Hello,
Since we last spoke I've done an enormous amount of stuff with very little to check off these tasks. As we last left it on the blog it looked something like this
Paint Legions Imperalis Army
Print and Paint Legions Imperalis City Table
Play at least 3 games of Legions Imperalis with fully painted armies and terrain
Print and play Full Spectrum Dominance
Paint 2 Complete Factions For Crisis Protocol and play at least 3 games
Paint 2 Complete Forces for Shatterpoint and play at least 3 games
Play Don't Look Back
Finish Boarding Action Table
Play Country Road Z
Play Spectre (or another modern style game)
Try Dead by Lead
Try Hobgoblin
Finish at least 2 Cabinet Pieces
Play Test of Honor at least 3 games
Play Firefight with Veermyn Army
End the year with a sub 200 score
Since this original posting I've tweaked some things. First of all, I'm going to get rid of two of these goals. Full Spectrum Dominance (which i have yet to invest more than purchasing stls into) and Dead by Lead (which occupies the same real estate as a few other things on the list) are both gone.
I've obviously added a few goals as well.

Paint 1k Points of Word Bearers for Horus Heresy
Play Horus Heresy
Finish a 2k list for Old World and try the rules
Try Kill Team
Play a Fantasy Skirmish Game
Try Guildball
Play This is not a Test
Some of these are fairly obvious to most but I wanted to add a hair of context. I always wanted to try guild ball and went as far as to get the kickoff set and a few others but when SFG shitcanned the game I lost interest and punted (ha) it on at a flea market. Since then they've relaunched the game and have released Kickoff as a free stl and print copy. I've printed the two teams and some accessories and am almost done with one of them. I have a game vaguely scheduled for 2 weeks from now so this should be a slam dunk. I made it a goal because it seems like a nice easy win and it will prevent me from painting 11/12 figures and then never trying the game.
Horus Heresy has been on my own list since the launch of Age of Darkness. I've been reading the novels and Pauls been talking the game up. We played a Zone Mortalis style game of One Page Rules today and I used all painted stuff and am actually getting reasonably close to 1k already. I'm pretty excited for this one.
I dug all of my fantasy stuff out of my moms house and brought it home to pour through. I'm fairly confident I have more than 2k of dwarves and am probably pretty close on Tomb Kings. Enough to get started at least. I figure these figures should double for Hobgoblin later.
I want to try either Song of Blades or Thud and Blunder this year just because. I also just picked up something called Torch and Shield but more on that another time. This is not a test has always ranked on my "i want to play this game" radar and this year I may have another friend interested in playing.
Finally how is the current stuff coming?
I have a little over 1.5k of both Solar Aux and Imperial Fists done for Legions Imp. The Boarding action table is totally printed, magnetized and test paints are done. We used the terrain today and I'm super happy with how it came out.
I played don't look back today as well but forgot to grab pictures. I was a little underwhelmed but am going to give it a few more goes. The first edition was a lot of fun but I think some bad luck made the wrong rolls happen too soon which led to a lackluster game.
To wrap, heres a few photos of the heresy stuff.
