2015 Resolutions

2014 just finished up and we are now into 2015.

Not much was posted in the second half of 2015 since the group focus was on Star Wars RPG and the Pathfinder RPG.

Here's a recap of my 2014 resolutions:
For 2014, I'm going to attempt to go the opposite direction and make easier and achievable Resolutions.  I'm going to have 4 Resolutions to work to for my hobbies.

Here they are:
1) paint 2 Retribution units (non-solos),
2) build and paint a 1000pt Raven Guard Army,
3) build and paint a Christmas gift model, and
4) build and paint a Kickstarter unit (Deadzone, Robotech, or Hardsuit).

This should be far more achievable than the last couple of years.  

As an experiment, I was able to paint up a pair of WarmaHordes solos for Christmas in about a weeks time and I think I can do the same with the models I have.  Given about 40 weeks of the calendar that I can work on models, at a pace of 2 model a week, then I should be able to paint up the 15 Retribution models, 35 Raven Guard models, 1 Christmas model, and 10 Kickstarter models with some time to spare.  

In addition to time spent painting, there's also the possibility of running a Fanime panel.  That's still being developed, so stay tuned. 

So, the results are...that I didn't meet any of them.  Don't get me wrong, I started every one of the projects, but life got busy and I never could manage my time to meet any of the goals.  Inspiration also disappeared since we didn't regularly wargame.

Since it is now 2015, let's look at some resolutions for this year.

I'm going to have 3 Resolutions to work to for my hobbies.
Here they are:
1) paint a Retribution unit,
2) paint a Raven Guard unit,
3) and paint a Robotech unit.
This is much weaker than the previous years, but let's try to meet them this year.
Little steps...
