My goal for the end of the month is to have 6 pathfinders finished, and at the very least have a squad of dire avengers, a wave serpent and a fire prism basecoated.

My incubi are not getting built... in fact, I'm putting them up for trade/sale.

To replace that goal:

Build a Ravenwing themed Land Speeder Typhoon (doesn't seem like much but its plenty for being close to the end of the month plus having to deal with little cat thieves).

1. Finish painting my pre-heresy marines
2. Buy more pre-heresy marines
3. Return to step 1

And theeen?

Here's a photo update! I finished my first character that had a sculpt that wasn't made in 2nd Edition! *cackles*

Lookin' good! Is the pattern on the hem of the cloak molded? or did you paint that in?

(BTW it's funny you mention 2nd Ed, because most of my CSM I am working on now are from that era. Then, of course I come across these and now I MUST HAVE THEM http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/New_Stuff/DEATHSHROUD_TERMINATORS.html)

For Jan:

Finish my ADL/quadgun by the end of the week (small tournament at my FLGS this Sat I want to use it for)

For the Year:

1 Finish painting the odds and ends from my friend's SOB army that I worked on. Just a handfull of arcoflagelents, spare immolater weapons, some IG HQs

2 Paint my spare bits. I've magetized a number of things, painted the primary set up, but never get around to doing the other options.

Like most people, I've got a lot of unpainted stuff, but if I can knock out those two things, my workspace would be much cleaner. Working on the backlog of stuff is a constant goal, but not a vow.

Molded, the level of detail on the limited edition Chaplain is mind boggling. It was a challenge and pleasure to paint.

I did convert mine a little, the banner is from the Dark Angels upgrade kit. I honestly hated those.... braziers maybe? Incense burners? Just didn't like those at all. The basing is also really basic, just what game on the base with a coat of ferrocreate grey, and a wash, the skull was done up in reaper polished bone, and when I finish my final loyalist model, it's going to get a light dusting of snow like the rest of them to fit with their campaign.

Right, got the vow done! All 7 plague marines, transport (rhino) and Typhus. I now have a friend coming over for a game and he is giving me his chosen models from the DV box set. Going to try and get them all done before I go away next Thursday

For January:
Finish building my space wolves models.

For year:
Fully paint and base my Skaven army
Expand skaven army to 2000 points
Make a battle report for 40k and Fantasy

In the 8 days I have left I have to prime a crap ton of stuff. I finished up the bastions, 5 devs for my BT, all my DA stuff from the starter box, and I just have to base the blackwater gulch guys.

Nothing will get painted though probably. I will make that next months goal. Going to run out of time unless I go it all tomorrow night some how.

for 2013:

- paint up the 1500pts of CSM models I bought
- improve my airbrushing skills
- play my first game of 40k!

termie captain is done!

Spoiler:

change of plans. rather than work on my night lords HQ, I went ahead and built up my defiler instead. I don't think I'll get any paint on him this month as I'm waiting for some stuff that's back-ordered, but he's fully prepped and assembled so I'm calling that a win for january :p

Paint my first ever miniature army thats made up of SOB and DKOK allys ^.^

Wish me luck!

One more update for me this month I think, I doubt I'm gonna take photos of the remaining Terminator squad or Tactical squad. I did what I can to change them up from the original models but man... only so much to do with the Dark Vengeance models

http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/0/491750.page#5218296

Annnnnnnnnd here's the chart:


An actual goal/progress chart for the month:
1. Sisters Repentia 9/9 - Complete
2. Tactical Squad 1 - 10/10 - Complete
3. Tactical Squad 2 - 0/10 - In work, first color 10/10, second color 5/10
4. Veterans - 6/6 - Complete
5. Mortis Dreadnought - Complete
Extra credit goals:
6. Venerable Dreadnought w/ all weapons options - Complete
7. Terminator Squad 1 5/5 - Complete
8. Special Characters 2/4

I don't have the DA Codex in front of me (or at all...) but I have painted all added 1140 points this month, give or take some change for the Venerable Dread's various weapon arms.

If I get my final squad of tactical Marines done I'll be rounding it out to 1335 points and roughly half my DA army, much more then half of the models. All that will be left are the Chapter Master, Librarian, 5 bikes and an attack bike.

I did however fail this month my friends. I had said I was done. That I wasn't going to buy any more models till I finished painting my two DFG Leviathans.... nope. I'd like to welcome my Necron force to the fold, my first and seriously this time simply based on storage space, last army.

That is not to say the present ones won't expand however

3. prime them all, and then take them apart to paint in pieces.
4. actually wait 1-2 weeks for my paints, 3 plastic battlewagons+upgrade packs to arrive.
5. clip plastic battlewagons+upgrade pack of sprue, clean with hobby knife. build them and drill pin holes for magnetized parts and possible joints that need it and prime them.
6. as mentioned in 3. when paints get here, paint!
7. post pics of finished army for all to see!

Done

Well, my WE Glade Riders are 2/3 done, in that the riders themselves are done but the steeds are not. I have to say that I spent way more time on them than I usually would, but I got really into the layering effects.

I will likely invest too much time in the steeds as well, but looking forward to putting them on the table and getting some feedback...

1) Finish assembling my 1500pt Ravenwing Army
2)basecoat said army and begin painting
3) plan expansions to deathwing army
4) research airbrushing

In theory 1 and 2 should be done by the end of the week....I hope

Great job everyone!

February's thread is up now!

YAYAYAYAY!

I did . . .

NOTHING!

Even though my goal was to paint a single miniature. I'm terrible, I know.

For shame! You must now make 20 gajillion sacrifices to the painting and modeling gods to avoid their wrath of 'too thick' primer and excessive mold lines!

Its okay, the only goal I completed was have a great birthday.

I did other things, but nothing for my goals.
