When I find myself waiting for stuff to dry, my eyes will gaze across to my primed models and will end up putting paint to them.

At the moment I have half a squad of rough riders done (main project) some base coated nids and a few space wolves lol.

Now I can't be the only one that does this, so whats on your pile of projects?

What isn't? I just finished my Grot Nobz squad and then started constructing the Kromlech Grots. Still need to undercoat the Cossacks-counts-as-bikers and the Looted Falcon is also not done. Then I have to finish my counts-as-Wazdakka.

After those multiple prohjects are done, I then have a whole box of Daemons I once want to make as well as different female soldiers from Statuesque and Maxmini. Oh, I also need to start on finishing my Olley's Armies not-Squat legion.

Yep, I will be in this mess until I die.

Yeah, currently on the go, I have Khador and Cryx battlegroups for Warmachine, an Orlock and a Goliath gang for Necromunda, some scouts and a fighter 'plane' for some not-Dark Angels, an Imperial Guard army, a Terminator Librarian for my Imperial Dragons Chapter, a Heroquest set that I am slowly working through and a bunch of one-off minis that I bought just to paint... right now in various stages of undress are an Avatars of War barbarian, a Guild of Harmony 'totally not from House of Flying Daggers' girl, some Rackham goblins, Veteran Sergeant Centurius, and the limited edition Emperor's Champion.


That's just the stuff that I feel comfortable listing as 'currently in progress'... there are a whole bunch of other projects that have over the years been 'temporarily' pushed aside that I have somehow just never got back to...

I usually have at least two or three things on going at once for this reason.

For example:
squad of gants, and a MC.

A rhino, and a squad to troops.

When one is drying from primer or paint (or whatever) I work on the other one. This works out as I have a workstation area, and a paint station next to it, and I just kind of swap them out.

best of luck!

I have 7 things going at the moment. Although it takes longer to finish stuff, I find that I am happier with the end result.

Small delays gives me time to think about the color choices and conversion details. Sleeping on a decision also applies for this hobby.

I'm a massive project jumper.
I'll be painting something and then just jump to something else half way through a coat of paint. It doesn't help that I've got a short attention span.


At the moment though on my work bench is a Cadian command squad, Leman Russ and Infantry squad. Plus a Tactical and Terminator squad from DV and all the chaos marines from DV. All unpainted. Also have my collection of Flying Assault Butts that need to be painted. Can't do that though till I fix my airbrush and figure out how to use it properly. So for the moment they're unfortunately on indefinite hiatus.
I've also got my full Imperial Guard army that needs repainting/touching up.

Wish my eyes could paint.
