It occurred to me recently that I have never finished a Warhammer army, which after nine years in the hobby is a bit of an odd omission. My beloved Guardian Pilgrims Space Marines, near a decade after I started them still have a couple of Devastator and Assault Squads liveried in pure Chaos Black undercoat. My Vampire Counts came pretty close the last two years but I'm still suffering from painter's block on the Corpse Cart I bought the very day I decided to start the army.
So, my Hobby Resolution for next yer is as follows: I will finish my Skaven army to 2,500 points making it both my first completed and my largest army to date. What's more I'll be working to a plan: I will write out an army list based around what I have now (about 1,000 points) and plan out the expansion in stages so my 1,000 army becomes a 1,500 point army and so on rather than adding odds and sods at random. So this is basically the plan:
Start no other Warhammer project until I'm finished the Skaven.
Finish painting everything I buy and work on one unit at a time.
Have a plan, stick to it.
Have a budget, stick to it.
I've got high hopes for this project because I think the Skaven have one of the strongest ranges of models Games Workshop produce (except the Rat Ogres, of course) and they are such great fun to play. Admittedly they are fun in a random, as-dangerous-to-themselves-as-their-enemy sort of way but very fun nonetheless.
It also helps that my friends Matt, Brad and Greg have invited me to play out the Blood In The Badlands campaign in the new year so I'll have an immediate use for the army.
Now, once more, paint-paint Ashelford man-thing, fast-quick.
