mattspooner Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 All, Like most gamers, I buy faster than I can paint. Much faster. I mean, minis before food! As such, I have decided that 2014 will be the Year of the Pledge for me. Simply put, I'll keep track of both purchases and painting here to manage the ratio and endeavour to get stuff out of the leadpile and on to the table. If anyone wants to join, reply below and I'll maintain the original post as a group record. You should be honest! Secret buying is just another form of denial of your problem!

Bacms Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 Sounds good I will join as well. The model tracker from Mako might be useful here http://www.wyrd-games.net/showthread.php?38630-Malifaux-ModelTracker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DireTrollJake Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 I pledge to not buy new things 'til I paint what I have. Now, to decide on a faction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbb Posted December 16, 2013 Report Share Posted December 16, 2013 I'm trying to get a better handle on things myself, so I have the following tracking sheet I've been working on maintaining. Green means fully painted Orange means it is at least playable Red means unassembled Purple means I know I have it, I just can't find it :facepalm: As you can see I have a long way to go, but I'm hoping to start making better progress in 2014.

ninjahamster Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Hahaha, tried this last year, failed miserably, mostly due to starting 3 new systems :s :s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierowmaniac Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 Positive mental attitude will win....although may I suggest making the goal a little bit easier Plus im also enforcing my own rule of not playing with any unpainted models, which helps loads with the motivation. Im currently at 75% painted and over the next year hope to increase that to 80% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ehren37 Posted December 17, 2013 Report Share Posted December 17, 2013 I blame Miniature Market and Troll and Toad with their 50% off sales for skewing my ratio (of Malifaux at least) to its current dreadful state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatDarnSatan Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 I like assembling miniatures as much as I like painting and playing with them, so don't have any particular worry about owning more than I'm making use of on the table. I am a little sick of lugging around all this Warhammer stuff though, so my pledge for the first months of 2014 is to expunge without mercy anything from GW that isn't painted or part of a mostly-painted unit. If I really want to play Fantasy again, I can always buy new stuff. Painting-wise, I pledge to finish the models I want to take to Adepticon. I have very little Malifaux painted so it'll be a bit of a scramble. Fortunately the new plastics are so pretty that my hobby in January will be a pleasure. I'll start a painting blog soon to create that tiny bit of accountability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should start my own, if only as a way of documenting some progress. Then again, that was my goal last year. My resolution was to have all of my Wyrd models painted by Gencon...Which I completely gave up on, despite a decent start on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aka_hazard Posted December 31, 2013 Report Share Posted December 31, 2013 Ok, I'll join in on this. I have 171 painted and 64 needing paint - this may increase as I have a potential trade in progress. I have a couple of Dreadball MVPs and an Infinity crew to finish first but then the focus will be on completing all of my outstanding Malifaux minis.
