"Project Goals"?

My Pledge posts mention project goals. They're posted on the TMP on an annual basis. At the moment...

Project List 2008:
1. WFB Dogs of War:1,500 pts plus options.
2. WFB: two other armies to "minimum forcelist" (2 core, 1 other, 1 character)
3. WAB OG Rus: 1,000 pts.
4. FoW North Africa Brits "super-company".
5. A (possibly "short") platoon of Her Majesty's Star Marine Scouts with transport.
6. Two 500 pt Rezolution crews.
7. One 500 pt Dark Age band.
8. Two 500 pt Warmachine/Hordes battlegroups.
9. All Classic Battletech in the collection (which isn't much, but hey)
10. Finish (Brigade) AmRep Fleet
11. Terrain for 1-5 & 9; at least a signature piece or two.
12. Rescue the other rooms in the house from the "lead creep".

At the moment, #8 has been attained, #9 would have been if I hadn't kept buying, and #12 is largely a lost cause.
Goal #2 has actually seen a lot of scattered "progress" this year, but no single army has seen the goal reached.

The advent of a new project in July isn't helping, but it may be a done deal in the next few days, so I'm not hugely worried. That said, the purchase side of my Pledge has been blown out of the water. More on that on the 31st...

And Another...

N. Robin Crossby, creator of Harn roleplaying world and rules, died on July 24th.

The Pledge - June 2008

Not a bad month, but with a bit more slippage in the purchase goal. Painting continues to go well.

June numbers:
(Bought, sold, and primed numbers stand alone, while the progress and finished lists are mutually exclusive)

Bought (78)
-16 Battletech mechs and vehicles
-4 GW Mounted Daemonettes (metal)
-6 GW Savage Orcs
-1 GW Savage Orc Boar Boy
-5 GW plastic Gnoblars
-1 GW Ogryn Bonehead
-10 GW plastic Skeletons
-4 Warmachine Cryx
-11 Warmachine Mercs
-4 Hordes Trollbloods
-14 Gripping Beast "Swine"
-8 Megamini Traveller Newts

SOLD (18)

Primed (77)

Painting Progress (48)

Finished (42)
-8 GW Chaos Dwarfs
-8 Battletech
-17 GW Bretonnians
-2 Warmachine Cygnar (2 Defender Warjacks)
-6 Warmachine Cryx (6 Bile Thralls)
-1 Reaper Wereboar

This brings the YTD numbers to
Net Growth: +225
Painted: 165

225 growth/182 days = 1.236 minis per day.
165 painted/225 bought = 73.3% of growth painted.

Which is ahead of both Pledge goals (<1.5 per day, >50% painted), but slipping, at least on the purchase side…

Project progress was limited. Warmachine took another jump this month despite already passing the annual goal. The general WFB goal advanced a bit, but in a very scattered way. The Battletech project goal continues to go sideways, with expansion of the collection more than keeping up with the completed rate. Critical mass has been reached, for the most part, however.

I continue to want to put attention on the Warhammer and Dark Age goals, as well as Battletech. I suspect I will also add a bit more to the Warmachine finished collection, as there are still a couple things calling my name.
