Do you think I can paint 800 points in 2 months? Because I'm planning on buying Get Started Space Wolves but I want to have finished painting...

Easy, that's just 100 points a week! Even if it's all Grey Hunters, that's less than a mini a day. A HQ or Dread or a couple of Thunderwolves and that's you done for a week!

Get to it, lad!

Yes.

So I need to finish all my stuff before the 4th of April, which is when I'll have unlimited access to a FLGS and painting for hours every day.

The list of unpainted things:

13 Grey Hunters
1 Contemptor
4 Fenrisian Wolves
1 Land Speeder
5 Long Fangs
7 Characters
3 TWC

So about 1300 points, give or take. I have, upon posting this, 47 days to finish. 1300 divided by 47 is 27. 27 points a day, 189 a week! Let's do this!

Quick question, is the dice thing mandatory? I've written a mord list and a tournament's coming up and I'd really like to get em done for that.

(Just my take on it, IMHO, YMMV, etc.)

I think as long as stuff is moving, the hows and whys are not an issue.

The die helps some of us. If we could decide what we wanted to be painting, it wouldn’t be sitting there for over two decades!

Dice aren't necessary if you know what you want to paint, they're simply a crutch for indecisive among us

Sorry mate, I meant no offense

Roll for agility

Nat 20!

Run the feth away.

Roll for pizza! Sausage pineapple.

...and that’s enough silliness for now. Just to prove I’m still working on old projects:

Done his silvers since I took that pic. Getting there...

...and done!


Might not be the best thing to cross my paintbench, but he’s off to the shelf now.

Someone chuck me a d6 and keep painting everyone!

Good job dude!

I got my ork finished last night so I'll reset my options and get someone to roll for me again

M-m-m-m-mordheim!!!



Sorry for the quality, I'll get better pics on finished models.

The guy on the right will be the Skink Priest and the lefty is a Brave w/ Shield and Javelin

Ayy!

Okay someone roll a D6!

1: Finish Grey Hunters 1
2: 3 Thunderwolves
3: 4 Fenrisian Wolves
4: Rune Priest
5: Armour plates and misc stuff for Imperial Knight
6: Finish 4 Long Fangs

Someone roll for me, here is the ork nob

I thought there was a thread somewhere about minis bought off ebay that were just blobs of paint. I can't find it, so I'm posting these here. I have discovered the secret of stripping plastic minis so I'm stripping almost an entire space marine army.
These are the most freaky looking ones:

Count Blobula and The Incredible Blob.

Wow... just wow! Those are just.... Nope, I cannot put together a sentence about them!

What miracle are you using to get the paint off those?

While you're here corpuschain, read my PM

I am using biostrip 20. I finally found out how to do it properly and my advice is DO NOT leave them to soak in it. Put one in for about 1 or 2 minutes, give it a scrub to get the top latyers off, then put it back in again to get the next layer off. Repeat until it looks like new!

Here's the Incredible Blob, looking more like a space marine. Not totally finished, but almost there.

Just realised I'm on vacation and almost 2 weeks behind schedule. Darn it!

I'm bad at painting. Please forgive me but I'll have to limit myself to basecoats. I still have a month left to finish everything though...

No sweat, bro. I'm supposed to be doing a Piranha for this thing, but I've barely touched it.

I'll forgive you if you roll for me

Rolled a 2! Gobbo king!

That'd be a 3 totsausage, or is that what you rolled?

*titsausage and I thought the gobbo was a 2. I did roll a 2 though so Chosen!

My sincerest apologies titsausage, for some reason auto correct made it far worse.

Chosen it is, I'll post pre shots tonight

Okay, Rune Priest done, pics coming soon.

1: Basecoat/finish Grey Hunters 1
2: 3 Thunderwolves
