So I’m going to attempt to do this blog thing again. This time I’m going for one to track progress over the year on several goals that I have set. Some may change over the year and more will probably be added because… it’s me and I do that.
So here is where I am at with them so far
Hobby goals
Goal 1: Orks
So my first goal will be to paint 100 power level of Orks. I will be doing this via polls on my local FB groups page (what to add to the list and what not) and things I just want to add. This will probably end up being more then 100 PL but it’s a first goal.
This goal so far: I have painted up a Wartrikk, a Def Dread, 10 Gretchen and 20 out of 30 boys for one unit. I am planning to paint up another 20 Gretchen and 10 more Boys for those units. I will also be adding another unit of Boys. From there it’s still rather open at the moment where this will go. It depends on what is under a certain tree in a few days.
Goal 2: Fyreslayers
This is one I’ve been working on for a bit but I’d like to wrap it up over the next year. I want to paint up a 2000 point Fyreslayer list. I have 10 berserkers painted of the 60 I have planned. I also have one Forge father on Magmadon along with a few other hero’s and a 10 man unit of Hearthguard. I just need to finalize a list and know what to add from there.
Goal 3: Ironjawz
When I first started going to our local GW store, there was a Path to Glory campaign starting. I built a Ironjawz warband for it. I stopped there and moved on to a 40k army. I want to return to it and round it out to a 2000 point list built around heavy hitters and speed. Goregruntas, Mawcrushers and some endless spell gears. May also include a gorefist in the mix. Get up quick and hit like a brick.
Goal 4: Dark Angels.
Going back to my roots with this one. When I started in this hobby, my army was Dark Angels. This was back in 2002 when you needed the Space Marine Codex along with the Dark Angels supplemental Codex to build the army. The army has good memories for me.
I want to return to it and bring in the new guys. My plan here is a Primarus based army with a unit of Deathknights and a Interrogator Chaplin observing them to judge if they are to be trusted. This is early in the introduction of Primarus to the Chapters. I know we are well past that in the official story line but I think it would be an interesting way of mixing them and helps bring a story to the army.
Goal 5: Armies on Parade
I want to enter it this year. Not sure which army will be on the board but I want to take part in it.
Gaming goals
Goal 1: Mind reset
So my gaming history is that from a competitive game. It was geared around tournaments. So I mentally trained myself to look for the win. As many who have played me can hopefully say , I am not the most competitive person but my mind seems to default to this old play style during a game.
My goal for this one is to make it my mental go-to to be that of a narrative player and enjoy the story being played out on the table more than anything else.
Goal 2: Play it Painted (mix of gaming and hobby here)
This is a simple one. Only play painted models. Painted models play better (totally a scientific fact right?) and it just makes the game look better on the table. So I am going to do my part and only play fully painted armies. Both for fun games and for campaigns in the store. This is really a way to motivate myself to paint all the things.
Goal 3: Well… this blog
I want to try and keep up with this blog. I want to use it as a way to express my view on things. Show off models I’ve been working on, track my progress over the year and anything else that pops into my head.
There you go. All my goals for 2019. Now some of these may change. Mostly the hobby ones. I may choose to drop the slayers and focus fully on destruction armies. The Ironjawz may be shelved for a bit to more to focus on something else that the store is doing at the time. But I am setting these goals as something to aim for. So let’s see how it progresses over the year.
