Late March update....Because its April

Hello all!

So I'm back and got some stuff to show off!  Honestly?  March was pretty slow and most of what I got painted was....not really finished in March.  I finished it all last week!  Which I had off and I did a lot of painting.

So lets get down to it all!

Five Stormcast Judicators!  I am SO CLOSE to 1000pts.  I just need to get 3 Prosecutors done and the first stage of my Stormcast is complete!

Next up....

One Roper Monster for D&D!  Now I already have one of these...but I picked this guy up back in the summer and just decided to get him off my table ASAP.  So I did...and now here he is ready to eat people in caves!

Finally one last big model...

One 6th Edition Dark Elf Hydra!  I won this model back in 2007 at a GW store event when the 7th Edition Dark Elf Army book was released.  They were getting rid of their old stock i the way GW used to do it...by giving stuff away.  So I got a 60 dollar metal model for Zero Dollars.

Now here he is!  I must say I have nightmares about putting this guy together...but now that he is done (Minus the Beast Masters that is) I can lay my head to rest.

So that's it for now!  Hopefully I'll have more updates soon.

February Wrap-up!

Hello once again all!

So I didn't update much last month, but that doesn't mean that I haven't been busy getting things painted!  I actually managed to get a bunch done on two separate projects.  So lets see what I managed to paint!

Four more Stormcast Liberators! When added with Steelheart I have another unit of five. Now I just need to put together the last 5 Liberators I have for a whole Unit of 10.  But that will have to wait as I have other things I'm working on now.

 
Four Skaven Clan Rats for some Warhammer 6th Edition Skirmish!  These old models are lovely to paint and super quick.  I have a bunch more that are currently in route so I hope to have a decent sized force ready soon so I can play a few games.

Now one more entry for this month.



My last three Bones 1 Kickstarter Kobolds.  I now have a full 12 painted up and out of my Bones bin.  Nothing real special for these guys but I am running out of space on my D&D Shelf in my display case...

So in total for February I managed to paint 12 models!  Pretty good if I do say so myself. I have one more random model i want to paint before I continue with the last models I need for my Stormcast 1000pts.

Until then!

Late January....Or Early March?

Hello once again all!

I'm back with my Round up of January...a week into February!  Sorry but I honestly was distracted from painting most of the month and honestly didn't get around to finishing what was on my desk until a few days ago, technically making it a February paint completion.  However, I make the rules so....



Three Stormcast Liberators!  The last 3 I needed done to complete my unit.  This whole unit was years in the making.  In fact I'm pretty sure I started this whole unit back in 2016 and just kept delaying getting it done.  But now with these guys done I have a full 10 man unit completed!



Tada!  Now with the completion of these models it means I have only done 4 models for the whole month of January.  Which is fine honestly.  I decided I'm going to take it easy and not stress myself too much...but I WILL finish my Stormcast.

So with that said, on to the next unit!

2022 and Painting is the Name of the Game! Also Warhammer Technically....

Hello all!

I'm back for a new year of painting minis and kicking ass.  And as I'm locked down at home, I'm all out of Ass.  With this said I have decided to FOCUS this year.  I'm getting a project done whether it kills me or not.  I probably wont, but still!

So with all that said lets start off with my first project I intend to get done this year.  My Hallowed Knights Stormcast Eternals!


Lord Celestant on Dracoth!  I was kinda dreading painting this model because I couldn't decide on how to paint the Dracoth.  My decision came down to me having gone to my Local Game store and bought some Vallejo Dark Green paint.  From there I just decided "Dragons should be green" and went with it.

So that model is done!  Next up, finishing my Liberators.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

So...uhh....Not a lot of painting in the second half of the year.  Honestly despite my best attempts at motivation it just wasn't happening.  But a new year is here as well as me being stuck working from home.  So now I don't have an excuse.  I WILL finish a project this year.  First up is completion of my Stormcast which I have sitting half-primed for awhile.  That will be my main project and despite earlier years I will not be distracted!

With all that said and done I did manage one last thing done before the end of the year.  I actually finished it back in November but never got around to showing it to you all.  So without further ado...

Forest terrain!  Not much to say about painting it honestly.  I bought the trees from the dollar store and scrapped off all the fake snow and then re-flocked them to mild success.  Basically the same as my last bunch of trees.  

So with this last model/project for 2021 my year end total comes to 118 models!  That's 15 more then last year.  Hopefully I can keep up the trend.

 So thats my last of 2021.  Hopefully 2022 will start off with a bang!
