My objectives:
- finish my GF's dwarfs (includes scenic base/tray);
- redo my Necro/Undead display tray (adding a witch and one ghoul from Heresy);
- start painting a new team (Slann or Nippon Rats...? Decisions...);
- time allowing paint some more sideline and display minis;
Should be doable... ;-D

Copy/paste/slight tweak from last year:

1. paint at least one new team, of the 8 or 10 I've got unpainted.
2. try to get to more than 2 tournaments this year.
3. finish off at least some of the half-painted teams I've got.
4. fill out a couple of teams where I need one or two more positionals.
5. play more Imperial Assault and X-Wing because they are awesome, and don't have to involve any painting :-) (although the Imp Assault figures are crying out for some paint...)

After taking up Blood Bowl in 2014 I got quite a lot done... Painted my old Orcs & Dwarves, painted a new Vampire team, made it along to 4 tournaments (some of which went pretty well... Some not so well!), and started up a local league that is now up to 12 regular players.

For 2015 I plan to....

-Finish my half-painted Humans
-Finish my half-painted Nurgle
-Paint my Skaven
-Paint my Khemri
-Model and paint my Chaos Pact
-Get to at least 10 tournaments
-Grow the league as much as possible

And last but not least...

-GET BETTER AT BLOOD BOWL

- Talk someone into painting one of my many unpainted teams.
- Talk someone into repainting one of my painted teams that need redoing.
- Non model related, but still paint related - respray my car.
- Might see if I can get my league going again.
- Play at a tourney or two.
- Drag more races over NAF rank 150.00
- Run two tournaments.

Blood Bowl related, I'm going to aim for:
- Finishing painting my Greebo Chaos Dwarf team.
- Finishing painting my Chaos Pact team.
- Paint some star players.

Other than that, I have the customary mound of unpainted lead that will keep me busy and frustrated for many years to come :orc:

From the several projects I've got going on, I'd love to have these completed by the end of 2015:
- Paint my converted GW Dwarf team,
- Strip and paint again my Dark Elf team,
- Paint a few more BB Star Players,
- Paint a couple warbands for other game systems (samurai, and pirate themed).

Hopefully a few more things too, but since there's always a new shiny thing along the way, I'd rather keep it real...

Cheers,
A.

I have all the teams painted...

Well a few need alternative pose models done as replacements, better paint jobs, additional team models where only the starting 1000tv team were done etc. Also I have next to no sideline staff painted up and have a store now of around 2-300 figs and supporters.

Sooo... win lottery, visit mate in Bangladesh, get his painting slaves to paint everything. While I am there they can do all my dreadball teams as well... Oh and a few boardgame components. And finish off my Space Crusade set. I am a bit behind.
