I'm not sure if anyone else does this, but I try to make a list of things that I "resolve" will improve in the coming year.
40k is no different.
So my Warhammer Resolutions for 2013 are:
1. Actually read the big rulebook cover to cover, not skim, but really read.
2. Try not to wince when GK's or Necrons are brought out to face you.
3. Give everyone a second chance (including Mat Ward)
4. Buy no more models than I can immediately build and paint
5. But no more models UNTIL I have finished the aforementioned building/painting
6. Do not buy models solely based on the concept that I could possibly make it into an awesome Looted Vehicle (this does not happen)
7. Do not try to convince Newbies that 5th edition was better, and try not to get into long-winded conversations about old fluff (especially on GKs and Necrons)
8. Get a second, healthier hobby (yes, I know, it's possible...)
9. Write Batreps only when the quality is good, not when you're feeling desperate.
10. Do not name any pets or work projects after 40k characters.
What are yours?
Best,
-BT
1. Finish the model I have before buying anymore.
2. Make my army legal before buying any more Heavy Support or Fast Attack stuff.
3. Be ready for my gaming clubs tournament in 4 months.
4. DEFINATLY name a pet after a 40k character.
Oh and 5. Participate more on Secondsphere to try and get traffic up.
Finish all my projects for painting. That'll last me until summer, if I work hard at it.
1. Get a model finished to your satisfaction (lost cause, that one, but I will again be trying to improve enough to meet my own ridiculous standards)
2. Improve as a writer, you're still not as awesome as Dan Abnett (got to have impossible to achieve standards, right?)
3. Manage an attention span long enough to actually make one of your piles of armies (Cata, INQ (2 x), Alpha, SW, Ultrawolf (and 3 other home-made chapters), EC, BL) into something you could actually play and reasonably win with
4. Get out there and play with strangers, rather than hiding from all the 'big bad OP meanies spamming your Cata/SM to ruined shells without being charming about it'
5. Stop buying stuff you don't need, period. No matter that its cool. You don't NEED it.
6. Give people time to get back to you about your fiction/art/modelling/whatever. Stop holding your breath. Stop getting down when The Void yawns its terror inspiring silence at you once again. :/
7. Definitely help 2nd Sphere get more traffic! - and make it to 1.000 posts-made before 2014! :P
Hrm, that's about it I think.
I did already name my pet (rabbit) after a W40k character, namely the Emperor (but I shout Ceasar for short when I am angry, because 'Emperor' just doesn't mouth well in that regard). He has a golden pillow he likes to lay on. And he's got an ego five times the size of his tiny rabbit body...
1. Get my 2k Dark Eldar list fully WYSIWYG.
2. Get an actual case for my Dark Eldar instead of using a vehicle box.
3. Find a way to make my Dark Eldar viable again.
4. Complete my Tyranid house rules.
5. Get my Tyranids WYSIWYG (according to aforementioned house rules)
6. Get a case for my Tyranids.
7. Write up some fluff for my Marines (been meaning to do it since 4th ed)
1. Make my imperial guard and eldar corsairs more than just my Tau's allies
2. Stop cowering back to 5th edition
3. Beat 2,000 point necron flyer spam
4. See if the local area can have a tournament without imperial armour units.
5. Stop buying what I will never need.
Shock horror, I've got one!
1. Start playing 40k again
2. Start a new army project and move back towards army painting from single miniatures. Hopefully a project log coming soon on this!
1. Wait till the updated codex is out before buying more models. An example of this is when I got guard and the old codex before guard got updated two months later. I'm glad I didn't get those forge world heads and jump packs.
2. Finish painting and modeling the army I am using, before I start another one.
3. Finish painting and converting sisters.
4. Finish all conversion projects.
5. Finish selling my nids still in boxes. If counting boxes at one point I had 300 plus combined homogaunts and spine gaunts. Realizing now I have tooo many.
6. Replinish my nid army that was stolen
7. Get back all my daemons.
8. Get my Eldar army back.
9. Get the new tau models to update my forge world O'Shova. Waiting on new book before I start buying anymore Tau.
10. Get the new Chaos book and the new dark angels book.
11. Get the new Black Templars book when it comes out. Never had the old one.
12. Hate Matt Ward until my Sisters are fixed. I should say hate him even more than I do now.
13. Figure out what to do with my Mardi Gras list since 5.5 destroyed it and 6th don't allow all that I had. I am thinking of using Guard and Sisters instead of Grey Knights and Sisters. Although I think I may paint my Grey Knights and Guard with the same thyme as my sisters and just rotate them out.
14. Track down and replace my Fateweavers heads since my gf threw them away.
15. Get the top part of land raider I lost.
16. Get Forgeworld flying hive tyrant again.

