I’m going to discuss a little about my hobby experiences
throughout the year.
Gaming: this year I have managed to play 12 games. I don’t
think that 1 a month is too bad. I would like to play more, but I am not
interested in playing at my local clubs and my usual local gamers like myself
have very busy “normal” lives, so I don’t see this amount of games increasing
next year.
I have now started to move house to a larger place. Hopefully
in the course of the next few years I will be able to create a geek palace
which allows me to have space for a permanent gaming area. My new place should
offer slightly more space for my models but I think it is initially unlikely
that they will have permanent place.
Painting/modelling: this year I have been pretty productive.
I have managed to paint a range of squads and paint some of my terrain. I have
been a member of a forums tale of painting which has focused me on painting at
least 1 unit a month.
I have a set monthly budget for models and this year I have
stuck to it well. I have purchased most
of the stuff I want to with only a few odds and sods not yet purchased (new
data cards for scars and raven guard). I tried to do a log like doc where
painting models unlocks money for new ones. Using a pretty similar scoring
system to him I only managed to paint 50% of the money I spent. Maybe I should just
double the points for each model painted!
This year I have done 2 new things, I have started my first
knight and painted from scratch a large marine vehicle (Stormraven). Both of
these are great models and I feel more comfortable painting them now.
Anyway here are some pics:
Another squad (2/5) of centurions
Stormraven just awaiting transfers
The start of the knight
Looking ahead to 2016. Hopefully I can clear my back log of
models. I did a reasonable job this year and managed to clear 30-40% of stuff I
had at the beginning of 2015. I need to go back and tidy up my battle company
with correct shoulder pad markings and chapter insignia. This may take a bit of
time but I think it will be worth doing.
I’ll sign off now as I need to prepare for the Code's special
December treat for you all.
Nice Dave.... Good to see the centurions rolling off the production line. Sensible targets and you appear to do much better at sticking to them than I do. Good luck with the new house and geek area!
