The Final Push - Lawnor approaches 100% painted

I’m done.  I’m back up to date for the first time in 8 months.  It’s taken over a week, but I’m there at last.  I’ve updated my 3 projects, the hobby pledges thread, my Facebook gallery, my complete KDM range spreadsheet (sortable by weapon, armour, gender etc) and the KDM discord galleries.  All done.

This did highlight that my running totals have gotten a little broken, so it’s time for an inventory check.  I’ve gone back to my master spreadsheet and checked every model gained since 2016 that’s not flagged as painted and compiled a list, and given them some sortable tags.

I may have missed something that wasn’t on the sheet, or something that didn’t get updated there fully.  Here’s what the different categories mean:

Batch: Models I don’t care too much about and can be batch painted.  Typically units of repeating sculpts, or groups of uninspiring models with similar paint schemes.

Normal: A game piece, some thing that can be used as a game piece, or something equivalent.

Bitz Box: An incomplete model, or a model I have no use for or interest in, but might be repurposable as terrain, or a base decoration, or a kitbash further down the line.

Luxury: Something intended purely as a painters piece.  No game use and unlikely to ever have one.  Usually busts and painters scale minis.  Pinups that clearly would not make sense on the board.

Modular: This started off as just the KDM modular armour sprues but I’ve expanded the definition to include anything I’m delaying making a decision on before building or painting.  This includes pinups and duplicates I might want to chop hands off of and replace their weapons, and models whose armour is made from monster that haven’t been released yet and I want to paint the monster before deciding how to paint the armour made from them.

Terrain: Terrain kits and things I’m considering turning in to terrain

This list contains 138 items.  17 are Terrain and Bitz Box, and I don’t include those in my MTG total as they’re kinda an afterthought at this point.  No use for either unless my situation changes.  Some models have changed categories today.  That leaves 121 MTG and….

Models remaining:
Batch: 0, Normal: 12, Luxury: 28, Modular: 81, Bits Box: 9, Terrain: 8, To Ship: TSoH, KDM, Enormity, more KDM
Models Finished in Collection: 3251 Models since start of project: 1060 out of 63 completed and still not done!

I currently have on my painting desk:

Pinup Lantern Festival (Skin basecoated only)
Phoenix Armour (4) (75% done)
Druid/Dryad Bust by H3ll Creator (Possibly finished, but might revisit in the future)

…with the Elf Archer Bust by Midost sat nearby primed.  I’ve also made some decisions on the KDM core set modular armour sprues, and the Normals on this list now give me a clear work plan for the near future.  Maybe I’ll do a few Normals, paint a Luxury, do a few Normals, paint a Luxury…  We will see.

Due to eBay bundles I’ve ended up with 2 copies of Pinups of Death 5 (11 models) so I should probably sell one of those and lower my totals.  If you want it, or some spare Spiderlings or spare Spidicules legs and you’re UK based let me know.
