Buying is hobby progress... right?

Yes! It must be! Because that's my hobby progress for the moment. I've added a droppod, thunderfire cannon, Land Raider,..... battleforce.... and megaforce. Each step just gets bigger and more complicated.

Once I get all of this done I could field a tactical company and a small portion of the 1st company along with plenty of dreadnaughts. I've also increased my bitz range with a random bag of bitz from ebay. Some nice stuff in the bag, old stuff I make use of and some.. terrain perhaps. I can always melt the remainder in to mishapen plastic lumps

I've added everything to my Kanban board which is turning in to a Kanban monster.


If you need something to get yourself organised I recommend setting up a kanban board for hobby progress. I've started using https://kanbanflow.com/ after hearing The IC podcast talking about it. I haven't made much hobby progress, for other reasons, but at least now when I sit down I can just load up the page and pick something to work on based on the time I have available and move it one step closer to Fin.

This will be the last of my purchasing for quite awhile. If you can tell from the board picture above I have quite a backlog to get through.

Hobby commitment for October!

I keep starting projects but seldom finish, this changes with this month.

As part of a hobby challenge with another (http://lordscrambles.blogspot.ie/) I'm setting goals each month to start and finish a unit in my expansive Crimson Fists army.

I realise I have posts about previous projects and they will tie in a little to this one. The March of my Elites and Techmaine workshop posts will feature here and this first goal is a good example.

Hobby Commitment for October:

1 Razorback - Twin Linked Las
1 Squad of plastic Sternguard (5 marines)

No movement on the Razorback yet, that will require a few hours to smooth out the gaps and see what parts need repainting.

The Sternguard are from the new kit released recently by GW. I've assembled the torso/backpack/legs before I realised I wanted to use the heavy flamer, oops! I'll just make another marine up for it and throw some bling on to make him look more like a veteran at a later stage!

I'm aiming to have both units assembled/repaired and have the primary colour applied to them by the end of next week.

This will be an elite+transport added to the army, next month I plan to chose from the Heavy Support section.
