4 weeks to go, thought I'd put it out there where I am. here was the list
1) photograph all my models and get them online
2) upgrade all my bases
3) break 10k for World Eaters:
4) get a space marine Fire raptor:
5) legally get whatever FW books I need to play Spartan in 40k for marines and chaos
6) Sell my blood angels: no use having 2 marine armies, especially when 1(blood angels) is restricted to only 1 40k codex
7) play Kevin in 4k game
8) get back into Fantasy (when 9th comes out)
Updates
1) no progress
2) I have rebased practically all of my Ogres and have based all of the betrayal at Calth models I have primed up so far, I also wrote down a list of what Bases I need to rebase the world eaters. its well over 200 bases. I've decided not to touch the sisters of battle until a paper book comes out. Also I am not rebasing my elder because I have no interest in them at this point(still haven't even bought the new codex). So, I consider this well on it's way
3) I made an inventory of all of the models I own for my World Eaters either in boxes/assembled/unfinished painting to see how many points I still have to paint. During this I included all Khorne models/daemons because I might use the daemonkin book at some point. When I did this I figured I should then include any painted daemons I own as part of the painted total. With the daemons added, I am at 10,060 points. The cool thing looking back is the model that put me over was my first Contemptor dreadnought (world eater specific) A model I always wanted since I first saw it, but never had the money to buy, then I was able to get it in a trade with my new 30k buddy I met online
4) Summer job ended before I was able to buy this, so I'll probably have to save up for a couple months to buy this(not going to tournies could accelerate this timeline though)
5) no progress (I have chips copy of the SM book and there is no word on how the chaos book interacts with the daemonkin book). see #4 for more explanation
6) Blood Angel army is sold
7) played Kevin
8) Played 6 games in two kings' escalation league (I won, due to having just as many victories as anyone else and then being the only one to show up 5 weeks in a row after) and a few pickup games at my place. Also went 3-1-1 at Daboyz GT and won tournament choice for combined sportsmanship(average score) and painting (got 24.5/25). So I would consider that a big check plus
So, that puts me at 4/8 (2,6,7,8) being achieved and good progress has been made on #3. #1 won't happen this year due to me needing to really sit down and research how to do everything. #4 and #5 just didn't happen due to money contraints, so maybe I'll just move them on to next year, though at this point I haven't played with a 40k army in about 6 months so the books aren't that important to me at this time.
Also doing the inventory of things to come, I have 10,060 points for World Eaters painted and just over 11,000 points on deck. I think next year will be a big World Eater painting year.
I'm starting to think about goals for next year. some of the unaccomplished ones from this year will make that list along with learning all of the internet stuff I need to know to have a big online presence next year complete with great pictures. Part of that Is I need to line up all of my online id's and such that they sink up, plus need to get on facebook and start bloging (both hobby wise and get my playground project online too). It's sad that I spent 2 years at RIT (96-98) and now my head spins just trying to figure out my cell phone/tablet sometimes.
