Ok, Time to finish of some more projects:
Flatten my skarlok, revent crew, Rengrave, and terminus.
Put some snow on my skarlok, revent crew, terminus, and reaper.
If I get off my butt I can do that all in 1 night, but I doubt I'll do it that fast.
After those I'd like to put some finishing touches on my khador MoW, and maybe even finish 1 of the sets of warhound legs.

    Well, I cleared a bunch of models off my table in March, and started a bunch more. Hoping to get more done this month...

    April vows:
    High priority:

    Wash and highlight Typhus, PM Champ, 2 Deathguard Termies
    Wash and highlight Skarre
    Finish painting Harrower, Helldiver, Stalker
    Paint 3 Soulhunters

    Hoping to actually be able to use the Cryx stuff in my current league (6 weeks left...)

    Lower priority

    Paint 3 Tyrant Guard
    convert 14 metal Chaos termie combibolter arms to combiplasma (with Chaos Plaspistol)
    Finish magneting and nurgle-ing Chaos Predator
    Finish magneting and converting Flyrant (this is one of those little jobs I never seem to get to; hopefully relisting it will make me do it!)

    I can't see accomplishing much more than that this month. But if I get time:

    Next projects to bring online (all are primed already):
    paint 10 IG jetbikes + Tallarn roughriders
    paint 7 Cadian voxcaster guys (as HW crew)
    paint 6 Cadian lasgunners + Sgt to finish my 4th squad
    paint 12 Genestealers

    Your choice. Or both if you really wanted.




    My April vows are to finish these last two models for our Adepticon team army and then not to even think about painting for the rest of the month (I've been painting non-stop for the last 2+ months now trying to get this crap done).

    So my vows kinda disintegrated last month, mostly due to my waiting on some parts from PP. I did get a ton painted, but not entirely what I had planned.

    This month I'm only going to work on things I have.
    1. Paint 12 Aritzan WWII US Airborne Done!
    2. Paint 3 Grenadier/EM-4 battlesuits for Weird War 2Done!
    3. Assemble, prime and paint 8 HighshieldsDone!
    4. Assemble, Prime and paint Herne & Jonne
    5. Assemble, prime and paint 6 Thrade BAH!
    7. Clean and paint Martian flying boat.
    8. 7 Skorne Venators primed and painted (left over from last month) Done!

    Yep, that's 27 minis. And I'm a-gonna do it, too!

    Addendum: Got my Venator leader in. So that's 7 Venators to do as well (yes, I have an extra one).
    EDIT: so the Thrade are the MOST FRUSTRATING MINIATURES EVER. Consequently, they're going back on the heap until I calm down a bit. Working on the Skorne, and fooling around with an old reaper fig on the mountain (that will be perfect for Gloire!). So forget the Thrade. Just stunties and nosfaratu samurai for the rest of the month.

    Haven't been here long, but I thought I'd post, as it might make me (unlikely but worth a try) get off WoW long enough to get some actual painting done.
    Really only painting at the mo, and my only army atm is my 'Sons of Kharos' Chaos Renegades, which has 5 sub-factions for those interested.

    Finish painting

    8x Deathdrake Brotherhood Bezerkers - former 1st company of my Chaos guys
    8x Vile Brood Possessed - Slaanesh faction
    10x Sons of Kharos Chaos Marines - Chaos Undivided

    Start painting

    My goal this month is rather ambitious for me.

    I'm going to try to paint 600 points of Soviets.

    I have all the infantry (unless I decide to get some Sappers) but I still have to buy the tanks (KV-1s's) and other support units.

    So yeah, here goes nothing!