I actually like 6th better. I am still trying to figure out if I like this as much as I did 3rd.
I stil don't like true line of sight.
1. Finish making a competative army for 6th so I can take it to tournaments rather than taking a mish-mash of painted models I have and what I can borrow from people.
2. Figure out how to deal with Necron Barge/Wraith/Scythe spam.
1. Finish building my DIY Black Templar Crusade, preferably before the WhiteDex comes out.
2. Update Crusade to fit BT Whitedex.
3. Finish writing up my Gue'Nam Wing and Black Templar 4.9 Fandexes.
4. Start building Ally based on Gue'Nam Wing Fandex and using them as Radical Xenos Hunter units in Tau gear for those who won't face the Fandex.
Not all in that order.
1) Paint and then build the IG battleforce I've had sitting around since the summer.
2) Make proper use of the membership I bought for my local gaming club, namely go down there on a weekend and actually battle people.
3) Make battle reports for the battles in resolution 2).
4) Compete in a tournament and don't come last (unlike the last one, maybe I won't bring Tau next time).
5) Maintain focus on existing armies, don't give in and start something new just because I've created a cool army list (even if it is just 400pts of Wood Elves).
1. Create the Warbands for 2 of my Black Crusade RPG Group
2. Actually have a fully painted 40K army, either my Iron Wolves (DIY SM Chapter using Space Wolves Codex) or Chaos Undivided (Still deciding between Black Legion and Word Bearers)
1) Acquire the rulebook for 6th edition, either the hardcover or DV miniature copy.
2) At least start a grey knights terminator army
3) Make more of an effort to go to my local GWS and do some gaming

It's more with quick 1,000 point games where know one wants to get the rules out to refer to the 6 million special rules because a flying monstrous creature did a thing. It's quicker just to go back to the more streamlined game mechanic.

I'm getting used to it. We have been avoiding the random terrain till we get everything else down pat. The bikes always having cover saves I over looked and a few minor things like oh that does that now. Reverting back to the old edition just confusses you more. I just brain dumped 5th and jumped into 6th. Area terrain is a bit better for Monsterous creatures now for example.
Quote4. Get out there and play with strangers
Sounds bad out of context? :P
1. Find time to paint something! I miss painting
2. Sculpt at least 5 minis this year
3. Work towards completing my Tyranid Ripper/Zoanthrope army and learn to play some games again!

1) Play more. I'm haven't played a game against anyone for a couple of months.
2) Finish my kill team house rules.
3) Play a real life game using my house rules against another person, rather than playing against myself.
4) Start an Eldar army. Possibly Harlequin themed.
5) Get my girlfriend to start collecting/gaming. She's already started painting my models for me (since we discovered she's a better painter than me).
6) Make a 40k resolution Done! I'm winning!

You should let some DA and GK or SW images 'accidentally' wander around the house, worked for me it did. Hehe. ;)
I only have two 40K resolutions, one of which I will achieve, and the other I probably won't:
1. To continue not to paint any figures.
2. To play more games.
Oh I want to add one more!
Updated:
1. Play more games
2. Start a new army and project log (probably Grey Knights)
3. Start writing some fluff.

