Good grief. And when were you planning on sleeping?

I have a more modest goal of sorting out a modded up Riptide and Bright Stallion. Don't have any other eldar... just fancied one.

Please excuse any spelling errors. I use a tablet frequently and software keyboards are a pain!

An entire grey knights counts as army using stormcast eternals and thousand sons bits(also some kromlech stuff) mixed in to be a custom made up thousand sons loyalist sect I created!
Also and inquisitor and his kill team for an escalation league kill-team game I'm joining!
Also probably more chaos for Both AoS and 40k!!!
But damn dude you've got a ton of work cut out for you! Much luck with it all!

Criminy - second the when do you plan to sleep comment lol

My plans for 2017 are:

1. Finish son's Necrons (he's got a Triarch Stalker, a monolith, and a Doomscythe coming in, plus need to finish building his immortals)
2. Finish my Skaven army! sooo close!!
3. Make headway on Ork army - doubtfull it'll be done, but I have plans, plans involving much dakka
4. More terrain! we need scatter. I really want to make more Frostgrave terrain, as well as other pieces as the mood hits
5. Finish my son's VC! Just built his Terrorgheist, 3 Crypt Horrors, and he wants more ghouls... he may have to do those himself I told him. I'm not sure I can take it!
6. Build a diorama for my 30k Luna Wolves! Really wanted to do one for armies on parade this year, maybe next. sigh.


anyway those are the main things.

I'm going to be expanding the armored forces for my Guard army, with multiple additional tanks, and painting/altering/inducting tanks from a buddy's former guard army into my own roster.

Not quite the same as building physical, but I'm also going to be doing some 3D design for 40K stuff.

1) Finish my Flesh Eater Courts army
2) Finish my Grand Alliance Death army (basically everything not ghouls that I own)
3) Finish and add to my 'Nids
4) Finish and add to my Dark Eldar
5) Do the age of Sigmar starter
6) sigh in relief at all that being finished
7) start something else (I have my own storylines running in both AoS and 40k so I'll probably work on some of the single characters for that)
8) add to existing and repeat

Hmm... idea. Dornian Heresy Emperor's Children, for use in 30k and 40k. The trick is... keep them store-legal... No, no chance of that. Will just roll with it.

A reinforced Salamanders battle company. Specifically the 2nd. On top of what I already have I plan on building a Skyhammer annihilation force in the immediate future.

Thought for the day: Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
30k Ultramarines: 2000 pts
Bolt Action Germans: ~1200 pts
AOS Stormcast: Just starting.
The Empire : ~60-70 models.

That carrier is a bit small - as the valk will either rip out "island" on landing, or the island will rip a wing off the valk.

My hobby plans for 2017 rather depend on how many, if any, of the Kickstarters Ive backed actually deliver.

if the Annihilation alien host delivers...I don't care at this point, it's been four years, I'm no longer interested. Might make some Genestealer Cult or Daemon minis out of them or something

if the Heresy Miniatures - Return of the Monsters KS delivers then I'm building my Daemon Prince, sculpting armour onto the Mk2 Netherlord and turning him into the centrepiece of my army

regardless of either of those, I have a ton of hobby projects to chug through and Ive sworn not to buy any more until I have completed the existing ones:
- Death Guard-corrupted Iron Circle robot (almost done!)
- Death Guard force for use in 30K/40K. I have two boxes of Burning of Prospero and another 60 resin Mk3 marines for a total of 120 troops to build & paint
- Dreamforge Leviathan Mortis in 28mm
- Dreamforge Leviathan Mortis in 15mm
- a Knight
- a Puppetswar Prime Walker (I have a lot of stompy robots)

basically, my 2017 consists of walkers & Mk3 marines

The Island will be removed and built from scratch at a better scale. Also, I'm hoping to extend the flight deck a bit to accommodate more aircraft.

Not to mention, the aircraft I'm designing it for are on the smaller scale. Such as the Land Speeder Tempest, Storm Talon and such smaller craft.

Valks can fit, but thankfully most if not all Imperial aircraft are VTOL capable.

Well I have decided this year to build a KoW army using Fire Forge kits.

Also have a couple kitbashes/scratch builds. One for Dreamforge using an APC and one using a hull of a pt boat I have laying around.

Also want to finish building my other Dreamforge stuff

My new year's resolution is to build and paint a 2000 point Alpha Legion force. I've got one test model and once I get the right metallic green-blue going I should be good to go.

It's going to be a real challenge because in any mini game I get serious faction ADD and never stick with one force. But that's why I want to see this through.

I prefer to buy from miniature manufacturers that *don't* support the overthrow of democracy.
