Boy Howdy y'all! June is here!

What are your hobby plans for this month?

I'm looking to get the following started and finished:

5x Space Marine Assault Terminators with Lightning Claws
A Space Marine Librarian with Staff and book
A Space Marine Captain (The Lord Executioner model... dude with a Jump Pack and axe)
A Space Marine Terminator Chaplain
Dannon Blyth and Bull (Warmachine Mercenary models)

You folks got anything cool on the workbench?

I'm currently trying my best to come up with a somewhat unique paint scheme for Grey Knights. I like the original scheme, but I prefer making my own because that way I can say "Hey, those are MY Grey Knights".

I'm trying to finish building all my Khorne Daemonkin stuff. Only 2 kits left to assemble (a Rhino and a squad of Raptors).
I'm also doing a Helbrute for the monthly painting competition.
As if that weren't enough, I'm also painting some Bloodletters and planning to start assembling and painting a Soul Grinder (gonna build and paint that in sub-assemblies).
See my P&M blog for info on my progress: http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/647095.page

Anyone start on their goals? I might be changing mine because of the impending new codex for Astartes that's coming.

I'm going to...
Finish and bedazzle my Leman Russ.
Get the Camo cloak idea perfected on my Tanith (gathering the materials has taken months).
Paint the fething Tanith before any more turn up.

SELECTED: DENTRICA I OF M
ENGAGE NEURAL CONGRESS – WIRELESS AUTOSHUNT ACQUIRED
UPLOADING… + BATTLE MANIPLE 7813 +

I have been stockpiling AdMech models since the releases began. My initial goal is to build a basic core battle maniple of:

Skitarii Vanguard x10
Skitarii Rangers x10
Sicarian Ruststalkers x5
Sicarian Infiltrators x5
Sydonian Dragoons x3
Onager Dunecrawlers x2

I am still debating on a colour scheme. Classic Mars seems to be all the rage, and the others like Lucius and Metalica just aren't convincing me. I almost considered a Marvin the Martian scheme except it was simply too red and green, although the Alphas helmet crests would make the image perfect.

I have seen Skitarii painted in almost every primary color and they all look good but... any ideas or suggestions?

If I were painting Skitarii, I'd probably go with a dirty look... as much metallics as I can use 'dirtied' up with washes or shades... for the non-metal parts maybe tans or browns?

Actually, I might have to buy me some Skitarii and experiment myself.

I like to get my Lord Of Skulls finished. The problem is the Witcher 3 it taking up a ton of my time.

I want to finish my 20 Ork Boyz. I'm that lazy

For Christ's sake I need to finish this bloody helbrute I've had WIP for a year now.

Also have a renegade platoon that needs some highlighting.

Goals for June:
Finalize Servin Loth. I literally need to just sit down and crank out the highlights.
Paint a Drop pod,
Paint my Las-Devs.

That darn Witcher 3. What a time sink, a beautiful beautiful time sink.

I guess since it will be a busy month.
Finish my blood bowl base game teams.
Finish my scenery for dreadfleet and one box of electro priests

I got lots of stuff on the table right now. I'm airbrushing my way through my new IG army, and want to build and start painting ym second stompa.

However, what I NEED to paint is another 9 Kommandos and Snikrot in time for a tournament on 4th july weekend. I don't see that being too difficult to achieve.

Get at least two Good Guy and two Bad Guy Lord of the Rings armies (for a DBx variant requiring about 200 - 300 figures per army) painted.

I have 1.5 already painted (most of a Hithaeglir Goblin, and most of a Rohirrim). But I want to get Gondor and Haradrim done as well.

MB

I have quiet a few to paint or build and paint

6x vanguard veterans
8x chosen for world eaters
10x undivided CSM (nearly done)
7x undivided havocs (nearly done)
1x undivided sorceror (nearly done)
1x regular world eater
5x fallen angels
1x Land raider crusader

That's probably enough for June!

Hopefully I can finish
10x Noise marines or
5x Chosen
5x Tau Pathfinders
rebase my entire marine army
Finish my Shadowsun Conversion
