Finish my Crimson Fists.

1. Finish painting my Freeboter's Fate stuff- at least the Imperials, preferably the Amazons too. Don't buy any more FF stuff until this stuff is painted!

2. Paint some more of my Night Goblin army. I have a fair bit of it stashed away that I bought over the last two years(ish) - I'd like to signifigantly reduce that pile some.

3. Paint Super Dungeon Explore - this is my "main" resolution for the year. It's going to take a lot of time I bet.

4. Find someone to play SDE with! Mostly I'm just a painter - but after actually reading through the SDE rules the other night, it actually looks really simple, fast and fun!

5. I think I I'm going to try to sell a few things that I have on Ebay to try to focus on projects I really want to do. Like I have 2 AOBR Ork sets that I really don't feel the need to start as an army anymore. Plus a some misc stuff too I can dump.

That's about it I guess. Barring any big suprises throught out the year.

1. Get some more practice with my Airbrush...

2. Paint my Necrons to at least 75% completion...

3. Paint one mob of my Orks...

4. Finish the GF's, and my daughter's, Malifaux crews...and do a bit more work on my own...

5. Get some more Menites painted...

6. Not buy anything else until I get 1-5 done (aside from the Necron second wave, maybe a bit of Malifaux, or WM...and some cases)...

7. Score some more games...40K, Malifaux, and Warmahordes...and get more into the LFGS community.

I've likely set myself up for failure...but, I'm going to have fun trying...

I think there's a difference between "disregard" and "seek out opportunities to insult and antagonize".

Sounds like a good policy. I definitely commend you if you plan to do it this year!

This year I am buying no new armies, starting no new games and buying very few models.

This will be the year I start to paint what I already own. I have almost 100 blister/ boxes of C3. Got a beautiful Carmine dragon to work on. May even pull out my Reaper models.

In reality, I think I am moving away from the wargaming hobby and going back to painting for fun. Each to their own, right?

1. Quit smoking except the odd party.

2. Get back in school.

3. Finish all my painting projects.

4. ????

5. Profit.

#1 Paint 100 ork boyz

I'd like to be more ambitious as I have tons of other model and terrain projects in various stages of completion, but with new baby, teaching and youth sports kicking my arse on a regular basis I need to prioritize and the green tide needs to actually be green before year's end...

1- Paint all the stuff I bought before buying more
2- Play 2 games per month.

For Me:

1. Break down (depaint/deglue) my deathwing and start back at square 1, 2500 Points.

2. FLGS Iron building for a Necrons Project (starting at 500 ending at 2000)

3. Finish Sonnia Cred Malifaux Warband (40 SS)

4. Finish Von Schill Malifaux Warband (40 SS)

Time for a new set of resolutions for 2012:

Privateer Press Themed
- Ensure all threads are posted on time for A Tale of Warmahordes 2012, and make sure I finish the challenge with 2 "Get Out of Painting Free" cards left.
- Improve my ETC record from last year's result (shouldn't be hard, I went 0-5)
- Complete a 50pt eNemo T4 army for the ETC in July (3 points currently complete)
- Buy less points of WM/H models over the year than I manage to paint

Other
- Having painted 99 models this year, reach the elusive 2 models/week average (104 or more models completed during 2012)
- Run our fourth IMP show
- Ensure four issues of Irregular Magazine are published
- Complete at least one unit of Dwarves for WHFB
- Finish another unit of Legionnaires for WAB

in 2012 I will disregard whiners and paint models.

Haha, this is gold

My big resolution is not to spend any money on war gaming (paint and building supplies excluded) until all of my projects are finished. I started keeping track of my spending.
Building
1. Gaming Table
2. Terrain

Painting
1. 2200 point Ravenwing army (still being built)
2. 2000 point Thousand Sons army (various stages of painting)
3. 2500 point Tyranid army (almost done)
4. 2000 point Eldar Army (Vehicles are done. Didn't like the way infantry turned out)
5. 2500 point Blood Angels army (Jump packs, and Death Company left to paint)
6. 3000 point Space Wolves army (Friends army)
7. Amazon Blood Bowl Team
8. Lizardmen Mordheim Warband

New Year's Resolutions for 2012
So it's finally come to this. I've given it some thought, and I think I've nailed down some concrete goals for 2012.

