Project Guild: 100% in 2014

They say that the best way to hold oneself accountable to one's goals is to share them with someone else, so I'm going to make a public claim and then it falls to me to back it up:

I will complete The Guild before GenCon 2014

It might not seem a lofty goal, but my plan is to do this while also not losing my job, neglecting my kids or alienating my wife, so that does indeed make it harder.  Added to this difficulty is that the guys at Wyrd intend to release a great number of models this year, all of which must also be completed for me to claim successful completion of this task. As a sub-goal, I will also photograph every model and put them up on the internet as proof of my success - I just need to find a good place to host the pics.  Any suggestions?

You can track my progress here on Stinkmunk's Malifaux Completion List.  It's not as awesome or as fancy as Mako's Malifaux Model Tracker but it will suffice for my needs.

As of today's date, I have completed 62% of the models, but the bad news is that I've left the hardest ones to last.  Avatars, Nightmares, out of production figures.  Still, I hope to succeed, and I have 53 weeks to do it in!

Thanks for reading.

  1. I have a lot of luck with both photobucket and flickr to host my pictures on the internet. I find them pretty reasonable on the cost side and very easy to upload to and link from. I tend toward Photobucket for embedding pictures to my blog, and Flickr for links to send people to photo-albums and slide shows.

    1. Thanks Nix. I currently use Photobucket and I was concerned that I had made the wrong choice. I didn't want to have to migrate my stuff at a later date. If it's working for you I'll likely just stick with it.

  2. I'd use imgur.com because its more mobile friendly and less adds/clutter around the site.
