To Do List 2019/20

Having covered my achievements over the past season it's now that I look forward to the new one.

As usual my list is pretty much everything I still haven't completed from previous seasons. In fact this is almost a copy/paste from last years post! But I am working through these each year so the system does work. I've added a few new things though so there are some surprises to look forward to. Anything in bold is a priority, everything else is nice to have.

However, I'm going to be mainly going with the flow, real life is still very much the priority so I need to focus on these two…
  1. Develop a more healthy hobby/life balance - go to bed at a decent hour[ish]
  2. Find time to play some games, not just tournament play so I can have some fun among the daily grind...
But for my Dark Angels I'll be looking at these:
  1. Dreadtober - Redemptor Dreadnought
  2. Dark Angel - Deathwing Knights
  3. Dark Angel - Ravenwing Attack Bike[s]
  4. Dark Angel - Ravenwing Bikes [I might convert these to Black Knights]
  5. Dark Angel - Macragge Tactical Squad
  6. Dark Angel - Deathwing Land Raider
The remaining nid and terrain based items are these:
  1. Genestealer Cult Abberants [get them painted - have some fun]
  2. Genestealer Cult Acolyte Iconward
  3. 2 Tyranid Hive Guard 
  4. 4 Tyranid Rippers
  5. 2 sets of Ferron Fire Firs - paint.
  6. Tyranid Void Shield Generator [it hasn't had any progress for a while, I just need to do more, even if it's just as a terrain piece, although unrealistic in the face of other projects]
  7. Blood Bowl Humans
  8. Blood Bowl Orks [? yeah not likely but if I can get the hoomies done maybe...]
  9. Shadespire warbands - I've moved these lower down as I'm not sure there are any that interest me. I do find them a joy to paint and I've learned new skills doing them but if I want some variety the Blood Bowl Humans and Orks should come first [cos I quite fancy some Halflings too...].
Pipe dream items - these are things that have been on my list and in all honesty I'm not likely to tackle this year [or any other...] but I do not want them forgotten so I'll just note them as things I'll eventually do, one day:
  1. Tyranid Promethium Relay Pipes
  2. Dark Angel - Aegis Defence Line [totally low down as most of the Fortifications suck game wise but it'd be nice to have some extra terrain pieces and I think it's actually the best value out of the pieces I have]
  3. Tyranid Bastion Crater [I have zero intent to do this this season, if ever, just want to remind myself it exists]
The Big Build will continue this season. Still a lot of what was not complete from previous lists but  the principle is sound and pays dividends with those items that tend to be off-list that get built through to painting and completion.
  • Ravenwing bikes
  • Ravenwing attack bikes
  • Ravenwing Talonmaster?
  • Build some new terrain? 
    • Shrine of the Aquila
    • Galvanic Magnavent
  • Space Hulk Genestealers - get them based!
  • 3 Tyranid Lictors
  • 3 Tyranid Warriors
  • 3 Tyranid Shrikes
  • 5 Dark Angel Veterans/Command Squad
  • Remaining Deathwing Terminators
So that's me for 2019/20 again a lot on my plate, especially when you take into account I need to balance things a little more. All the best for your own efforts this season.

    1. Go with the flow! Whatever keeps you mojo up, as the pirates say 'they're really just guidelines'. ;)

    1. Thanks, luckily a lot have already been started so I could be very productive this year - so long as I can also find that balance...

  3. Good luck with the projects! I am also finding time to fit in all the hobby stuff I want to do. Sadly, my blog writing has taken a hit in this, but I hope to step it up again.

    1. My hobby matrix would help illustrate that ;) Blogging is an easy target in some respects. I've managed to find time and use our 'standalone laptop', it's only slightly more of a faff than previous.
