With the recent hobby season coming to a close, I began to cast my mind's eye towards the future and what I want to achieve in the coming years. Here are some of my hobby goals for the 2016/2017 season.
1. Find a new gaming club
This is the big one for me. I will be moving to Newcastle in a few of weeks to start a new job. As a result, I will be leaving the St Andrews area and the awesome Dundee Wargames Club. My main hobby priority will be finding a new club that I can continue to play at. For me, gaming is one of the great joys of 40k. I do enjoy painting and modelling, but gaming is why I really do this hobby. I will hopefully be able to find a club to continue to do so.
2. Visit Warhammer World
One of the benefits of moving further south is that I will be closer to Nottingham. I have yet to make the great pilgrimage to Warhammer World, so would love to do this in the coming year. I may even be able to convince a fellow blogger to join me so that I could get an awesome battle report written.
3. Fight Some Bloggers!
I would love to start getting some battle reports against the various bloggers around the UK. There are some fantastic armies and players out there that I would love to face. If you are interested in this, let me know and we'll try and get something set up.
4. Finish another army
I want to get another army painted up this year. Ideally, I would love to get my Vampire Counts army finished. I make some progress towards this last hobby season, but it was sidelined by my White Scars to some extent. I will also hopefully be starting my Emperor's Children army this year too, as well as another new army that I have been tempted with.
5. Paint More Terrain
I love making and painting terrain in 40k. I've been a bit lax with doing this over the years, so would like to get some of my terrain projects finished off over the next hobby year. I won an Imperial Sector at a recent tournament, so would love to get this built and painted. Plus, I find terrain much easier and quicker to paint than stuff for my army.
6. Paint my Knight
I need to get my Imperial Knight painted up this year. I would obviously like to take some time with this and do a decent job with it.
A lot of generic goals here. I can't think of anything too specific at the moment, but may add to it as the year progresses.
