I've got about 15 models left for my Eldar and that will be all I do for them.
Then, it's on to the Orks. 2008 will be a green year for me.

No earth shattering, thought provoking quote. I'm just someone who was introduced to 40K in the late 80's and it's become a lifelong hobby. |

I am filling out my Eldar army. I have about 40 more models to buy/assemble/paint. Then I think I will be done with them. I finished my Tyranids and Space Marines this year (07).
I have really been working on improving my painting skills so I think I might go back to my Chaos army later in 08 and do some repainting.
Happy New Year,
Darrian

Working on my Orks. Its difficult to get myself to paint so many models. They look decent, so in the end, its worth it.

Immediate plans (i.e. from now until the summer):
Finishing up my ACW Union Marines for GASLIGHT: specifically, 7 more Sash & Saber figs, including the Lt., and a converted Mechwarrior Clicky fig or two (or...four) that will be serving the Union as "Clank Troops"
Finish collecting the figs for my Red Blok AT-43 army. Consider repainting, then decide not to.
Finishing up my Naresh, Mordenguard, Ravilla and Human warbands for Chainmail.
Painting up a pile of new stuff for my Cygnar and Skorne armies, plus Madhammer and a bunch of mercs and rhulic warjacks.
Long-Term plans:
Use random sci-fi figs in the 'to do' basket as AT-43 UNA figs, mostly so I feel like I painted SOMETHING for the game.
Get some more scenery worked on, including a themed table for AT-43, and a Warmaching/Hordes/Mordheim 'cityfight' table.
Finally finishing my guard army (hah!), maybe work on that leman russ conversion, maybe do that COD Genestealer cult army I keep collecting figs for.
Little projects: More ACW for GASLIGHT (specifically Iron Brigade and some Zouaves); skinks and kroot for Victorian Sci-fi; Weird War II, maybe. Bronze Age miniatures 'not green martians'. The Crew of the Nautilus landing party (LXG style). Some pulp robots. Work on some mordheim/fantasy skirmish stuff.

My Blood Angels (in ultramarines colors) and my warhounds.
Hopefully I'll have the hounds done by February.
The Blood Angels will take longer cause I still need to find someone to sculpt the helms for my honor guard, and the shoulder pad for my tyranid hunters (Death company).

Welcome back, Bignutter!
I'm going to finish my 2000 point Tau army, which will be facilitated by a move to a four-day work week, meaning I have an entire day for 40k.
That wasn't supposed to rhyme.

Well, New Years day consisted of stripping about 20 figs I had scored on E-bay. I spent 10 Hours y/day getting them cleaned and base-coated.
Enter-Depressing 'Wall of Black'!!! I now have60 Marines waiting to be painted. About 35 Termies. 20 Scouts with Sniper Rifles. 1 Ven Dread. 2 Attack Bikes.
All Base-coated. All black. All depressing....................lol
PS- As an aside, I have never played 'WOW'. My GF aquired me a copy for Christmas with 2 Months subscription.
I am now asking her why she hates 40k so much that she would get me this game.
NOT going to renew subscription. Apparently you can get 'patches' like Nicabate for the addiction...................

Painting up the 1000 points of Ogres I started 2 years ago, try to get them all done at last. Then it's 8 possessed, a DP and FW dread #2 to complete 2000 CSM. Then maybe my tiny Tau troop, but likely more CSM and the start of 2000+ points of TK instead

Gotta finish the painting of my Chaos Space Marines. Also, toning up the crons for a run at the 2008 GT circuit.
|
All in all, fact is that Warhammer 40K has never been as balanced as it is now, and codex releases have never been as interesting as they are now (new units and vehicles and tons of new special rules/strategies each release -- not just the same old crap with a few changes in statlines and points costs).