1. 400 miniatures. I know I'm capable of more, but if I see myself on track to painting 400 I won't try much harder or sacrifice time with family and friends to get this done.
   
2. 50-100 terrain pieces. This also shouldn't be difficult. And the number is meant to cover things such as flags and objective markers as well.
   
3. Paint or trash the terrain I have in progress. Right now I have several pieces that have been in progress: water features, buildings, huts. If I don't paint them in 2012, I'm going to trash them in favor of projects that do make sense.
   
4. Buy/figure out more storage. The minis are becoming a bit ridiculous, crawling all over the work room as they are. Time to invest in more storage or cut back!
   
5. Speaking of cutting back, sell excess terrain. I made a lot of stuff last year. Time to clear some of it out through friends and the Games Plus auction.
   
6. Buy and paint some of THIS TERRAIN. This stuff is beautiful and reasonably priced.
   
7. To go with the above, play Infinity. Why are you laughing at me?
   
8. Paint and play with my Hordes of the Thing army. I planned for Hordes of the Things, I've built for Hordes of the Things, I think it's time I just go ahead and play Hordes of the Things.
   
9. Play better? Maybe that's asking for a bit too much.
   
10. Play more consistently. This is the year of pMadrak, pHoarluk, eGrissel, and Borka.
    
11. Play in the following local scenes at least once in the coming year: Iowa, Madison, Milwaukee, Michigan!
    

Hopefully I can stick to this plan!

Please post pics when done!

For myself ...

1 - Finish up dark eldar army, replacing old raiders for new and adding a couple of other oddsand sods.
2 - Get around to typing up and posting my next Relictors piece of fic.
3 - Paint a friend's Grey Knights army I've somehow found myself responsible for.
4 - Another jaunt up to Warhammer World to spend a day or so playing.

Easy.

Finish my Dark Angel Company, only 23 years in the making. So many options lol.

1-find a new job
2-get at least 1500 points of csm painted
3-get out and about more

1. Continue building my new Guard army, and paint it as I go. Plan would be to have around eighty Guardsmen and around five Vehicles painted by the end of this year.

2. Finish my outstanding Orks, about sixty Boyz, and fur Vehicles.

3. Paint my Mordheim Vampire warband, and hopefully get some games in this year.

4. Finish my Mordheim terrain, around fifteen buildings, and a further twenty flavour pieces (tree's, fencing, walls etc.)

5. Finish painting my fledgling Infinity forces.

6. Sort out a proper gaming table this year.

7. Get 6th edition 40K, starting new armies based on whats in the box.

Hey everyone, I thought I would bump this so we could all quote ourselves and fess up how we did on last year's resolutions and decide if we were successful or not. By number here are mine:
1. I did finish painting my Imperials, didn't start the Amazons, bought a ton more FF stuff. Gonna have to say failure here.
2. Well, we could quibble about the "signifigantly" part - but I did paint over a dozen Night Goblins, so I'm calling that a success.
3. Finished that in early November! Unqualified success.
4. I thought I had someone who was willing to give it a go - but then I made the mistake of showing him a half-hour video of the rules and he got intimidated and lost interest. Boo. Failure.
5. I sold nothing (though I still have plans on it). Failure.

2/5 = I did pretty bad. What say the rest of you?

Make/Finish a Chaos Daemon/Chaos Space Marine army (including paint) starting with Slaanesh, and most likely ending in Nurgle, attempting a part for each God (besides Malal/Malice)

It's easy to post up resolutions in the year BEFORE'S thread.




There's a different one for 2013, btw.

woops, lol.

Well on mine, instead of painting my TK I sold them, so thats a point. And I did get better at painting, so thats a point.

So I am 2 I finished, 8 I failed.

Hahah, just noticed it was for 2012

0 for 5, aw yeah. To be fair, I did end up buying a giant lot of nids, and pick up a bunch of other stuff along the way.
