In WMH, I plan to field a Cryx are to battle, also in RTTs.

In 40k, I'll try to keep up with my existing armies. No new army planned.

At the beginning of every month, plan out what I will do this month with a fixed budget. And continue doing this the whole year.

I will complete my Tyranids and hopefully get into Xwing, DZC, or firestorm armada.

40k wise, I'm going for a new army in the new year. Check out my blog over the next week or so and you can see what I do.

Also, I'll be picking up Xwing. Got the starter set, and having had (more than) a few games already, I'm looking at getting a few B-wings, headhunters and possible a few E-wings over the next few weeks so I can use my own stuff when I play and not have to borrow friends stuff.

In 40k I'm hoping to finish my Imperial Gaurd army (that's taking over a year already..) and after that either a new 40k army or starting whole different game.

Plan to paint up some infinity stuff

Finish a flames of war british 53rd welsh army

Paint up some samurai

Learn to play infinity and xwing

Build fantasy terrain and add a river piece to my table.

Paint Bolt Action collection and adapt board to 28mm WW2.

Play Battletgroup Overlord every weekend.

Go to Siege of Augusta.

Take pictures of all said awesome nerd projects.

Keep up with 40k releases for my existing armies (just purchasing, not even assembling)

Throw money at Mantic for anything sci-fi they do

Play a few games of Dreadball, Deadzone and Relic Knights and paint at least a model or two for each of them.

Throw money at a certain Chinese gentleman

Expand my Forgeworld collection

If-I-Have-Time-And-Energy wishlist:

Finish developing my zombie game

Paint a 40k army

Now that is army to game with. Still play Khador from time to time.

Also thanks for the consistent informative posting over the years. You are one few that when posting I'll read because on how positive and thoughtful on how you approach a topic.

WH40k
Finish painting my Iron Hands, Space wolfs and Tyranids

WHFB
Finish the last of my Infernal Guard, before I find some new source for continued reinforcement to my Chaos dwarf army.

Finish my High Elfs aka get around to painting the last of my Silver helms and Dragon princes alongside their commander.

Flames Of War
One goal and that is to complete my Hungarian army, so I have quite few Pnz 38t to paint, and a handful of infanteri teams to finish of

My biggest ambition is to recreate the Battle of Tewkesbury (War of the Roses) in 28mm. I've got most of the minis, now I just need to put my head down and get on with it!

Would love to get round to playing in more events this year, inc. Infinity ITS and hopefully a SAGA one in February as well.

Hi Adam, thanks, I can give you the compliment back as you're also one of the persons here whose comments I'm looking for.

Here are some thoughts:

1. Get my free Big, Stompy Robot game called JUGS upload to the Free Wargames Wikia.

2. Play a few Demo games of JUGS and post up Batreps

3. Paint up enough Glaidators to play a campaign of The Games: Blood and Spectacle

4. Continue to work on the following Rules projects:
--- The Dakota War of 1862- A historical game
--- Of Blood and Irongard- Necromunda Mod
--- Combat! Starring Vic Morrow- A WWII on TV Skirmish Game
--- Half a Loaf of Kung Fu- A Miniature Skirmish Game
--- Under the Eagles- A fantastical ahistorical Napoleanic ruleset

5. Play a Game of Blood Bowl every other Month

6. Play and create 3 Batreps for Aeronautica Imperialis

7. Paint the rest of my Varingyr Brotherhood for Aeronautica Imperialis

8. Paint my Stalwart Class Crusier for Aquanautica Imperialis

9. Pick-up Robotech RPG Tactics

10. Pick-up All Quiet on the Martian Front

Try and get the following stuff done for a Summer campaign: Questoris Knights, a 400 pt Deathworld veteran combat patrol, a 30K Rogue Trader warband of sorts and around 2000 pts of regular old Imperial Guard.

Just getting my foot in the door with WH40k! But I plan to involve myself in as many games as I can in 2015 to learn and expand in it all. Pretty excited!

