Nearly half way through the year, May was a time for painting more and spending less. My spending even went down!

The overview:

The pictures:

Bloodbowl has been the focus this month and, until I get my team finished, will continue to be the focus of my brush-based geeking.

Core goals are on target. I'm not sure I can claim they are completed unless I manage it for the whole year, but I'm going to colour them green anyway!

CORE goals

• blog an average of one post every five days (i.e. six posts per month)
• give a monthly update of how each of these goals are going
• give a monthly update of how much I've painted, built, gamed, acquired, and spent
• co-ordinate Deadcember 2016, along with a prize for the best contribution

STRETCH goals

• take a group picture of what I paint each month using my lightbox
• sort out proper galleries of my figures for this blog

How are you getting on with your goals for 2016?
