Hobby Sprints - The 2024 Plan

After two quite intense months, I am going to allow a change of pace for March.  Jan and Feb were really productive gaming and writing-wise but not so much in the way of miniature painting.  So this month I am going to push on with my Necron Limorekh Dynasty.

I am at about 1165 points painted so far, so I am going to push on towards 2000.

A macro influence this month is the  ‘Spring Clean Challenge’, so I am going to let that sit and simmer while I paint my Necrons and see what inspiration strikes.  Given how long these Necrons have gone unfinished, it wouldn’t be too much of a stretch to call this a Spring Clean project, but there are older and fouler things than Necrons that dwell in the deep places of my pile of opportunity!

March was a good month.  Despite deliberately going soft on myself because I knew it would be a difficult month to achieve a stretch target, I made good progress on the Necrons.  While I was on holiday I read Tommie Soule’s book which was really educational and re-taught me how to use a paintbrush!  So I’ve enjoyed just exploring that while cracking on with some of the more mundane stages of the paint job, like making the bases brown.  Observing how my brush holds water and paint, and unloads them together has made that task more interesting.

In fact, I enjoyed it so much that in April I will carry on and aim to get to the 2000 point mark, fully painted!

March was also a good month because the project that I spent so much time on in February won its category in the Dungeonalia contest!  I was delighted with that outcome in addition to the main goal which was officially kicking off my Fallout campaign!
