State of the Spawning Address: 2010 is gone here's to 2011

A bit late in coming (heh) but here is looking back at 2010 and what 2011 happens to bring:

To the year that was:

Well 2010 wasn't a total loss of my hobby time. I had managed to get more gaming in. Bought some new paint and managed to get in a couple of tournaments. With the Feb to March as the Gladiator Cup gamings this should be a good time to get back to finish gaming.

Model fund wise we saw it all evaporate to other commitments that need me to break the penny jar.. Was able to sell off some unwanted stuff though.

Revew: Frequency of posts: C-
Well 2010 was an increase of posting on my part.. From 6 back up to 17 for the whole year.. Not better than 2008 but at least better than 2009. I aim to increase the number of posts for this year as well (target at least 30 again).. will see.

Review: Number of games in: C-
Well managed to get me some 14 games of 40k and was able to even get a game with my old LaTD and some BFG action.




NEWs on the hobby side.

Have done some rework with the stuff upstairs.. basically any filing, assembling and cutting must be done on the 2nd floor balcony to be it aerated.. (at the very least) and to prevent the room from being filled with plastic dust and other toxic stuff.

I have managed to start painting again at the dining table.. I however need to remember that some things like undercoating could have been done sooner and without mess had I just spray bombed them and not having to brush it on myself.. that and I need to remember to clean with soapy water first the models.. oh well.. at least it's a start.







So now what?

The glad cup is now in full swing. I will be posting my army lists and the games I have had so far. I have forced myself to play with the other parts of the army that I have not yet assembled and primed. With me finally finding a way to transport the army without it going to pieces (using lots of double sided tape) I should be able to play then paint with the army that I have.

Speaking of paint. One of the things that have made me procrastinate is all of my GW paints gunking up and being totally unusable and me spending needless time in trying to coax some paint out of them.(oh GW .. great paints but your containers are crap crap crap)  Ah fudge it... I am replacing my paints already with SEMCO and Privateer Paints..


I do plan to get at least TWO Video Batreps in  for the Glad cup.. ala what they do in BOLS. This has been hampered a bit by the lack of motivation on my part AND having to endure 3+ hours of gaming. But I have managed to get one video report in and I hope to get it up and running here on these blog during the next few days.

Here's to it then.
