So, looking over my blog statistics and my spread sheet I
keep I have done a total of 55 posts and painted a 105 models. It sounds like a lot, and in many ways it is
but I feel as though I could do a lot more.
So, here’s hoping for next year!
My year started good, I started off expanding my dwarf armyto 2500 points. This involved me pushing
my chances a little bit, mainly by doing some converting of models – such as my
runesmith and runelord. Both of which I
am rather happy with. Unfortunately from
here it rather went downhill. After
August I painted the blood bowl team which I sold on eBay and my last project
of the year was the secret Santa for librarium-online.com.
The eBay stuff I am happy with the haul, making over £200
for myself from various items – most of which were minis – something I might be
trying to repeat again (I have a whole load of high elves to flog and some
elder). Maybe even other stuff to
consider for later is buying a box to paint up and flog. I’m even considering selling off my Scions ofRa marines as I never use them; they’re just sat at the parents doing nothing.
So, overall my year in painting has been a quiet one,
nothing really to speak off. However,
where my painting has lacked I have done plenty of other stuff. I will admit, quite a bit of this is based
off of the computer. Myself and a couple
of friends have been blasting our way through World of Warcraft trying to get a
character to level 90 with the new expansion – Mists of Panderia. This has been great fun, and has led to me
spending more time on the game, burning time on it. In fact, too much time. This is one of those things I’m going to make
a resolution to, but fail at within the first week, so let’s not do that. Aside from WOW I have discovered my love for
the Civilisation games and completed two of them this Christmas (achievement
hunting, as I love it). And the steam
holidays sale has found me buying Blood Bowl, Oblivion and Mass Effect
1&2. Need to keep away from that
now…
This isn’t to say that I haven’t done any gaming; on the
contrary I have done quite a lot! I
picked up a number of board games this year, and have played these A LOT. Loads being played with the family-to-be,
mostly 7Wonders, and quite a few when friends are about. All worth their money, as I love evenings
like that and would love to have more next year.
It’s not only been board games I’ve played, I have even
managed to get some tabletop gaming in this year! I have tried to go to my local gaming group
more this year, having a regular opponent now.
My old, poor battered orks have seen some action and have come off worse
for it in most games.
So, as you can see I’ve had a slow but varied year. Now, enough of the past on to my
resolutions. I am hoping to revisit this
throughout the year marking off, or mentioning what I have achieved off of the
following list in 2013, and at the end like this one, I’ll do a little post
about it all.
