I did a lookback on the hobby aspect of 2020.
Built and painted:
- Medusa Siege Gun artillery carriage
- Three Auxilia rotor cannon mobile guns
- Two Auxilia with sniper rifles
- 5-man Auxilia Recon Squad
- 5-man Auxilia Platoon Command Squad
- Tauros garage terrain piece
- 20-man Sons of Horus Tactical Squad
- 10-man White Scars Recon Squad
- Auxilia sergeant and three missile launcher troopers
- White Scars Rhino
- Primaris-Lightning Strike Fighter
- 5-man Sons of Horus Terminator Squad
- Storage and mixing facility two-story terrain piece plus a few ladders, platforms and barriers
- Added second close combat weapons to my 10-man White Scars tactical squad, made a White Scars banner, magnetized ~70 bases and two storage boxes, and maybe a few other miscellaneous projects.
Total: 54 infantry, three vehicles/artillery, and two terrain pieces.
Played six battles:
- Five games making up Phase 4 of our Horus Heresy campaign for Xhorik Prime
- Including our biggest game of all time: 4,000 points per side featuring four factions with fully painted armies and terrain on a 8 ft x 5 ft table.
- One WH40k 7th Edition game with both of my brothers featuring Orks vs Drop Troops
Created six battle reports:
- The finale of Phase 3 of our campaign and the first four reports of Phase 4
- The Orks vs Drop Troops game
That equates to each month:
- Building and painting either ~8 infantry or a vehicle or terrain piece
- Plus, either playing a game or writing a battle report
Not bad for squeezing in some hobby time around the wife, kids and job! It did not feel like much progress as the year went along, probably because the work was split over three factions plus terrain. My goal will be to meet or exceed that output in 2021! Ever onward...
Jeez. That's incredible! So much stuff done and not just painting minis. You've immortalised our hobby with tons of photos and great batreps for our kids and grandkids to see far in the future.
ReplyDeleteIf we are lucky and our kids turn out nerdy and artistic, they'll have a very high standard to reach to compare w you. I imagine that my Intern videos are comparable; it'll be many years before our kids comprehend how much time and effort went into them but hopefully I inspire them to create. Your project here is much more involved, though! The best I do is draw a few biohazard symbols on paper
ReplyDeleteWow! I’m just discovering this post. That’s a lot of progress in one year. Very impressive! Puts my list to shame!
