Luckily its a short move. Moving 30 miles. Most of the stuff is packed into GW boxes and in will all my sprue and bits in rolling drawers, everything is packed tightly so nothing should jump around too much. And nothing painted is lose except my vendettas which won't be moving until a later date. Kinda scared to move them without foam.

Gonna suck not having a desk though. I have to find something I like at Ikea or something. Also my gaming budget is taking a hit... potentially a deep one.

cool thread, have no participated in one before;

Here are my plans (of mice and men....);

1 - Assemble, prime, paint and base FW Tau HQ
2 - Assemble, prime, paint and base Shadowsun HQ
(completes tau HQ slot).
3 - Complete repairs on Tau XV15 suits (about 8?).
4 - Finish paint scheme on Vespid
5 - Basecoat Tau XV15 suits
6 - Complete Stormraven comission
7 - Finish necron terrain piece prototype

I mainly play xenos (tau, nids, necrons) but have a small marine army I use as a "loaner" force for random games. I also make a lot of terrain, and do some commissions here and there.

While my xenos armies were done enough to play (well, my necrons are still playing catch up after the new dex) I noticed that I had huge amounts of models not done, or just assembled/primerd (for example had 3500 points built, but maybe only 2000 painted to a table top quality, etc.) so I am trying to go back and just finish them.

I look forward to seeing everyone else's goals and progress!

Well.... here is how I did.

1 - Assemble, prime, paint and base FW Tau HQ - DONE
2 - Assemble, prime, paint and base Shadowsun HQ - DONE
(completes tau HQ slot).
3 - Complete repairs on Tau XV15 suits (about 8?). - DONE
4 - Finish paint scheme on Vespid - DONE
5 - Basecoat Tau XV15 suits - DONE
6 - Complete Stormraven comission - NOT DONE
7 - Finish necron terrain piece prototype - NOT DONE

I even completed the XV15s, and started repairing my vespid (I have no idea why....).
Got interrupted by needing to finish a few Nids for a big apoc game mid month, but overall pleased.
Also, now my tau HQ and Elite slots are 100%!!!

Will think about and post up my Sept list in a day or so!

Good luck to everyone else!

Great effort folks! Good job to those who were able to make it.

The ones that didn't.... I'm sorry but we'll need to incinerate your body so your soul can be used to help enhance the wards of Grey Knight armor as it is forged.
