2009 Wm/h Resolutions, What do YOU plan to do in '10...?

[zengoth]

As the clock nears midnight, it is time to reflect on the passing year and the one upcoming. And during this time, I reflect on what I resolve to do in 2010 as far as WM/H is concerned:


? Earn PressGanger status

? Organize one 'big' event per month at my LGS

? Play 20+ games (as 2009 held a total of 0 games for me... )

? Play in this years CTA League (if PP has one like in years past)

? Attend WARMACHINE Weekend 2010

? Bring the ThrallHarvest 2010 trophy to Oklahoma City

? Fully Painted


What do you resolve to do with WM/H this year? Post here, and we can all check back on Dec. 31, 2010 to see how sucessful we were...

[thesama]

I only have one resolution (related to WM/hordes):

Paint more models than I purchase.

[Avecrien]

To crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and hear the lamentation of their women.

[asoka]

1. This past year I successfully completed 52 minis in 52 weeks. I am gonna try to do that again.

2. Play more. I only got a small handful of games in this year, and it was unacceptable. I would like to get some more time at a tabletop, but some of it will undoubtedly be vassal games (and that's ok too).

[whitekong]

Cygnar fully painted 12 models left.
Menoth fully painted 7 models left.
Mercs fully painted 15 models left.

and any of the new stuff I purchase for warmachine.

[gdaybloke]

1. Attend Templecon
1a. Win at least one game @ Templecon
1b. Be able to field at least 50pts fully paint Trib @ Templecon
2. Paint the Harbinger of Menoth (the real challenge!)
3. Attend at least one Day Of Valour tourney at The Hobby Kingdom
4. Maintain the daily posting schedule at Lost Hemisphere

[Almightyfoon]

1. Paint my mercs (getting close to about 75 points of unpainted, its shameful really)
2. Finish painting my Cygnar (Only about 20 there)
3. Get more games in, maybe find a tourney or two to hit.

[Exemplar's_Gaze]

1. Finish painting my Menoth force - a lot left.
2. Try my best to do the same for Ret.

[notsoevil]

Keep painting, and play a ton. Sounds simple enough.

[DudeOfOrboros]

Fully painted Circle. Play 1 game a week.

[Agamemnon]

Paint....lots....and lots....well. Maybe shoot for a fully painted Cygnar in 24 months....

Can you have a new years resolution that takes 2 years or more?

[Demeritus]

Buy the new faction decks, buy at least 2-3 of the faction books (the Cygnar one has me interested thanks to Doug mentioning some Retribution info in there).

Play lots of Warmachine. Happily anticipate the (probable) 2011 book.

[Saerko]

I feel peer pressure to make a resolution about painting, but I know it's not going to happen.

How about this one: do well enough at my job to earn enough money one day to pay some poor slob to paint all the bare metal I routinely throw on the table top.

Seems do-able.

[Jyggdrasil]

1 - Paint more than I buy
2 - Attend Gen Con Indy
3 - Buy PPSers and PodThralls beers at Gen Con Indy
4 - Support my adopted local gaming community, mainly via events and terrain

[malfred]

Retain players at the FLGS.

Support other PGer events.

Keep updating the Warmachine/Hordes stuff on the Dakka Dakka wiki.

Continue my plan to expand all my armies:

Warcaster/Warlock
Warbeast
Unit/Attachments
Solo

It's a "not that expensive" way to upgrade my armies (I wouldn't call it inexpensive).

[BrandonPHX]

Finish painting my every growing Skorne army. Play more games and I plan on putting together a Pirate and a Retribution army.

[PG_Dino-Czar]

Purchase/paint/play:

2x Chain Guns
2x Cyclones
10x Longguners with UA
Kara Sloan

Why? Because Suppressing fire is the new Smoke template.

[Ganmeyde]

Settle on a unified colorscheme for my menoth, and be able to field 35 points that looks like a cohesive force.

Right now I have:

• Sevvy in gloopy, thick, terrible white/gold/silver/red/orange. My first model, ever.
• Unit + UA of Flameguard in white and bright red (terribly painted, didn't know you could dilute them at the time. I was a nub)
• A devout in light blue-grey and silver. Paint is flaking off due to improper priming and varnishing. My first jack ever.
• Castigator in dark red and orange, with a crooked freehand menofix on his hull.
• Kreoss in Brass, Copper (he looks like a new penny), silver, dark red, and white.
• Seneschal in a 1:1 mix of gold and silver, with liberally applied ink. (I actually like this one. But it only really looks decent on the KE, and a whole army of those would look bland in this scheme.)
• Zealots in a rainbow of colors on their shirts, with matching green berets, grey pants, and dark blue-grey sashes and masks. One is throwing a pokeball.
• Reznik + Battlegroup in dark blue-grey, with gunmetal metals (and some dark gold accents to break up the gunmetal), and deep shading. Dark brown leather/cloth.
• A second Seneschal in a test scheme of dark gray with orange on some parts of the armor, gunmetal swords, etc. Matches Reznik's group and the Zealots well enough, but the orange sticks out a bit. Will probably make it a bit paler.

