HQ's, elites, heavy's and other are all painted. However it's that barrel of 150 boyz I cannot build the motivation to paint, I stopped dead after the first 50.

100% I never field anything unpainted. I'm THAT anal about presenting my models.

Hm, about 20% counting models, not points.

Good news is that at least my fantasy armies are fully playable with the painted minies at 1000 pts.

I'd say about 40%, I'm a bit of a compulsive buyer so I have far too many to paint. I've started to catch up now though, not buying any more until I've painted what I've got

Unfortunately, I collect faster that I can paint! I also horde bits for future projects. On top of that, painting "burnout" slows me down.

Always field a painted army in any tourney. Sometimes field wip armies for practice with new stuff in friendly games.

I don't assemble models until they're close to finished. Each part is painted as I go.

Somewhere around 45%

I got about 90% of my space wolf stuff done and after that is my orks which around 99% of them still needs painting.

OH CRAP! I forgot about my Road Kill, Warmachine, and Hoards armies....and my fantasy...ok so about 15% of my models are painted.
Because I also have Lizardmen and Dwarfs from Fantasy Warhammer.

It takes sooooo long for me to paint my models. Lots of them are just partially painted

I confess!!! only about 30% are complete! (starts sobbing)

100% - I do them as I get them, kinda disciplining myself so that I don't get too many and never get round to them
That said, I do have an incredibly simple and fast paint scheme... Necrons own

Of my assembled models? Very high. prolly close to 90%. Of course that doesn't include the horde of unassembled Night Goblins I have I have, or the two boxes of AoBR Orks I have (that at this point I'm considering just selling). Plus a handful of misc.

I'm getting there though! And managing (sort of) to keep my purchases to a minimum until I make more progress. (Damn you AoW slayers).

I've got a lot of kroot to paint but my other stuff is mostly done.

I never game with unpainted models because that's heresy
and right now, I'm not working on much either so I'm pretty much done with everything

Yeah I completely agree, I never game without having EVERYTHING painted but as far as my collection goes, theres about 20% actually finished and the rest in random states of progress. Anything I had painted was stripped and restarted. I just cannot stop tinkering with everything.

Around about 40%...

I am OCD about painting models, I will not field incomplete or unpainted models. I just love the feeling of satisfaction when you set down a nicely painted force, Pride is a Sin but I don't believe in all that religious guff so I will continue to strive to take pride in my mini's and improve my painting.

Around 90 %

I voted somewhere between 1-20% as a conservative answer. I'm actually a lot closer with my orks though. I painted most of the boyz over the summer.

100% as i assemble and paint each model before moving on to the next one

Too the 6% or so that are 100% done. My hat is off to you.

3000ish points of CSM including Lucius the enternal 2 daemon princes termie lord, termie sorc, jump lord, a couple of raptors (need more models there) 3 bikes, 5 termies, 6 chosen with rhino, 3 squads of ten noise marines with rhinos, anouther squad of ten that i havnt got a rhino for, soulgrinder (counts as defiler), predator, land raider, obliterator and a few odd models that never really found a place in the army.

(100%)

I tend to paint everything I field ingame. Right now I do have a Guardian squad and a War Walker un-primed but I've never used them in a list either.

This week has been a bit of a painting spree, finishing off everything that was previously base-coated. I can now field 3000pts of 'nids or Eldar fully painted.

21-30%. I'm in the midst of a full-on painting tear atm for an upcoming tourney next sat, and everything has to be painted and based. In all fairness I like to take my time painting for a couple of reasons. Firstly, I like to do a good job. Secondly, it helps in the lean times to have stuff on the to-do list painting wise, or else you sit around feeling sorry for yourself because you can't run out and buy anything, and everything you have is painted. After this weekend I'll have 20 pink horrors left in various stages of painting and a squad of unpainted berserkers. I should get those done as well before Thanksgiving, bringing me right up to what I'm calling "Predator Buying Time".

I have a LRC needing another coat of green on the armour and the rest of the details done there and a Pred still in the box.

My vote: 86-99%

I buy up armies faster than I could ever paint them. I've got 10 different army paint schemes going right now, and that's just 40k. I've got a ton of warmahordes stuff to get around to(maybe) , blood bowl (4 teams) and infinity.

99% - Just finishing off my squad of 'ard boyz. I dont get more stuff till i've finished painting what i've got.

86-99%
I think, I didn't count and do the math

9 tactical and 4 assault marines left to paint. I do the sergeants first... never learned the whole delayed gratification thing.

I would say since I have Orks. About 20% of mine. I got a fully painted SW and a ton of reaper models but a whole 1000 point Eldar army, about 120 boyz and tons of nobs and lootas and burna and stuff.
Plus I keep buying MORE. I also have other reapers I have not painted. Some Hero Quest Models I got with some strange really old fantasy dark elves and some horse models with guys on it that does not look like any GW model I ever seen unpainted and now I gotta Commission paint some Tau for my store AND some Confederate Calvary Soldiers for a customer.

AND I am building some Terrain for a table. Basically a set in table piece of terrain.

I used to buy stuff in small parts, a squad, a character or a vehicle. Paint it up and move on to the next.

With my current project, Sisters of Battle, I used Ebay a lot so ended up with quite a bit of unpainted waiting for me. All the rest of my collection is painted though. I would never use an unpainted model it just doesn't feel right.

I try to keep at 100%. I feel like an absolute piece of playing with non complete models.
