Finish painting the Ultramarines, and Sob I have had sitting around my work stations for the last two years, I will not purchase a new model till they are done.. well that and Shadowsun... that was an xmas present.

I assuming this is not a I have x to paint, but a realistic goal. So far in the last week and half I have painted 3 war Walkers, A Falcon, and almost finish (by Friday) a Dire Avenger Squad.

Next will be three more War Walkers, then finish the LR Crusader for the Blood Angels, as well as the 3 squads of Termies.

January goal accomplished + finished off a Baneblade. Now to get ready for my February goals

Ok, I have been very lax at painting, and I need to post here to keep myself going!

January was mostly assembly (and priming due to the thaw that allowed me to sprayprime outdoors), though I did manage to put together a lot:

Skorne: battlebox, pMorghoul, eMorghoul, Agonizer, Paingiver Beast Handlers, Paingiver Bloodrunners, Paingiver Master Tormentor, Titan Bronzeback
Cryx: Darragh Wrathe, Cankerworm, Tartarus
Tyranids: Trygon, 6 Warriors (3 with ST/RC + poison, 1 ST/VC, 2 ST/DS)

The Trygon was awesome to assemble, his tail and torso joints are very easy to match up and actually provide support for the weight of the thing.

The Skorne models though...yeesh. I still have to do some micropinning to attach a hand onto each Morghoul. The Titans had such huge gaps that I resorted to big wads of greenstuff to cement them together, rather than glue. And trying to get the four-piece torso+arm+arm+sword of each of the Cyclops Savages glued together all at once (since glueing one in a slightly off position would prevent everything else from matching up) was a righteous pain. Especially since I had the wrong sword on the wrong arms the first time around (both Cyclops were in the battlebox, so parts from both were all mixed up in there). Darragh (dismounted) had a similar positioning issues with his two separate arms and scythe.

Painting: Figured out my scheme for the Daughters of the Flame finally, and put most of the base colours on.

I really want to start painting up my Tyranids, but I need to clear my painting desk first. So I need to:
1) Finish the base colours on the Daughters, then highlight them, pSeverius, Vassal, Reclaimer solo.
2) Finish base colours and highlight 7 Imperial Guardsmen that I started before Xmas

Conversions to do:
1) Finish properly magneting the VCs and STs for two Carnifexes
2) do an arm swap to make a left-handed VC and left-handed BS for my Harpy conversion (from a Red Terror + plastic Dragon Wings - was originally going to be a Winged Tyrant), and magnet up all the arms. Probably attach some of the extra spikes from the Trygon sprues to the Terror's head or torso to represent the other Harpy weapon (the Assault 4 spine thing).
3) Make my two spore pods (from two halves of a 5"-diameter dollar-store globe + greenstuff + the tentacle/sphincter and maw bits from two sets of Maccrage sprues).

Should really finish the painting by the end of the month, but I know I'm going to want to do the conversions instead...

Lets see how I did, eh?
