Season of Wood
My list this year has been streamlined. I've only included things I want to do with an either/or and if I buy something. It's much smaller than usual, but some items are quite significant. If I manage to do well I may revisit the list mid-season.
As previous years I am going to begin with these two items, which are enshrined as the most important things TO DO every season…
- Develop a more healthy hobby/life balance - go to bed at a decent hour[ish]
- Continue to play games, they bring me so much joy and fun...
- Find a way to be happy about not always doing battle reports
But for my painting goals let's start with Tyranids. I didn't get many of these done in 2023/24 I even found the prospect of painting them of little interest, but they need to be done:
- Norn Emissary [#DreadTober]
- Genestealer Cult Sentinels [#DreadTober]
- Leviathan - Neurotyrant and 2x Neuroloids:
- Leviathan - 5x Barbgaunts
- Leviathan - Winged Tyranid Prime
- Leviathan - 3x Von Ryan's Leapers
- Leviathan - 20x Termagants
Imperial Knights
- Cerastus Knight Acheron
- Cerastus Knight Castigator
If I get silly I might buy a Warlord Titan for Adeptus Titanicus, so that will be on both my build and paint lists
- Adeptus Titanicus Warlord Titan
Despite settling on their paint scheme all my Leviathan and Indomitus Dark Angels will not turn out to be my #ArmiesOnParade2024 entry. In fact they're going on hold, with only Sammael a priority and those two tanks... well it'll be one or the other :
- Dark Angel - The Lion
- Dark Angel - Sammael on Jetbike
- Dark Angel - Old skool Crayola Whirlwind, or
- Dark Angel - Proteus Land Raider
And the Death Guard, they're even less of a priority but if I find the time I may do:
- Gellerpox Infected
ArmiesOnParade2024 - decide on what I'm going to do...
Turnip28 is on hold [sorry]
The Big Build notionally continues, this season. The principle is sound and pays dividends with those items that tend to be off-list that get built through to painting and completion. But it's been streamlined:
- Dark Angel - Crayola Whirlwind, or
- Dark Angel - Proteus Land Raider
- Adeptus Titanicus Warlord Titan [if I get one]
So that's my 2024/25 list, much simpler but how will I know when I'm satisfied? All the best for your own efforts this season.
