So the Carnivale stuff sits over the ruins like a terrain russian doll?

That’s a great idea ?

[pagan8th 14035xp 1]

That’s the plan. Subject to my crafting skills.

Thanks for the motivation

Happy to help.  This really saved me at the end there.  I was on target to paint more than I gained, but Black Friday landed me with 33 extra models in December that I hadn’t planned for.  Holding myself accountable for this motivated me to paint 34 models in 22 days, crossing the finish line with 2 days to spare.  I’ve never have got all that done otherwise.

My project has been delayed due to the unexpected demise of my laptop. Fortunately I keep backups, but there was stuff I hadn’t backed up that I wanted to recover… like my current RPG project including custom character sheets…

Recovered most of the files… so I’ll try to get back to crafting my battlefield soon.

I’ve been quiet for a while as I took on a large batch project that ended up taking a few months.  I was working on plenty, but finishing nothing along the way.  Here’s some updates.

 

Finish Gamblers Chest playable non-modular minis – Survivors done, 3 monsters left
Pics can be found HERE

Finish Gloomhaven with friends – DONE
Here’s the final battle of the Forgotten Circles expansion.  It was waaaay harder than everything else in that game.  We are taking a few sessions off to play standalone games before jumping in to our next campaign.

Finish C3 of ATO – DONE

Here’s the final battle:

Here’s my Voyage Phase table 1 of 3.  Cycle 3 became a real space hog, and that’s saying something.  I thought it wanted a lot of space already.

Play KDM People of the Stars – Started

Here I am set up for my first Nemesis fight

We’re almost half way through the year somehow.  I plan on making more regular updates going forward.  i can see a lot of colour on the SPREADSHEET.  How is everyone else doing?  Making progress and enjoying it, I hope.

My pledge will run contrary to many: to exit “the hobby”. Yep, I’m done. Can’t pick up another brush. It’s over.

How to dispose of all my stuff? That’s the big question.

[lawnor 25981xp 1]

I’d suggest putting it in the attic for a few years.  Who knows how you’ll feel 5 years from now.  Otherwise, sell you you can.  Give away the rest.  Never just throw good stuff in the bin.  There’s a trading section on the forum and a swapping/giving away section on the discord.  Maybe there’s something you’d like to swap your stuff for?

[lawnor]

I’ve been silent for a while but I’ve made progress on my pledges again.  I completed another campaign of Kingdom Death, and beat the White Lion Vignette.  Just waiting on Wave 2 of ATO to arrive so I can get a campaign of that finished before 2025.

Here’s every  model I used during my People of the Stars KDM campaign.  The 4 models up front are the heroes who faced the final encounter.

I hope you’re all still making good progress.  The end of the year is scarily in sight.

@tgu3 @RalfKortig SPAM insertion protocol evident.

[zoidpinhead 12797xp 2]

Well done @lawnor  Good to see some progress.  I’m having a year to forget and am very unlikely to make any of this year’s objectives, 84/365 painted.  Never mind – I’ll go again in January.  Trying to get a few bits done when I can.  Recently finished another Xenos Rampant force which is in this project but it looks like this:

Anyone else struggling or are you knocking it out of the park this year?

[sundancer 44269xp 3]

Anyone else struggling

Yeah I just looked at my pledges and if I’m not counting wrong so far I made 1 (one) of my goals.

ONE!

Jeeeebus I’m a slacker.

[lawnor 25981xp 3]

My hobby is being held up by delayed deliveries.  My pledges are otherwise going ok.  Its the rest of life that’s falling apart.

[SirHumphreyRtd 3357xp 3]

Well managed to get some more of my Republican Romans and Carthaginians finished and with only 3 or 4 units to go I can see the finishing line. I also managed to get a French Young Guard unit completed and while I enjoy painting them they do take some time to complete.

Young Guard

Carthaginians and Romans

I’ve just posted the 2025 thread (chart)so I thought I should do a State of Play update for my 2024 pledges.  If it’s crossed out, I’ve done it

 

Gaming Pledges

• Finish Gloomhaven with friends (Started March 2018) (Currently 7 missions left, and perhaps new side missions?)
• Start new campaign game with friends: We’ve been trying to start RE2 for a while now, but life keeps getting in the way at the last minute.  We were supposed to play last weekend, but there was a car crash, a boiler died because of a wasp, and I got sick at the last second.  With Christmas upon us, we won’t get togther again until next year
• Any 3 of the following solo plays:
  Finish C3 of ATO
  Finish C4 of ATO Shipping delayed
  Finish C5 of ATO Shipping delayed
  Play KDM People of the Stars
  Play KDM People of the Sun I’ve delayed starting this as I’ve been expecting ATO “any day now” for 2-3 months.  I have this set up and ready to go this weekend
  Play KDM Gambler Campaign

Optional:

• Win White Gigalion Vignette
• Win Black Knight Campaign I think this uses systems from Gamblers Chest so I’m not starting it until I’ve played that campaign, and I want to play the campaigns in release order, so its people of the Sun next.
• Added: Killenium Butcher Vignette

Hobby Pledges

1. Paint at least as many models as I gain Ahead of target, but I’ve got one big box on it way, and I expect a small box or two from KDM before Christmas day, but I could be wrong about that.  I’ve painted ahead of the minimum I know is due to arrive so hopefully I’ll make it
2. If a faction/game starts the year 100% painted it should end the year 100% painted
3. Always get it painted before it gets to the table
4. Finish Gamblers Chest playable non-modular minis
5. Paint ATO Minis ahead of playing with them
6. Paint Black Knight playable non-modular minis

Optional

1. A bust for Spring Cleaning Challenge?  I wasn’t expecting to do this, but included it just in case.  I had other projects on the go with deadlines at the time.  Maybe next year
2. Aim for less that 20 unpainted Normal models, but, ignoring any end of year preorder deliveries (Miracles can happen!)  On target.  Currently 0, but my numbers might be off.  Things are due to arrive in the post soon though.

 

All in all, I’m happy.  My main delays are due to KS shipping and not really in my control.  I should go in to the new year on top of things, and having beaten the remaining achievable goals.

There’s still a month left for us all to make progress.  I hope it’s all going well enough for everyone.
