2013 Hobby Goals - Update

Been a bit without a blog again, due to people going back to work and general "Meh"ness of January.

Couple of things have happened in the mean time such as the release of the Dark Angels codex and models, a resurgence of Blood Bowl at the club and preparations for tournaments this year.

At the start of January I tried to outline my overall hobby plan for 2013 and what I would like to achieve in the following year, dependant on where the hobby goes for me and what GW plan to release. Here was the post in qustion: 2013 Hobby Goals

The original list was pretty optimistic as it was and also wasn't accounting for some other things I've found in the mean time, nor did it account for new releases.


I'm going to paste the original list in here and tack in the newer stuff I've thought of, or found, since writing the list... Freshly added goals will be highlighted.
