Oops 100 miniatures
Recommendations: 207
About the Project
I signed up to the GW painting challenge. Knowing that I have well over a hundred GW minis unpainted I thought it would be an easy enough task. Then I realised the expiry date set the bar higher than I expected. I have to do this by the 9th of May! That's almost a miniature a day from the date I made my pledge. Oops. I will give it the good old college try. 🤷 Wish me luck.

Primaris update
#18 Flamer FreddieUnsure if heavily adapting a model from one scheme to another counts, but I will claim it.
Got nice feedback from gaming group friends so decided to keep the Dark Angels painting going.
Got this front of the magazine Terminator fella, bargain for £3.99. hopefully won't get bogged down in the details.Space Marines
#12 Plasma Pete
#13 Boltgun BobRotten head cold is slowing me up but I did some building of more Votan KillTeam and lovely Deathguard model.
But I did find some minis I bought already built and primed ages ago off eBay.
They are regular space marines, but they are meant to be the fun pose ones that came in the blind buy packs from overseas? I have 6 of them.
I am happy with the scheme I came up with as an alternative subchapter look.
#14 Reload Picard
#15 Billy Bleedsalot
#16 Larry the Launcher
#17 Mel the YellCrossbow bomber? (Hexbane Hunters)
#11 Quiet Pock - interesting name. I must look into the backstory of these guys at some point.Going to the Dogs (Underworld Hexbane Hunters)
#9 Grotbiter
#10 Ratspike (AKA Lucky?)Ratspike (#10) seems such a crappy name. Should’ve corrupted some Greek and have an ironic laugh at the horrendous scars. Tycherus? (tycherós is “lucky” in Greek.) Lucky is “Felix” in Latin so that doesn’t work, as we know that’s a cat’s name.
And even the other dog as Grotbiter (#9). Boring. Should have called him something offbeat and odd like Melody. (Because he’s unchained.)
Underworld big guy
#8 Aemos Duncarrow
102 days to go. Still off the pace for an easy mission completion, but should complete two small minis tonight to get going. The integrated bases is also another shortcut compared to PVA and grasses step etc.Anniversary dwarf.
#7 Brakki of the Gilded KeyOne of my built and primed models. Buyers remorse almost as soon as I bought him. Expensive for 1 model, when I am not playing games with trollslayers / Fyrslayers in at the moment. Was nice to paint up.
Went for Blue flames like a lot of my other AoS stuff. With the orange and the deep pink all over the mini I wanted a cold colour to balance the model.Finding short cuts
I am trying to find short cuts to speed up the number of miniatures being painted. I looked through some boxes, little boxes where projects have been parked early and abandoned. I found the second half of two Warhammer underworld projects and an anniversary model. They had been built and primed but taken no further. I slapped a wash on the grey primed minis as I find it easier to paint when some of the details are better defined and a dark brown primed trollslayer got a drybrush.
But also want to paint projects I actually want to play with sooner also, so I began building a Leagues of Votan KillTeam.
I realised that without dipping into any of my 40K items I still have Cursed City as a potential mini hive...
...and my latest purchase is also a tanky head count to march towards the 100. Seeing as a friend is actually intrigued by Cursed City that might be the preferred to start on out of the two boxed games.I also tripped over the fact that I have built a lot of my Blackstone Fortress minis. Taking out the speed bump of mini building will certainly speed up my efforts to reach the hundred.
Slow start
Finishing the blood bowl team seemed like a sensible move to naturally paint more GW minis.
This will end shortly, only having two bodyguard and a Lineman to complete.
