So I've decided to sort of sum up what miniatures I'll be working on in 2020 (not including new stuff that may take my fancy). I'll give a brief run down on each group to help better categorize them.
Warcry:
So my current focus is mixed between three warbands: Skaven, Untamed Beasts and Disciples of Tzeentch (Daemons). I do plan on going back and looking at adding the Gloomspite Gitz and Nighthaunt updated warbands (with expanding options for Nighthaunt), plus looking into Ogors with a Chaos theme, Daughters of Khaine and Khorne Daemons. Not sure about other options, but we'll see what other warbands appeal to me before adding. Am looking at more scenery though, perhaps those starter set packs as I only have the Graveyard board and scenery and would like a few things with height.
For Skaven I have to re-base a few more Clanrats and Stormvermin to have the more hoard-like option, while working on three Stormfiends to have as alternative heavy hitters (plus I can then add them to my Skaven force.
Untamed Beasts just need painting and am already working on a Chaos Sorcerer and have a finished Spawn to use. I'll probably add more beast thralls and maybe a Mindstealer Sphiranx as the groups monster option.
Finally, I'll dust off and paint up those Daemons of Tzeentch and give them a proper go. They all need to be painted, so this one will probably take longer to paint, but will be filled before the Untamed Beasts get their full options.
Age of Sigmar:
Well apart from a few re-basings and the painting of the Stormfiends, the Skaven of the Claw of Skith are ready to go, though perhaps I should look at Endless Spells and those Gnawholes to really complete them.
Gloomspite Gitz still need some work, partly on the Endless Spell conversion and the other being on what option to field them as. A mixture of Gitz and Squigs is fine if Glibbins is involved, though a part of me really wants to run a Squigalanche type group. Would need a Mangler Squig of course, but more Squigs was never a bad thing.
Death is more of a mixed beast at the moment and has sort of frozen still. I do have models to work on like Fell Bats and Black Knights, but apart from a few Skellies and a Terrorgheist, not sure what I could add to feel it could work.
Cities of Sigmar has the 1,000pts needed to play, but needs to be painted up. Still looking as to what I could add to get it to 2,000pts without spending too much more money on this one.
This brings me to a venture that has been long in the making, but slow to start. My Tzeentch faction. Wanting it to be a mixture of Tzeentch units from both Disciples of Tzeentch and Slaves to Darkness, this one will be focused on magic and mutation. I have various Chaos Heroes like Heralds, Chaos Sorcerers, Chaos Lords etc, while unit wise I have a basic unit of 10 Chaos Warriors, 10 Pink Horrors (with the split option of up to 10 Blue Horrors and 10 Brimstone Horrors), 3 Screamers, 3 Flamers, 3 Tzaangor Enlightened on Discs and 1 Chaos Spawn (and oh boy, do I want more Chaos Spawns). Obviously I want to add more to this army and certainly I may look to this year as the one to do so. We'll see how well painting goes before I make that decision.
Necromunda:
Still converting the last of my Escher crew. Once their finished and painted, will probably add some characters like Belladonna to the group. Not a very big option, but I haven't played it so I don't know how far I want to go with projects for this game.
Blood Bowl:
So they no longer sell the 4 pack of Gobbos, so in order to finish my Underworld Denizins team I'm going to have to get the Goblin Team in order to complete it. Still unsure if I'd ever play the game, but still want a my themed team none the less.
Malifaux:
Obviously, Gremlins is still the main, but apart from working on my Nightmare Ulix box set and add-ons for the crew, I'm just waiting to see what else I can add to the Gremlins later in the year.
I will try to finish up my Jakob Lynch crew at some point as they are my next fav group, but as for the rest? Well it all depends on how I feel. For instance, is it worth working on the Colette crew when there is a new set with new models in it? Do I go new models over the old ones? These questions are something I have to really think about.
Moonstone:
While I wait for more Faun stuff, I want to at least finish enough models for both Humans and Faeries, which will also include the option of a Giant for each. This stuff I've let go for far too long and I really need to get cracking on painting them soon.
Burrows and Badgers:
I still want to add more to my Riverbank crew, but I also want to start getting enough of a collection for a second opposing crew. The Kickstarter gave me both a Border Collie and a Mole to add to the mouse thief I have, so I'll start ordering models in groups of two, one for the Riverbank crew and one for the opposition. Once Riverbank crew options run out, then I can just keep adding to the opposition. The main goal is to have enough options to have a variety of crew customization's.
Other Miniatures:
Still up in the air on these ones. I have all sorts just sitting in containers that I want to do, but given this list, it might be some time before I give them another look over (this could change depending on the situation).
With this as my year goal, hopefully I wont stray too far off the path and at least get half of what I planned done. This list is more of a reminder to me that these things need to get done and what I should be focusing on and not getting too far over my head (too late!).
