February not as Great as I hoped...

 Hello once again!

 So I had planned to get SO MUCH DONE in the month of February!!!!

...That did not happen.  Turns out what I decided to paint was much harder than I thought.  So with that said...

Five Inner Circle Arc Knights of Averland!  Bodyguard of House Leitdorf.

Now this unit has been base coated and sitting in a box since 2008.  I had taken them to a tournament, the last tournament for Warhammer Fantasy I had gone too, back then.  I came in 3rd with the plans of finishing this unit.

Of course I instead but them in a box and forgot about them.  However now they are done!  Now just to get a movement tray for them.  Also figure out how to get them glued to the horses.  So far I'm using sticky tack as their legs keep getting into the way.  Oh well, we shall see.

So I guess for February I only managed 5 models.  Hopefully more next month!

January Painting! What the Hell did I do?

Hello once again!

So end of the month and time to look at what I managed to get done.  Granted, due to some sickness and general real life getting in the way...not as much as I would have liked.  HOWEVER!  I still got stuff done so lets take a look!

 
First lets start with this piece of Dungeon terrain.  The Rack!  I have a pile of blisters that I decided I need to get through so here's just one I got done.  But along with this...


One Iron Maiden and two Mines for my Kill Team.  The Iron Maiden was easy enough, mostly just wash and drybrush.  The Mines were the last two pieces for my Kill Team box.  So that is 100% done!

Now what else did I finish?

3 Osgiliath Veterans!  I know, I haven't painted any Lord of the Rings models in a good long while.  But I had bought these and decided to just get them done ASAP.  So, here they are!

Now for an update on my Empire army...

These are my Knights I would have painted back in 2005, when I had just started getting into Warhammer.  Honestly, these were a pretty simplistically done and not super great but were a good base coat. Now however...

My Arc Knights of Averland!  Beyond the banner it was all mostly just washes and highlights.  Its kinda tough to Highlight metal but I did my best and here we are.

So in total I managed to paint/repaint 12 models.  Not much but a great start!

End of the Year! What I finished, What shall I do in 2025?

Hello once again all!

So this year has been really hot and cold when it has come to painting.  When I was on a roll I was on a ROLL!!!  But that also lead to months of idle not painting.  Despite all that however I did manage to get quite a lot painted this year.  Much more than last year!  So lets take a quick look at the last stuff I painted this year.

10 man Phobos marine Kill Team!

Pretty much all my hobby time has been put to getting this unit done.  One of the first "Buy than immediately paint" project I have done in a good long while.

So with these 10 done its time to tally up my model for the year.....

107 Model painted in 2024!  Well that is a MUCH better result than last year!  But I still have so much to go.

What project will I start this year?  Will I focus fire on my Empire army now that its being released for Old World?  Will I get some board games out of the way?  Who knows!  Stay tuned to find out
