Alright, looks like most of us kept to our vows, at least somewhat. Remember, vows are not meant to be all-consuming (in addition to what I did, I played with a rhino kitbash and painted up a bunch of GASLIGHT VSF figs), but just a way to keep you on track and reduce that lead mountain, one fig at a time.

So, my vows for February:

-Bog Trogs Unit + 2
-2 Skorne beast handlers (to round out my paingivers squad)
-Lady Aiyana and Holt
-Paint up Over The Wire's England Invaded starter (7 brits, 3 prussians)
-Tiefling fighter and gnoll warrior for my Chainmail Naresh warband.
That's 24 figs, 1 more than I painted this month. If I can make it to 1/day (on average) and maintain that through the year, I should significantly reduce my unpainted pile that's accumulated over the years. Now, what to do with them, I don't know.

January was successful and heres hoping February will be the same.

Painting my 25ish boys. Doesn't seem like a ton for the whole month but i have to perfect my colors. Its not a slacker vow i swear!

I have a week of break so I'll be able to complete my vows this time(actually I did complete my January vows, I just totally spaced on posting).

Paint:
Black Templar Command Squad
Black Templar Crusader Squad1
Black Templar Crusader Squad2
Razorback
Inquisitor

Wow, that totals out to 24 models also. Their are actually 28 models in those 5 units but I've painted 2 Neophytes, Initiate and the Command Squad's veteran Sergeant.

Finish casting, mold-making for IG heads, and elements for my WFB araby skeletons.

Djinn sculpts for WFB army.

24+ Genestealers.

Base and undercoat all of the above.

Whoo, classes have began going into full swing. Looks like 4 tests almost evenly distributed throughout the month.

So...one crisis suit, painted.

Finish modeling, basing, and painting a unit of 3 Deff Choppas.
Convert a full unit of Stormboys.....(Sproingboys!)

Obtain a Battle for Macragge box set and get my roommate hooked...

hell my March vow might be to model and paint up his Nids!

Poor Stonefox.
My classes just finished. We get two weeks of ski-break!
But last week we did have 4 tests:(

I vow...

1. To actually do most of the stuff I vowed to do in January, including but not limited to: Finishing my Archon and finishing my raiders.

2. Work on not procrastinating quite so much.

3. Continue to slay my enemies with overly dramatic versions of the biblical plagues.

4. If all of the above is accomplished, finish a squad of Grey Knights

ehmm....I would really like to start those burna boyz...

and the tankbustas

I've got to keep the momentum going here. One month of work is pretty easy. Stringing them together is the tough part.

Finish off the terrain stuff I've got now. This includes snow and trees.

For new stuff, 2 ruined houses and

A set of obstacles. Lets say 5 of them.

2008 is going to be my most productive year EVAR.

syr8766 wrote:-Bog Trogs Unit + 2

nice.

31 half finished Saurus Warriors/ Temple Guard.
48 half finished Skinks.

They're already mostly basecoated and inked, they just need 95% of the detail work done. Just painting to presentable standard.

Oog. January was most unproductive. Finished my Khador battlebox...and, um, half-assembled a bunch of stuff, half-painted some more. Yikes.

Ok, February vows:
Highlight my last 4 Zealots + Monolith Bearer
Repaint the base markings on the rest of my Menoth (3 jacks, 19 infantry, 2 casters and a solo)
Finish painting 10 Bile Thralls
Paint Typhus, Plague Marine Aspiring Champion, and two Chaos Termies with Reapers and Chainfists
Paint 7 more Plaguebearers and Warp Gate
Paint Severius, Skarre, Eiryss and Gorman

Finish daemonizing and magneting Chaos Predator
Finish magneting LR Demolisher
Finish magneting and converting Flyrant
Finish flesh hooks and carapace for last 3 genestealers

I'd like to assemble and rod-mount my 10 Imperial Guard Jetbikes (for counts-as Roughriders) but I think I might be getting ahead of myself, realistically.


Lots of these are little jobs that I just never seem to get around to doing (like the final highlights on the zealots, and finishing converting the genestealers). I'm hoping that actually typing them in here where I can be reminded of what I need to do will help! I like the idea for these threads, to keep us on track.

1. Finish painting my Dire Avengers (half-done).
2. Perfect my paint scheme for gravtanks.

That seems ambitious enough for a month for me.

AT-43... I kid!

1. Temple Flameguard. Seriously.
2. Shirtless Anima Tactics
3. Wolfriders
4. Rebase Wood Elves

That's it. If I commit to more then I'll do nothing.

O.k..... Febuary vows.
I know fine well i'll deviate at some point from this list but i'll try not to!

