Well, here's mine:
1. finish uni with a good mark. ?That'll involve doing well on my dissertation (it's already too long!  )
2. get a job with a charity when I graduate as a campaigner. ?Failing that, any job that'll pay enough to support my miniature buying habit 
3. Continue and complete my Big Paint: 1,500 point of Fire Storm Marines and 3,000 points of Epic Guard
4. ...and then decide which armies will constitute my next Big Paint, ha!!! ?It'll either be Orks or Iron Warriors in Epic, and I'm feeling very very drawn to doing a 40k LotD army... 
5. Take my newly painted armies to the Specialist Games Tournament & 40k Grand Tournament respectively!
6. Save some money for an engagement ring for my Girlfriend, by controlling my miniature habit
7. Finish my short story for the next Black Library Short Story competition... and if they don't run it in 2006, finish it and send it to them anyway!
Think that just about covers it. ?I'll probably remember more later! ?

| Quote (TuffSkull @ 20 Dec. 2005 (17:58)) | | I had planned to go to Bovington, Colours & warfare, but things didnt pan out for any of them! |
You didnt miss much at Colours - although the new (for me, anyway) venue was a huge improvement!
OK, I am desperately trying to resist the urge to copy and paste the list from last year! 
Wargame related...
1. Get the EA Tau list to an accepted and professional level, making it fun and interesting to play. Also, widen the appeal of the Tau, to get more people interest in the force in EA.
2. Finish my Epic Crucible of Champions lists and rules.
3. Get the latest draft of my Genestealer Cult army finished.
4. Focus my painting (not necessarily buying!) so that I have actual forces to play games with. These should be EA Tau, a small force of Eldar and the beginning of a Genestealer Cult, as well as many more BFG Chaos vessels painted and ready to go. Also, make a serious start on my 15mm Dacians!
5. Get much more work done on my two home-grown wargame rules projects.
6. Redesign and move this site and these boards.
Other stuff...
A. Learn a language.
B. Organise my time so that I have time to get more done.
C. Get fitter, eat healthier.
D. Move and stop renting.
E. Work smarter in my job, and spend more time doing stuff for my career and less time doing the irritating little jobs that other people try to get me to do.
F. Stop coming up with wholely unrealistic lists of things to achieve! (It seems that I have a head start on breaking that one!)
That should keep me going for a month or two at least._________________ https://www.cybershadow.ninja - A brief look into my twisted world, including wargames and beyond. https://www.net-armageddon.org - The official NetEA (Epic Armageddon) site and resource.

The Dacians sound nice - long to see pics.
And - try Maltese.

The Dacians have been sitting on the back bench for far too long. They are for Vis Bellica, which uses larger bases and seven minis to a base, so they should look really cool._________________ https://www.cybershadow.ninja - A brief look into my twisted world, including wargames and beyond. https://www.net-armageddon.org - The official NetEA (Epic Armageddon) site and resource.

Hi Guys,
I'm still thinking about the New Years resolutions I want to make for 2006, but here are the preliminary ones:
1. PROFESSIONAL:
- Get the new job I've been wanting and move on from the bad experience I had with school administrations in 2004-2005.
2. PERSONAL:
- Finish developing "Planetfall," my sci-fi rule set, and publish the game in 2006.
3. HOBBY:
- Paint lots of minis and work on gaming terrain. I really want to get my 6mm city metropolis board done.
I take my New Years resolutions seriously and I met almost everyone of the resolutions I made last year.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Stop buying models, until at least 25% of the ones I already own are done. (or around 8,000).
Finish painting my AWI Cornwallis 15mm Army.
Finish painting my 10mm Napoleonic Armies.
Play FoW lots, maybe win with crappy Russian Tank army againts anyone.
Paint my 506th Para Company for FoW.
Play Epic more.
Expand my Imperials to around 5000pts. Then Stop!!!
Buy a 4000pt Epic Tau army. Cause they look great.
Save for a new car ( on with a good transmission )
Move closer to Oakville GW store.
but most important. realize I only live once and get outside more. Maybe take 500 bucks and just go on a cool vacation around Canada, hike a bunch.
Treat those the way I want to be treated... what more can I say.

Finish the Epic Tau army. Only buy more Kroot once the current unpainted stuff is complete.
Build up the Karelian Legion AMTL army to 3000 points.
Get started on building hills and woods terrain.
Behave so as to get the wife to buy a compressor for Christmas.

Oh dear, I really think that apart from the PhD, the
work on a clear-what's-on-the-workbench policy |
should get top priority. Here's why:
