It's not a race! I aim to paint 20 hours a week!
That's one good thing about no events/no commissions. I'm on the fence about attending the NOVA GT this year... I have a friend that wants me to go but I'm far too rusty
Gameplan for the Warriors:
- Higher quality than the Carnifex Quality which was a bit low
- Each one is slightly different but has about the same loadout
- I'm not using the meta 2x Bonesword options on the warriors since I don't think the bitz look good. Scyth Tal + Deathspitter and some VCs
- Metal old Warriors are going to be the heavy weapon Warriors
- Prime is a converted Metal tyrant Guard from 3rd edition - I'll build him tomorrow

This is a time sink indeed. I spent 20 hours easily on these so far... mostly cleaning mold lines and stripping paint.
I want to 100% finish them before Friday. It'll be cutting it close

I burned out on painting bugs, I didnt finish 3 carnifexs, 6 raveners, 40 termagants, 1 more tyrant, the warrior prime and a few others but I'm not going to unless I need to bring them for a game.
I took some bad photos by accident. I messed up my camera settings I assume after looking at them

New cultists aren't my style at all.
Blood Pact / Vraks Renegades are. I started this project about 4 years ago and it's a fun project since I can paint it dirty

Yes, renegades! They are also really great for doing conversion work, as their rag-tag nature lends them just as well as orks for using anything to fight.
Your bronkorpus tank looks great even before paint

I assume I'll grab the new cultists and mix them in. I can technically play Guard and the new Traitors!
This is the next big big project
At one point I'll build an extension to my 40k board but for now I think I'll cruise through a few small armies
These are the test models...
The Baron’s Brigade
A Traitor Guard Army for Warhammer 40,000
This regiment is part of the Blood Pact assigned to the leader of the brigade, the Baron. The Baron is a short-served position within the Brigade due to how often these champions of Khorne die in the field. It’s rare to see the current Baron not leading the push into the enemy’s front lines. Dozens of Barons are elevated during every campaign the Baron’s Brigade has been involved with. After the 4th Jupairian regiment was routed on Herron IV the remaining survivors drank the blood that rained upon the world after the forces of the Iron Warriors and the World Eaters Chaos Space Marines conquered the planet after a swift campaign. Barely an eighth of the survivors were rounded up and conscripted into the newly formed Baron’s Brigade to assist Khorne in future campaigns. The survivors were well fed and given blood signed contracts. A heated haze surrounded the men as if they were in a jungle. Their inner animalistic nature was brimming at the rim. This was held at bay by their cruel masters. The Red Command ruled with absolute authority. Mistakes were met with death. Honorable or not; the blood debt was paid.
The Baron’s Tactics
The Brigade is comprised of 4 wings. These wings are each an element of a combined assault plan. Their Khorne masters do not simply throw the Blood Pact into the meat grinder. That is for his lesser minions and the religious masses. The Baron’s Brigade serves the Blood Pact by being an effective spearhead into Imperial lines.
Red Command
3 Commissars models~
Command Squad with Flag Vraks~
Melta Command Squad?
Commander with a Command Squad in 1 Chimera
Stracken/Yarrick for fun?
Baronguard
30 in 3 Chimeras with 3 Missile Launchers and 3 Plasma Guns
30 Infantry with 3 Heavy Bolters
6 Mortar Teams (Fun unit, I had the models)
Volition Corps
3 Leman Russ Demolishers
2 Leman Russ
1 Manticore
Burndogs... not really planned out yet
Hellhounds? 1 Sentinel?
I'd want to paint this in 3 phases. Handle the test models above, then crush through the tanks all at once, and finish with the infantry at the end. I can probably do it starting now in May to finish by July 4th if I plan it out correctly.

Going with Black Hoods, Green Googles, and I'm unsure of the gun color. I was going to go with a VERY weathered white or green

Cool looking cultists! Also, I know it's not supposed to be the focal point of the shot, but really good work on the veins on the psyker's head. Really solid effect.

Would go black guns to tie it with their hoods, and since they already have many colors.

Black Guns Black Hoods is the plan sir! The Black Hood + Green Lenses is a cool idea I like. Burned out with painting a bit now but I'll get into it this week.
99 models so far this year since January

I got a small mini commission ahead! It's some photo backdrops for an OSR / Older D&D homebrew rulebook. Basically the rules writer in the project is the sculptor for a set of minis. I'll add some terrain for photography backdrops for the book. I've purchased some terrain crate stuff.
I had some hobby burn out with the Traitor Guard project so that is on the backburner. The good news is that 80 or so infantry are built and the I only have 2 unbuilt vehicles. Whenever I do return to the project I just have to prime and start painting.
To get my mojo back I want to work on 3 short term projects now:
1) Iron Hands Vindicator
2) The Dungeon Backdrop mini commission mentioned above
3) Sci Fi Medical Building (A large 3 story hospital type building) with a massive footprint. Centerpiece LOS blocking terrain
The final "Summer Project" is going to involve the 4x4 extension to my table to make it a 12x4 or a 6x8. It's 2 mostly flat 2x4 tiles. During this I will also create a walled fortress piece as some of my graffiti wall terrain was damaged recently. I'll use the damage pieces and kitbash a new LOS blocking piece.
I SHOULD be painting minis but right now I sort of only want to paint terrain. I'll try and do a squad or a tank per month. The gaunts burned me good

Thanks! Yeah had nearly 2 months off. Had years of productivity grind to a halt. Got a few games in and my necks a bit better. Current work queue:
Short Term
1) Iron Hands Vindicator
2) The Dungeon Backdrop mini commission shown above
Warhammer 40,000 Projects that are in various states of completion:
- A Khorne related Traitor Guard army (Unsure on the scheme; lack of motivation)
- World Eaters with the new Codex
- Inquisition Ordo Hereticus with Grey Knight Allies ( IG/Stormtroopers with GK Allies)
- Warhound Titan (Chaos)
Terrain Plans:
- A large 3 story ruined medical building
- More line of sight blocking sci fi structures for my table. Considering MDF terrain
- Add a 4x4 section to my table
Absolute Backburner Projects 2023:
- D&D Projects (I'm not a DM right now and play in another group. If I DM again I have 100+ minis to paint)
- MageKnight metals + army painters edition 100 Models~
- Age of Sigmar Chaos
- Tyranids: 6 Raveners, Harridan, Hierophant, Malanthrope, Rippers, Gaunts, OOE, Carnifex Magnetized x3, Tyrants. (I'll paint these as I need them for events)
