About the Project

I have decided to help keep my motivation, to do a weekly update of what I have been doing. This will hopefully stave off the fatigue of the never ending pile of potential, and also reassure me that I am sort of making progress. The project will have a range of miniatures from different genres such as kingdom death monster, burrows and badgers, moonstone, marvel crisis protocol, Star Wars shatterpoint and everything in between. The last count was about 850 miniatures, that need to be painted. Normally they are then stored away but at least they will be completed.

My pace does seem to have completely slowed again ad only the one miniature completed.  Although I did prime a some more in the lull after the recent excessive heat.

 

Anyway my redemptor dreadnought has been finished.  I have a small primaris army (why I am never playing 40K and I hate painting space marines?) and have printed it in that scheme.  Kept it relatively simple so it matched.

Although, I went off piste with the basing as I wanted to try something new.

Next up is either my high elf blood bowl team or a recent birthday gift if chaos warriors.

Let’s see what whimsy takes one’s fancy

So I seem to be able to upload images again.

I have another model complete and still have another in progress.

 

The images believe show Black Scorpions king on a toad.  I think the model is better than my paint job but it is another one off of the list.

I did enjoy these models from black scorpion, so have a joint photo below.   Will at some time get back to the other 5 models I picked up at Salute.  If my list didn’t still have 840 minis on it I definitely would pick up some more.

Not much done in the last 10 days since the last update – working through a couple of models but nothing completed yet.  The king model from Black Scorpion and a Redemptor Dreadnaught, so slightly contrasting models.

I have had a few attempts at uploading some images but there seem to be issues when it comes to try, but will come back to it soon.

 

Midweek update

Thought a midweek update would be a good idea, just as I can.

The Black Scorpion mounted warrior has now been completed.  I feel that I could take it further but for a mini just bought in a whim, I think it is at a reasonable level.

I even did the base (not well but I did it) and for the first time used some cork for a rock.  The effect is slightly amateurish but as I am an amateur painter, I think that’s OK.

I did drop the horse a couple of times so there was some damage to the head.

 

Midweek update

I have a photo of all of the paints used although it may be missing some of the greys for the rocks.

Now need to take a day or so and decide what to do next.

i think by the latest calculations that takes me down to about 840 minis still left that I have and want to paint.  Practically finished.

Actually on time this week.

Only worked on the one model this week as I was bored with painting in batches.

I decided to go with the Salute specific model from black scorpion.  I think it was just called a mounted grand Marshall but haven’t gotten round to check.

Only about half done but the WIP is as follows:

 

The colours used so far

Week 44

Hoping to finish it next week.  Does completing the horse and the rider count as one or two minis?

Over the last week I have worked on completing the Bretonian Blood Bowl team.

Also managed to get my remaining Burrows and Badgers miniatures primed so that is another 30 odd minis ready to paint.

The plan is to give it a few days and pick something, it may even be the High Elf blood bowl team just so I can say that it has all been completed.

I would do a poll on what to do next but no one is likely to comment.

The options I will consider are a few miniatures from:

Marvel Crisis protocol

Blood Bowl High Elf team

Burrows and Badgers

Kingdom death monster

Yoroni

Anyway the photo of the Bretonians, more photos can seen in my Blood Bowl project

wow I don’t seem to be rubbish and updating these entries at the moment.

not much hobby done in the last couple of weeks as went away for a week and work then took priority.  However, some slight progress with some of my Bretonian Blood Bowl team.   Not enjoying the process at the moment but have a few days off work at the end of week so hopefully will get the team finished and move onto something else.

I think that the next couple of project needs to a singular model so that there is no chance of batch painting, and also make sure I wet pallet to get back in the habit

Looks like I missed last weeks post so here is  another belated update.

I finished the Tomb Kings team, it could’ve been better but they will do.

 

Weeks 40 & 41

I then focused on building some more miniatures, so a few more Star Wars shatterpoint minis have been built.   I do need to make a concerted effort to paint some of them.

Weeks 40 & 41

As an update with the amount of miniatures needing painting, my spreadsheet shows as follows:

 

Weeks 40 & 41

So still have plenty left to do.

To help I also primed some mire in the recent nice weather.  I also started on my Bretonians team for blood bowl.  Which I am hating, I have almost packed them away in multiple occasions but here is a WIP,

As I am away next week, I expect little progress
