Title: 2015 New Year's Painting/Gaming Resolutions
Post by: Dave on December 23, 2014, 03:08:35 PM
Is it too early to start thinking about these? (This is a trick question, if you're not thinking about painting or gaming then you require mental evaluation).

Here's my lists!

As I don't game (no opponents), my painting list:

1 x unit Empire Knights
1 x unit Empire Cannons
5 x stands Empire Skirmishers (part done)
1 x unit Goblins (actually BOFA Goblins via ebay)
2 x units Dwarf Warriors
1 x unit Dwarf Handgunners
3 or 4 Dwarf Characters
1 x Undead Skull Chukka
1 x unit Undead Cavalry
6 x units Undead Chariots
2 x units Bretonnian Grail Knights
1 x unit Bretonnian Men-at-arms (part done)
6 x units Ethereal Host (part done)
1 x Dogs of War Hero

Plus whatever Santa brings - Eureka Chaos Dwarves hopefully, 7-8 units worth, the start of another army  :D

Oh dear, listing it out that's quite a heap of metal to work through, getting on for 100 bases! That should keep me busy for a few months.

I'm hoping to get much more painting done in 2015 than I did this year, I struggled to maintain momentum especially after that damn void spinner nearly killed me! then a nagging bout of RSI really put paid to my painting plans :(

Painting

-Paint at least another 3k of mymeara eldar, including enough options to use them as one other craftworld
-Finish my Imperial Fists army (currently at 5/12k done)
-Get some kind of Guard army painted (current plan is for vanaheim, but that may change to steel legion)
-Paint up my WM Dark Elf reinforcements (cold one knights, manticore, witch king on dragon) and Complete the basing on the whole army
-Paint up 2k of WM dwarfs

Gaming

-Get the Imperial Fists Approved, move the Siege Assault Vanguard to developmental
-Represent the UK at the european epic championship in birmingham
-Attend at least 4 other epic events while the wife is on maternity leave and can babysit!
-Attend the warmaster triwiz in november if possible
-play a different army at each epic tournament
-Play 10 games with the Imperial Fists
-Play 8 games of Warmaster
-Play at least 40 games of epic
-Run Wrath of the Tyrant 2015

My gaming/painting goal for 2015 is to actually paint some armies. I have always not gamed enough, started too many 'cool minis' and finished very little. In 2015 I will be playing;
- WWII 6mm fighter game
- DUST Warfare
- Epic Armageddon (starting a new Tau force with Onslaught Minis)
- 6mm Ancients using Impetus
- Dropzone Commander

I dont care what I paint, but it has to contribute to one of those forces and I want to take the shortest route to get a game in on a table.

Gaming? What is that? Perhaps my first game since 2013? That means table top strategy gaming. Played a lot of normal boardgames, perhaps closest to the miniature hobby are the excellent Lego Heroica games.

Painting:
2 Hellebore Frigates
1 Shadow Cruiser
1 Blackstone Fortress
Helios Firedrake
Helios Dreadnaught
and more...

I don't think any of these can be firm enough to be 'resolutions', but they're at least plans:

Paint up my Epic Guard and/or Epic Eldar and/or Epic Tyranids
Paint more Warmaster Orcs, Skaven and maybe some Khemri and/or Chaos and/or Daemons
Maybe paint up some Man o' War
My painting list will depend on what I can fit in my suitcase in the coming days  :P

For gaming- I want to finally play some games. I've found a local gaming group that may be open to corruption with Epic, Warmaster or Man o' War, as long as I can supply a starting point for various players.

I may solidify these plans in the coming weeks.

Keeping it simple ...

Stick to one game system (Warmaster) and in 2015 complete 'Dark Cathay' (usable as DE or Cathay lists).  And when that project is done, start on Beastmen.

Gaming: Play as much Warmaster as I can whilst starting to corrupt, er I mean convert some of the group to start playing Epic Armageddon again. Continue playing the new version of D&D role playing game.

Painting: Add to my Warmaster Chaos, Empire and Vampire Counts armies, finish re-basing my EA Dark Angels army and then start to model and paint up a traitor guard (Blood Pact) EA army.

Cheat by paying someone else far more skilled than I am to paint up my EA Dark Eldar force.

Mine is very simple.  To actually play a game of NetEpic, since I didn't manage a single game this year, and won't before year's end.

Goal for this year: field a completely painted WM witch hunter army in our yearly WM event.

Should schedule that one.

And help one of the other players in fielding a painted VC army.

My goal (as all the years) is to paint 52 warmaster units.

2014 I could not do it but I was close. 2013 I did it.

About games, well continue the solo campaing, try to find a warmaster opponent in Galicia and have 1 WM fantasy game and other WM historical game with Edmund in Madrid.
