Starting off May right!

I Vow to:

-Finish Painting my City Mini Table
-Finish a hill and tree template for my Autumn Foothills table, as well as do tutorials for both
-Finish a Veteran Marine


If I have time I will:
-Finish painting my Stormtrooper Squad.
-Start another Veteran
-Start building a 'shack in the woods' template for my Autumn table.

Some carry over from last month, and some new stuff...

Finish Iron Fang Pikemen
Finish Greylord Ternion
Finish Man-o-War Kovnik
Unit of Widowmakers
Unit of Man-o-War Demo Corps
Unit of Winter Guard Mortar Crew x2
Eiryss

Much of this will depend on me actually getting my paint-smeared little mitts on the necessary models.

As a bonus, I want to get some terrain built for my new table and maybe paint up a Kodiak.

*much knuckle cracking*

Painting
- 26 nurglings
- 2 unit fillers
- 6 jezzails
- 2 ratling guns
- 1 gutter runner
- 1 BSB
- 2 movement trays
- 1+ INQ models

Building
- Balthirster / Bloodrog for Kr0n demons

Hardcore this month, looks like

- Salvage

Last month stunk. I didnt even bother making vows i couldnt keep.

This month I vow to:

Build from scratch and paint a small 8" colonial made french Privateer sloop for LotHS campaign.

Assemble 2 more five man termie squads for my lysander wing. (thus completing a 2000 pt list)

Well some 60odd pages worth of papers, 1500 pages of reading and a couple of finals were not kind to my April vows so here we go again.

Painting:
- 14 Eldar jetbikes
- 3 Vypers
- 1 and a half Falcons
- 1 Dire Avengers Squad

Assemble:
- Jet bike Autarch, Farseer, and three warlocks (I can't get a hold of any spears for the warlocks!!!)

*Finish Herne & Jonne
*Do Madhammer's 3 last 'jacks (1 driller, 1 blaster, 1 gunner)
*Khador Behemoth
*Start work on MOW army (at least do one unit of 4 each of MOWST and MOWDC).

That's all I've got so far. I'd like to start working on my Kroot and Skink Venusians, but since I'm not really playing pulp games right now (and have PILES of pulp minis painted up) I can hold off for the moment.

EDIT: Driller, blaster and gunner are done. Herne & Jonne are done. I also painted up a Reaper swashbuckler that's been sitting on my desk for ages, and 5 Copplestone-sculpted EM-4/Grenadier 'not-terminator' robots. I've got the Behemoth ready to go, along with 6 artizan cowboys. Replaced my drill bit so hoping to start on the MOW soon too.

Build and paint my mega armour warboss. Money permitting.

I'm going to paint 1 dude with a chainsword, and possibly another couple with guns.

May! With finals out of the way I hope to take a bit more time this month for fun hobby related activities.

Modeling:
Finish the last 3 lootas, clean up conversions with some minor greenstuff work
Finish Biker Boss (bike itself needs guns and some exhaust work)

Painting:
Finalize army color scheme, touch up old boys (I want to get back in the saddle with painting before jumping to centerpiece models)
Paint Deff Choppas!

Gaming:
Play more games than during April (so, play at least 3 games, gotcha)


Totally Unrealistic Dreams:
Model 20 Stormboys
Paint Biker Boss
Paint Lootas

I vow not to make any vows until I can afford more Enchanted Blue.

That, and Jezreal's Avatar is tres cool.

Despite the evil time suckage of VGA planets (up to one turn a day now), I'm hoping to get my Cryx finished up to 750 for the start of the next League (May 8th). I think I have to stop going to the video rental store at all.

I want to bring my 750 Cryx AND 1500 Deathguard Chaos Spaze Marinez to Ottawa for Cangames on May 18th. Need to finish Typhus and my PM Champ to round out those 1500 pts!

May vows:

High priority (need to be DONE by May 11th):
Highlight, do bases and varnish Typhus, PM Champ, 2 Deathguard Termies
Wash, highlight, do bases and varnish Harrower, Helldiver, Stalker
Paint 3 Soulhunters

Paint 3 Tyrant Guard

Why, Thank You. I whipped it up in five minutes this morning to match my vows.

Orginal pics are here.

