Mines is quite simple.

1) Paint a squad of terminators.
2) Use beastmen parts to make a Dark Apostle.
3) Paint my Death Korps of Krieg squads.

my goal is to paint my first ever regiment of Chaos warriors (6th edition models)

i have 35 primed,
18 with halberds and shields

17 with 1 hand and shields are base coated with 1 of the 17 much farther along and at the detailing stage to see if i like the color scheme.

ill prob spend tonight finishing up the detail on the 1 to see how i like it and work tomorrow on getting the other 16 to the detailing phase.

For those of you who asked. I won't be able to make my vows but, I've come close.

Here is the PLOG.

Well I was doing really good. Was working on a marine, working on some fine details... and it slipped out of my hand and face planted right into the paint on my wet pallete... So when I get home tomorrow it will have to take a bath in some simple green and I have to start over.

It has ruined my desire to paint tonight... so I won't finish my goal of getting 3 marines done. Maybe next month everything will go better.

-Paint Mortans Starter for Godslayer DONE
-Paint Warboss
-Paint Big Mek w/ KFF
-Paint 5 Kommandos


Getting the orkz done is going to be kind of tight. I have time to paint on 4/30... hopefully

Sorry to hear that sparky. If I were you though I would try to start painting again as soon as possible.

I'm still working to finish my three vendettas and every brush stroke counts. My frustrations are lousy brushes (time to buy new ones) and the slight difference in shade between my basecoats and GW's Castellan Green.

I probably will bust out the brushes later tonight and work on some guys. Have plenty of projects to finish.

Good luck on the Vendettas. Only thing left on mine are some details and weathering, and the weapons. Hopefully will have those done soon!

Pretty good, all of the actual painting/modeling related stuff got done. I didn't get to the fluff because I received a package in the mail last week with these guys in, they distracted me...

Looking forward to getting them done by Friday, then May is tank-a-palooza!

2. assemble, magnetize & paint a drop pod for my salamanders

2. done. will post pics later

no stretch goals completed as listed, but I did pick up an ADL and have it about 85% complete (still need to wash and weather).
