I would say about 70%, I try to keep up on my painting, but of course time is always an issue.

I feel like a " What percentage of models you own have been completed" would be a more interesting poll, as it asks more of how big is your backlog rather than how big is your painting backlog. That poll would also be slightly more disturbing; While I have 50% or so of my assembled (Thank you 200+ finished ork boyz) I have probably finished only 10-20% of all the models that I own.

21-50%, unfortunately. Almost all of my 1,600pt Blood Angels are painted (just need to finish a 5-man combat squad and some Scouts), but the low % comes from my CSM. I have around 5,000 points, but barely any are painted. I went a bit crazy with spending, and repeatedly bought new units without bothering to paint them. Now when I finally did feel I should paint them, I have an awful Codex that I can't bring myself to use seriously.

Therefore, most of the CSM are primed at best. Sad really, I love the fluff Chaos has, but the Codex totally killed any desire to paint the rest.

I realized that I think I have more done than I have. I would say 95%, but on closer exam, i think it is more like 70%. I have a small this and that force still unpainted. My friend gave me some Christmas money and I was going to start Wood Elves, but not after this poll, thanks a lot. (hehe)

I have my 1850 of SM fully painted and I wrapping up the basing. What is sad is the tyranid and ork armies that are unpainted and thousands of points of SM still in the box. I can't paint as fast as I buy. I need rehab.

1-20% and pretty low in that range, to boot. Half a dozen vehicles and a bunch of troops (probably 2500-3000pts, if I added up every model for both armies). The shame. Oh, the shame...

I'd say (points wise) I have painted about 60% of my armies, but as far as number of models goes its probably about half that! I tend to prioritise the big eciting things and forget about the troops.

I dont like looking at my unpainted minis it makes me feel as though im running through treacle in a 100m sprint. I got 8 termies, 5 assault, 1 chappy, 1 chapter master and a razorback left to put paint on

I also made the mistake (although i had to do it) of dropping £200 on the new forgeworld SM armour variants 2 of each i think ill leave them boxed in the cupboard so i dont have to look at them lol

Heh thought so ya lazy bastards.

Rick Priestley said it best:
Bryan always said that if the studio ever had to mix with the manufacturing and sales part of the business it would destroy the studio. And I have to say – he wasn’t wrong there! The modern studio isn’t a studio in the same way; it isn’t a collection of artists and creatives sharing ideas and driving each other on. It’s become the promotions department of a toy company – things move on!

About 80-90% of my Orks are painted, but 10-20% of those need minor finishing off; mainly painting the teef or base.

Of my Space Wolves, well this is my new army and not many are 100%.

I only have my HQs and Elites painted.

The real reason is that I had no brushs,now that I do have them,I also have exams. :-(

At least I had a week off after exams to paint.
I have a half finished Champion and I really want him done.
