Goatboy right here engaged on a bunch or Warhammer 40K initiatives to take to to the brand new yr. Be a part of me with these Grimdark plans.
Goatboy right here and I feel I bought yet one more occasion in me earlier than I finish my “2024 season” of 40K match video games.
Hitting a Lot of Occasions
This final yr I went to extra occasions than I’ve in a very long time. I used to be in a position to go to much more tournaments this yr as a result of my youngsters are getting older, my life getting a bit simpler, and I’ve entry to plenty of occasions shut sufficient to drive too. All these assist out rather a lot and let me really play one thing like 7 occasions this yr!
For these questioning – if you wish to get good on the sport – past simply taking part in the very best military you need to play rather a lot. You also needs to attempt to play the identical listing rather a lot too. All this stuff are simply methods to get the repetition and allow you to not need to cease and suppose too laborious throughout a time sport. It’s simply the key sauce in all of this tabletop stuff is simply having numerous reps taking part in a sport in opposition to respectable individuals.
Additionally for individuals who are about to get into fatherhood or trying in direction of it simply know that you’re going to get worse at this sport. There isn’t any technique to make investments the time to essentially play troopers and that’s okay too. Heck one of many causes I attempt to go to occasions is simply to get an opportunity to place myself into the sport bubble, not fear a lot about life, and interact with a bunch of individuals attempting to do the identical factor. However this isn’t an article about that again to the precise Monday ideas.
Working towards With Your Present Military (World Eaters for Me)
The Finish of the Season means one final experience with my World Eaters. I feel for that final occasion I ought to carry again Angron and see what he can do. All of the occasions I performed with out Angron was plenty of enjoyable however I by no means fought in opposition to one other World Eater participant. I hoped to get matched up, wreck their Angron, and simply roll round because the Superior World Eater. We’ll see if the final occasion lets me attempt my hand out at beating up another World Eaters.
Planning Your 2025 Military (Blood Angels for Me)
Its additionally the timeframe to start out determining if I need to do one thing else military sensible for the subsequent yr. My first occasion of the yr is normally LVO and this yr ought to have me attempt to get my new fancy Blood Angels working. I’m virtually finished with the preliminary listing thought paint/construct however I’m feeling like I must shift issues a bit already. I need to get it finished, painted, and begin testing in hopes to search out one thing distinctive sufficient to fulfill my need for a special listing.
I additionally need to construct a greater show board too however will simply have to attend on that. I discovered a mini coffin show tray that ought to work and I feel I’ll get to slopping on glue, sand, and different b its of terrain to create one thing space-vampire-y. As soon as I get that finished I’ll write up somewhat factor about it as that’s at all times an attention-grabbing facet of this sport and the way we are able to create one thing enjoyable and distinctive to point out off our interest.
Making it Via the This autumn Lull
This 40K 2024 This autumn lull has me looking out round for inspiration. I do know the brand new Xmas Containers don’t curiosity me a ton. There actually isn’t something tremendous Chaos like within the listing of them and whereas I wait to see what subsequent brings for military books it feels a bit dry on the initiative entrance of issues. I preserve excited about doing an entire collection of “creating” Chaos Lords for the completely different factions with drawing, constructing, and portray as an entire combo of nonsense.
I nonetheless take into consideration doing a 40K comedian once more with a dumb concept that always floats to the highest. It’s a bizarre finish of the yr too as we don’t have a ton to speak about as we look forward to the vacation season to start out, the meals to get cooking, and hopefully discovering one thing enjoyable below a tree, in your native shops wall, or in a field that bought kicked round by a supply staff.
What are you eager to work on as the vacations method? Or is it only a sit, wait, and hope your military will get a great replace and never a lackluster shuffle?
