3) Complete 2 Divisions of Troops for the War of the Roses project

4) Complete the odds and sods I have left for the Carthaginian project

5) Complete 2 French Napoleonic Infantry units

6) reduce my “pile of potential” by painting more figures than I add 😂😂

I think I should simplify my pledge that I made on page one…

1) Enjoy my retirement.
2) Check my forum posts so I don’t have to keep editing them for spelling and grammar.

I’ve joined in the past but been poor at keeping up with the sheet so part zero of my pledge is to be better at that bit! I am such a hobby butterfly that usually yearly goals change so here are a handful which I know I want to get to in the immediate future:

1. Paint a GW army – I am going to Warhammer World in May for work but as it will be the first (and who knows, last) time I’ll get to go, I really want to take advantage and go all in. Having a 40k army feels like it might be the easiest to get games with when I’m there but I’m not 100% sure.

2. Finish my goblins for Kings of War 4th edition.

3. Paint all of Malifaux Keyword Family

4. Next year is the 50th anniversary of New Hope and I’d like to run some special games for it. This year I’ll be working away on them but the main pledge is to paint up all the Star Wars minis I own (at different scales). My current total is: 160/375

5. Get my collection to 60% painted (through painting or reducing the collection). Current total: 29.1%

6. Paint Moonstone

7. Paint and play through Darkwater

8. take part in the community paint challenges

9. Paint up and play through Battletech Aces Scouring Sands

10. Run a game at a convention

Good luck everyone! I look forward to cheering you all on as we go.

Going to try to keep it simple.

1. Play more.
2. Paint more than I acquire this year.
3. Try to get rid of some figures and terrain to unclutter my brain and find some clarity and normality again.
4. Don’t succumb to starting any more terrain projects; I have enough on the go.

A bit late to the game but …

Trying to keep things simple this year and actually finish some projects.

Main focus is 8mm Dark Angels:

• Finish the 4th and 5th Companies
• Print and paint Deathwing
• Paint Ravenwing

Side projects:

• Build and paint Deadzone Enforcers
• Build and paint Deadzone Forge Fathers

Other goals:

• Play at least 4 games this year (any system counts)
• Paint two display-only minis in 32mm+ just for fun and to push myself a bit outside my usual tabletop standard

My playing games goal is deliberately small, given the hectic schedule I keep and trying to coordinate that with friends means even this many may prove a challenge, which makes me sad… but still!
If I end 2026 with more finished models that’s a win

So far I’m doing well on my goals.