Paint everything I have thats not finished before I buy new models (might enforce this AFTER the new necron dex comes out though)

Still debating if I should include tyranids with that or not, dont really like playing nids.

I plan to get a few games of Battlegroup or other ww2 based games under my belt.

That means getting some 1/72 forces together so I guess I'll have to build and paint the german units I have sitting in my cupboard and decide on some opposing forces to go with.

Couple that with building enough scenery for the above as well.

I also plan to look further down the rabbit hole that is X-wing and STAW.

Maybe I'll finally take the plunge and try Infinity too.

I want to game more, primarily, but given how my gaming group has kind of disintegrated over the last year that may or may not be possible.

Other than that, my main aim is to get 2 forces painted and based for every system I play before September when I go off to uni. This means finishing at least one of my SM armies to my best standard, starting up another Malifaux faction, expanding my PanO and Nomads and continuing my Star Wars stuff for my homemade SW ground (40mm) and space rulesets (both of which also need finishing up.

I also want to hit 365 minis painted next year. In 2014, as of last week, I was something like 150ish bought to 285 painted, so I'm hoping to push both those totals up next year.

Planning to muck about more with 6mm Fantasy and Epic and create a nifty space fleet with GZG ships and hopefully get some games with it using Firestorm Armada rules.

Compete in every Guardians of Tyr WM/H tournament in my town, however im on the back up list for the first one >.<

I would like to compete more in WM/H after coming third in my clubs tournament and 3rd in last years Guardians league, which. Is great as I was only at two thirds of the events.

Keep on top of my painting! All of my Cygnar, Mercs and Menoth are painted, I have two 35pt Circle armies yet to build or paint and will likely end the year with around 3 50 point options!

Conquer my anxiety enough to start regularly going to my FLGS for Flames of War.

Going to get everything I have painted and play a few games of WHFB with my dad.

Until then, we might go old, old, old school and play a game of Tactics II, which I just found out in his garage.

+ Finish painting my eldar
+ Finish my Knight
+ Finish my CSM
+ Start my KoW Abyssal army and play KoW
+ Finish my Zombicide painting

I find first game in a new flgs is the hardest. After you start to get to know people it's not too bad. I went to one in essex with the girlfriend. Was uncomfortable at first but they made me feel really welcome and got me involved it was a lot of fun. Was meant to join them for fow too but haven't had the chance yet.

Need to paint a couple of divisions of British for a 15mm 200th anniversary of Waterloo game, and I'm starting to brick it. (I'm not a very fast painter)

Otherwise, get together some Uruk-Hai and converted historicals for Mayhem mass battles.

Test my custom chapter colour scheme on a couple of 40K minis and then build the actual chapter in 6mm.

Take another look at some of those random fantasy minis in the lead pile that would actually make a coherent couple of skirmish warbands.

It's not a new one; I was going there and to my local GW regularly--and had been for years--until my mental state tanked. It's taken years, several different anti-depressants, several courses of therapy (including upcoming ones), and a steady flow of anti-anxiety medication to get back to the point where I can even consider going again, never mind actually doing it.

Sounds rough mate. Sincerely hope you get past it soon. I would offer to have a game with you but I am no where near you.

First of all, getting some playtime with the games I own that I haven't played yet. Secondly, paint more miniatures than I buy.

Flesh out my Host of the Eternity King a bit with some Dark Elf Core, and a couple singles (sorceress, assassin). Finish up my Ogres (which basically means "buy box of leadbelchers and second cannon - done!).

Picked up Xwing, so mission for 2015 is "get Slave 1 and Millenium Falcon". They are getting pretty hard to find, and are due for reprint, so i may have to wait for that as i've hit every barnes and noble within reasonable driving distance and no one has 'em. (as an aside, jesus christ if they made this game with WWII planes, you would have trouble getting me to leave my local game store!).

Uhm... past that... for the first time in probably ten years, do more painting of minis than buying of minis. And play more games (which i'm onto a great start, i'm getting about a half dozen 2500 point games of WHFB per month right now which is pretty cool, up about 50% over this time last year).

Thinking about it, my new years resolution should be that I won't buy any new games this year.

