Hobby Resolutions for 2018

I got a nice hobby haul for Christmas. I got some reinforcements for my Death Guard and some more Batman minis.  I also got a set of resin dungeon tiles that are not pictured here, but expect to see them soon.


So what about my hobby resolutions for this year?  If split them into 3 parts; painting, gaming and hobby.  I've done this for easiness sake.  My aim is to use these goals as a check list, and I've tried to keep it manageable, so that I can actually stick to them.  Enough waffle let's get onto the first category; painting.

Painting Resolutions for 2018.

1.  To paint my core set of Mythic Battles Pantheon.  I got Mythic Battles Pantheon a couple of days ago (expect an unboxing) and I really want to paint it. I also really want to play it.

2.  To paint my Return to Hoth expansion for Imperial Assault.  I've had it for a year, it needs paint.

3.  To paint my Death Guard.  In addition to those pictured above I boughs 3 myphitic blight haulers, another plagueburst crawler and a foul blightspawn.  I also want to bring my old plague marines up to the same level.

4.  To finish painting my Walking Dead Stuff.  Shouldn't be too bad.

5.  To paint a minimum of 10 Batman minis.  I've got too many unpainted, I need to rectify that.

6.  To paint 2 units of Romans for my kingdoms of Men army.  I want to get them finished.

Gaming Resolutions for 2018.

1.  To play more games.  In all seriousness my anxiety has been really bad this past year and I've played very few games in 2017.  So I need to try and go to my local gaming club and FLGS more and play something.

2.  Play more Warhammer 40,000.  Since the 8th edition of 40k dropped I've not played a single game.  I need to fix that.  My Death Guard need to hit the table again.

3.  To get my Skype D&D game up and running.  I'm hoping to start this at the end of February.  Don't expect videos, but I might do a recap of each session, we'll see.

4.  To go to Empire.  I've wanted to take up LARP (that's live action role play for the uninitiated) and Empire by Profound Decisions has really caught my eye.  Empire runs 4 times a year.  I'm not going to have my kit in time to got to the first one, and I can't go to the second due to work.  I'm eyeing up Empire 3 as my first foray into the world (I put holidays in for it).  I'm going to join the nation of Dawn.  I really like the Arthurian aesthetic of Dawn.  Expect to see a few logs on my costume progress.

5.  To do a few battle reports.  I might play a few games of Warhammer Quest or Dungeon Saga against my self.

Hobby Resolutions for 2018.

1.  To finish 4 Batman buildings.  I have a lot of painted Batman minis, but the terrain is lacking.   Need to fix this.

2.  Rebase 3 Skaven units for Kings of War.  I want my Rats to take to the field again.

3.  Acquire a folding gaming table.  My dining table is too small.



So these are my hobby resolutions for this year.  What are yours?

Imperial Assault - Darth Vader and Boba Fett

Well here it is the last of my Imperial Assault miniatures, Darth Vader and Boba Fett.  I did say they were fan favorites.






Darth Vader




Once I figure out how to do original source lighting I'll go back and add a bit more to him.



Boba Fett





Imperial Assault - General Weiss

Tmie for the big bad guy of the main Imperial Assault campaign, General Weiss.  And he has a custom AT-ST.  It has some seriously big guns.









Just two villains left, and they're both Star Wars fan favorites

Imperial Assault - Tusken Raiders

Sand people, sand people, taste like sand, talk like people...

wait that's not right.  But they probably do taste like sand.









Three left to finish, and they're all nasty bad guys.

Imperial Assault - R2D2, C3PO and Wookies

Some more Rebels done.  Actually I think I've finished all the Rebels I own (for now anyway).


Wookies







The droids





R2D2






C3PO


C3PO took me a about 3 minutes to paint.  Basecoat, a quick drybrush, touch up the base and he's done.


Next Sand people.

Imperial Assault - AT-ST

The Imperial forces have some heavy support.  The AT-ST scout walker.  Just keep it away from any Ewoks that might be creeping about.





Admittedly it's almost completely grey.  However it has been shaded and highlighted.  It just doesn't look like it.

Imperial Assault - Royal Guard Champion and Rebel Saboteurs

Well that's some more down.  I slowly but surely working my way through all my Imperial Assault stuff.



Royal Guard Champion









Rebel Saboteurs






I'm thinking the AT-ST should be next

Imperial Assault - Chewbacca and IG 88

I think I'm well over the halfway mark now. This time it's everyone's favorite wookie and a bounty hunting droid.






Chewbacca








IG 88
