100th Post and just over 10,000 points painted in a little over a year!

I'm a data guy, so its no surprise I track a lot about my hobby time. I first purchased the Pelennor Fields starter set on May 5th, 2022. Now, just a little bit over a year later it was a fun time to take a look back over my armies and a look back at the blog so far!

It's been really fun tracking what I've painted. It's so ingrained in my hobby routine now that I really look forward to the very last step of painting (which for me is the final brown coat around the rim of the base) so that I can immediately go pop it in the spreadsheet. For each of my armies, I have a sheet that looks like this:

Which of course, rolls up to my main "dashboard" showing what armies I have ready to go and at what points level. Here's a bonus look at my "Mordor and friends" tab, which is easily the most filled out:

For the overall stats, since May 5th 2022 I have painted 371 Models, and 10,550 Points.

At the time of this post, this is my backlog. Seeing it listed like this is actually pretty motivating in a weird way... but it's still the digital twin of my pile of shame opportunity.

As for the blog, my top three posts are:

#1- 500 point Rivendell tournament report with just under 1,000 views.

#2- Lords of the West Painting post. 

#3- Rivendell vs Mordor in to the Death. This was a pretty looking game!

Anyhow, THANK YOU to everyone who has commented here, on Reddit, or on Facebook. It's meant a lot and keeping up with this blog has been a real joy!