[SNIP]
3. Start writing some fluff.
The fiction and fluff section definitely needs more love, it's so quiet on there! :(
Okay, so here goes:
1. Keep moving forward with my Blood Angels, with a view to pushing them out to around 2500pts so I have lots of choices for 1500/1750/1850 tournament and friendly lists.
2. Only buy minis or kits for my two existing armies- DA and BA, and only when all pre-existing minis are finished and in their display case.
3. Tackle more challenging or different minis that I haven't painted up before, even something from Fantasy? Ie move out of my comfort zone a bit. Test out different techniques or colour combos.
4. Get as many friendlies in as tournament games, or even more.
5. Play a bigger Apoc game than our last one (8 people, 40,000pts, in my garage). I think we were looking at something like 60-70K with all our new armies?
6. As others have said, re-read the rules until I know them back to front- essentially, flush 5th ed out.
7. Come onto 2S a bit more often, and post in places other than the Hobby Logs and Competition sections... yeah, that seems to be what I do.
7. Iron Discipline- in painting and refraining from purchases.... paint paint paint, stay off eBay, out of GW, etc etc. Refer to resolution #2.
8. Embrace the new DA code with open arms, see whats new, and enjoy what this latest incarnation is.
9. Bring my smiles and enthusiasm for my fun opponents, and my nastiest A Game for all the regular WAAC tourney players.... crack skulls, with a smile! I can get a bit non commital/quiet if things are tense or if im not doing well.
10. Bring the all embracing love and guidance of the immortal God Emperor to the farthest reaches of the stars....

Bah, it's holidays again...
...the next religious folks (of any flavour) come to my door trying to 'convert' me the coming days; I am going to go stone-faced on and talk about the Immortal God-Emperor as if I mean every word of it. In fact, maybe I should have it taped... could be fun. Hehe.
'Ere we go...
- Play an Apocalypse game of at least 10,000 points per side but not in a GW store.
- Bring my IG army up to 4000 fully painted points.
- Complete a minimum of one full Imperial Guard company (tank, superheavy, artillery or infantry).
- Only add miniatures to my Ork army or Imperial Armies.
- Create at least a 6'x4' board for gaming on.
- Photograph all of my miniatures for 2S.
- More work on 2S in general... some TLC might be needed...

7a. Fix the spoiler tags ;D
It's a resolution I had already been working on, but I intend to continue on it in the new year. It is my goal for the coming year (and years to come) to make the absolute most out of the hobby and strive for excellence in all its facets.
I will delve deeper into the back stories of my armies.
I will make the most of the models that I own by performing extensive conversions on them using epoxy.
I will learn and master new painting techniques, and improve the look of my army.
I will play more games and become a better tactician for it.
My 40k Resolution:
1) Try not to annihilate anyone that is not IG within 2-3 rounds.
2) Try to get myself to actually be less frustrated when I discover that I am actually bulldozing people and wanting to play longer.
3) Seriously I need to take five from 40k for a while, as I realized that the only opposing army that actually give me the kicks these days is IG. That in itself is very masochistic and I need to see people play with different armies that actually do pose a challenge to me.
4) I need to really print out every darn FAQ ever, as some people do believe that their stuff have things that they do not have. Also it helps me in getting my Reavers randomization right.
5) Need to spend those time that I tend to use for 40k planning and stuff to practice other things. Right now those time are as barren as a desert and is spent procrastinating.
You need to find a more competative environment Vyper, as you've pointed out its never fun just winning games easily.
Its not that hard to find, I didnt know that for years there was a seriously competative gaming club in my next town with some of the very best players in the country who are top 20 and regularly go the ETC.
In the UK 'The Warhammer Forum' is the hub for finding out about all the big tournaments. Im sure there is something like that for wherever you are.
Your in the US at the min right? try and find out were who represents the US in the ETC and see where they are based, theres a chance that one of them may be near you and usually when you get a top player they have a top club.