Yeah I think that will be the same for me. Only caveat being I will buy rules that I already have models to use with.

I'll be spending a good chunk of the year in Afghanistan, so I won't be purchasing much. My laptop can't handle to many newer games, and I've already got all the old games that I play on here. Tabletop wise, baring Fantasy taking off in the local area, I don't see myself buying anything. I've got all I need 40K wise, and no one here plays FoW, so no need for that...

I should probably add that I shouldn't buy any more paint, I already have more colours than I use.

If I really feel the urge, I can always download some rules or make some of my own. My friends have all kinds of games, and I can also just walk down to the public library and borrow a video game or a RPG book.

The priority how ever will be to play the games I already have.

I've been constructing my IH army, which is the first army I've put together in 8 years-haven't played 40k in soooo long. So, this year enough of the army needs to be finished that I can christen it on the table-it's taken me 18 months to get sort of close, thanks to work getting in the way :(

Hmm, well the first thing I want to do is get a nice army together for Kings of War and Warhammer (ie same army in both games). I've already made a start on that in fact. Got one of each box from the Wargames Factory Rising Sun range on their way to me.

I plan to use them as Empire in Warhammer and Kingdoms of Men in Kings of War. Obviously that leads to the goal of playing more Wahammer and actually starting to play Kings of War. I'll probably stick to around 1000pts (WHFB) and 750pts (KoW) for a while to learn the army and get everything painted.

I want to play more Bolt Action and actually finish an army at some point. Got 500pts each of German Heer, Poles and Soviets and 1000pts of German Fallschirmjager all hanging around mostly unpainted.

I need to play more Star Trek Attack Wing simply because I love it. Probably got enough ships by now that I don't need to buy any more but I'll probably cave in and buy a few more at some point.

Oh and then there's my ever growing board game collection, I will almost certainly keep adding to that. There's loads of great board games out there and I've now got a semi regular gaming group meeting and my house so I've got an excuse to get more (yay!).

Finally if possible I'd like to build a gaming table in my spare bedroom but that really depends on how much money I have spare since I also need other furniture at some point.

Im doing something similar if at a glacial slow pace. Please share what you are doing would love to see your army progress.

When it comes to painting I'm fairly glacial too. I am planning on doing some sort of plog thingy though which will no doubt like all others I've done get abandoned at some point because I'm too lazy to take up to date photos.

Finish up my necrons and get my vampire counts going

As fir WMH id like to get my khador sold as I have totally lost interest in it

Well do me a favour and send me a pm when you start it would love to see it. Feel free to click the link in my sig to see mine.

At some point, figure out which Star-Wars thing to invest in:

-Armada
-Scum
-Raider/TIE Advance

I can only afford two.

Plan to paint up my Warzone Mishima army and try to get more local players into the game.

Will do, already had a look at your army, very nice so far.

I have so much to paint this year. Finishing painting off my Menoth army before I add anything. Also have about 100 clanrats that I have to finish painting this year. Had to take a long break from the clanrats because it just gets to boring. So for 2015 i plan on painting everything I have before I buy anything, don't want to dig the hole Iam in any deeper.

In order of priority;

Necromunda
Afterlife
Blood Bowl
Inquisimunda
Kill Team 40k
40k
Mordheim
Epic

Learn to play Deadzone, and paint my Enforcers

And keep throwing pretty much all my money at Wyrd Got at least three Malifaux tournaments I'm attending this year already.

Who knows, I might even find time to paint my Zombicide set as well.

Thank you.

If you want a slightly smaller samurai goal to work out check out ospreys ronin rules. 10 or so models is enough for a buntai and you can use those same models for KOW

Fairly simple for me, just paint my WFB O&G and Bloodbowl team.

Things that can potentially ruin my plan, Zombicide season3 or starting a new WFB army.

