Well I'm going to try it this year but cheat slightly in that I update an old army instead.
Inspired by my first game of 40k since 8th edition at Christmas that army will be Drukhari.
This army have been gradually painted up since about 2010 (I phased out the original models gradually when the new army came out), however seeing as most of the army was painted the night before various doubles tournaments, plus it's been heavily used in previous editions, it's not in great shape.
My aim will be to get 1500 points repaired and repainted as well as some smaller games under my belt (combat patrol size most likely) over the course of the year.
Some units of further on that others but the whole army needs rebasing, as well as magnets adding as I plan to store them outside of the usual foam cases they've been in (which mainly snap off all the various spikes on the models).
Anyway, without further ado, I present the list:

I'll put up separate posts with the models out of this that I've finished to date, but they are as follows:
1 x Archon - this is a Lady Malys conversion I'm particularly proud of!
10 x Kabalite Warriors - painted these up last year and they were my first new Drukhari unit for about a decade
5 x Incubi - the new models that I'd had in a box since the Rise of the Phoenix box set way back in (I think) 7th?
1 x Ravager - this was a new model from a Christmas army box, again it's been sat in the loft for years.
Anyway, that's it for now. Let's see if we can actually make this a reality this year!
