Do we post it when we are done? or on sunday / weekend ?

Whenever you get done between Friday Saturday or Sunday. I will make a thread on friday and you can post your pics on it when your done. There will be a link on this thread to the picture thread. This thread will stay dedicated to updates and goals.

Ok ! Great I'm done with Lurtz , just gonna make a massive base for him . Hes gonna be display only so im putting him on a big one

What is YOUR status ?

I am currently behind I have my techmarine done and only 2 assault marines haha. I have been stalling by playing WoW... Someone needs to hit me really hard and get me back on schedule D: I need to get my air brush working and Id be more likely to work harder if I did Wheres everyone else at in their painting/modeling goals for the week? Hopefully people are doing more like gretar and less like me

I really need to get my nids done and dusted (they've been primed for about two months now....)
I've basically got :

Broodlord (painted)
16 genestealers (half done)
Dakkafex
Gunfex
16 termies
16 spinies
6 warriors
might paint my hormagaunts but there never on my lists

Now listen... Ive got a bit of a confession... I'm only using three paints, one of which is actually wood varnish... im dipping...
as you can see i am EXTREMELY lazy considering ive picked the quickest method of painting and ive still not scratched the surface...
but by the end of this thread i think i might be able to do it! and i can try out actually POSTING pictures, which would be awesome.

i think i will do my stealers by the weekend. looking forward to the weekend

EDIT: Ive just had a revalation! Since its half term, rather than doing my genestealers, ill keep them for next week and finish up my plauge bearer deathstar unit with my really not very well made paliquin, considering it was my first any thing with greenstuff (not including gap filling ect.) but it depends wether or not i can afford to get some black prime :L

Sounds aromasin! Just send me a PM with your goal for this week (or next week since its already wed) and Ill add you to the list!

My status:

Earlier this week the boys had most of their skin and clothes put on (just need some highlights). Today, I picked out the leather straps on about half of them. If you've never painted orks, this is one of the most frustrating things about them! Anyway, goal for tomorrow is to finish up the leather on the rest of the boys and pick out the silver buckles, emblems, and armor plates. That just leaves the weapons (some of which are done), some highlighting and washing.

Piece of cake!

Also, got my camera today! I ended up going with a Canon. Don't recall what model (got it right before coming to work this evening), but I do know that it is 10 MP. I'm pretty excited about it

I have the 3 sents built except for the pilot and cage bars. Just need to paint the cab before I glue em in. I finished a squad of guard while waiting for the glue to set, I greatly dislike working with resin.

Next week's goals will be paint 2 LRBT.

p.s. Where/When do I post pics if any? (Reminds me, I gotta get a new SD card, last one is in the warp somewhere...)

Mold lines ! I had to scrape away most of the freehand i did on my Lurtz becouse there whas a huge moldine running through it ! Damn ..

It's like my models are cursed . God gives me a good time and then at the final steps faith steps in and destroyes everything !

I updated the the original post a few days ago about how we are doing pictures. Im going to PM everyone currently appart of the project and let them know too though

Don't mention mould lines, I thought I had cleaned these old war walkers, the paint from years and years ago wasnt too bad, so decided to just respray em.
Mould lines, places where glue clumped, really tempted to just strip em down right now. But decided soldier on, get them playable with a (my) gaming standard paintjob and restrip and repaint after a load of other stuff is done including 3 new style walkers

On a side note as I'm getting a little sick of eldar (a load done to my gaming standard the past couple of weeks) whats the rules on 2 projects as I'm tempted to restart a WHFB army.

Puggy im done , do i post it here? or what do i do with it?

How do you want to be addressed ( too lazy to type the whole thing! )

I can do tutorial , ( do i post that here? and do i post the pic here with the tutorial? now or friday? )

I'd like to be in, but my wife and I just bought our first home. We're moving this weekend, so everything has to get packed up until then. I'm definitely in for next week, however. I have a ton of genestealers, blood angels, and guardsmen begging to be painted!

What ever works luna. Buttler... puggy... that one guy... tis all good! And uhh I guess post the tutorial with the picture on Friday when I put up the weekly picture thread... this way people can look at the pictures while they read it

FoxPheonix135: Just PM your goal for next week and Ill add you! Good luck with the new home btw!

So far Ive got about 6 finished and im heading up to my GW today and tommorow for some games and a tourney (with ogres... dear god...) so I should be able to do some painting before and after (If I get the time...)

Oh, and i may have a slight problem. My camera isn't the best so I'm going to borrow my neighbours, but if I cant it may be low quality...

I am just starting to get a decent paint scheme for my orks... just need to paint some skin but i can't until i get the paint.... :(

ok im done with my men, and ive started my sentinel yes thats right people, im AHEAD of schedule my only problem atm is that my guard need to be based....and i dunn how im gonna do it...

My curse of dove weaving kicked in because I'm really not happy with my walkers just now and started my jetbikes...
I'm a bad puppy :(
But the 3 walkers should be done for he weekend at least, learned my lesson for the future. If I'm going to do a good job tackle 1 vehicle from the squadron at a time

I only just found this thread, but I really need some incentive to get some painting done, i'm horribly slow and not great at it .

I'm going to give it a go for next week (i might go start now to give myself a cheeky little head start)

but i WILL have 10 guardsmen done by then, and maybe my CCS if im feeling really up for it!

I started today before the tourney and guess what! There was a 12 person turn out (which is unusual for Fantasy) and it dragged on so all ive done is painted two stealers red...awkward... so i might end up with only 8 rather than the original 16 I was planning

Ok everyone, its sunday so if you havent posted your picture on the other thread, try to get some pics and post it on there! I know alot of people werent able to finish cause they started half way through the week or stuff came up so just keep at it!

And remember to PM you week 2 goal if you havent already! Thanks for being apart of this everyone! Cant wait to see more stuff!

Heres the current Week 1 thread so you can post your pictures, C&C on others work, etc- http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/263275.page

Please change my goal to 2 vets and a ratling , i dont have enought time since im going on a two day school trip starting tomorrow ..

Hey Butler, should I post my goal for Week 2 here, since it is Tuesday...if i can then make it "Heavy Bolter and Las-Cannon Devestators".

Updated it for both you
Im still missing alot of Week2 from people so if the people who see their Week 2 Goal Missing from the OP post on this thread or send me a PM so I can update it!

Alot of people didnt post their work on the picture thread D: However I can understand if people didnt finish/had stuff come up... I know a bunch of people started mid week so that might be why, but Week 2 Pic thread will be up on friday so watch for it and post you stuff!
