As I work through my backlog I wondered how many of you have a bigger task ahead than me... Primed doesnt count!

While about 95% of my assembled models are painted, and about 90% fully painted. I probably have more models than that still on the sprues!

I try to fully paint everything I buy, but you've just caught me after picking up a new ork army (and starting on eldar for next years adepticon) so sadly my percentage has dropped dramatically.

Working on a Star Grunt force in tandem with my Warmachine Pirates. I generally wont assemble anything unless painting is soon to follow. Painted this year... FOW Afrika Korps (2000points), Blood Bowl Gobos-20 figs, 30 ships for Full Thrust and 15 mechs for Battletech.

I haven't had any spare money to spend on buying new plasticrack lately, so I've gotten caught up on my painting.

I pretty much will not buy stuff unless the current stuff is painted, keeps costs down, I'm working my way through the skull pass box atm, and tryingt desperatly not to be persuaded by the giant I want.

I have around 3000k pts painted space marines but a metric ton not painted. 1500+pts Necron fully painted with around 500pts not assembled or painted. 99.9% are not painted or based for my Tau. My VC I have 20skeletons painted and some ghouls are in transition but the other 4000+pts are not painted or based.

I can put stuff together quickly but the longer I play the higher the standard of painting I hold myself to so it takes me longer to finish models to a level I like. My VC are my latest army and I want them to be the cherry big Con army. I'm working on getting 3000pts ready for Adepticon 2011.

yeah,
I don't really play with models till they are painted....
So I'm at 99.9% assembled = painted.

But I have at least two complete armies,
unpainted/unplayed waiting in the wings... it makes me sad...

Panic....

2k Grey knights painted, 2.2K templars painted, 2.5K eldar painted, 8K DE painted and a smattering other stuff. Problem is my backlog consists of Ogres with only one squad painted, Daemonw with on squad painted, and high elfs not even started. I also have about 3K of salamandes I have started. I am deciding to finally sell some stuff off. My eyes are bigger than my paintbrushes I guess hehehe.

Well, I have everything painted besides some modelling work still in progress and some units that aren't very fundamental to my force just yet, as well as some more pieces that I have yet to plan their style (a unique squad of Imperial guard). Besides that it's all painted to at least my former basic quality.

'Bout 10%.

I have 30,000 points of Guard of which 1 Russ and 1 squad of Tallarns is painted, if that gives you any ideas.

Most of my 8000 points of Necrons are painted though.

Actually something around 1450 models painted vs 8 unpainted models. Maybe 99,4-99,5 % ?

My percentage would be much higher except for the little word *fully*. By fully I take that to mean done and sealed.... I have a terrible habit of painting and then not quite being done with all the fine details, going back and adding a bit more chading, and just fine tuning things waaaay too much.


Sliggoth

I have almost of my army done. I just need to do my Assault Marines, Ulrik the Slayer, Ragnar Blackmane.

Sigh, Im really bad at this. I get bored painting the same thing all the time, so I have a vast array of partially painted, unpainted, primed, ...

These days, if its fully painted, I post it in my gallery. As you can see from that, I have only a fraction done.

My SM are the same thing. Have about 90% of the assembled ones painted, but have yet to seal them as I keep going back and doing more detailing.

Oops I think I messed up. It says assembled models. I originally put down about 85% because I included stuff still in box or not assembled. If we're just including assembled models than I've got maybe somewhere between 90-95% painted.

Hmmm wait a minute... I don't actually seal my stuff... I'm not sure if it really counts as painted at all

I voted between 21-50%. A good chunk of my Flames of War stuff is painted or mostly painted. My 40k stuff is probably about half painted. My problem is I still have a bunch of stuff in boxes and blisters.

About 50% at the moment.

If I'd answered this yesterday it would be 100% as finished all of my AoBR models the other day. However I just went and bought a battlebox and have been making those so more like 70% now.

Somewhere around 50-60%. I got most of 2000pts of Guard painted....then bought about 1000 more points. Most of what I have though is assembled and in the chute to paint.

My BFG fleet brings me back up somewhat, though!

Almost all my necrons are fully painted (around 2000pts) as are my tomb kings (about 1000 pts) but only a few of my high elves have been painted =/ (About 1500 pts)...

If you mean active models then its around 75%. But I own a bunch of Fantasy stuff that I have no use for so they sit in a box in my closet. Namely around 2000 points of orks and goblins that were my brothers. (For sale btw).
As a rule I try to have everything painted before i buy new stuff but I rarely ever follow that rule...

Probably just over 50%

Right around 50% [not counting my orks, they are for sale].

Less than 50%

Mainly because I'm repainting my Wolves, so I'm counting them as not done.

There's just not enough time to paint, what with work and my 2 beautiful kids...oh and the missus as well!

It has been a very long time since I was "fully-painted".

About half of my minis are painted, and I'm quite happy with that, given that I'm closing in on owning 1,500 minis.

Slightly less than half for me.

I have two armies (Blood Angels and Necrons) fully painted, but the painting bug abandoned me a while ago. I've barely started painting my Eldar, and most of my Chaos is unpainted because I'm working on a huge ongoing kitbash project, and don't want to paint anything up until I've got all the parts I need to finish everything and make the army how I want it. Then, of course, I'll have to motivate myself to paint. Or find another excuse

Just starting a new army, and I'm taking the building/painting process pretty slowly. So, as is I only have one unit of models built/primed/base coated. That's it! I've got a lot to do still...
