Thanks Gobert, Captain Brown and Jehan-Reznor. The yellow/black tassles seemed like a good way to get a hazard stripe effect onto the infantry without doing any freehand - sometimes laziness works!

I forgot to add another new year's goal - to paint the Marvel Crisis Protocol starter box. I bought it as a Christmas present for myself just over a year ago and It's just sat in a cupboard ever since. I decided to get started on this for this months painting challenge. Captain America is pretty much done, though will wait for the end of the month for final photos


Aside from getting Cpt done this weekend, I haven't really been in a painting mood so far this year but did get some more Iron Warriors built, a nice big block of terminators and a couple of apothecaries


Also on the painting bench are some more IW, started last year. Despoilers and Vindicator surprisingly performed well in a game last weekend so have been bumped up the painting queue as a reward. Heavy weapons squad just needs the bases finishing




Thanks for looking

Those Iron Warriors look amazing. The pink skinks and the vampire are top notch too. Loads of great updates since last I visited, nice work.

Ooh, lots going on Maharg! Cap looks great already, good luck getting the rest painted up for the comp. The new IW are coming on nicely, the Vindicators look very well used, the rusty recesses are super cool

Thanks Flapjack and Gobert.

I only managed to finish Captain America in the end for the painting challenge for a grand total of one model last month


So that means I can say I doubled my output this month with a whole 2 models! First up a goblin chariot




and an Ogre Yhetee for the painting challenge


I was planning to finish a whole unit, but didn't quite have the time. Still there was some progress on them and hopefully they'll get done this weekend. I also built a chaos knight to further distract me from any of my year's goals


It's Space Marine month in the painting challenge in March, so I expect some Iron Warriors will be gracing these pages soon as well

Cap looks rad! The old school chariot is very cool to see. A whole unit of those Yhetees will be awesome.

The Ogre Yeti is fantastic. Reminds me of whenever Ogre Kingdoms was released in WHFB. Great work with the base and the snow

A belated thanks for the comments everyone.

Carrying on the theme of the year so far, painting has been slow over the last couple of months. In March I finished off the remaining 5 yhetees



and some Iron Warriors terminators for the painting challenge


Just the one model for April


Then some friends to join him, a sorcerer and a couple of spawn this month






Up next are more reinforcements for the chaos warriors as I need to get a 2000pt army finished by early July. Given my painting speed so far this year I'm not too hopeful, but hopefully the looming deadline will spur me on. Luckily, chaos models cost a lot of points in 5th ed so there's only 20-25 models need doing

Thanks for looking

I like that purple on the Chaos models. Might pick that as a spot color for my Ravagers as well, when I get to painting them...

Loving the gold and pinkish purple, they work really well together. The pink flames on the sorcerer are really cool too. Good job getting the warriors to line up like that, it really illustrates why The Old World will have bigger bases

Wow, has it really been over half a year since my last post?
Apologies for late replies!

Thanks Gobert, I'm pleased with hoe the scheme turned out. The warriors were fairly easy to rank up, just had to make sure the weapons were upright. Thankfully I'd only built a couple 'incorrectly' when I realised this so they could fill the front rank. I'll still be using the old base sizes for my WFB models going forward, but using larger movement trays, so I can still play older editions if required

Thanks McMattila. Paints are 'Screamer Pink' highlighted up mixing more and more 'Emperors Children' in (maybe the edge highlight pink (Fulgrim Pink) in places), just in case your Ravagers are still unpainted

Great progress Maharg.

Thanks Captain

I've enjoyed looking through your blog. I'm tempted to set myself similar goals to what you did.

Thanks Syro. Goals are only useful if you stick to them - spoiler alert for the year summary, I didn't! Must try harder next year

Thanks Youwashock


Painting summary over the last 6-7 months - I got the chaos army almost finished for the event, all at least base coated/shaded which took a fair bit of effort then I got a bit burnt out on the painting front and only really managed to get a model or two done a month for the painting challenge. The hobby bug has started to bite again in December with a bit more done. First up is my entry to the painting challenge, some Burrows and Badgers minis. Made a nice change from my usual GW stuff




I also made a start on some Legions Imperialis stuff with a few bases of Solar auxilla painted up, and some more built





Not too happy with the plane, the white isn't solid enough. I just went for drybrushing over a wash, hoping for something quick, but didn't quite work. I'm going to try sponging on the first colour instead of drybrushing - that should give a more solid foundation, hopefully (I really don't want to have to paint all the details on these vehicles).

