Pledges for 2014

Post by nazgob »

No one seems to have started this, so I'm going to.


1) Finish the Halfling team I started

2) Start and finish an Underworld team

3) Secret project #002

4) Participate in the TFF legacy team

5) Win the TFF legacy team

6) Win the NAFC Painting Competition

7) Enter the NAFC Duel category

8) Blog properly at least once a month

***edit***

So apparantly, we're including non Blood Bowl stuff. In that case:

9) Buy and paint two more Screamer Killers for my Nids

10) Complete my Gorkamorka gang

11) Complete my Ratskins

12) Paint 2 gromits

13) Play a lot more Game of Thrones

Snap. I have the models already and as I'm using them in my league's next season (starting in March) I better get some paint on them :)

1. paint at least one new team, of the 8 or 10 I've got unpainted.
2. attend a tournament where I decide on what I'm taking more than a day before the event. Will probably help with #1 :lol:
3. try to get to more than 2 tournaments this year.
4. finish off at least some of the half-painted teams I've got.
5. fill out a couple of teams where I need one or two more positionals.
6. (stealing from Thadrin, sorry!) play more X-Wing because its awesome, and doesn't involve any painting :-)

#4 is feasible, you've got approximately a 1/20 chance of #5 ;)

Mine are

General:
1) Paint more than 28 figures (my total for 2013)
2) Play more than 14 games of anything (my total for 2013)

My Blood Bowl goals:
1) Run a 3rd successful TFF Legacy Team
2) Finish my Dark Elf Blood Bowl team
3) Play at NAFC 2014
4) Enter NAFC 2014 duel category
5) Double the number of figures released for Beast Face Miniatures(6 to date) and start making a profit!

Non Blood Bowl goals:
1) Finish my Confrontation Bratt gang
2) Complete my Citadel Eternal Champion collection
3) Start playing some skirmish games with the above mentioned Eternal Champion collection

Nothing too strenuous, all achievable (apart from perhaps making a profit from a Fantasy Football line!)

Blood Bowl stuff :

1. finish painting my humans and necros
2. paint my Gaspez dorfs
3. don´t buy any new stuff before 1 and 2 are completed !
4. play at least 30 table top blood bowl matches - and at least two per team I own...
5. ...and at least the same number of FUMBBL matches

non Blood Bowl stuff :

1. spend more time on outdoor sports
2. lose weight to make 1 easier
3. play a Mordheim game
4. if 3 proves to be fun build and paint a Mordheim band

and with all this stuff going on continue to spend as much time with family and friends as possible !

Ordered the Impact! Ogres, so..
1. Paint them before Tulips,
2. Paint my DElfs (either the whole team, or the SB team),
3. Paint that nice GW Necromancer in their newish plastic,
4. Build/paint the Impact! Lizards team,

Not sure if I can do that all, but the Ogres are a 'must'. I dont really like playing with unpainted models.

edit: and, of course, paint a model for the TFF legacy team :D

Much more fun than objective setting at work (which I also have to do today)

1) Finish painting my human team (Really no excuse, not much more than a couple of number and some final highlights)
2) Assemble and paint my Impact Amazons (and post some progress shots on TFF)
3) Paint up my sideline figures (Coach, Babe and Wizard waiting for some TLC at the mo')
3) Get to half a dozen tournaments this year (NAF Championships, Geordiebowl and EurOpen are on the shortlist so far)
4) Get some coding work done on our League website.

Paint my elf team before I run out of time and just end up covering them in felt tip on the train down to the Welsh open...
