New Years Resolution Thread 2012

OK
This is the time of the year again, not for making resolutions but for Da Kaptain to mkae resolutions and then fail to come across on any of them! I make my own bed and its always way more populated than I can realistically do in years time. So here goes this years list of disappointments!

Convert and Paint 40 Boarboys (20 of each Pig and Savage Pig)
Convert and Paint BroadPaunch 'Ardgit (Warboss on Boar)
Convert and Paint 100 Common Goblins
Convert and Paint 40 Wolfriders

Thats my short list! I have more that I can do but for now this core of models has been with me for some time now and I have never finished them. So that is my goal for 2012. If I am able to get these done, I think I will have earned that carrot badge!

Also as a side project I am going to work towards updating the Grudge of Sheer thread also, but that takes backseat to the painting above! 2012 is going to be a busy one for Da Kaptain but I have got to do this, or die in the attempt!

Da Kaptain

I will:

1) Spend less money on Warhammer than I did this year.
2) Finish painting my Giant, my Forest Dragon and my Arachnarok.
3) Paint the base colours on all my unpainted Wood Elf models.
4) Finish building and painting my 45 squig-unit.
5) Finish painting the last few night goblins I have lying around.

As the Kaptain said, another year, another list of stuff I won't achieve. But, trying to be less specific than last year:

Paint 40 figures for my Goblin army.
Paint at least 60 figures in total next year.
Paint twice as many figures as I buy in the year.

I'm optimistic I might achieve the targets this year

Lets see........

- finish 1000 points Clan Scruten (skaven)(alfway done)
- start 'WAAAAAAAGH! Mad-Dogg!'. (at least 1000 points)
- Invasion of Marienburg II

Nice thread

Chariots!!!!!!!!!!!

last year i did not even bother trying......but this year should be a bit more predictable time wise.

2x gobbo chariots
3x orc chariot
1x orc warlord on chariot

Now I've failed to fulfill my previous two new year resolutions, so let's see if I can make it this time.

This year I will:
Paint the goblin part of the dragonback mountain Amy, including at least 50 goblins, 10 fast cav. Goblins, 6 warmachines, two chariots, and heroes.

Paint a few more orcs. 10 black orcs and 12 savage orcs

Create 6 rivertrolls and 6 common trolls.

Finish my giant

Create an orc stonehorn proxy for a second arachnarok.

Get started on the vampire army. Paint vampire, wraith, bsb, 60 skeletons and maybe some other stuff.


I think that's ambitious enough...

Well I think a realistic goal would be to finish painting 2500pts of my night goblin hoard. Oh and to start a blog on the progress.

Since I didn't manage it last year, 2012 is a copy/paste resolution:

I kinda half-jokingly mentioned it in the end of the 2011 Resolution thread, but I think, for my own sanity, I'll actually put it down as my real Resolution:

Do some Games Workshop related hobby-work sometime during the year.

Mostly, 'cause I'm so scatterbrained and easily side tracked by various projects, that I can never focus on getting any 1 unit/project finished at a time

OMG !!! we must be related

Well my Dad was in the Navy !! and the track record of my 4 brothers

throw animals, But look G we have the same Habits

and share the same eyes

OK, I failed my 2011 resolutions miserably, so hopefully 2012 will be better.

1/ Build/Run/GM/Play in at least two display games at wargames shows
2/ Paint "remaining" Skaven (the unpainted stuff that I currently own; roughly 150 Clanrats, associated weapons teams and characters)
3/ Assemble and paint my Man of War, and associated crew
4/ Finish the Blood Bowl teams!
5/ Paint 200 models in total over the course of the year

I'm cautiously optimistic that these are achievable...

finish painting my massive december addition to my waaagh (now pushing 30k with more stuff in the mail!)

I'd also like to host/run a campaign or tournament

and beat the tar out of the elves.

Looks like I've earned myself another addition to the extended family

Well, I completely failed on my last resolution but I will give myself another try to fail!

Paint at least three gobbo characters.
Paint the wolf rider boss.
Paint the remaining snotlings (4 bases)
Greenstuff and paint my giant.
Convert and paint 10 spider riders.
Build and paint an arachnarok.
Convert and paint 20 common goblins.
Build at least 4 pieces of terrain.

*Optional* create a Mordhiem warband.


For me that's a lot....

Wazpp

Errata needed!
I totally forgot my Treeman! It's a scratch built one, just waiting for the last finish, so I have to edit the second point of my resolution to this:

Finish painting and modelling my Giant, my Treeman, my Forest Dragon and my Arachnarok.
