2019 Goals and Projects "wrap up"

In general paint, play, sell, and stop buying collections.

                                                     Last quarter's mission statement.

*** Moving forward into the second half of the year. I plan on focusing on the World Eaters and Samurai. Once completed, shift to the other goals.***

         In the final quarter of the year focus will continue with the Samurai. With the WEs nearly finished, there will be a shift from World Eaters to terrain. Two boards need repair, one need a redo, and I would like to start on the Japanese board.

       A future and R&D goal. I need to develop some sort of travel terrain kit. The current table take a beating. All the repairs every few years is painful. What is needed is serval tables and scatter terrain that will pack small and be robust enough to survive travel supporting events.

       Maybe paint a Khorne World Eaters army to sell. I have a kilo of World Eater minis left over. If everything works out, in December I will paint the whole thing in one month to sell. Just like the Tau in last November.

What actual occurred.

        The 30K World Eaters are finished. (I have a few air assets left to knock out. Those will be side projects next year.) They made to the table and were fielded at Fall In.

        The Samurai are playable. There a many many more to go. They also made it to the table and were fielded at Fall In.

         The Japanese board was never started. It remains in a development stage. I know where I want to go with it. It is just about playability and look. The DZC board was redone and the river board started. Two of the river tiles are sculpted and hardened.

         The terrain kit idea will continue into the next year. Maybe by HistoriCon, a set of travel kits will be done.

         The 40K Khorne army to sell has been started. I have no focus or desire to plow thru it. Everything needed is on hand. The paint scheme and basing are finalized.

         ***I bought two armies. Or I turned birthday and Xmas money into painted armies.***

         

         

2019 Projects and Goals  

3D printers     Completed.

          "Getting the printers up and running again. The filament printer needs a cable created. As the manufacture is chapter 7, a new one is not available. There is a plan. Only time is required. The Resin printer needs only time and effort."

          *** Both printers were up and working. Both have printed minis. The Italian printer is busted again. I most likely will sell it off for parts. The resin is full steam ahead.

Get the Sudan project on the table.

          "I have maybe 900 Fuzzy Wuzzys,  the Sudanese, and most of the British to complete. Almost all the Cavalry, but I hate painting horse most of all. No supply issues this year. No purchase required. All materials are on hand.
          To get them on the table; I will need to focus and identify a few battles. The units required for those battles finished. All the while banging out the Ansar and British forces as fast as possible."

         *** I have painted up a bunch. Not nearly enough. Little to no effort on this front.

20mm Moderns. 

          "I would like to do one Con game." 

          *** Not going to happen this year.  

Warmaster

         "Finish the Araby army. Start and finish the Samurai army. Then develop a plan and start a strong  effort to complete 2 ancients armies."
         *** I will field a Samurai army at Fall In. I will hopefully one day play test the updated Nippon Rev list. Until that is released I will play a combination of Dave's and mine.

30K HH World Eaters. Completed

         

         *** Only the little extras and a few options left until fully kitted.

Conventions and Gaming.   Completed

         "I am booked for AdeptiCon and Cold Wars. Hopefully I will get HistoriCon, NEEAT, and the Epic World Championship in. This year, step up the effort to build a gaming group here in central PA. I would also like to link up with the NJ group." 

        *** This Goal has been smashed. I have meet up with gamers while traveling for work. A new NJ/NY Warmaster group found. I have done Cold Wars, AdeptiCon, NEET, NJ warmaster tourney, World Championship in Scotland, and Fall In.

Sell Off   Completed

          "Continue to sell off the Kickerstarters never started. Liquidate the collections purchased. Sell off the extra 10mm Samurai."

           ***Smash this goal also. There still remains a good amount to sell.

Painting Completed

         "939 plus dudes painted last year. The goal will be 1000 this year with at least 300 coming from the 20mm Colonial project. With the amount of terrain and 10mm involved it should be an easy score. As long as I stay focused."

         *** Also smashed,1100+. I have been painting 3+ minis a day roughly with little focus. The majority coming from painting on the road.
