I do not know if this would be the correct forum to post this in, but... I need some form of motivation to paint my models, every single time I get ready to sit down and paint, something else seems more appealing. I have a love for my eldar army, but, I just seem to be unable to paint them, anyone have any suggestions to get me inspired? Thanks.

Paint them in front of the TV if you can. I find that I can paint for ages if I have something else to distract me (I really hate painting and find it difficult to paint for more than a few minutes at a time normally).

I paint at my computer with music going, I can get lost for hours.

this is probubly your best bet, or a cd and a pile of your favorite CDs!

I find that if I can't get motivated to paint, but want to try and get some work done, I just browse the painting and modeling forum or the tutorials section for about half an hour or so, usually I spot something cool or see a nicely painted model and that gets me in the mood to paint a bit. Like Inquisitorfabius I usually turn on some music, usually my Pandora radio and just start painting. Before I know it 2 hours have passed and I've made significant headway on a model or three.

Just my two pennies. Take care and good luck!