1. Keep playing in local community games,
2. Expand my SAGA collection by finishing my Welsh waband, adding to my Normans, and buying some terrain.
3. Play some Battletech with the new 2014 Introductory Set.
4. Wait for and then play the Second Edition of Strange Aeons that I helped kickstart earlier in 2014.
5. Maybe pick up something to do with WWI. Baccus now has a great 6mm range and a starter set coupled with a digital set of Great War Spearhead II.

And, most important,
6. KEEP PAINTING!

I finished my Convergence army, so this year I want to finish my Khador army and start my Merc Army. (Llaelese resistance!)
I want to start Star Wars Armada and Robotech.
Learn the the new N3 rules and get gaming with my Nomads.

There has never been a better time for gaming! So much cool stuff out there!

My goals are:
1.) To get my Imperial Japanese force for Bolt Action up and running asap.
2.) Paint enough Tyranids to play a game.
3.) Paint Space Hulk.
4.) Finish my FoW Soviet army.
5.) Paint my Ronin buntai.

Most of those are already bought so it's just painting work. However it will take me a while so I need to try to avoid buying new stuff. I'd also like to increase the level of my painting so I feel they're painted good enough.

I got some blood angel stuff for Christmas so I will be making a flesh tearer army with loads of conversions and what not.

I also hope to get some games in with it and make it company strength plus support

For Malifaux:

1) paint what I have allready, about 6 crew boxes 15ish human sized individuals and 4 big guys (50mm, HT 3-4)
2) ALL THE ARCANISTS!!! (Marcus, beasts, and anything new )
3) pickup Levi, the Vics, atypical nephlim, and Pigs.
4) average one game night every 2 weeks minimum.

For other stuff:

1) paint my Steampunkers and Wild Westerners for a steampunk-ish RPG campaign. (Malifaux / Iron Kingdoms / whatever else looks like fun mash-up)
2) finish my mirror dog Trollbloods, Circle, and Enforcers.
3) limit myself to new stuff for games I've allready started and still want to play.

1. Switch over to P3 paints.
2. Finish up my Rivet Wars core set (plus 2-3 of the expansion packs)
3. Stick to my goal of only 2 Kickstarters per year (succeeded this year!)
4. Up my painting game - hopefully because of the Figone painting book I pledged for (1 of the 2). Learn 2 brush blending.
5. Sell some stuff, and make sure my painting total is greater than my minis purchased. (Failed this year :/ )
6. Paint up a few of my Warmahordes starter sets.
7. Keep inching along with FF stuff.

I wanna start a YouTube channel dedicated to 40k, I close to retiring from my current job in 5 years. Would like to see if I can make money with 40k on YouTube.

I'd like to offer some painting tutorials, terrain tutorials, battle reps and monthly painted model give aways.

Since I'm getting a divorce this coming up month, perhaps spend sometime doing stuff I like to do.

1. Play more.
2. Don't buy as much.
3. Paint more.
4. See backlog diminish.

I really don't play as often as I want to. Maybe once a month, or every 2-3 weeks if I'm lucky. Buying cool new models is my other main problem, and right now I need to stop spending money. So I want to concentrate on my backlog, in this order.

1. Infinity Haqqislam. These guys are now roughly 50% finished. I should be able to plough through them.
2. Infinity Tohaa. These guys haven't been started at all, and I really want to take a crack at painting them.
3. Malifaux Neverborn. I do these guys occasionally to break up my Infinity backlog and inject a bit of Fantasy into my sci fi painting. So they're not super urgent because they get done anyway.
4. Zombicide. I just got into these games, and they're super fun. But these minis need painting. There's so many of them. I'll probably take the same approach with these as I am with Malifaux. Prime 5-6 zombies and paint them between Infinity models. This helps with the repeat model syndrome the game has going on as well.

Overall I just need to paint more. I used to paint every night, a little or a lot, just to keep the brush practice up, but life has gotten in the way. I need to get back into it.

1. Finish painting my FoW US Armored Rifle Company + Support
2. Paint the Hobbit starter set party (don't judge me - I love The Hobbit and got the game for 45% off retail).
3. Paint my new Malifaux stuff, when it arrives
4. Zombies!
5. Make a start on my Persian Invasion of Greece stuff.

