First Months Work....What did I paint?

Hello all!

So I'm back, sooner than many of you have probably thought.  Unlike months prior, I have things to show off.  I've been making progress on a few projects and I figured I'd show them to you.  So without further ado...

Five Dark Elf Warrior Spearmen!  Now I continued with my Dark Elf paint scheme and these guys came out lovely.  The shields were all cast in Greenstuff as I don't have enough spare shields to go with the remaining troops I have.  With these guys done that leaves 10 more left to finish the unit.  So excited to finally finish another unit!

Hey, speaking of working to finish a unit...

Four Empire Swordmen!  Well, mercenary swordsmen to be exact.  I plan on using these guys as a detachment for my "Mercenary" army.  With the three I already painted that just leaves three more!

Now for a palate cleanser...

One Kings of War, Nightstalker butcher!  I have a box of Nightstalkers I bought on discount and I always wanted to paint them.  So I figured now's as good as any so here he is!  Done!

So 10 models done at the start of the year, not too shabby!

New Year New (Painting) Me!

Hello once again all to my Yearly wrap-up!

So its that time of year again where I show off all the last models I panted this year and tally up my total.  

Which, I'm going to be honest, was not much....

Seems in the last half of the year I just zonked out and was not motivated to paint at all.  I did man age a few things, but overall not much.  So lets take a look at the Things I did finish up.

So to start off we have the Truthsayer from the Albion campaign book.  I've has this model primed on my desk for years.  I decided to paint it up with contrast paints and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.  Especially the skin.  When I finished this bad boy I was also going through my boxes of partially finished minis and decided to go whole hog on a mini project.

Behold!  My Hobgoblin Horde!  Or, more specifically, the Hobgoblin half of my Chaos Dwarf army.  Now many of these were already partially painted.  I just had to properly base, wash and highlight them.  I painted most of this stuff in 2006 and now they are finally done.  Now I just gotta refresh my actual Chaos Dwarfs.

Next up!

One Black Orc!!

Yeah I know, it's not that much be he's a test model for the colour scheme I want.  He came out pretty good and I'm happy with it.  Now I just got to do it 23 more times.

Alright next up

Behold my Marienburg Warband!  Now this is a shot of the whole team after a game of Mordheim.  with the exception of two many of these were refresh paint jobs, also one I painted early last year.  I just grabbed these from my pile of Empire minis and went to town on them.  I was inspired by Mordheim so I decided to finish one last model before the end of the year.

One Skaven Rat Ogre!  Pretty basic and I painted it pretty fast but he's done.  With that last model lets count up all I've done this year.

*Drum Roll*

100 models!....I'm actually pretty shocked.  I didn't realise I had managed that many given how I've barely painted over the last 6 months.  Also, quite a bit was repainting.  But I'm happy with everything and I hope to break this record next year! (This year I guess)

Until next time!
