Your 2019 hobby plans (thank you Conquistador)
(1/7) > >>
Ragsta:
Hello everyone, I hope this finds you happy and well.
Conquistador started the below thread and a bunch of us listed our hobby goals for 2017: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=94279.msg1163747#msg1163747
I looked back on this today and thought it might be fun to post our revised goals for 2019 - I'll start!
2017 GOALS
•Complete small 28mm sci fi infantry force to represented grizzled local defence forces of some grimdark far future world ::) DONE
•Round out a small 28mm cultist force. DONE
•Add flagship and massed escorts to my Ork Battlefleet Gothic force. Erm... 50%? The escorts I managed but the flagship continues to intimidate me from it's dusty shelf :'( I did, however, build 6 more Ork light cruisers to add to this force!
•Add several cruisers, multiple escorts and make some minor touch ups to my Imperial BFG forces. Ha!!! No... While I now have all the ships I want for my force in hand there was zero painting done. I did manage to convert numerous cruisers to how I wanted them but the bulk of escorts remains, and no painting was achieved here :-I
•Add more survivors, military types and zombies to my 28mm zombie apocalypse DONE A frenzy of 28mm in 2018 left me with many more zombies and apoc types than before
•Paint up BFG Necron fleet SOLD While not done at least they're off the hobby mountain - it came to a point where I realised I needed to rationalise my goals and having all these fleets was just too much for my storage and indeed my sanity
•Paint up BFG Tau fleet using GZG UNSC models SOLD
•Paint up giant Martian Tripod from Rebel Minis using base as a mini diorama SOLD Okay, again I realised the error of my ways and had to admit defeat - this little chap went to a more loving home.
CONCLUSION
I painted 66 miniatures in 2017. That is nothing compared to the frankly stupendous output of certain grizzled (and grizzly) LAF users here, but I was happy with it. 2018, however, was my most productive year for painting - 82 figures painted in total! Very pleased with that, and I have some nice completed forces to play with (nothing is ever really complete, I know I know...). I actually only have 22 28mm scale models on my to do pile for 2019 so far, which I am very happy about. I'm pleased that I bit the bullet and rationalised a bunch of my collection, it helped with my output considerably. In hindsight I probably took on too much to start with lol
2019 goals
Paint BFG Ork Flagship and light cruiser contingent (7 models)
Paint BFG Imperial merchant ships, escort and cruiser groups (14 models)
Paint BFG Eldar pirate fleet (I was weak! They were cheap darnit, yes I know they weren't mentioned anywhere earlier... (something like 20+ models)
Paint the remainder of my 28mm sci fi and zombie stuff (22 models)
This year is very much going to be a spaceship year. What are your goals for 2019?
Best wishes to all of you and sorry if this was a bit long winded!

Oh my goodness I am a cretin, sorry general!! I have edited it accordingly but I can't believe I did that (actually yes, yes I can believe it...).
So that means that I was still fighting that particular lead mountain into 2018, not just 2017... o_o o_o o_o
Wyrmalla:
As far as 2019 goes, I can only look at my current "to do" pile (and it is a pile, many piles in fact...) and groan. Still, some broad goals.
2019
* Improve my Sculpting skills. The biggee.
* Put together a set of miniatures and rules for a game set in the Sunless Sea setting (boats / terrain/ monsters).
* Complete a basic force representing Jihadists in Syria (complete at least half of the miniatures collected to date - without them being donors for another project...).
* Complete all outstanding terrain projects from 2018 (7 x industrial buildings)
* Complete all outstanding other modern miniatures projects from 2018 (3 x BTR-80 / 2 x MT-LB/ 2 x BMD)
* Get back into Frostgrave - complete existing dungeon tile set - produce secondary tile set (Dwarven ruins, etc)
* Play more Modern games (take many snazzy pictures)
So mostly finishing off stuff from 2018 (that's just the priority things listed, sitting at the cap of the to do pile, the rest are more like a permafrost...). I'm staking my career on getting into sculpting professionally, so that's my main concern for the start of the year right now (and we'll see how things are by its end).
For the short term at least I have more time on my hands than I did last year, so here's hoping I can take out a chunk of this and just coast till the New Year. ;)
