Goals for 2024
Last year was the Year of the Tank.
I painted 9 tanks and 3 monsters, which is much more than previous years. I’m gonna call that a win!
What I missed, though, was closing out existing projects.
I currently have the following collections:
- Astra Militarum (old Cadians in red helmets)
- Astra Militarum (converted with gas masks)
- Astra Militarum (retro paint scheme)
- Astra Militarum (kitbashed from GSC Neophytes)
- Astra Militarum (tank motor pool)
- Chaos Dwarfs - blog here!
- Gloomspite Gitz Troggoths
- Gloomspite Gitz Moonclan grots
- Ogor Mawtribes
- Nighthaunt
- Age of Sigmar Malign Sorcery
- Cities of Sigmar (converted from Necromunda Cawdor)
- Turnip28
- A big heap of MDF terrain
- The terrain from Kill Team Nachmund
And… possibly more?
That is definitely too many projects - even if we were to roll the Astra Militarum into a single project (which I’m not going to).
This year, I hope to close some of these collections off, either through completion or by getting rid of them. I would also like to prevent this list from growing, so I will try to keep a one-in-one-out approach going for projects, as well as models.
Also, one of the big patterns I’ve noticed in previous years is that I tend to buy up big early in the year and spend the whole year playing catch-up. I want to try and get ahead of the pile, this year, and keep the growth under control proactively.
Also also, I’m starting the year with a total backlog of 1049. I want to get that under 1000, so I’m going to aim for Silver and a score of -50 or better.
Also also also, I’m getting married this year so I’m going to try to exercise some financial restraint!
Let’s rock and roll!
