In previous years I’ve painted 300+ models, but in 2021 I ran out of units and other bulk paintables and started doing other things so I got a lot less done.  I’ll be north of 130 by the end of the year.  (Its much quicker to paint a unit of 10 identical models than it is to paint 10 unique solos).  As such I’m really dropping my quantity goals this year.  So here’s what I’m currently thinking:

1. Paint more models than I gain unpainted models
2. If a faction starts the year 100% painted it should end the year 100% painted
3. Try Kingdom Death Monster if/when it arrives (All KDM goals are contingent on it turning up early enough in the year for them to be sensible)
4. If I like KDM, try and have everything painted before it hits the table, and only for the stuff I plan on putting on the table
5. Try Aeon Trespass: Odyssey before pledge manager closes if it arrives (All ATO goals are contingent on it turning up early enough in the year for them to be sensible)
6. If I like ATO, try and have everything painted before it hits the table, and only for the stuff I plan on putting on the table
7. Paint a bust type model (I’ve a few busts and large scale models printed and awaiting some love)
8. Finish painting 3D printed small based models.  At the time of typing that’s 18 models I think, 4 of which already have paint on.  This is my current focus in Nov 21
9. Paint my old untouched unloved Dreadball minis as part of the Spring Clean Challenge 2022.  I backed the Xtreme KS and went in heavy.  My group never got in to Dreadball an the quality of Mantic sculpts/materials didn’t work for me so I’ve been ignoring them forever and even tried to sell them off a few times.  I’m almost out of other stuff to paint, so it’s time to get them done.  There’s no rest until the pile of shame fits on a single tray.  I think this is 53 models, but I got a goody bag a couple of  years ago I think has some other bits still in it.  I’ll have to do a catalogue of what’s left as the start of the project.
10. Get my party to complete the current D&D campaign before life gets in the way
11. Get a follow up campaign started after – Already have a DM interested
