Month in Review x2 - May/June 2018

So, I wasn't lying when I said things might be delayed huh?

The car issues basically put paid to the last couple of weeks of May, and part of June, not helped by work and the unfeasibly unScottish weather...   so, hobbying kinda took a backseat, broke my streak due to being stuck away from my stuff, and kinda lost the will to do it for a bit whilst the world crashed down around me...


Right, let's recap May then shall we?

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

2 - Organise and run a two day Warmahordes event, (1/1)
Already complete.




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

4 - Maintain the Blog with weekly and monthly updates. (16/52 and 4/12)
Ahahahahahahahahahaaa.  Totally ruined.


5 - Go to 2 Gaming Shows or Conventions. (2/2)
Carronade makes 2 to complete this.


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

Done already.


7 - Play 100 Games (41/100)
Almost at the halfway point thanks to Welsh Masters and some pick-up games.



8 - Play 6 different Board Games. (3/6)
None played this month.

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


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

11 - Maintain Butcher's Guild being fully painted. (0/3 Models)
Nope. 
12 - Paint remaining Deathguard for Warhammer 40,000 (0/50 Models)
Nope. 
13 - Paint Waiqar half of Runewars Miniatures Game Starter (0/26 Models)
Guess what?  Nope.


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

Already Complete.

15 - Paint a 75pt Warmahordes List (73/73 Models)

Knocked out the park.  Painted 3 x 75pt lists for Welsh Masters, and 2 of them could hit the table at the same time.  (I think)

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


So time for some numbers then?

Painted 27 models this month.

 Played 11 games of 100, which averaged out to about 3 a week seeing as the end of the month was a write-off...


Have now finished 8 of my Hobby Resolutions, so that's half of them done before the year is half done.  Pretty good going.


Current #hobbystreakday - 149 (to 29th May)

And straight into June I guess.



1 - Transfer my flip-top paint collection to dropper bottles. (83/519)
Nope.  Just kidding, look at that jump.   I'm not sure it's actually 83 this year, but I now have 83 GW or Foundry paints in dropper bottles.   I figure I can tidy the number up over time once I get through more as it will be less to count...   This was partly prompted by the fact I needed to get back to doing some hobbying, and partly because some of those Foundry paints are aging badly and the pot lids are cracking and splitting. 

2 - Organise and run a two day Warmahordes event, (1/1)
Already complete.




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

4 - Maintain the Blog with weekly and monthly updates. (16/52 and 6/12)
Not gonna make up those missed #workbenchWednesday posts, so I'll have to get something up in their place, but getting that double Month in Review typed up now.


5 - Go to 2 Gaming Shows or Conventions. (2/2)
Already Done.   But went to the Phoenix Lakeland Wargames Exhibition.


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

Done already.


7 - Play 100 Games (50/100)
Hit that halfway point.



8 - Play 6 different Board Games. (5/6)
Had to take the old man's car into Stirling for it's service so spent the wait at Common Ground Games.  Had a tester game of Shadespire, followed by Fury of Dracula.

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


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

11 - Maintain Butcher's Guild being fully painted. (0/3 Models)
Nope. 
12 - Paint remaining Deathguard for Warhammer 40,000 (0/50 Models)
Nope. 
13 - Paint Waiqar half of Runewars Miniatures Game Starter (0/26 Models)
Guess what?  Nope.


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

Already Complete.

15 - Paint a 75pt Warmahordes List (73/73 Models)

Already Done.

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


So time for some numbers then?

Painted 16 models this month.

 Played 9 games of 100,turns out Shadespire is really quick to play and racked up a few games with that.


No additional #hobbyresolution2018 projects done, but was already at the halfway point, so that's OK I guess, plus made a bit of a dent into that paint transfer number.


Current #hobbystreakday - 17


Numbers below for how it's looking, I have a few things to post up, like Welsh, and stuff I've painted, but I'll leave that for another time.

Cheers,

John

  1. That's half of your list complete and others underway, so that's all good given the circumstances.

    1. Yeah, that's kinda how I'm looking at it. If I can focus on the projects I had planned on working on, I really only have 79 models to paint over the next 6 months, maybe a few more to fill out the Saga/HotT selections as I switched what I was doing, and still got them to fully painted playable status. The games played are ticking over nicely, and there are a couple of them that I can't knock off until the end of the year anyway.

  2. Wow! That's one organised workbench! I wouldn't get anything done if mine was like that, I'd be too busy sitting looking at it whilst wearing a single, self satisfied look (which I never do 😀)

    1. Cheers, but it's not really. I'll feel a bit better about it once I get more of the paint transferred over, so that I can gauge how much space it gives me, seeing as there are a few Foundry paints hidden away as well as some reaper ones that didn't fit...
