Season of Wood

Afternoon #WarHamFam and #warhammercommunity having covered my achievements over the past hobby season, it's now that I look forward to the new one.

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:
  1. Norn Emissary [#DreadTober]
  2. Genestealer Cult Sentinels [#DreadTober]
  3. Leviathan - Neurotyrant and 2x Neuroloids:
  4. Leviathan - 5x Barbgaunts
  5. Leviathan - Winged Tyranid Prime
  6. Leviathan - 3x Von Ryan's Leapers
  7. Leviathan - 20x Termagants
Imperial Knights
  1. Cerastus Knight Acheron
  2. 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
  1. 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 :
  1. Dark Angel - The Lion
  2. Dark Angel - Sammael on Jetbike
  3. Dark Angel - Old skool Crayola Whirlwind, or
  4. 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:
  1. 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]
I've had a number of items that I classed as pipe dreams, both painting and building and instead of keeping them here for the records I'll refer back to a previous season should I need them next season. 

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.
