The 2025 Goals: first quarter overview

 Time to have a look at the numbers of my goals for this year, as the first three months of the year already flew by.

Now, compared to last year, working night shifts has been a blessing for "viewing goals", especially the anime ones as I watch about a full series a week at times.

This of course leaves open time to watch regular series and movies at home with Noshi, so unlike last year, the numbers are progressing very strongly at this point.



Now, it also in a way count as such for the painting goals, being able to at least glue together all the figures while guarding the fortress at night, this makes that I don't have to spend that time assembling during the valuable little painting hours I have, and can advance on projects at a steady rate as such.

With that in mind, that I took upon me so many ambitious goals for this year, it still is a serious mountain to climb...  But I must admit, progress has been made with rigid planning, as I have a heap of deadlines in the first half of the year for tournament forces.  The main beneficiaries in the first quarter as such have been the Empire, as I am trying to get the whole 2k Escalation League readied before the summer, with the next "urgent" project being the Aeldari Combat Patrol.

So let's have a look at the numbers now then!

Beginning with the most spectacular ones, no less then 13 series have been watched out of the 20 set as a goal.  On a same note, I already saw 9 films out of 20 for the first quarter alone.  Those are pretty good numbers thanks to the new "regime".  

In a similar manner, anime's already stand at 10 anime watched out of the aimed goal of 50, and of those 3 where from the 40 anime series of Noshi that I needed to catch up with still.

On the other hand, the reading for this year hasn't really taken off yet, with 1 manga out of the aimed 30, but 5 books of the 5 planned ones means this goal has actually been reached already in the first quarter, long live night shifts!

But let's move on now to the painted numbers, which are a bit of a mixed bag so far.  

First, let's start with the projects that are currently a bit sidetracked due to tournament and league must paint goals.  The three Lord of the Rings planned armies haven't seen much attention, as these aren't a priority right at the moment.  The Lothlorien force is now at 9 points out of the projected 750, while both the Easterlings and the Rohirrim still need to be started.

In a similar manner, I haven't begun painting (or even doubting I ever will) on the Kill Team Voidscarred Corsairs, nor expanded on the Hedonites of Slaanesh who remain at their 530 / 2000 points starting point.  The same goes for the Moonstone Leshavult, while the Bolt Action Belgians are currently put aside for an Italian army, so they are now at 91 points of the aimed 500.  The Wood Elf force hasn't seen any attention either yet though.  Finally on the put aside list are the Underworlds warbands, though one will soon get decent attention.

However, the Idoneth Deepkin did get a small boost, now standing at 960 points out of 2000 aimed. But then we come to the tournament targets, with the Craftworld Eldar having 0 models painted out of the needed 19 but ready on paint row to begin them unless I lose all intrest on 40k.  In the meantime, the Empire of Man army now stands at 1070 points out of 2000 set as a goal. And in the meantime, I finished a single scenery pieces out of the 5 aimed for.


All that painting does benefit though, as I already played 2 out of the 10 planned tournaments / leagues / campaigns (winning one and ending second in the other), for a total of 18 games of the projected 50 so far.

In the final non wargame related goals, the Beer discovered total is at 26 out of 50, while I explored the culinary pleasures of 3 new frituurs so far this year.

So the goals are progressing smooth to be honest, and the wargame tallies will be shifting strongly as well in the coming quarter I think, as some projects will be finished, meaning I can start working on the other goals.