So, it's New Year's day, so that means a painting summary for the last year, so here are some pictures of the painted this year shelves in the cabinet (missing a couple of Iron Warriors who are out on campaign, well in a box in the boot of the car anyway)



There are 52 models here, so with the Iron Warriors in the boot I'm just over a model a week for last year so not too bad. Really didn't adhere to my goals list though:

- Paint more models than I buy. Don't think I've ever managed this one before! Stretch target here of painting twice what I buy.
Nope. Was probably there or thereabouts until a December splurge on Burrows and Badgers and Legions Imperialis ruined it
- More Iron warriors, get the army over 5000pts with at least 1500 being vehicles
Not even close, only a few Terminators done
- Get the ogres game ready, maybe 1500-2000pts (6th/7th ed)
Sort of a success, I now have around 1500pts of ogres, but no characters so not really game ready
- Finish off some of the things started for last year's painting challenge (Esher gang, 4 Underworlds warbands, Wood elf bloodbowl team)
Not a single model done for this one
- Enter the painting challenge every month
finally, a success!
- Update this blog more often, aim for twice a month on average
the 6 month gap preceding this post indicates I've failed here as well

Pretty poor overall, but the list was far too much for my usual painting speed so it's no surprise. I do have a small chaos army now in addition so nits not all bad. I'll have to think up a more reasonable list for this year

thanks for looking

Happy New Year Maharg and welcome back! Love the burrows and badgers minis, really nicely painted. The legions stuff looks cool, I quite like the white on the plane, but if you’re after lighter, the sponging sounds good. A white prime and grey wash might also work? Hope to see more in 2024!

Thanks for the comments Gobert, Youwashock and Captain Brown.

Only 3 days in to the year and I've already got something onto the finished shelf - a couple of test pieces for my epic space marines

Cool salamanders! You’ve got a good bit of detail for such mini minis. Epic should help get the numbers up too

Thanks Gobert. Hopefully LI will get the numbers up as I'm more than a little behind on my paint more than I buy goal!

Its amazing how quickly the painting bug can leave me. Having painted the mini marines, I was feeling in a good painting mood. Then I decided that I was going to paint some Skaven for the painting challenge and agreed to paint up a couple of Gaslands vehicles for a friend's gaming afternoon, but wasn't feeling either of them (I wanted to get on with some Burrows and Badgers). Motivation drained away fast, those models keeping me away from the painting bench for most of January, only returning to quickly knock out a couple of night goblins for the painting challenge at the end of the month, the skaven banished back to the pile of shame.

Having been postponed once, the Gaslands deadline was looming mid Feb which forced me to finally finish them. Sort of. The initial plan was to add a load of flame patterns to them but I ran out of time. I also noticed the the sidecar driver isn't wearing a helmet as I initially thought, so for now has dyed his skin and hair blue which will need fixing. I'm calling them done for now but may revisit them later on


With those cars out of the way the hobby bug bit again with building some reinforcements for my old world chaos and a few orcs for the painting challenge



Up next
- building more old world chaos to get last year's 2000pt 5th ed army up to 2000pts in old world points
- I enjoyed paiting up the orcs for the challenge so I have stripped the next 6 ready for a repaint, need some mould lines removing first
- the painting challenge theme this month is Space Marine, so I think some progress on LI is in order

Glad you are getting the mojo flowing again, Maharaj. The Gaslands vehicles look cool, even with the explained shortcuts. These old Orcs, too. Shout out for the mini Marines from earlier. Your LI force is going to be amazing.

Very cool updates Maharg. The colors on both the fantasy and 40k models are really popping.

The bug may be fleeting, but those Orcs & Goblins are lush! Really great work, looking forward to seeing more of them!
