**I grappled the shoggoth**

I have a big squad of 20 gargoyles and some BA, 2 sanguard and a death company box. The gargoyles are built but not painted, the BA are still on the sprues, but ive been waiting to paint them til I get the rest of the army.

My pile of unpainted models has just grown a great deal,and basicly it's my own fault.

My Death Guard had grown to simply ridiculous proportions,over 15 troop choices,so...I decided to trim it down some,keeping only Metal Death Guard (both new and OOP) and forge world Death Guard for troops and stripping all the converted plastic CSM I had done in order to use them for "another legion".

After much simple green soaking and green stuff removeal,I am left with a squeky clean pile of over 40 CSM (plus several Terminators) to repaint .

Now,I just have to decide wich Legion to paint them up/convert them to.

I'll go with other. I strip a lot of old stuff down to repaint when I notice my painting improving over time and have at least maybe 3 or 4 good sized armies worth of models. Maybe 5 as the Eldar I've stripped would make at least 2...

**Mattarias**

I'm waiting on some greenstuff in the mail and some red primer, then I'll finish the twenty-someodd ladies I have left... >>; Wait, that sounds dirty..

**Samus_aran115**

I just came upon some a small force of Tyranids (a trygon,carnifex,13 Genestealers,20-some guants).

I don't really feel compelled to paint them though.....I hate painting anything but flat, smooth models (spesh marines and tau,among others). They just take to long....It might take a couple nights to do a genestealer,ugh. I finished the carnifex in a couple days, but I really doubt I can paint the trygon....*sigh*

Doesn't even have my orks in there...

**Necanor**

About 20 Guardsmen. I just convert them the way they don't fit in the same squad.

**Cypher871**

It's easier for me to say what I DO have painted...a Whirlwind and 2 Predator conversions plus some part painted Tac and Assault squads. The rest of my Marine army is undercoated Chaos Black...as are my Tau and Ork armies...I much prefer modelling and converting to painting...sad really.

**Samus_aran115**

Hmm,well.. My trygon is still unfinished...All my tanks are done....Everything is painted except the models that I strip,which IMO are still painted, since simple Green works like crap.

**Dannage**

5 Companys of Space Marines and their vehicles. 4 Imperial Guard squads and 6 IG tanks. A number of non 40K models (BFG, Blood Bowl, Necromunda)...

I don't know where to start!

**devilfluff**

I made a quick list:

10 Swordsmen
30 Halberdiers
30 Spearmen
2 x 6 Knights
5 Pistoliers
20 Greatswords
10 Archers
10 Free Company
2 x 10 Handgunners
Grey Hunters
Wolf Guard
Bunch of characters
a whole Dark Eldar army

Forgot about the DE army whenI voted, though... shoulda been 20+, not 6+

**djphranq**

Most of the stuff I have built that needs painting are for circle orboros....mostly warbeasts...

**Samus_aran115**

Ack,just got a dude's CSM army. Just some infantry, but it's like 50 models AND UGLY. Gawd.

So that brings me up to...a lot.

**RiTides**

I don't have unpainted models, since I usually only buy models when I'm able to get them commissioned right after... So 0 right now for me!

**Mr. Burning**

Got a box jam paked of marine sprues around 2.5k worth. I am waiting on another 2k of vehicles so I will be kept busy with these whilst my unpainted IG and steam punk armies sit around in piles.

**Whatsit Tooya**

I have more than 50 unpainted models and many half painted figures.

**khanaris**

I hate having work left to do. The more I have unpainted, the harder it is for me to buy new models. That said, I still have about 24 boyz, 10 nobz, a bunch of grotz, and 2-3 vehicles left to paint.

**parampara**

we have over 1000 minis, around 30% is painted. Usually we jump between projects

**Grambo**

guys,just dont buy anymore models until you paint the rest of them.....its not that hard.

SHUT UP! YES IT IS!

**TherVadam**

I have an un-painted zoanthrope, and an un-painted genestealer broods, but those are also my only units I own... Go Theoryhammer!

**Thortek**

I personally dislike painting, most of the time so every army i have EXCEPT tau is primed or has 1 or 2 colors.

You lie heretic! You of all the Imperium scum should know not to lie!
You have 80 night goblins, one giant cave squig which has been painted, and no orc boyz.
Although you have 10 black orcs...

I will be having words with your mother!

I myself have lots of boyz (40k) to paint, my trukk, nobs, gretchin and 2 units of saurus several skinks and some high elves

**yimkin101**

50+ because building is much more fun

**Ma55ter_fett**

All my assembled models are painted.

I have some in bits or on the sprue that obviously are not.

**Jackal**

Ive sold most of my painted stuff -_-

Currently have:

3k+ nids (all unpainted except doom)
1k BA (nothing even primed)
?k+ Daemons (just making a start on this in a blog)

Also have around 2k of skaven on the way from GW as of last night (impulse buy)

**brandon noble**

I'm all done...of course my army is really small, so ;-)