I agree that I need a much more competitive environment, but one that is healthy too. :-\
Sadly enough for me, they are just too far away for me and even then they tend to not have the right mentality for the game. I have tried a few visits to two stores that are perhaps the more competitive, but the players felt like they are just a bunch of bandwagoners than true gamers. Whenever I just put out my army, most of them literally just whine their little hearts out because most of them either;
A) They do not know the match-up (which is perhaps the most important thing in any game)
B) My army negates their advantages
I got turned off immediately from their attitudes. Of course there are some very good players that are nice and stuff, but they come and go. Of course, if I find an IG player I will play them as they are the only army that truly pushes me these days. It is a sad form of ennui for me. :facepalm001:
So these days I tend to prefer tournaments here, as they tend to draw the other players around town to play. But of course, American tournaments are never truly set in stone for the rules and sometimes they make some very bizzarre rules that actually penalize some armies and boost others, which means that it is not a true test of skills and instead being more like luck most of the time. Winning in such a tournament never really make me feel like I have won at all.
Lastly, real-life responsibilities and travelling distance means that making a 40k trip is a 50-50 thing for me, as I do not get a 'true' opponent at times. That's why I actually jumped ship to Super Street Fighter 4 Arcade Edition 2012 for my more competitive needs. :'(
I wish I was back in Malaysia where the players are so much more harder and friendlier.
P.S: I could always play as a Marine, but then.......I tried them a few times before with friends that have components with what I want, and I never find true excitement with the playstyle as it is hella boring, no matter what kind of Marine I am.
Ive found that most of the top players, at least in the UK are very friendly and great to play against. They dont complain or get angry about things in the game which is nice.
Im not sure on the US scene as they dont tend to finish well at the ETC [Euro Team Championships, even though every country is welcome]. But im sure their team has the same attitude, ive played guys from the Welsh, Scottish and English teams and they have all been very good players but with the right attitude, I think with it being a team thing, people with a bad attitude just dont get selected because the team has to put up with it. Although as you said, its travelling if none of them are based near you.
I could find out were each of them are based for you if youd like? The international ranking platform has links and things like that for most of the teams who enter and details about the players in the teams. You deffo wont have any silliness with them whining/not knowing the match up/not being able to deal with different armies when you find the right players.

It's okay, I believe that I can find a way around it in time. My dillemma is a very interesting one as distance is killer on my budget especially now that I do not have my own car and I am living alone on my own cash in the US. This is what happens when you always go to a store, and then when that store closes down you switched to a new store. :'(
The previous store that I went to is much more my cup of tea as the players are both fun and strong while the new one is somewhat of a mixed boat of people. I will always play with the stronger players whenever possible but when they are not in the store for the day, I could not do much but to kill the seals/newbies and the noobs for wanting of a better terminology for the type of players that I am forced to play with.
For example, I am kinda sick and tired of telling noob Marine players that they do not get Flakk Missile unless their FAQ or codex say that they do. Seriously just really tired of Marine players not believing that they do not get everything on their lap for once. :facepalm001:
But that saying, I still tend to have a high rate of success against Marine players as a result of my army being good at killing them and Xenos armies. IG is the only hard counter for me . :P
Maybe consider playing a race which are more of a challenge to play?
Some of the more underpowered books might give you more of a challenge against these players whilst still challenging you? Or pick deliberately rubbish lists and try and win with them despite it?

Sounds like a plan to me! Go with something superduper fluffy - that always appears to be a sound way of twisting yourself out a tactical arm and leg with most armies. :P

Funnily enough, I am playing what is perhaps the most challenging race to play in 40k: Dark Eldar. My previous armies includes Orks, Daemons, Tau, Chaos Space Marines and SOB. All my armies are of intermediate to highly difficult armies to play and I can say that my time with such armies made me feel that playing a Marine army as unnaturally dull and easy. My current Dark Eldar list has been toned down by half at least now, with me including Reavers rather than bikers just to let my opponent have some infantry guns to be able to kill something from my army. Not to mention that I am following an entirely fluffy army build that is also quite competitive enough.
Please do tell me if there are any armies harder than all the armies I have mentioned and I might jump on it.
Vanilla SM are very hard to do really well with against top lists these days. DE took a big boost in the game going towards infantry heavy as nobody shoots infantry down better than DE, plus with pre measuring night shields makes some of your skimmers almost impossible to shoot at for some enemy units whilst you shoot them with impunity.