Fortunately, it's all based on stuff I already own.
Unfortunately, it's a lot of painting and I'm unbelievably slow.

2015 will be the year of MORE DAKKA!!!

I plan to completely mobilize my orks and increase my blast and large blast weaponry.

I also plan to bash kit up some Forge World vehicles to supplement my normal vehicle list and convert my real old trukks into a force of Warbuggies.

If it all works out I will have 100 boyz and around 50 to 75 specialists (elite and heavy support types) all in trukks, battlewagons, big trakks, junkas and such. I will have a collection of grot tanks, a grot mega tank and at least one big trakk with the biggest effing gun I can mount. My artillery options will be 5 each of bubblechukkas, kannons, Smasha Guns and trakktor kannons to mix and match along with plenty of mega armor choices to march them up the battlefield and give the gretchins some serious protection.

I plan to perfect my Death Star formation. Artillery units surrounded by trukks and armor filled with boys all moving slowly forward slamming the enemy with whatever damage would be most effective. The mass dropping off units to take and hold objectives as it moves along the board like a massive amoeba of death and destruction.

I'm gonna echo the sentiment of painting more and buying less. We'll see though!

I'd like to get more gaming in, be it X-wing, Pulp Alley, or what have you. I'd like to see a few games of Infinity to justify the growing collection but they're fun enough to paint for the sake of it.
A short list...
I wanna start and finish Icestorm. Preferably *all* of my unpainted Infinity.
Get at least one strike team done for all 6 deadzone factions.
Finish at least one of my 2x2' semi-static boards. Either 'Tank Graveyard' or 'Desert Outpost'.
Further flesh out my MA collection (but I'm not ambitious enough to say *all*).
Paint at least a bit from all backed KS projects, and try to cut down on further backed projects

Hmmm, paint up the Circle stuff that I got for Christmas and learn how to play Hordes! There is a fairly decent amount of WM/H players in my area (Oxford), but they meet on a Monday from 6pm and I tend to work til 8pm every Monday.. Although I'm off work tomorrow, so may well pootle along and see what's what.

Other than that, I must save more money for Salute this year. I always promise myself that I'll take £500 but normally only manage around half of that. But with my plans to quit smoking next year (yay vaping!) then I might actually pull it off. If I do then I think I may well start Carnivale as well. The minis really appeal, as does the setting.

We shall see...

Just getting back into wargaming...

1. Get my knack for painting back..
2. Build and paint a modest 2k Eldar force so I can battle. I picked them before looking at stats tactics ability... wraith look badass... Didint want to go space everyone plays marines.. although they be dirt cheap on ebay
3. Get a small HE 1-1.5k points army. A nice regiment of phoenix Guards cant wait to paint those bad boys..
4.Once my painting is up to scratch.... Behold the Carnosaurus into dragon mount conversion... I have always wanted to this...

If Asuryan gods willing I manage to do the above... then I'm going to go for one of the Darklands monster things. dragon or demon type mini.

Got a 6K pincer apoc game planned for the first of the year, wolves vs Black Tauplar

I have a project box of plastic that weighs about 12 lbs and needs to be painted and assembled (damn you ebay!!!)

I think I might open up a painting blog to keep myself motivated and on track

I've just got Imperial Assault and have Star Wars:Armada pre ordered so gaming wise I think Star Wars will dominate 2015.

Though painting wise I do have plenty of 15mm WW2 to catch up with.

Building up my Dropzone Commander Resistance forces, finding someone to play FS:A with, and starting Yu Jing to join our local Infinity group. I am stoked for the Sectorial Chinese heavy infantry.

infinity is the game wanna start this year
build up my merc in war machine
play more dreadball

Lots of jobs this year:

1) Finish my Space Wolves. I finished building the last model today! Just need them painting now.
2) Finish building the infantry of my Dark Angels Battle Company.
3) Procure my armour for the above.
4) Paint up the Space Hulk minis.

There are also Deathwatch, Ravenwing, Deathwing, Blood Angels & Tyranids armies to sort, but they are all on the back burner.

