Finished building the last of my chaos renegades and heretics, so that's one project box cleared out, which is awesome! Of course, now I have to prime and paint them, which in this current unstable atmosphere weather will be tricky. Hope to get that done by tomorrow and then actually get some paint on them by Tuesday!

Going by my new uhh economic model of the hobby I am officially in the black by at least two minis. I would like to have more finished by now, but needed a bit of a break from mini painting.

"The best way to lie is to tell the truth." Attelus Kaltos.
My story! Secret War
After his organisation is hired to hunt down an influential gang leader on the Hive world, Omnartus. Attelus Kaltos is embroiled deeper into the complex world of the Assassin. This is the job which will change him, for better or for worse. Forevermore. Chapter 1.
The Angaran Chronicles: Hamar Noir. After coming back from a dangerous mission which left his friend and partner, the werewolf: Emilia in a coma. Anargrin is sent on another mission: to hunt down a rogue vampire. A rogue vampire with no consistent modus operandi and who is exceedingly good at hiding its tracks. So much so even the veteran Anargrin is forced into desperate speculation. But worst of all: drive him into desperate measures. Measures which drives Anargrin to wonder; does the ends, justify the means?

I am at about 175+ models/bases painted this year. Mostly 6mm and 28mm.
However, I have a new Anglo-Saxon force of about 60 to paint, and some Persian Chariots still to do this year.

Okay, since this is about the mid-way point of the year, I decided to put up a more formalized blog post about what I have accomplished so far.....
https://bloodandspectacles.blogspot.com/2024/08/random-2024-mid-point-not-to-be.html
I am sure many of us do the same, so share and share-a-like I say.

I bought and painted some more Agema this week. I'd declare the Pile of Shame dead again, but I don't think it counts as having one if I'm painting new purchases faster than I'm making those new purchases.

Got caught up on my Infinity this week and made a dent in my Khador backlog. Kind of offset by picking up some Flash Gitz and staring into the horror that is trying to figure out how to salvage my Deathwatch, but at the moment focusing on things that are a bit more stable is keeping me sane.

I fully painted a random dwarf the other day.
And in July I got a full 6 figure Deathguard team finished for Kill Team!
Oh, and I contracted out the painting duties on 4 Armiger Knights to one of the kids at the shop.
This minor progress on the pile is completely erased by the SkavenTide box under the desk + the dozen or so random minis I brought back from GenCon.

Got some models done for my Kruleboyz, so that's a (admittedly small) dent in the pile of shame.

Finished my first regiment of Spire, because apparently two Conquest armies isn't enough.

I am now up to having painted 8! models this year.
#8 is the Dark Angels Capt that was MTO/Last Chance last year(? Think it was last year)
He's been sitting assembled on my desk for quite some time.
The other night? The stars aligned in his favor....
1st DA I've painted in over 20 years.

If that's directed to me, then I disagree.
When I paint, 1 model, 2 models, dozens of models, it's all the same. When the motivation to paint occurs I simply paint until the motivation fades.
As for my newest DA Capt? He's the 1st in 20+ years simply because all my other DAs were finished looong ago. I had no reason to paint up another DA before getting this model.

I was a super reluctant painter until this year. Now, I’ve painted all my Legions Imperialis Dark Angels, and am just the 8th Contemptor and Legion Praevian Consul away from having all my Age of Darkness Dark Angels painted.
This has been achieved by “something every day”. Could just be assembling a model or two, doing an undercoat, right up to when I went mental and did 60 MkVI Marines in a day.
Barring a period of grief, I have kept to that, and it’s seen me paint an ungodly amount of plastic.
What really helped was buying a pair of display cabinets. Not only does it look nice and keep the dust off, but as a Sad Old Git, I’m now my own source of White Dwarf Reader’s Armies. I look over what I’ve done, and I feel inspired to do more.
It also helped generate motivation as I ploughed through the grey. I could see each shelf become ever more complete, and the cabinet look ever better.
I’ve still stuff to do, specifically 40K Nids and Eldar, and my HeroQuest stuff. But I am confident I’ll get it all done in the coming months.

Got Incarnate Sentinals done a couple of days ago.
Plan, such as it is, is to not buy more stuff that isn't already on order until I'm down to the last couple of unpainted units again.

This isn't really a pile of shame thing, but just about finished redoing my Intercessors. I had 13 standard and 10 assault. Got some jump packs and made 4 assault, 8 jump assaults, and 8 standard with 3 Sgts I can swap around the equipment on depending on which units I want to actually field.
