Definition: When a
hobbyist has the inability to focus on a single project, but rather jumps from
one to another and not competing any.
Yeah, I have them bad.
I have three projects/tournaments at the start of next year and am
playing three different armies.
Waagh Paca-
This is an awesome tournament in the frigid wastes of
Wisconsin. I plan on playing my
O&G. In fact, I vowed to do so, so
no going back. However, army lists are
2000 rather than the normal 2,500 and I am having a tough time slimming down my
normal O&G list. One change though
is to take standard Big ‘uns rather than Savage Orc Big ‘uns. I know I am giving up a good deal of hitting
power and survivability. However, frenzy
is a big liability and I made the strategic blunder of challenging one of the
mid-wests top players for the first round.
I suspect he would make me pay for bringing frenzy troops. There are a couple of other advantages to
taking the Standard Big’uns. First I do
not have to pay the Lucky Shrunken Head tax, allowing me to spend points on
other items as well as another arcane slot.
It also allows me to take a magic banner as well. This may be very important as fitting both a
L4 and a Warboss into a 2000 point list is unlikely. I would not want to depend on a leadership 8
for a five game tournament. The problem
is I have no regular orcs painted, so will need to model and paint 30 of
them. Time to get cracking! As I settle in on the final list for this
event, I will post it.
US Masters-
I have been invited to the US Masters. The US Masters uses
the Swedish comp system and whatever army I bring will require a redesign of my
normal tournament list. I am lending my
O&G to one of my club mates, so that option is out. My first thought is Lizardmen. I have the majority of models and they are
well painted. However the list I am
contemplating needs 36 Suarus and I have only 20 as well as a couple of scar
vet heroes. More painting. I could rush my HE but I really do not want
my first tournament with this army to be the US Masters J WoC is another option but the army is a
little long in the tooth and can use some tender loving care. Not to mention I may need to paint a Demon
prince or Skull Crushers!
Lone Wolf-
My plan is that Lonewolf will be the first tournament I play
my High Elves. This is the project that
has most of my interest right now and I am excited to get them out on the
table. I have just finished assembling
the army and painting a couple of test models.
Alas I will have to set it aside until I wrap up the two previous
projects. I think this is life as a
hobbyist. The project you are most
excited about is the one on the back burner.
Well back to painting!