I. WILL. GET. AT. LEAST. ONE. ARMY. FINISHED!!!

Well, not so much of a resolution more of a determination:

1) Get painting and slow my buying!
2) Get my 30k Alpha Legion and White Scars forces painted
3) Get my Epic Imperial Guard, Eldar and Storm Lords armies somewhat painted
4) Get my Dropzone Commander starter sets painted
5) Get my Darklands Fomoraic painted
6) Make some Terrain!

It's a tall order, but I have to start somewhere!

Oh, and finally:

7) Play more games than I have been lately!

1) Paint more models than I buy is my main one.
2) Get started on my BA USMC.

I want to build up my Imperial alliance and Chaos to 1750pts.

Base at least 1 model this year: painting is no longer enough!

And find at least 1 person who can beat my CSM Daemon Prince in a casual (read: in-campaign) game, as him killing himself with his own f*****g mace doesn't count
Man, even GK and Black Templar marine tide failed the other day!

Finish painting my Coven, and convert a dozen or so more wracks.

Sell off the extraneous DE i don't need.

Play more with them.

Sell off any 40k stuff not already specifically picked out for my painting/modelling projects (mostly out of the hhhobby now )

Paint up and play my Circle Oroboros, Menoth and Trollbloods. Possibly expand my trollbloods and menoth a bit (and get the last model i want for my Circle)

Learn to play X-wing (just got the starter)

Finish painting up my Dreadfleet and Space Hulk. and play them both more.

Build scenery for Necromunda, and play that more.

looks to be a busy year...

Finish my Sons of Orar army. Add RT elements to up to date Space Marines.

Finish entire board worth of custom terrain.

Selling my army and quitting wh40k for good. This game is so imbalanced, nonsensical and greedy.

Waste of 6 years of my life and $1500.

There are lots of games out there that are balanced, make sense and frugally sensible!

If you're thinking of doing so, don't give up on wargaming, take a look at this thread here for an idea of some of the other games out there http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/369662.page

Probably if you made a thread about what kind of game you wanted to play, you would get plenty of ideas thrown your way that way too.

Continue painting my Custom SM Chapter. Painting only, hopefully I'm not buying more miniatures for a while. Hopefully play with them too

Start playing Infinity, already have the N3 book, slowly reading it.

I think that's pretty much it.

I'm planning to actually start playing again. I just recently got the bug to play 40k again, but with Holidays and trying to sell some stuff I don't play anymore, I've been a bit busy.

Right now, I'm working on Orks, Tyranids and I'm thinking about trying to pick up a HORDES army, probably Trollbloods.

Local Fantasy players are starting up a campaign so I'm going to be doing that.

Paint all the things!

Build a modular table that will work across multiple games.

Get waist deep in Firestorm: Planetfall! And look into a second fleet for FSA so I can start Spartan Vanguard.

Find a game in the gaming void that is south-central New Mexico.

Oh!

Almost forgot... extend my 6 x 4 table to 8 x 4.

Also build nice foam scenic bases for my second watchtower, and my witchfire tor, complete with canabalizing all the neat little bits i've been meaning to use on terrain forever and a day.

GAMES!!! I need more of them.

Twice-monthly board game night.
Run an RPG module every couple months.
More yahtzee with my war dollies (elves elves ELVES!)
Introduce some new people to Malifaux (finally built enough buildings for it!)

I need to get a new 6x4 board sorted, nothing fancy just a board, as soon as possible. I am also planning on ordering a gaming mat and increasing my ruined buildings to make a nice city map for my 40k games.

Painting is also a priority at the moment because I seem to be buy models faster than I can put them together let alone paint them. I will set a target time of one month from now to have at least one of my armies fully painted.

-

Finish assembling and painting my 100 conscripts for my IG. And then call it over for 40K collecting.

Expand my Malifaux collection to round out a basic Nephilim list, then focus on my Ten Thunders and the odd Ressurectionist models I might need.

Assemble all the Dreamforge goodies that surely will come in 2015.

Paint my Tablescapes that will also come in 2015 (fingers crossed) and then focus on terrain for the rest of the year. 2015 is going to be the year of painted terrain.

Paint all the models I own...

Seriously though, clean up the queue on my painting table so that I can devote myself to reworking my Sisters army.

Having just started my Death Korp army in 40k, I have a whirlwind of plans.

Learn to airbrush to save time on painting tanks and basecoating infantry.
Paint and assemble 5000 points of Death Korps
Continue to help my step son embrace the game (He just decided on DA)
Purchase a few models for a second army.
Try and get back into RPGing locally

I'm going to revamp my Guard army. I'm going to strip them all bare, buy a bunch of beret heads for them and paint them in a green-grey color scheme. Then I'll start work on my Ork army.

Just getting back into the hobby and plan on investing quite a bit into Warmachine, Infinity and Malifaux in the coming year... good times ahead.

Finish painting another army in some form or another. Beyond that, nothing else - I find it discouraging and ultimately counter-productive trying to set myself goals of any sort given the pull on my free time these days from other sources.

I'm seriously considering quitting. I've barely had time to play games,I still paint the odd model but it's going slow. I wanted to paint up two 15mm WW2 forces (British and German) to play games with mates... but it's taken me several months to paint only 6 tanks and a handful of infantry which isn't even enough to play a game and so now I'm losing motivation on it. Given most my day to day work is in front of a computer (well, it varies, sometimes I get out and about, but mostly just computer) I want to take up hobbies that get me off my arse, not spending even more time on it.

The gaming mates I have I see outside of wargaming anyway so it's not like I'll be losing any friends.

We'll see though, I haven't made any resolutions yet to quit the hobby, just considering it.

More Bolt Action.

1. Buying more Germans and Americans and get them painted
2. Buying more ww2 terrain from 4ground and finishing my Market Garden and Normandy boards.
3. Demo and run scenarios at conventions to grow our local community of games here.

40K wise it will be a slow year. I hope to paint up all the units I have purchased and are lying around my game room. Try to stay current rules wise. No new purchases this year 40k wise unless Sister's get a codex.

Sell off my Warmachine.

Try to win the few games I'll probably be getting this year.

Also experiment with different painting tricks to get my minis to look better than basecoat>wash>drybrush base>done

Napoleonics all the way, perhaps finishing my New Model Army for a break. Got a small crusades projects underway too for variety (both sides).

I'm planning to expand my Chaos forces with a thousand points, and to start a Necron force.

I've just bought a small Eldar army so will be looking to build that up further!

I also am thinking about slowly but surely replacing my Blood Angels tac marines and terminators which are from AOBR to the new kits...slowly but surely.

Aside from that putting Fantasy stuff on the backburner, maybe sell my Skaven but who knows!

I want to paint my 2000+ point 'nid army by February, when I start work in a new job, and see if I can't find some sort of regular gaming group here in West London.

I also want to get serious about painting, because I've not improved enough in the last 5 years for my liking.

How's Balham for you to travel to?

Get rid of my 40k Necron army. Use the money for something important (a newer car) and never buy any overpriced GW drek ever again.
Build and play the USMC starter army for Bolt Action I bought on New Year's Day.
Play and collect as much X-wing as possible.
Continue playing the FFG Star Wars RPG.
Give Star Wars Armada a try.

My biggest ambition is to recreate the Battle of Tewkesbury (War of the Roses) in 28mm. I've got most of the minis, now I just need to put my head down and get on with it!

Would love to get round to playing in more events this year, inc. Infinity ITS and hopefully a SAGA one in February as well.

Would love to see this war of the roses battle.

I really like what I've played of ffg Star Wars rpg. It's a lot of fun and the dice make life so much easier.

Selling my army and quitting wh40k for good. This game is so imbalanced, nonsensical and greedy.

Waste of 6 years of my life and $1500.

Could use the same models to play kings of war?

I found coloured sprays like the plastic solider company ones help a great deal.if you spray the bad coat then pick out the details that's the majority of the work done.

