Brought my post over from the DCM thread.

Continue to build and paint my Imperial Guard forces. Have three tanks, a Vendetta, sentinal and about fifty troopers to paint atm.

Finish the eldest boys Necrons, and help Aura get the middle lads Tyranids done in time for my birthday in March.

Finish my Mordheim scenery, and a couple of my 40K pieces that have been sitting waiting to be painted for way too long now.

Finish painting my Nomad forces for infinity.

Get more games in, apart from the birthday game mind, I can see me holding off on 40K until the new edition.

Start tale of two gamers with Aura, with the 6th edition starter box.

Sort out my gaming table, been meaning to do it for two years now.

You just had to mention Diablo 2... damn...

Oh? Yes, for 2012. I want to finish off the Imperial Fists I have already got. I've made a decent start (done 11 marines, 2 bikes and 3 tanks so far this year) so at this rate I may get them all done by 2013...

I want to start playing some games and actually enjoying 40K again...

I've just gone back to uni so buying new stuff is pretty much out of the question - I've got a bit set aside in case there's shiny new Space Marines released if/when a new C:SM arrives just after 6th (if/when it comes out in the summer).

Good luck everyone!

I want to play a wider variety of games. I want to try 7TV and also get some old games on the table like Necromunda or Advanced Heroquest.

I also want to get back into role-playing, which is my real gaming love. Not sure what but I'd like to play Gamma World (the D&D version) and more Doctor Who. I also want to run a Blake's 7 inspired game using the rule system from either In flames, Ashen stars, Traveller or Rogue Trader.

Apologies for talking positively about games I enjoy.

1. Buy the rest of my Dark Eldar.

2. Paint the rest of my Dark Eldar.

3. Get a case capable of carrying my Dark Eldar without snapping all those fiddly flight stands.

4. Play a game (or many) with my Dark Eldar.

5. Paint and game with my Anima: Tactics and Infinity stuff.

Avoid paying AUS GW prices.Sourcing my minis overseas and from other companies entirely.

Avoid paying CGL for their sloppy rubbish. I will read everything they put out before i purchase, and i only purchase if it has actual content and they bothered reading it through for grammar and spellchack purposes. Bought way too much drek last year that i didnt like. This extends to IWM, ever since i started buying high quality mechs from Reaper and a certain ebay seller they dont like, everything has been smooth sailing.

Finish assembling and painting all the stuff i already have.

Get one game of Battletech in a month.

Get one game of Shadowrun in a month.
