Life Lessons and Wargaming: Motivation vs. Dedication

Hey Everyone!  Today I decided to go back to an article series I left off in December last year entitled "Life Lessons and Wargaming".  The point of this article series is to look at the little lessons we learn throughout life and how we can apply these to our Wargaming hobby.  I felt I wrapped up all the thoughts I had back in December, but as I continue to work toward my goals and see them evolve I felt it was a good time to return to the series to take a look at the concepts of Motivation and Dedication.  At first look, they can be seen as very similar, but they are very different.

Hey Everyone!  It has been great seeing all the Idoneth Deepkin reviews, deep dives, and models online lately and I have been soaking it all in as it comes out.  While I am very eager to begin these new Aelves I am sticking with my plan and wrapping up my Daughters of Khaine first.  However, I couldn't resist picking up the Battletome in order to get my feet wet in the lore.  While at my local shop I decided I needed to finally pick up the latest Dark Angels Codex as well.  While Age of Sigmar is my primary focus regarding games I really want to jump back into the Imperium I hope to finally get paint on my Primaris I bought back at the release of the latest edition of Warhammer 40,000.

Hey Everyone!  This weekend we see the first wave of another great Age of Sigmar army release and many, myself included, are very excited to get out hands on the new Idoneth Deepkin.  We are in a great time for our hobby, especially Age of Sigmar, as Games Workshop rapid release schedule has seen numerous armies coming out one right after the other.  While this keeps a healthy buzz and excitement within the community I have also seen a fair number of people who get very excited during a release only to quickly lose interest and focus as the next army begins to appear.  While this isn't anything new it does create a bit of a rollercoaster ride and today I wanted to look at how to manage your army project in some basic detail.  With a solid plan, it is easy to finish your current army project while being excited and planning out your next!

Hey Everyone!  Some exciting news this week as my wife and I have booked tickets to head over to England this Autumn!  We are still planning out the trip, but I know for sure I am attending RAW18 as well as a trip to Warhammer World the Wednesday before the event and a lot of sightseeing.  I cannot wait for this trip with my wife to see the world a bit and visit my UK friends.  However, October is a long way away and there is still a lot to do before the trip.
