Long-Term Goal Review

2009 Long-Term Goals

Warhammer 40K
  • Have 500 points of Eldar painted
  • Have 1,000 points of Daemons assembled
  • Have 500 points of Daemons painted
  • Play at least 3 games
Warhammer Fantasy
  • Have 2,250 points of Clan Eshin Skaven painted [COMPLETED]
  • Have 1,000 points of Daemons assembled
  • Have 500 points of Daemons painted
  • Have 1,000 points of Dark Elves assembled
  • Have 500 points of Dark Elves painted
  • Play at least 15 games [Currently at 10]
  • Start a Beasts of Chaos army
Warhammer Quest
  • Paint Wood Elf Wardancer [COMPLETED]
  • Paint Bretonnian Questing Knight
When I composed these goals, I intended on completing them by the end of this year. It is now the 8th month of the year, and I'm not even close to completing 1/4 of them. Additionally, my focus has narrowed onto Daemons of Chaos, and I'm not concerning myself with Eldar or Dark Elves. Heck, I'm not even sure that Beasts of Chaos are going to be released this year, so how am I going to achieve that goal? I think I should change that to a reward for when I have completed both my Daemons and Dark Elves.

Short-Term Goal Review

Current Short-Term Goals

Warhammer 40K
  • Assemble 500 points of Eldar
  • Assemble 500 points of Daemons
  • Paint 5 Pestigors (that count as Plaguebearers)
Warhammer Fantasy
  • Paint converted Skaven Ratling Gun by April 20th and submit it to Under-Empire competition [COMPLETE]
  • Paint 2 Skaven Gutter Runners [COMPLETE]
  • Convert 2nd Skaven Ratling Gun
  • Paint to wash double-based Skaven Warplock Jezzail [COMPLETE]
  • Paint 5 Pestigors (that count as Plaguebearers)
General
  • Figure out and create or buy Daemon conversion bases/movement trays to go between Fantasy and 40K
My short term goals have changed somewhat since I first posted them. I am no longer even thinking about Eldar, and any 40K that crosses my mind is in the form of Daemons. I love the idea of double-dipping, so to speak. I never know what I want to do with the Eldar, so I never settle on an idea and follow it through.

I'm not going to convert a 2nd Skaven Ratling Gun because I don't plan on playing my Skaven again any time soon. The next time I play WFB will probably be when the new escalation league begins, and I plan on playing my Daemons.

I still need to figure out what I'm going to do with bases/movement trays. I really want to go with round bases so that I can use the models for both 40K and Fantasy, but I know that I'll be playing WFB with them the majority of the time. Time to price-check GF9 custom trays!

An updated version of my short-term goals would read as follows:

Warhammer Fantasy
  • Assemble 10 Daemonettes
  • Assemble 10 Bloodletters
  • Assemble 5 Seekers
  • Test model a Horror
  • Model 4 Humanoid Plaguebearers
  • Greenstuff gaps on Beast of Nurgle
General
  • Figure out and create or buy Daemon conversion bases/movement trays to go between Fantasy and 40K