I feel like Tau had a slightly tougher time than Vanilla SM, but that is just me though. Maybe I will have to jump ship to the new Dark Angels or something and suck in the cheese....:P
Was it the WD SoB codex you were using? Supposedly that's pretty bad, and yeah Tau, though I think they've gone up a bit in 6th and I didn't do too badly with them before.
I think DE are pretty damn good if you're a good player, maybe hard to play, but devastating when you can play them.
As others have said it must be hard in the US where the distances are much bigger, I whine about only having 2 GW's and 3 gaming clubs within a 20 min car journey. :P
My 40k resolution is simple. Finish my damn Chaos Marines! I've thought about it and managed to break it down into a few simple steps for myself to follow:
- Decide how to equip my Terminators. Seriously, they've been on the sprue for 6 months because of my indecision and it's costing me games!
- Paint the tanks. There's not many of them and it will clear a lot of room off my workbench!
- Base the stuff I've finished so they can go in the display cabinet!
- Paint one unit at a time. I get overenthusiastic and take on too much at once. Bad Dan!
After that I have my Fiancee's dark elves, my lizardmen and my brother's wood elves to work on. And Necrons. And Dreadfleet. And Heroquest. And Space Marines.... Crap!
To be fair I find marine armies the easiest to beat. Especally vanilla marines. I run 80 through 100 models with most my armies besides daemons. 60 is the very very mininmum I wil field. I find that the more you field the more mistakes you can get away with. The less models you field the less forgiving your mistakes are. I fought all terminator armies and found they are the easiest to beat. I run into problems aginst 150 or more models.
A standard marine is not scarry if you dosing them with 10 or more wounds. If your opponent is rolling below average it realy hurts them, while with models who couldn't save anyway it doesn't matter that you roll good.
That is the major differance with super elite armies and swarm armies. Elite armies have to play and roll good, while swarm just have to play good and can afford to roll poor all game long.
Well I need to dress up this year for Halloween and may try to pull off a Cortez outfit. All I have to do is find gold plated chain mail armor, fur, an a cool hammer.

Eeyup. Played it once back in Malaysia and even though I won, but I feel that the SoB lost their edge. Tau need their new book for sure, as I felt that the only saving graces that the book have this moment is essentially their railgun.
As for your whining......*looking at Jonagon with lots of jealousy and sadness* :P

- Decide how to equip my Terminators. Seriously, they've been on the sprue for 6 months because of my indecision and it's costing me games!
- Paint the tanks. There's not many of them and it will clear a lot of room off my workbench!
- Base the stuff I've finished so they can go in the display cabinet!
- Paint one unit at a time. I get overenthusiastic and take on too much at once. Bad Dan!
Sounds like a good plan!
That never works for me... *looks from her Ultrawolves to her Alpha Legionnaires to her Catachan to her Inquisition Army/s....* :facepalm001:
It's okay Linn, you should see my basement, it's just wall to wall with my failed attempts at sticking to one thing until it was finished...
Tau, Grey Knights, Black Templar, Daemons, Chaos Space Marines, Dark Eldar, Eldar, Nids, Skaven, Dark Elves, Tomb Kings, Lizardmen, Wood Elves, Mechanicus BFG, Dark Eldar BFG, Eldar BFG, LOTR Elves... I've finally settled into my hobby for the time being though, custom converted Dark Elves, and as competitive as I can get them Tau.
Well, for what its worth, the rest doesn't much attract me so between the different Imperial forces I am pretty much solid. Ehhh... so much to do, so little time!
I suppose my resolution, as it is every year, is to actually paint all my crap. :P
I have scores of unpainted and partially painted models in my hobby desk.
I'll continue the rather dull theme and just say I really have to get stuff painted. Plus get more games in. Can't go back to the days where I could go round a mate's house every day but I could make more of an effort to actually send people messages or arrange things in advance...
1) Finish painting Dark Vengeance.
2) Finish painting my Sanguinary Guard and get them to 2k pts.
3) Play some games whilst at Uni.
4) Buy new, decent quality brushes.
5) Finish the Ork Dakkajet.
6) Find a way to take pictures of the stuff I'm painting whilst at Uni.
Sounds about right for me. :P