Finish DA company master and command squad (undercoated and basecoated already).
Paint DA devastator squad (undercoated already).
Finish final detailing on deathwing terms x 10.
Finish DA suppression force, vindicator and predator (each vehicle 20% painted already).
Finish building and undercoat DA chaplain, vet squad and chaplain's personal LR crusader (conversion included).
Build and undercoat 2x rhinos for tactical squads.(i'll probably paint these too when i do my other vehicles to speed things up!)

Finish conversion on black legion fellblade (which is looking VERY promising!) 80% complete so far....
Assemble and undercoat Abbaddon conversion and converted personal body guard terms
Convert pre-heresy LR for above when the bits from FW arrive eventually....

I reckon the DA stuff will take two weeks so its fair to assume i'll crack into the BL stuff more towards the end of the month.
I'll definately get some pics up this month too. In particuler my converted BL stuff.
February promises to be extremely productive!!!!

paint 8 warp spiders
paint 6 fire dragons
finish painting 1 wave serpent
flock all bases

This is my vow not only for February, but for this week. There's a tournament next weekend to which I want to bring this stuff.

I VOW:

to at least finish my WH inquistiro lord and retinue (9 models) in a not so speedy fashion (im prying myself away from the speedpainting style ive been in the last 2 years)

convert and paint 6 rhinos for my deathguard

fill out my SOB FOC

Paint the following:
2x 3-man squad of ogre-wolf bulls with extra hand weapons
1x 3-man squad of ogre-wolf ironguts
1x Ogre-Wolf shaman

Re-sculpt the handle on my Ogre-Wolf Tyrant's Tenderizer, prime him, and get some paint on him.
Sculpt the head for an ogre-wolf howler

If time permits, do the heads and tails for a squad of doglars.

Photo/post the above.

My January was a bit slow too, but I'm almost done with my January vow (12 Firewarriors).

For February I vow:
- finish the 12 Firewarriors
- complete the 3 Sniper Drone Teams

My February vows will be to complete the stuff I said I'd do in my January vows. If I've the time I'd like to build another War Walker and convert a Farseer on bike. Pics of my January progress in a couple days, away from my apartment right now.

I vow to:

Not finish a project.
Not stick to a single project and jump around with what I feel like working on every day.
Work and Paint slowly with every piece I DO end up working on.


Oh wait...I've already done that for the last few months...damn. Maybe I'll try and break them all ^_^.

I vow to open a new box, stare at it, contemplate it, tell people how great it will look when finished and then put it back on the shelf with other projects.

I'm about 85% done on the England Invaded Brits. WOW are they easy to paint up. Cartoonish, but in a good way. Will post pics ('course I said that about January).

Having so much fun with 'em I ordered 3 more brits and 7 more prussians to round out what I've got. Ah, me.

neat. my lizards are 100% base coated and inked, about 50% based and the number of painted spear heads grows daily.

I just noticed these threads in this forum, this is a great idea.

I vow:

To Paint:
1 Unit Zealots (6) (WM) + Monolith
1 Black Scorpion Female Pirates (five minis)
1 Redeemer (WM)
3 Sea Dog Rifles (WM)

To Finish Assembling/Converting
1 Unit Idrians +2 (WM) Head Swaps
1 Harbinger (WM), Finally finish my extensive nauticly inspired conversion.
3 Wracks (WM) The wracks converted to look like anchors by adding a large, bow-shaped widget to the bottom.

Now that I write it all out, it seems like a lot. I'll be shooting for the moon, this first month out.

I'm going to build a Stompa!


Eric

First up, finishing up my goal of 1000 points of ogres by today (Feb 6). Missed hitting the mark, but not by much! Still to go:

Painting
- 1 yhetee
- 1 bruiser
- 1 movement tray

Then for the next month it's time to get my CSM to 2000 points. That'll be:

Painting
- 1 demon prince
- 1 dreadnought
- 1 land raider
- 3 terminators

That should get me a bit into March, but we'll lock them in as my February Vows.

- Salvage

Finished the brits two nights ago and the prussians yesterday. Just Put Aiyana and Holt together. I'd like to be ambitious and say they'll be done by Sunday, but I know better. Here's hoping to getting them done soon though, so I can move on to the Naresh stuff, then finish off with the Bog Trogs.

So far I'm doing better than a figure a day this month, but I'm down to .5/day for the year. Gotta get crackin'!

My goal is to finish painting my Dire Avengers and Wave Serpent that I was supposed to have done for this month's league games that took place last weekend, as well as the Rangers and Autarch I'm using for next month's round.

Aiyana and Holt are done. Next, on to the Naresh figs (I discovered I had TWO gnoll fighters to do--one with a flail and one axe and shield. Sweet). Then hope to finish up with the Bog Trogs.
