Month in Review March 2018

Well, here we are, a quarter of the way through the year already, it's going in quick.

So, how are things looking then?

1 - Transfer my flip-top paint collection to dropper bottles. (8/519)

Haven't done any this month.   May actually have made the problem worse as I realised when adding all of them to the paint app that there were a few I didn't have...

2 - Organise and run a two day Warmahordes event, (0/1)

Well, organization is going well.   Most of the prize support is ordered, just waiting on a couple of things, plus the trophies and awards.  Will be able to tick this off next month.

 

 

3 - Make £500 selling old models. (20/500)

Made £20 for some old warhammer models.  It's a start.  Did find a few Regiments of Renown and an old metal High Elf army whilst sorting stuff, so, hopefully can make a bit more if I can shift it.

4 - Maintain the Blog with weekly and monthly updates. (13/52 and 3/12)

On track with this, a couple of late updates, but, I'm OK with that, given my erratic sleep pattern.

5 - Go to 2 Gaming Shows or Conventions. (1/2)

None this month.  I expect Carronade in May will be the next and let me tick this off.

6 - Play 6 New Opponents. (5/6)

Getting there with adding another 3 this month, should be able to clear this by Welsh Masters in May.

7 - Play 100 Games (20/100)

Slightly lagging here, as I should be closer to 25 to be on track, however, the time invested in painting this year means I have a number of new toys to put on the table, so, theoretically, I can play more games now.

8 - Play 6 different Board Games. (3/6)

Halfway there already after adding Zombicide to the list.

9 - Play 3 New Games or New Editions of Rules (3/3)

8th edition 40k and Gaslands added to the list to clear this one.

10 - Paint 4pts of Normans for SAGA. (4/4pts, 21/28 models)

Finished this with my 2 units of Mounted Hearthguard and Levy, added to the Priest from last month.  The total is a bit off, as I did the Priest rather than a unit of crossbow armed warriors.

11 - Maintain Butcher's Guild being fully painted. (0/3 Models)

Nope.  Blocked in some of Veteran Ox's skin, but that's it.

12 - Paint remaining Deathguard for Warhammer 40,000 (0/50 Models)

Not got to these guys yet, although I did prime the remaining Poxwalkers.  She didn't help matters by buying me another character model.

13 - Paint Waiqar half of Runewars Miniatures Game Starter (0/26 Models)

Not got to these either.

14 - Paint a 15mm Hordes of the Things Army (14/14 Elements)

Was already done.  Do have a few more elements to add, as I miscalculated the original list, but it is still over 24AP.

15 - Paint a 75pt Warmahordes List (0/? Models)

Nope.   Been inundated with requests to build/paint models for people to borrow for AFD though...

16 - Paint the Hog Wild Malifaux box (6/6 Models)

Was already done.






So I currently have 6 models part done on the workbench, over half way with them as they've had all the base coats and wash done, and the highlights have been started.

There are another 24 primed and washed with the bases mostly done, plus the 3 Guildball and 5 commission pieces sitting part done.


This month I have played 6 games of my 100, and finished 26 models and an objective marker.

Currently finished 4/16 of my hobby resolutions, so I am on track for this point in the year.  I've updated the spreadsheet list with a colour code for how I (currently) think things will progress over the rest of the year.  Some are time specific, like running APRIL FUEL DAZE, some I won't know until the end of the year, like keeping the blog updated and whatnot.  I've also tried to separate out the three big painting projects too.


Short and sweet I guess, been a lot of stuff going on that there really isn't a picture for, as it hasn't arrived or whatever, or has been stuff like emailing and organizing, so, wouldn't be a great picture anyway.  That should be sorted soon though, after AFD I can get back to more physical hobby goals.

Cheers,

John
