These are my projects for 2010

1. Keep up the pace with Warmachine and Hordes- I'm making fine progress on my various armies by sticking to a formula: Character, Warjack/Warbeast, Unit, Solo. Though the formula varies somewhat, I've been able to build up my collections such that I have models that I really enjoy the background and rules for.
2. Events! I'm a Press Ganger so I have to run events. Events can be leagues, tournaments, demos, and whatever else.
3. Slow down the GW. Nothing personal, GW, but as much as I'd like three Mumaks, I think I'm going to try a lot of non-GW in 2010. Besides, it's not like I don't have unpainted GW stuff anyway. So no new GW models in 2010.
4. Space Ships! Talked to my FLGS Wednesday Night. I should know by next week if they can put the order in for Firestorm Armada ships. *pewpewpewpew*
5. Anima Tactics: The minis are just too pretty. If I buy two or three at a time, there's no question I'll be able to finish them.
6. Learn Greenstuff. There are things I want to do that require more than just slapping on the paint haphazardly. Hopefully Aaron and I will have time for some tutorials.
7. SOVIETS: I only have tanks and artillery to go before my regular stuff is done. I'll have to look into expanding the infantry and tank side in 2010.
8. Play Field of Glory, Flames of War, Firestorm Armada: These are the new games I've set my sights on for learning how to play in 2010.
9. Reaper Minis. If I paint 3-4 Reaper Minis a month I should have 30-40 Dungeon delvers by the end of the year.
10. Infinity Miniatures: Haqqislam, Yu-Jing, Ariadna, PanO! It's all good.
11. More terrain, perhaps: Need to paint some of the generic buildings I made and maybe make more hill/forest templates. I have no budget to make store terrain, so I'm going to make a transport option for these. Maybe a box only for forests, a box only for hills, and a box only for linear obstacles. If I have those things, I'll be able to run whatever terrain I want.
12. Continue blogging. I have more words than pictures, but that doesn't mean that I'm all talk. Blogging has kept my hobby side sane.
13. Lucky 13 says: Slow down the painting. According to flickr, the first model I finished in 2009 was model #880. The last one was #1611. 731 completed miniatures, base stands, and terrain pieces all told. I have nothing to prove.
14. Learn to take better pictures.
15. At least 1 or 2 terrain centerpieces.
16. More articles!

There's even an article on how to add these resolutions to your user profile:

Non-Gaming

1, Lose 2 stone (or 12.7Kg), or 2 belt sizes, compared with Jan 1st 2010, measured at least once per month - this will be tracked in my signature.
2, Get a better-paid job.

Gaming

1, Ensure that there are 4 releases of Irregular Magazine during the year.
2, Help run IMP 2 (The Sequel), and any other events Sheffield Irregulars are involved with.
3, Enter at least half of the 2010 painting competitions during 2010.
4, Achieve a higher completed model throughput, compared to 2009, measured in models/week - this shouldn't be tricky, given I think I completed 6 figures in 2009. This will also be tracked in my sig, alongside the link to my plog.
5, Try to complete at least a minimum-sized platoon of each metal IG regiment, in urban camo, with the exceptions of Cadians, Catachans and Attilan Rough Riders. By my reckoning, this would be Praetorians, Mordians, Valhallans, Tallarn, Steel Legion and Vostroyans. I might try to do a Veteran squad of Tanith First and Only, but I don't currently own any of the figures. My only IG purchases shall be to make these legal platoons, with SW/HW choices for each squad.
6, Complete a legal Space Wolf army, to either 1000 or 1500 points.
7, Dependant on my opinion of the 8th Ed Fantasy rules, start working on my Dwarfs again, at least to the degree that the plastic army box is painted.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/271278/1219623.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/271278/1219623.page GMT New Years Resolutions

Already hit the gym 3 times a week but also need to hit 18% body fat; currently 23% body fat at 41 years old which is OK.... but..... still got the gut when 'hanging on my Wide Glide's apes'

And finally PLAY MORE SPACE HULK

Me, obviously. The table's still fine.

It's just that I painted different armies and such that using every model would be ambitious,
to say the least. If nothing else, it would break me to dig through the stacked foam to
