1. Do you have a successful, tried and true, plan or approach to tackle hobby projects? If so, how do you go about it?

My only tried and true method is to be painting for an event. If so I am as efficient as anyone. Otherwise.. we’ll see my recent hobby progress.

2. Props in gaming – do you use any bolt-on game hacks like customised or scratch-made turn counters, objective markers, condition markers, tokens, deployment points, dice towers, or visual aids? If so please post pics and info on how you use them and how they assist in gaming

Obviously I use dice to mark things, I have Koumpounophobia so I can’t use glass beads. I do like to pick up spin dials and I have the kill team one. I would use a dice tower if I had one.

3. What part of hobby gives you the biggest uplift? I.e., does playing a game give you the endorphin hit or are you happier building and painting? Any elements of the hobby that you don’t enjoy or that feel like a grind or a chore

I like list construction the best, finding that niche I can surprise people with. The more my opponent cursed when they saw what I was up to the better. In fact there is a 40k event coming up soon and I can feel the juices flowing.

I don’t enjoy the building part of our hobby, especially for anything that isn’t like gw plastic. If I can find someone to assemble things for me then I’m happy.
