A Monthly Goals Thread
Or, near-monthly, weekly, what have you - basically, here is a thread to set modest short-term painting goals and, hopefully, show everybody that you met them! (Mostly because I need that kind of structure to actually get off my tuckus and paint. )
To get us started: I, the Other Dave, will paint these models by this month's Zengo meeting (that is, January 31st):
That's wrapping up the painting on two walkers and their dropship, plus getting pretty much everything done on 4 rocket artillery tanks, finishing up my 1500 points of PHR.

Feel free to call me Dave!

Re: A Monthly Goals Thread
Good idea for a thread. Difficult to actually come up with a realistic goal, though.
Hmmm. Let's say:
Finish all my 4ground buildings, and paint up the factory. I'm limited for time this month as my wife's friend is coming to visit near the end of the month and she and her daughter will be sleeping in my hobby room, thus hobby activity will need to be put on hold in favor of tidying the room and making it a) livable for a guest and b) safe for a small child.
It'll probly take a while

Re: A Monthly Goals Thread
I've been doing something along these lines over on the Warlord forums for a little over 2 years now, so I'll just copy/paste my January goals here.
For January, I pledge:
30 Warhammer 40K minis
5 D&D minis
1 Daimler Dingo
Should keep me busy.

Re: A Monthly Goals Thread
This month, may aim is to finish the High Elf army I should have finished this time last year - still to go are ten Sea Guard, a mounted army standard bearer and Elatharion. Next month? Dunno, but the new Yu Jing Guija for Infinity is calling me ...

Re: A Monthly Goals Thread
And with entire hours to spare, here's my goal met.
For February I think I'll shoot for some 6mm Napoleonics.

Re: A Monthly Goals Thread
Managed 4 out of 5 buildings, and no factory at all. I did paint a batfink goblin necromancer, mind you.

Here's my goal for February. Because of the Epic thing, I'm not going to Joshin this month, so I'll just say by the 28th: 6 bases of line infantry for my 6mm Napoleonics, and 1 commander base, for a cool 147 little mans.
