Hi folks! What's on the menu this month?

For me it's to finish painting an Ork Boy... get started on a Space Marine Bike... and then maybe paint up some Space Wolves Terminators.

I want to finish painting my enforcer starter for Deadzone. I've only got five done so far, so seven more to go.

Finish up my current handful of orks, consisting of half a dozen boyz and a magnetized orkanaught.
Of course, that was my goal for last month and I got one whole Loota done....

Finish my first squad of guardians (4 done currently) and then make a start on my other two windriders

Start and finish the Jetbike Autarch for the monthly competition.
Finish the VV arms and jump packs on the bench, so I can check those two guys off the to-do list
Finish the TLLC and MM arms for the Ven dread, to reduce the backlog of spare weapons that is always accumulating.

Choose and paint at lest two more minis, preferably Eldar. Or paint the WS. I’d like to keep momentum up on that army project.

Paint my 5 tac marines
Paint my 4 new honor guard

I'd like to get the rest of my Sedition Wars minis paint-ready, but I doubt I'll get that far. I have about 15 out of 50 done, so far, so I'll say... doubling that sounds reasonable. This month, I'll at least knock out the rest of the smaller Strain gribblies and Vanguard troopers, leaving only the fiddlier special characters and big beasties left to take my time on.

I want to finish my Space Hulk Termi and assemble and paint my Genestealers, using mostly my airbrush for the Genestealers, went the layering route with a brush for the Termi.

I have been in the 40K modeling hobby for three full months now and have yet to completely paint a single model. I get discouraged and frustrated when I see an image in my head and it fails to flow through to what Im doing. I have models assembled and painting started but yet to finish a paint job so Im vowing to finish at least ONE model and SHOW my work when completed. Im hoping to have time today to finish a terminator I finally broke down and got serious with last night. If I do get it done look for a new blog from me. Maybe that will help me by getting advice and criticism on my work.

I think of painting as taking the potential of an awesome build, and reducing it into a mediocre finished work. It’s easy to be critical of your own work, but if you keep plugging away you will get better. You can always strip and re-do your early work. Or just move on to paint the next thing better.

Might paint something. Maybe. What've I got round here anyway? Man it's dusty.

I want to finish my Raptors for this month's painting contest. I also want to finish assembling all my Chaos models for my Khorne army. Hopefully I can get the raptors done by the middle of the month and spend the rest of the time painting something else. Still trying to kick the electronic crack habit (aka video games) which gets in the way of my painting and modelling.

I refuse to believe April has ended. Nope.

Paint 12 BSS, 1x Flamer, 1x HF, 8x Melta, 1 SS with power sword, 5 Seraphim including 2x Hand Flamer Girls and convert a superior, and 4x HB.

I get the feeling this isn't going to be happening..... Maybe this thread'll shame me into painting.

I know EXACTLY what you mean. I have Gamefly and if I got rid of that it would mean 1 more model I could buy a month but the habits too old and great. LOL

To Finish my current Ronin Force and complete either another Ronin Force or a Fist full of Kung Fu force.

Paint two five man units of Skitarii vanguard And maybe another Dragoon, Onanger or 10 ork shoota boyz.

finally finish my 10 wracks, raider and old finecrap archon. Probably won't happen tho, but hey, thats whats summers for.

I have an Ork Warboss Boar Rider (I think).... I bought it years ago, I cannot find any pictures of the miniature online and its the only Fantasy minature I have ever bought just because it looked cool as a teen

Any how, I plan to finish it up this week, any suggestions on where to post the results to see who in the community might be able to ID the minature?

My vow would be my Khorne Lord Of Skulls. I already have primer and basecoat. I would like to have it done at the end of the month.

What I should do is finish off my 3 man MMG team for my Bolt Action army. It's the only thing left for my core 500pts.

What I want to do is put some effort into getting at least 1 crew fully painted for my Malifaux Gremlins.

What will likely happen is I will play a game of Hordes at the weekend and then feel like painting up some Trollbloods even though I promised myself they where further down the queue.

I vow to get 5 rangers and 10 vanguard painted, and then to start my firedrake terminators.

1) Finish the 6 tomb blades that have already taken me 2+ weeks
2) Build my second Ghost Ark and magnetize it for Doomsday Ark usage
3) Start on my Praetorians if there's time left this month

Vow was achieved!
