New Blog, goals for the year.

Greetings fellow hobbyists, and welcome to my new blog zone...blog spot.... blog.

      This is just going to be a small post about my hobbying. I am mostly into Warhammer 40k and Age of Sigmar. I do have small skirmish games that I hope to get games in for like Frostgrave, A song of Blades and Heroes and I just picked up the rules to Gaslands.

At the start of the year, I wrote down some hobby goals for 2018. Here is the list.


Assemble and paint my Outcast crew


I bought  the Herald of Obliteration box already assembled and based from ebay. Ronin are still in their package. Really enjoy the models, but the scale makes me a bit nervous to start them.


Learn to play Malifaux


Yes, I am one of those people. I buy new models before jumping into the rules to see how it runs. I have a friend looking to play and seems eager to get more people into the game. Where I live, Malifaux has died down in popularity now.


Completely paint 40k chaos army


When Dark Imperium came out, I bought two halves of the nurgle side. Think I might've bit off more then I could chew. I finished one half, but still have the other. This is an on going project, now that I also decided to paint up some khorne to go with my nurgle. I will have to post my grey tide of shame one of these days.


Play more games (1-2 a month)


I have been hitting this most months, but now that it's becoming spring time, there might be more temptation to do more things outside.


Start a shadow war campaign (with painted warband)


Last year my FLGS ran a shadow war campaign, I very much enjoyed the old rule set to it so I hope to get more games in. Lately, my brother was showing interest in a small skirmish game. Maybe I can setup some games with him.


Learn Frostgrave & SoB&H


I have had Frostgrave on my shelf for a few years, only got one game out of it so far. I was playing blood bowl when I bought it, and the way the wizard can improve (or get injured) reminded me of  Blood Bowl in a fantasy setting. My warband is painted, they are undead themed.


Face my grey tide


I have been buying a lot of warhammer and Age of sigmar at the start of this year and at the end of last year. My friend, Michael, was running a AoS Skirmish group for new players, so I wanted to finish up my Start Collecting box of Lizardmen and Clan Pestilent.

      I hope this blog gives me motivation to get more games in and to continue to improve my painting.

  1. Welcome to the Blogosphere!

    Some fun looking goals you've set for yourself. I look forward to following your progress on your blog (maybe add a followers gadget - not the google plus one, the blogger one...).

    Though I've gotten back into playing 40K lately, I LOVE Song of Blades and Heroes (and most of the other games from Ganesha Games). I love the scale of things and how quickly it plays and just doesn't ever seem to get bogged down.

  2. I have started reading the rules, it feels like a simple pick up and play game.
