**Dysartes**

Thanks, Chaoticredneck.

Time to finally get around to posting my work for September.

Circle Orboros - Solo - Sentry Stone & Mannikins
2012 Completed Figures: 44

Cygnar - Unit - 6 Stormguard
2012 Completed Figures: 50

I also managed to get a couple of posts up on my blog recently as well - I'm aiming at keeping this updated every week, but we'll see how long that lasts this time. Recent updates are:
30/09/2012 - Invading Mantic Towers - Photodump - A selection of pictures from my trip to Mantic HQ
07/10/2012 - When is gold not gold? - Looking at how I paint gold without using gold paint

**Dysartes**

I painted my balls...

Two metal Dreadballs - I'm only counting them as one figure, though.
2012 Completed Figures: 51

**weetyskemian44**

Nice balls. Some kind of sport-based game I'm guessing.

You beat me I only did 46. But the year isn't over yet!!

**Dysartes**

Yup - ready for Mantic's upcoming Dreadball release.

I've got another couple of Dwarfs almost finished, which'll get me to 53.

**monkeytroll**

What a lovely pair of shiny balls you have Dysartes.

So does this mean your painting plan for next year is the entire contents of a Striker deal?

**Dysartes**

Striker + Season 1 Completist + Season 2 Completist

Possibly Season 3 Completist as well...

Oh, and 1,000 points of KoW Orcs.

I do have an 8 man metal Corporation team that are ready for undercoat, and I'm aiming to get them done this month.

**monkeytroll**

lol.

Well I'm guessing we'll see most of yours done before we see a fraction of mine done.

**Dysartes**

Finally got the last metal Striker to stick to his base, and just stuck the metal RefBot to a base too.

Tomorrow - undercoating the Knights Arrant.

**Dysartes**

Finished the two Dwarves today that I mentioned earlier.

Firstly, Kees Headblast from Hasslefree Miniatures.

2012 Completed Figures: 52 - One per week achieved!

Secondly, Bob the Runesmith, who was the model for my gold-without-gold tutorial on my blog.

2012 Completed Figures: 53

Some would argue there's a bit of an issue with the composition of my Dwarf army at the moment, given it looks a little like this now....

Hero: Thane with Great Weapon - 65 points
Hero: Runesmith - 70 points
Hero: Master Engineer with Dwarf Handgun - 80 points
Rare: Organ Gun - 120 points
Total: 335 points (without any runes)

**monkeytroll**

Certainly makes a change from seeing horde armies

**Dysartes**

Very true, monkeytroll, but it may cause problems if/when I come to play them...

**Dysartes**

Someone is ready to officiate...

Dreadball RefBot (metal)
2012 Completed Figures: 54

**weetyskemian44**

That looks proper cool - nice paint-job! reminds me of the Bjork android in her video.

**Dysartes**

Thanks weety - fortunately, you can understand what this robot is saying when she sends someone off the pitch

**GiraffeX**

She looks really nice Dysartes, looking forward to seeing some other Dreadball minis.

**Dysartes**

Well, next up should be the unit of Slaughterhousers and statue from the Garden of Morr that're on my tray at the moment, then I think my metal Dreadball team should follow them.
