What are some of your Hobby Goals?, like your Holy Grail
Mine is to win a 40k GT
My other is to win a painting contest.
Get a giant Dragon Model

My current goal is to finish my ig army, add a few more bits to my nids, revamp all of my terrain and boards then host and batrep a fully painted 15k per side game with my stuff.

I'd love to paint all of my fantasy wandering monsters and heros and have them in a single large well organised case.

I need to finish my games room.

I want all of my stuff in well labled/organized matching cases, cabinets, crates.

Win a golden demon and find a mint old skool banelord model

Finish painting my Skaven army. After doing all the Infantry, Wheel, HPA, 2 of 3 WLCs, 2 Catapults, Bell, and Furnace, I ran out of steam and my poor Giant Rats, ROgres, and more than half my characters stare at me longingly to rid them of their grey and silver curse.

Finish my collection.
Also learn to paint NMM Really goods.

This too!

It probably changes from week to week with me. At the moment, it would be to have a fully playable and painted army for every LotR faction, as I'm currently re-learning just how amazing that game is, but ask me again in a fortnight or so and I'm just as likely to say a full Space Marine Battle Company would be the ultimate thing.

To put my fully painted 13k elven army on the table.

(it is not fully painted, and no one else i know has that large an army. Hell, i'm not sure my two best friends collections together total 13k, haha).

Finish my ideal Nerd Lair (game room). Requires finishing my basement completely over. Currently at Demo stage right now, doing a little each year to avoid incurring debt. Some day!

To have a fully painted Samurai army. Which would be a few hundred 28mm models.

Plastic Grail/Questing Knights.

Plastic "rest of the Bretonnian" range.

Something new and cool for Bretonnians.

Hmm... I'm beginning to notice a pattern.

To buy an on sale Storm Raven for 15% of the price.

Also to complete my Wanderers Army XD.

but wait I stopped playing :(

To have the NAF fully painted... I have ten teams on the go now.. (Riekland, The Eye, Orcland, Middenheim, Rotters, Scramblers, Creepers, Giants, Warhammerers and Ratz) and I believe at last count have another twenty waiting unmade in team boxes and my large Blood Bowl spares box.

Will need another twenty on top of that.. as there where two conferences of five divisions each with five teams.. although I am not following the 2nd edition list to the letter I am trying to get all the classic teams done and most of the others, just swapping out some excess Goblin/Halfling teams etc for more interesting ones.

To die an old man with no mini left unpainted in my collection.

To buy this table...

and be buried on it when I die.

Spoiler:

I was going to post about building something like that, and having a fully painting fantasy terrain and figure set to use on it.

That table is awesome, but I would break every toe bone in both my feet with those legs and crossbars. My gaming group would rapidly need wheelchair access. Won't someone think of the clumsy man-children?!?

every table is custom made..so I am sure they could adapt it for you...it does cost about the same a nice car..lol

To paint every darn model I own.

To be consistantly painting or building.
Have my 3k pt Sisters army fully painted after all these years
To place first in a tourney with said army

I want to finish building and painting my 20 K IG and 25k Ork armies.

I want to build a full set of Apoc sized terrain set so my six orc titans and five imperial ones can duke it out.

I want to learn how to use my new airbrush to make both of the above happen.

I would like to learn to build and cast my own parts.

Finally I would like to find an Apoc group that plays regularly when I return to the US.

This!

To look upon my collection and have not a single model left waiting assembly or paint!

To re-ignite my interest in 40K. I really want to get back into the game.

Short term, to finish my Necromunda, Kill Team and Open Combat warbands ... Oh, and my 1st/2nd ed. Kaos Pact team for Blood Bowl!

Long term, to ever feel good enough to paint the Kingdom Death Flower Knight. But I doubt that'll ever happen

To get and set up a proper gaming barn, with room for a 12' table, and display cabinets for all my amazingly painted armies.

Being able to re-stage Warring States Japan in 15/28mm would be pretty amazing as well, same with the Persian Invasions of Greece.

If you ever stage a warring states japan I want to see it. I would love to do the same thing too but it would be difficult enough to paint up one full army. (SAmurai are not easy to paint) never mind two of them

Reducing my collection to a managable size.
Reduce the number of systems I play to a managable level.
Having everything i own painted.

I have accepeted however that this will never happen.

Even working towards it is something.

I've set clear goals in painting, sold off stuff I don't use or want and tried to focus on games I am realistically going to play going forward

It's a long way off I'm afraid, but it'll be the next new thing I'm going to start (after I finish the Persian Invasions, Bolt Action, Flames Of War, Saga, Malifaux and Empire Of The Dead)

In addition to painting everything I own, I'd like to:

- Have a gaming room like this
- Finish off collecting and painting my Rogue Trader Imperial Guard army
- Finish my Epic collection, including owning one of these:

To have a Lucius-Pattern Baneblade (the original awful-to-build Forgeworld one)

To have a Fellblade

To win a game with my Death Korps of Krieg.

The last one will no doubt be the most challenging.
