Heyo heyo!

Good googly moogly its July already!

What are your plans for mid year? Anyone gearing up for Apoc for 40k? Getting those Line Kazaks finished up for Infinity? Working on your platoons for FoW? What? What? What?

I'm hoping to get on the miniatures wagon again and get some Infinity models worked on... or at least one... a foxtrot ranger, an SAS guy, or a Vet kazak. I'm taking it slow because I'm playing Mass Effect 1 for the Quadrilionth time ( I <3 Ashley Williams).

PEACE AND LOVE! (or DEATH AND DESTRUCTION if you like)

Frank

I plan to get atleast 15 more of my Sons of Horus painted up this month, assuming the models arrive some time soon!

That's one of the factors keeping my goal small this month... I don't even know if my stuff will come in by mid July haha.

I'm making no promises, but as I want to get my 46 model corporation box set done by xmas in time for my massive pile of Deadzone, I intend to paint as much of those this month as possible. I've got 12/46 down and 3 about half-done, but not a lot of time with which to work.

Do not tempt me with this mass effect 1 of which you speak! Forget ashley, I'd rather soldier up myself, add in a sweet power from finishing as another class and its nowhere near boring... and a double modded assault rifle can be just nasty later on. Or I guess add in the assault rifle to one of the support classes and have powers galore. And ofcourse you can "overclock" a sniper rifle to redline on a single shot but usually OHK to the head etc... GAH. Why for did you make me nostalgic!

2,000 points of khorne daemons.
All lined up and assembled now, just finished removing mould lines.

Should really plod away at this since this is going to be a suicidal month trying to get it all done and done right.

My main goal is to get everything packed up and moved safely to Massachusetts.

Secondary is to get things set up here, but that may take awhile. The lady friend gave me permission to turn the spare room in our new apartment into the mancave!

Tertiary is finish the valkyries while I am home in Minnesota. Should be pretty easy, but it is not important at this point.

Finish my Sons of Medusa Land Raider and finish 10 of my tactical squad.

modest goal this month:

- paint up biker captain and command squad

there's a good chance I'll be packing and/or moving near the end of the month, so I doubt I'll get much done beyond that.

Join the fight against Sovereign! The Traverse needs you! Again!

the other 9 models of my tac squad 1 for my imp fist which include a plasma cannon and gun, base them and hopefully get my hands on one of these 0.5 pen things to do the oathes gw love putting on legs (kind of cheating as the sergeant is already done

At least get 1 platoon painted

Base 5 CSM Terminators, finish up 3 Chaos Marines left, Swapping an Defilers weapons. Next to that buy the Chaos biker set to model it further with greenstuff and paint it up. All that in about 2 weeks for a Apocalypse game. The 40 cultist is a thing for next month I guess, as I want to continue with my Tyranid Tervigon or Vostroyan squad.

If real life doesn't screw me big time:

- finish Njal Stormcaller, 5 Grey Hunters and Rhino for a friend.
- hopefully paint my first Infinity model.
- Night Scythe

- Bonus point: practice and learn wet blending!

Edit: 3 down, even with Steam Sales ruining my painting time Wet blended practice on NS too, it's a start.
Rhino is gonna be impossible but I hope I'm completing the Infinity model one!
Well, on my first vow only failed one of them, not too bad!

I plan on finishing up the Eldar I have and painting / buying a fire prism.

My goal for the month is to paint up the interior of the Landraider Crusader on my desk, so that I can finish building it an begin on the exterior.

Also to finish my Last Chancers squad, I started them last month, got busy with overtime at work. (Something that might get in the way this month too)

If i get this far... theres tonnes of Ravenwing bikes for me to paint, and 50+ orks to build(deciding on conversions and customisation ideas at this point). ...We'l not talk about the other stuff in my queue for now ...its a fairly long list.

Finish my Judge Dredd Apr Gang (5 to go) and start on the Judges (about 15 lined up in the queue). I'd be happy to get 10 of them finished on top of the Apes.

Find some nice resin bases that would do for apocalyptic wasteland so that I can base my Cursed Earth forces from Judge Dredd for August's painting.

Ever get the impression that Kickstarter projects can take over your focus?

finish more than one DA Tactical Marine, I have a genuine problem painting anything that isn't a fancy character

Feeling pumped after managing to get all of my tanks assembled and primed! Now I need to take a break from the large-scale stuff and have some fun with an actual paintbrush in my hand.

>>>>>NOTE: these pics are for your reference, they are not my painting work!

I picked up these "Zeppelin Crew" models from Pulp Figures to use as Imperial Navy officers and ship's crew

A Psyker squad

Plus some resistance fighters from Statuesque that are going to be "counts as" IG Veterans and part of the Kill Team series we'll be having at the FLGS this summer



And this OOP "Kitzie Rama" fig that I am going to do just for fun, maybe create a small vignette or diorama...

and finally the LAST NINE MODELS in my Tallarn army that remain to be painted!!

3 Vox, 3 Flamers, 2 Plasma Gunners and a guardsman with a demo charge

37 models in all.

I'm hoping to get two squads of deathwing terminators and MAYBE Belial done. I have a grant for some research I'm doing through UW-Madison and my University, so I will be on the road a lot and won't have a ton of time to sit and paint.

The closest thing I can offer as a vow is finishing last months vow. Too much work in front of me this month to be able to even think about focusing on painting.

I'm going to work on some eldar with the fiancee. Going for 25 wraithguard before my wedding at the end of the month.
Also want to make my blog/WIP more interesting! Maybe even get some actual comments!

Ive got to fully build/paint up these 80 mantic zombies i just bought and get GW bases for em, also to finish up my plague marines, and finally get some raptors and oblits or maybe a helldrake for my army! maybe some daemon allies.

Hopefully get at least one unit a week painted, plus finish my landraider

Finish applying transfrs to my Tau.
Finish clear coating my tau.
get my display board made.

Dang it! My models arrived... now I have to fulfill my vow... I mean... YAY MY MODELS ARE HERE LET THE WORK BEGIN!!!!

So my vow technically started on around the 22nd of June but my goal is to complete my 2000 point Necron force by Monday July 8th. So far, I'm n pretty good shape, but I only have tonight and tomorrow night left. Progress in my signature link!

I'll have one beautifully painted chaos rhino by the end of the month...most of my models have paint just quickly put on....but the rhino shall shine above all...then a chaos land raider by next month

Or actually ill have the raider then the rhino.

I want to build and paint two Reaper Bone miniatures- Giant Worm!! start small then go big!!

Get my 10 cataphractii terminators together and primed.
Finish up my pre heresy rhino/whirledwind plastic card pattern.
Start on the stormeagle… if it ever shows up…

Seeing as the first part of the month was taken up with moving to a new apartment and I was STILL able to kitbash and paint two Ork ICs, I'd say I'm doing OK. But since weekend scheduling means I won't be able to play in any games until August anyway...

I would like to finish the last 10 Evil Sunz boys that make up my main 30-strong Boyz Mob. That would leave another 30-boy mob to paint, a 20-boy Death Skullz allied mob, 9 grots and a Trukk, and everything I own is painted. That looks like a lot to do on paper... :(
