So a new year and a new opportunity to set some targets for the coming year. I didn’t record these last year, but suffice to say it didn’t go well.

So new year, new targets. Everything below is what I would like to achieve by the end of the year. Hopefully (if I remember) I’ll post an update each month on how I’m doing.

With a 1 year old in the house for 2024, my goals are much smaller than Peter’s but we’ll see how I get on. In the past I have set 10-12 goals and aimed to achieve about a half-dozen (6 ish) of them. This gives good scope for changes in direction whatever the British weather (or GW releases) throws at us!

• Paint up my Imperialis Boxed Set
• Finishing painting my Bolt Action Soviet Infantry
• Paint my Bolt Action Soviet Tanks and learn techniques to help with 40k tanks
• Play in a Necromunda campaign (with my Van Saar … which brings me to:)
• Finish painting my Van Saar in my new colour scheme
• Write up all painting and hobby as Hobby Articles on Woehammer
• Keep reading (30 books in the year)
• Start work on a 40k diaroma
• Read more source books (like Book of Chains (Necromunda) or Loyalist Legio (Titanicus) and review them
• Continue playing board games (this one is a little more difficult than I’d like with small grasping hands getting taller) & write 4 reviews on Woehammer
• Read and review The Old World

So that’s it a simple list and certain to fail on some of them, but hopefully enough, they are achievable to keep me going. Here’s to a good 2024!

• Complete Bolt Action league with Finnished Finns
• Complete 2k (or whatever standard army size is) Empire army for Old World for the Christmas game
• Complete 2k of Adeptus Mechanicus
• Complete the Imperialis box
• Play at least one game of something a month