Right now I'm thinking Vallejo Sombre Grey, highlighted with a mix of it and vallejo wolf grey as the main unifying theme for my force. Right now I have it used on:

• Max zealots (though only as a minor color. Each one is otherwise pretty much unique. It still ties them in enough for my purposes, though.)
• Reznik
• Redeemer
• Revenger
• Crusader
• Seneschal (Modified examplar scheme)

However, I want my Examplars to stand out from the rest, so I'm propably going to replace the browns with a softer orange, (GW Foundation Macharius Solar Orange, mixed with GW Foundation Dheneb stone) as the orange on my test Senny is a bit too bright for my taste.

Also, ten bucks says I wind up with another scheme by the time I get around to painting up a few more units.

[CallmeGene]

Finish painting my armies as well s those of my friends, and ore importantly, to get in more games with friends and my extended family.

[Mage of Iris]

Buy three Ironclad boxes. Paint two Ironclads and a Cyclone, and finish repairing my old Ironclad who has been armless for two years... (Third time's a charm right?)

[AxeHappy!!]

I am planning on getting in more games and working on painting skills.

[Necra-Chi]

I am planning to start a new army. Khador, Strakhov, assault kommandos, marauders, decimators, widowmakers. Hopefully it won't take me too long to collect and paint it so I can actually play it this year.

[loftybloke]

Get my first game (hopefully of many many more) of WM

and of course finish painting my heavies (2 left to fully painted)

[Binz]

Well, ive already lost my first game of the year!

So, i suppose a good resolution is to get my revenge.

I think my resolution will be 52 games in 52 weeks. That should give me lots of practice

[cunningweasel]

Buy some more dudes.
Assemble my dudes.
Possibly paint some dudes.
My gaming group and I to play MK2.

[Askew37]

Paint all my Trollbloods

Thick out my Searforge Units to max size.

[russianpaladin]

My goal is to not only teach people at my job to play, but get all of my battlegroups painted that is 10 WM and 2-3 hordes groups. Good news with that is, all my jacks and beasts for 4 factions will be done. Then comes the PBI and solos

[dancingmonkey]

Keep working on my 2010 Skarre army.
Varnish all my minis.
Paint front arc markings where needed.
Keep on Pressganging.
Start my teacher training course might need to go with some Beast Handling skills...

[69Lazarus]

Paint ALL of my factions. That should be enough right there...

[Sam Lam]

1. Memorize all the statlines and special rules to warmachine by February and all hordes by May.
2. Have a 66%+ winning record
3. Rank top 10 in golden daemon.
4. Paint my friend's Harbinger of Menoth and win first in my local store's annual painting competition.

[DaughterOfFrankenstein]

1: Buy every MK II Book.
2: Get my armies painted.
3: Start terrain building.
4: win more tourneys.

[pipeline]

straight A's

[CrimsonGuard]

1: Paint all of my unpainted mini's (12 points mercs, 52 points Khador, 15 points retribution)
2: rounding out myRetribution force by adding Halberdiers + UA and some arcnodes.
3: painting those new Retribution models
4: Play at least 1 game a week.

[Shadowspite]

play more games at the LGS instead of at home. although with how my schedule is looking, this one is going to be tough.

attain my black belt

maintain at least a B average

this is going to be a busy year....

[nealb]

At first I thought - 'you shoulrdnt repaint your first models as you will:
a) spend forever going over your old stuff in a cycle for eternity
b) Not see the improvements in your own painting skills'

But after reading through your list of stuff ie' Zealots in a rainbow of colors on their shirts' I definatley agree with repainting your stuff


My own resolution:

learn how to blend paints, and become reasonibly competative in tournemants so as not to come last!

[Melo]

1) Paint up a new fraction
2) Learn the new rules
3) Make sure that Danish Masters 2010 is a success

[mrhuettel]

1, buy the new cygnar stuff and paint it to have an "all inclusive fully painted cygnar" (at the moment: fully painted but 10 mins) - kara and the new stormsmith being priority #1 and #2.
2, get at least three plastic jack boxes (2x heavy, 1x light as i own most light jacks at least twice.
3, expand my new searforge army and get them to "fully painted"-status
4, do more conversions
5, play as many games as in 2009 (around 35, i guess...)

[PrudentMantis]

Paint more than I buy (much as I'd love it to, painting everything just isn't happening)
Buy all the Mk2 books
Improve my painting 'skills'
Play more games
Get better at playing said games
Help my little brother out with his army, both collecting and playing.

[Deadman]

I'd like to finish painting my COBRA army. It's cygnar painted up like Destro, Cobra commander etc...

Paint up my Skorne cyclops army.

And maybe win a tournament or two.

[John Q.]

More games, expand my Skorne to a solid 50 points, and start army number 2 (that might wait till rumoured hordes faction number 5 appears)