I'm vow to get my stormboyz assembled and painted. I'm gonna try highlighting with watered down painting. I vow to get my ork skin "cleaner" and better looking.

My plans for working on my table have gone completely out the window. However, I have gotten back into my pile o' metal. So...

Paint my Magnus the Traitor

Paint Magnus' Talon

Paint Magnus' Renegade

Finish detailing and paint Magnus' Mangler

That should do.

I'm skipping out on this until I finish last month's vows, and as this month looks to be a lot worse than last month, I don't see myself doing this at all in May.

it was smartly done, the perspective.

May Vows:

I'm not really going to attempt that I'll make any headway in my starting army paintwise, but goshdarnit I'm going to do my darndest to get assembled the following:


30 Devastator Marines (4 of Each HW Type)
10 Scout Marines 5 w/ Sniper Rifles
'Bout 4 Squads of Tac Marines
1 Squad of Termies
1 Squad of CC Termies
1 Squad of Assault Marines
1 Command Squad
1 Predator Tank
1 Rhino Transport
1 Dreadnought
1 Razorback w/ TL-Lascannon
2 Whirlwind Tanks
1 Land Speeder



*Whimper*

I guess the message I'm trying to get across....

Friends don't let friends ebay drunk...

Finally get my stuff out of storage after the storm known as divorce has settled down. What to do? Figure out what I'm going to need to replace (been there for over a year) and get back on projects. Prolly finish up the 2250 Empire Army and dig out the Marines in anticipation of 5th ed.

Mid-month progress:

High priority (need to be DONE by May 11th):
Highlight, do bases and varnish Typhus, PM Champ DONE
Wash, highlight, do bases and varnish Harrower, Helldiver, Stalker DONE
Paint 3 Soulhunters DONE

Woohoo! Put the last coat of Matte varnish on these guys this afternoon. I'm ready to roll for the two tournaments at CanGames this weekend!


Still to do:

Finish highlights on 2 Deathguard ReaperAC terminators
Paint 3 Tyrant Guard
convert 14 metal Chaos termie combibolter arms to combiplasma (with Chaos Plaspistol)
Finish magneting and nurgle-ing Chaos Predator
Finish magneting and converting Flyrant

You know, it looks possible...mostly conversion stuff which is less daunting than painting.
Next month, I'll have to start assembling and painting some Menoth while continuing with the Deathguard. My IG and Nids are on hold until I get a peak at 5th edition anyways

Midway mark:

Lootas = Done and awaiting primer

I'll have to get some photos and necro my P&M thread.

ok

Major failure last time, so I'll go light

Finish my single model entry for Golden Demons

Get lots of work done on my large model entry

assemble the new daemon spearhead.

DFo wrote:Some carry over from last month, and some new stuff...

Finish Iron Fang Pikemen Backorder
Finish Greylord Ternion DONE
Finish Man-o-War Kovnik In Progress
Unit of Widowmakers In Progress
Unit of Man-o-War Demo Corps Minis pending (mucho dinero)
Unit of Winter Guard Mortar Crew x2 Backorder
Eiryss Mini pending

Much of this will depend on me actually getting my paint-smeared little mitts on the necessary models.

As a bonus, I want to get some terrain built for my new table DONE... well, you can never have enough...
and maybe paint up a Kodiak Not gonna happen.

So I am ..... behind! If I can get the Kovnik, Widowmakers and Eiryss done this month, I'll be happy.

WOO HOO! I finished a falcon. And I am almost done with the second.

I can't seem to work up the will to assemble that Autarch or figure out how to trick out his bike though.

Late in the month I know but as I'm applying for a promotion ATM there will be little painting going on.

So I'll be assembling some saurus and skinks.
Hopefully:
5 Saurus
10 Skinks

Will depend if I run out of bases or models.

June will be spent painting them....

Vows are done (can't finish rebasing as Litko stuff hasn't
arrived, yay!)

My Vows pretty much went out the window this month. I did finish the hill and hill tutorial though.

I pretty much just changed gears on my Vows. I did paint a few models though this month, Skaven and Epic Orks instead of Marines and IG.

I don't know why I bother making vows or lists x.x...I can never stay focused x.x....
