The black Terminator is a wireframe I painted a while ago, pretty much to prove I could. Defiler in the background is unrelated
Now onto my Tau:
Three Crisis Suit team
Six Firewarriors
Six Pathfinders
Nice! It's cool to see some progress
Makes me sad the only things I'm painted right now are miniatures from other people

I'm just dreading the TFC, any tips? (mine's metal)
Feels like yesterday, I should have done a photo shoot for the cursed thing.
Wash and dry it well, all the nooks and crannies retain much of the mold release (they needed a lot).
Pin everything you can (Yes there are a lot of pieces).
I had a few ideas to have the gun swivel, bad idea.
There is not a lot of room to get the gun to swivel well and not fall off.
I made and mounted mine on a stand.
Try to use some applicators for the glue, the tube spout only seems to ensure enough flows for fingers to get stuck to.
Good luck, do it in stages and you may not develop a nervous tic.

Probably best for me to finish off the last few bits of Dark Eldar first and take it from there. We'll see how I go.
Well I've managed to paint 20 Imperial Guardsmen and 2 Chimeras since we last 'spoke', and half finished a Grotesque. Not great by any stretch of the imagination but I haven't bought anything either so I'm technically still on course...
....I'm pretty confident however the new C:SM will land before I get all this wiped up and then god help me......

Still have about 15-20 Cadians left, and 6 heavy weapons teams (which I hate painting soooooo much).
I usually can't help but buy something from time to time, but I was looking for a Basilisk right when they were pulled from the shelves and disappeared from everywhere but GW's site, and that put me off for a while.
Painting all of my tanks was less of a pain than I thought it would be - I used an airbrush to do camo, and then sprayed a wash over them. After that just used a toothbrush with some textured paint to add some mud and they maybe took a combined 6-8 hours for 10 tanks. Same for the valkyries minus the mud.
Definitely a good way to stop yourself from buying anything if you can really motivate yourself to paint everything you currently have.

some CCW options for my assault marine sergeant

unsurprisingly, I caved with the new SM launch. picked up a box of centurions, so those will come next after my WIP predator.

I'm really hoping this keeps me accountable and helps me turn the tide of having more unpainted models than painted. A good many have been primed or started, just never finished. Anything that helps I guess lol

And stuff I forget I have. (I'm sure there's a good bit of that...)
What I've painted:
~50 Marines
~50 Guardsmen
Some Imperial HQs 1 Daemon Prince
1 Heldrake
3 Rhinos
1 Razorback
2 Russ
1 Hellhound
1 Baneblade
I have quite a ways to go... Maybe I'll stop collecting for a while.
Painting models hasn't been a top priority for me. I'm trying to change that though...

This thread is genius and I think it's just what I need to light a fire under my ass in the painting department. I love to play, buy and assemble models but my lack of painting skill discourages me from picking up the brush as often as I should be. However, my painting won't improve until I get down to it. Without further adieu, my list to paint is as follows:

Really like the flesh tones on your models there SilverMK2, I'm not familiar at all with the Reaper range but I think you've made a real good job of those.
Started on my Leman Russ Exterminator, am hoping to have it finished by monday night.

3 mawlocs
1 hive tyrant
2 warriors
1 lictor
Medua

Tonight I'm aiming to finish:

Really want the Kill Tank Smasha Mob from FW next month so I really need to clear down my to paint pile. If I can paint all the marines I have built as well then I will treat myself to some Ork goodness and another 100 or so Marines.

...And a F*cktonne of terrain
Half of this gak is not even half built, i love 40k as my favourite hobby and i work on it most nights if not hanging out with friends, but you may ask "How is it not built or painted?"
...I'm Lazy, even to my favourite hobby & universe Attempting this challenge would be like cutting off a right leg and left genital, i.must.buy.MOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR , But no seriously i am building most of this stuff as fast as i can, but my ultimate goal is to convert it all, i'm running out of relevant parts, which is a tad ironic because my Bitz box is about as large and fairly reminiscent to this..
