OK, well looking in my wardrobe (and all over my room...) i realised i had a hell of alot of uppainted miniatures that need a good lick of paint, so i have decided to just set up this wee log to show what i have done, and hopefully it will encourage me to paint more and get at least ONE army finished...
To date, i have unpainted;
*This list will be updated as i go along*
Imperial Guard:
Commissar Yarrick
6 Storm Trooper
9 Death Korps
x5 10man Squads (3 from 1 squad nearly done!)
Leman Russ Executioner
Well with Yellow and White Platoons now finished, and my Command Platoon and Support finished aswell, the Guard are lookin' mighty fine, only a Storm Trooper Squad and Red Platoon to go, DKoK and Yarrick can wait, they are no Cadians! Change of plan, with the release of the new super heaviest DKoK are moving up the "to-do" list
Bretonnians:
20 Knights of the Realm (Few half done)
5 Pegasus Knights (Few started)
2 Errant Knights
15 Men at Arms (Nearly done, just bases)
33 Archers
1 Trebuchet and Crew
5 Questing Knights
Hmm.... this is quite a task, hopefully obsessive playing of Medieval 2 Total War will inspire me to finish these off, cause there is a hell of alot to do, completion date: Before the Empire are all released
Edit: It didnt, just made me want to start ANOTHER army.. oh well...
After playing Duncan in a large game I am slightly inspired to actually paint them, but the Dwarfs have priority since they are easier, and I want the foundation paint set for the Bretonnians so I can actually apply red in one coat, that or get some Vallejo
Dwarves:
12 Crossbows
20 Thunderers
3 Slayers
7 Longbeards
18 Warriors
20 Iron Breakers
Grudge Thrower
Cannon
Organ Gun
Bolt Thrower
All need there bases finished, apart form that everything is done , Completion date: Before Empire are al released like the Bretonnians. This is the easy one, and can wait til last.
*Edit: Lets repaint them all!*
Edit: Ok, lets slowly repaint them all...
Edit: And add shields
Of course there is alot of other models that need painting (Daemon Hunters, Lord of the Rings, Ultramarines, Romans, Normans) but they are not that important, these 3 are the ones i want done!
Hopefully i can get a few pictures up of what i do, first update later tonight after an evening with the bretonnians...
All input welcome
Update 6/11/06
Well after nearly 3 hours of good ole painting, 4 Knights, 2 Archers, 1 Man at Arms, 1 Mounted Damsel, and a Storm Trooper are finished Some just needed finishing, like basing and last highlights, over all, very happy with tonights painting, though i am Sure i had some homework to be doing...
Update 13/11/06
No real progress, been playing Rome Total War too much. Another 2 out of 10 commissioned marines fully finished, started another 5 guardsmen, aswell as rebuilding some bretonnian archers to make them have light armour, 4 started, and 3 regular men at arms. Tomorrow will be the day with the updates hopefully. Camera decided to be a blurry tonight, no good pictures yet.
24/11/06
Im bored, so its an evening of painting for me, so far pretty much done a Peg knight, started 2 more KoTR, plan on finishing 7 more peasants tonight aswell, oh and 5 guardsmen were done earlier, 59 to go! (well 61, but those 2 new models are bring painted tomorro (maybe only one)
28/11/06
Started on another 5 guardsmen, think i got the cloth spot on for batching, took a few minutes but looks very good, probably get all but the black done tonight (its gone missing ) 4 archers and 3 M@A nearly done, should finish them tonight except black, and possibly another knight.
6/12/06
Finished 5 more guardsmen, thats Blue Company White Platoon Squad 3 done Also started on a DKoK model, testing a grey trench coat scheme, so far, so good.
23/12/06
I know! Lets repaint the dwarfs! (Dwarves is the incorrect term in warhammer i would like to point out. Tolkein created the word "Dwarves" so warhammer took second best, Dwarfs)
Well thats my "Company of Heroes" done, one Dwarf lord, one Runesmith, one Master Engineer, one Slayer and one Iron Breaker Champion, looking MUCH better IMHO, so only 100 to go... Well I am on holiday now, that should give me some free time, still got the Bretonnians and Guard to go too... looks like an evening of painting for me!
21/1/07
Well arguably I failed to reach my goals, infact, you could argue I have done hee-haw over christmas, and you would be right, but I started up again this weekend, another guardsmen, another Templar, 3 scouts started, 3 pirates started, 1 Ogre finished, 1 errant knight started, 1 trebuchet started, 2 test models for my HRE finished, so not bad, but guardsmen are so boring now! only...45 to go, plus 4 storm troopers, and 9 DKoK
28/1/07
More Guardsmen! Finished a 6man sniper support section, started on 3 more Ksarkin, and 2 more Guardsmen from White Platoon, hoping to get White Platoon finished in February and Red Platoon bought and started for Spring. Ok, 5 Guardsmen finished today, and 3 Ksarkin, thats got to be a record for me recently, only 3 men from White 3, 10 from White 4 and 10 form White 5, and the 12 men from Blue Company Support!
02/02/07
Painting guardsmen all day, about 10 done, White 3 finished and White 4 over half way, yey Kell is coming along nicely too, almost halfway. Started more on the Trebuchet too
03/02/07
Couldnt really be bothered with more Guardsmen, 1 nearly finished, and a Mortar, apart from that nothing. After realising I will be using the Dwarfs in a campaign next week, i thought I would do a few more of them, 4 more longbeards finished, the from rank done then Also done 2 more slayers, not that I will be using them but hey they were easy to touch up on
10/02/07
Well with Red Platoon on the way, as soon as my mail order arrives, I thought I had better finish off white Platoon, and I did 10men this morning/afternoon, hopefully get 3 storm troopers done today aswell, and a support tank for White Platoon and Support Sentinal, Red Platoons support Russ and Sentinal is on the way too fresh form Forgeworld so this month should be a good one for the guard, another 1000points for them, and another 60 models including tanks for me to paint... yey
26/02/07
Well been working on alot of the Clubs Siege things this week, so not alot of painting done, replaced a few Dwaf Shields, started on 10 Storm Troopers (Ok, undercoated) narly finished the Vanquisher and the Sentinal with Rocket Pod is coming on nice
11/3/07
Eye all healed up, so on with the painting, I eventually managed to get a spray can yesterday at GW and undercoated every guardsmen that needed it, nearly finished the Rocketpod Sentinal aswell, just some minor details to go. Made a start on the executioner and the 5 man Junior Command are coming along well, should be finished by tonight if nothing else comes up.
02/04/07
First day of the Holidays, and continued work on my Empire General, armour pretty much done, so is his flesh and the horse, just finishing touches really. Started another 2 Guardsmen and some Death Korps, should be done by the end of today. Also batch painting my Romans and working on my Warmachine Menoth Warcaster.
20/05/07
Well alot of minor things done this weekend, finished off building my Empire folks with the heads from Duncan, started on my Warmachine Menoth guys, but a nice blue instead of cream, wanting to move away from standard colours... and cream is VERY hard to get right. Build up my command sections for my Romans. Nearly finished painting a Bretonnian Musician, and finished 7 guardsmen with 3 half done. Started on the Vulture Gunship, metal is done, as is some of the green first coat on top. The executioner has its green done all over and finished off a pirate minus the base, naw bad!
To date, i have unpainted;
