Looking Back on 2019

Well, that was a year. While I didn't do much blogging in 2019, I was actually quite productive from a hobbying and gaming perspective. Hobbywise, I participated in the second Old World Army Challenge (completing a Night Goblin army), managing to paint a 1200 point army in six months. After that, I lost some momentum due to health issues and didn't get much painting done until October/November (some artillery and trolls for the goblins). In total, I managed to paint 94 minis. That's a definite improvement over my output in previous years.

It turned out that gaming was a big part of 2019 for me. I was able to attend all three of the East Coast HMGS conventions: Cold Wars, Historicon, and Fall In! The goblins saw plenty of action, mostly against Blue in VT's Dwarf army, but also making common cause with the Lead Collector's Orcs against He of Three Names' Dark Elves.

 What's on the agenda for 2020?

• OWAC3, this time with Orcs!
• Oldhammer Siege at Cold Wars 2020 (need to paint some siege equipment for this).
• Paint up some opposition for my goblinoids, in the form of some old school adventurer types and miscellaneous Empire minis.
• Try and get a Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay campaign going to scratch the Old World itch.

 

I couldn't resist, plus it was tax-free.

On with 2020!
