Last Year's Hobby Addict Season

This time last year I started this blog with my Hobby Addict To Do List. While I have made some progress I am unfortunately no where near finished, and a couple of new projects have been added. I've also REALLY let the blog slip :/ 

Completed:

• Blood Angels

• Grey Knights

• A super secret project for my regular opponents' birthday- the Heldrake

• Deathwatch- one of my bigger projects for the next year, these guys have languished since the army was released years ago

Artemis, Librarian and Chaplain

Kill Tean

Kill Team

Kill Team

Sniper Kill Team

Heavy Weapons Kill Team

• Blood Angels

 Terminator Squad x2

• Grey Knights

Grey Knight Grand Master, Ancient and Apothecary 

Projects added throughout the year and completed:

• Necromunda Goliaths, Escher and Terrain

Still in Progress/to be started

• Death Guard- my main project, I'm was aiming for 2k points of Nurgle goodness, it's somehow grown to 3k thanks to Conquest deals and eBay!

Contents of Dark Imperium, including a few conversions

2 X Easy Build Plague Marine Boxes (with some conversions)- these are actually built but not painted

Deathshroud- likewise, built but not painted
A metric tonne of Poxwalkers

Blight Lords

Plague Marines

Blight Drones

Rhino

Plague Crawler

Death Guard Characters

• Primaris

Its over a year since Dark Imperium was released and yet I haven't built or painted a single Primaris model- in no small part due to crippling indecision as to how to use them! 

Contents of Dark Imperium + Easy Build Intercessors and Reivers

• Word Bearer Reinforcements - I have a bunch of old Chaos Marines I saved from eBay who are crying out for a repaint to join my Word Bearers and bring them up to a 2000pt list with some extra for variety. 

• Daemons

• Blackstone Fortress

• Delaque

• Gangs of Commoragh

• Terrain.

So yeah I still have a pretty massive to do list! I've started building the Death Guard and Blackstone Fortress miniatures, and have began repainting the Word Bearers from the Black Legion colours the original owner painted, but still have a long way to go. 

To top it all off, I haven't played a single game this year- not even Kill Team or Necromunda. Life just keeps getting in the way unfortunately and my kids and wife always take precedence, naturally. I do have a game tentatively arranged for once the Word Bearers are painted though. 
To try and get through the backlog I've made a few concessions- the Word Bearers will be painted to a very basic tabletop standard- even more so than my usual standard! 
 Part of my lack of progress is due to a bit of a hobby crisis. I find myself looking at GWs latest releases, or rather the price of the releases, and struggling to justify them to myself. Indeed, my eye has been turned by Flames of War- a game I always wanted to play but which has recently released a frankly amazing deal of a starter set. Don't be surprised if you see some Sherman's and Paratroopers on this page at some point in the next year.