Master the art of playing DE

I actually already have an airbrush to apply base coats, in the grand scheme of things it doesn't really speed up my painting, if anything it slows me down. Before I had the airbrush I'd prime white and then using a large brush with a heavily watered down paint as the basecoat, which only took a couple of minutes per model anyway and gave me a bit of initial shading. Now that I'm airbrushing the basecoat I end up spending more time doing airbrushed shades and highlights which takes a lot longer

But I find the time consuming parts to be initially constructing the models and then after the basecoat is done, doing all the shading/highlighting/detailing.

I'm in a bit of a quandary... I think I want to get my Infinity O:I stuff painted and played, but just feel like I've hit a dead-end on the whole hobby. Hopefully it's just a post-Crimbo lull and I'll perk back up!

I really want to get into Android Netrunner and play more board games. Specifically Lovecraft/Cthulhu inspired stuff.

However, outside of my occasional foray to the NWGC I don't have a gaming group anymore, and the only other person I know who digs Lovecraft finds gaming hilariously sad.

I enjoyed my last WHFB tournament weekend in November, but I think I've had enough of that lot for a while. I don't like my army and really CBA starting ANOTHER one.

I'm a full edition behind on my Marines in 40k despite getting back into the hobby in 2011 or so.

So yeah, that all reads as a massive BAH! HUMBUG! Jeeeez.

I need a new painting lamp, so let's start from there...

Warmahordes as my main for another year. a little Malifaux, a little Cards Against Humanity, some EDH.

For Christmas, I got the final piece to my Convergence army, now I need to finish my Khador. Also, my Fiance got Maliefaux for Christmas so I'll be getting into that this year.

Ive decided to add one more resolution.

Paint at least twice as much as I buy. Preferably a higher percentage than that but I don't want to add to my backlog without making a serious dent into it.

^What Carlos said. Maybe. I want to at least maintain a more positive ratio than last year.

I've resolved to make a stab at 365 models over the course of the year. I'll likely fail, but I'll damn well try Hopefully I buy must less than half that many but we'll see

Paint all my armies which is a daunting task

Keep working on various 40k units and armies i still have to paint.

Paint my firstFirestorm Armada fleet and play the game.
Buy a Planetfall army and try the game.

Buy and play the 3rd faction of X-Wing.
Play Star Wars Imperial Assault.

Try to start playing Infinity (have to find players first).

I go into a little more detail in my blog, but here are my 2015 gaming resolutions:

1 Finish painting the odds and ends from my friend's SOB army that I worked on. Just a handfull of arcoflagelents, spare immolater weapons, some IG HQs .
2 Paint more then I buy.
3 Make a display board for my army. I've had the sheets of foam insulation waiting to be carved for years, never get around to it.
4 Base my army. Someday this will happen.
5 Paint my spare bits. I've magetized a number of things, painted the primary set up, but never get around to doing the other options.
6 Try to get more games in.
7 Update my blog at least once a week, and maintain a consistent pace of work (1 mini a week).
8 Get my Eldar army to a playable level, 1,000 points minumum, with 1,500 or 1,850 being stretch goals.

I’ve been refining these goals for the last two years. #8 is new for this year. Hopefully I can actually cross some off (1,3, and 4 have been there for far too long)

I've got a couple of hobby plans this year:

Finish painting my Lizardmen - I have 1 steg, 100 lizardmen, a slaan, and a couple of heros. I'm using army painter so it shouldn't be too bad - they are all base coated.
Finish painting my Warriors of Chaos - I've got 12 more warriors and free hand banners to paint. Then I've got 2 chariots, 3 blood crushers, and the 3 headed monster to paint. I've based coated all but the monster and chariots.
Finish painting my space wolves - I've got 20 grey hunters to finish and I should be done.
Finish painting my salamanders - I've got 2 tactical squads (unprimed)
I've got some warmahordes (Cygnar/Skorne) stuff to paint but I'm not in any hurry because nobody cares if they get painted in my group.

Essentially, I don't plan on buying anything other than paints, basing materials, and glue for the rest of the year.
