December 31st Again?!

So it's New Years Eve again and what have I done since the last one? Well I have finally started to build my Titan which was planned and the Mastodon, which wasn't, I built a Chaos Marine Army that I'm thinking of building into a core of a Fallern Angel army for the Heresy era game. I've got a couple of Apocalypes formations, the Predator Assassin and Marine Formations, I almost got ripped off by a dodgy git on facebook buying the 3rd Predator. Downside of this is that the Eldar haven't been touched yet. I think that the Eldar might get re-jigged into a Craftworld army or will stay on pause till a supplement comes out that allows more options for the Harlequins, as that is the army I really want to get rolling again. I can also be said to have started an Imperial Guard Army with the 4 10 man squads in the Chaos Army, I'll decide more on that one when the Codex comes out and I get round to buying it of course. My Dark Angles have been slimmed down a bit, I've dropped plans for a Lion Company based on the pups Codex and still have the core elements for a Knights of Blood army even though I have glued the body of the Librarian Dreadnought onto the legs back to front, with a little effort I'll drop the dis from this advantage and get a "dynamic action" pose going for it with the Force Weapon. The Codex Marines are staying as they are for now. My plan for the Chaos Android & Sisters of Battle army are still at the same point as they where this time last year, I'm waiting for a new full codex for Sisters and the mythic Plastic Sisters and this rumored new plastic Necron Warriors Unit with a new style Gauss Flayer before I start putting concret ideas together for these 2.
Okay putting my ideas in one place ; I would like to get some more Terminators to make a full company of Deathwing, I'd like a few more bikes and Land Speeders, but I don't think I'm planning on adding a Ravenwing army, at least not yet. The 3rd Company might get touched up but I'm happy with them more or less, I can see me picking up enough Cyphers to swop out all my Tactical Squad Sgt's with Cyphers, I might get enough Khorne Berzerkers to swop out my robed vets for the 'zerkers for my Assault squads. My vet squad is going to get some Hoppolite Shields at some point to replace the Tomb King Shields, maybe pick up a couple more plasma cannons and 2 more mulit meltas to give plenty of Heavy Weapon choices.
Codex Marines are not changing much, they will stay as an allied choice for now.
Knights of Blood will be padded out with a couple of Tactical Squads and some jump packs for the Assault Squads. Still not sure if I'm going to field them as counts as Charcadons or not unless the Knights Of Blood get a supplement or at a pinch the Flesh Tearers.
Super Heavies- plan on making more Mastodons and seeing if they sell or not.
Sisters and Chaos Android waiting for Games Workshop to produce plastics for these.
Guard- plans after the codex comes out for now and we see what kits come out for it.
