2018 in Review


Better late than never right?

40k

So last year was an interesting one, I started out pretty strong with a clear view to the Grand Tournament final in May, and then attending the season again later in the year. 

It didnt quite work out to play, although I placed better than expected at the Grand Tournament - 16th the tournaments that followed it quickly ran me into the ground, with me actually dropping out of two midway through (not any of my proud moments here).

That in itself pretty much killed me playing anymore games as since July I managed only 3 more games of 40k. 

I had hoped for 1 game a week at the beginning of the year, I didnt quite make that, but 30 games isn't half bad given the length of time I just stopped playing!

Age of Sigmar

It might not have been a great year for 40k, but it was a decent one for Age of Sigmar, two games now under my belt, an upcoming tournament, nearly 2,000 points painted and a local escalation league kicking off I can see Age of Sigmar featuring in a bigger way for me this year! 

Adeptus Titanicus

This took me a while to get into, but I now have the beginnings of a decent maniple, with 2 Warlords, a Reaver, 2 Warhounds, 6 Knights & 2 Cerastus Knights ready to do battle. 

Like Age of Sigmar I look forward to see how this plays out this year, and hope to arrange a weekend day of gaming through my local club to let us all really focus in on the Adeptus Titanicus game! 

With 2 games of this played as well there is still plenty to learn (and paint!)

Overall

So for 2019 I have a few good ideas and aims:

  • 52 games played this year, in any combination of Age of Sigmar, 40k & Adeptus Titanicus
  • A fully painted 2,000 point Stormcast Army
    • Stormcast Endless spells
    • 5 Evocators
    • 1 Lord Arcanum
    • 1 Lord Ordinator
    • Various Movement Trays
  • A fully painted 2,000 point Adeptus Titanicus army
    • 2 Warlords
    • 1 Reaver
    • 2 Warhounds
    • 6 Knights
    • 2 Cerastus Knights
  • Finishing off my Ultramarines
    • Marneus Calgar
    • Victrix Guard
    • Repulsor
    • 5 Hellblasters
    • 2 Inceptors
    • 10 Intercessors
    • Primaris Librarian
    • 10 MkIII marines
