Great thread!

1) finish up basing and painting my dwarves, humans and norse... Very nearly done is not done enough!
2) revisit converting my dark elves - not enough variety in the figs
3) convert and complete a new team every quarter... That's Pro Elf, Amazons, Undead and Skaven by christmas, taking me to 8/24 teams
4) join a TT league or tourney in a new country
5) get a new player involved in BB
6) build or have built a traveller-style display case!

Been away from the game for a bit, this seems a good place to jump back in.

I'm going to buck the trend and pledge to get back on with some sculpting;

1) my converted 2nd ed undead team (inital pics in another thread)
2) sculpt Reroll marker

Just got back in the game after a few years of ignorance...

1. Convert and paint my Ogres Team Snotland Rock-its
2. Start a proper League in Uppsala, Sweden
3. Convert and paint a new set of Dark Elves (my current set is inherited) for my Dark Elves team Karond Kar Underdogs
4. Think of a proper name for the Norse team
5. Convert and paint a Norse team
6. Try to get a tournament scheduled in Uppsala, maybe even help arrange
7. Strip and repaint my old Orcs team
8. Paint a Goblins team

To be honest I'd be happy to manage up to 4 or 5, the rest would be a great bonus for 2012, BloodBowl-wise.

I keep a progress log for my conversion and painting projects on Warseer: http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthrea ... ther-BBLog

Buggrit, your gobbo conversions are awesome. I really wanna do something like that myself. But then I would have hundreds of gobbos for each super hero and variation. May try it with underworld some day, mutations as powers, metamorpho the goblin the turns into gas to sidestep punches, blue beetle the goblin that took very long legs and leap to try and fly, beastboy the skaven blitzer ( green skaven :lol:), martian goblinhunter the shape changing dauntless goblin, Mogo the troll planet. I dunno if I would have the effort but I really admire yours :)

1. Finish painting 2nd ed skaven for my underworld team
2. Finish painting Wood Elf team for a friend
3. Finish painting zombies for my friend's necro team
4. Save up enough to purchase the rest of my Chaos Dwarf team from Greebo, then paint them too.

Ambitious given my schedule, but with some work and sacraficing less important stuff (bah, studying!) I can maybe pull it off!

Paint/finish my Undead team.
'Fix' my Dark Elves.
Finish my (2nd) Chaos Pact team.
Finish (2 minis I believe) my Goblins.
Build and paint my Underworld team.
Finish my Skaven team.

If time permits: finally finish my 2 Guardians of the Covenant-squads, their rhino, 1 dread, and finish my Angels of Redemtion (some temies and assault marines). Then lock them all in a box (next to my Necrons) and forget about them till my son want to try 'that' game.

1. Snakeman team - one painted model and 4 converted isn't playable. Lets get these up to 11
2. Chaos Dwarf team - a full team converted, 6 painted players. I only need 5 more to get these guys on the pitch!
3. Ogre team - I really enjoyed painting my ogre for the Big Guy Dec painting challenge. A team would look cool.
Embarrassingly I haven't achieved ANY of those goals I set myself. On the plus side, I did make a Necromantic team and have nearly finished a Skaven team this year!
