than buy. Saving money is essential for everyone. A good thing to blog about?
Item 6, I will be excited to paint some of these small skirmish forces. Necromunda and Carnivale, in particular, sing to me and what I enjoy as a gamer.
Item 7, I gave up on the blog last year. This one will be better.
Until tomorrow, I have pictures of completed Soviets and Germans; I just wanted to get this done first.
