Painting Goals Motivational Thread

That blood angel's looking nice. neat and tidy - everything where it should be.

my current progress is: bugger all corax (fed up with him, but will force myself to paint him if prim is getting t'd off waiting. I'd understand if he was... Just say the word, chief...)

however, as I intend to play warmachine on sunday (might have to proxy a nurgle dred for my deathjack, as it ha'n't arrived yet, but hey ho...) I have been sticking together my warmachine minis. Spent about 4 hours today prepping and basing half a dozen models. Most of that was spent on the Egregore (it floats. I'm trying to make it appear to do so...) and the Stalker bonejack, which due to having no slotta on its legs, and having legs which are, um, needlepoints, is a pigging pain in the rear to attach to its base. In fact, its near impossible to have it stand up, never mind attach it to something. I ended up having it leaping through the air on a plume of smoke, talons raised and legs pulled up under it, thus bypassing the need to attach its feet to anything. kunnin, methought...

Thanks for those kind words.

'Rax can wait until inspiration strikes. Painting a model like that should be something you want to do I reckon, so if you're feeling all bummed out because you're sick of painting light effects, go and do something fun and come back to the model when you feel the muse giving you a righteous kick in the pants. Corax isnt needed in any great hurry, so take your time and have fun doing it.

you, sir, are a gent much appreciated. I shall keep my eye out for that muse, mind you...

Not so much painting, but last night I rebuilt an old metal attack bike I got from ebay. I had to strip off the old superglue from all the pieces, cut off and reattach the handlebars (as the idiot who made it put them on incorrectly), replace a few parts and then reassemble it.
I also rebased some of my old plastic terminators onto newer, larger bases and then reattached a few arms and fixed up some damaged bits and pieces.

I spent 5 hours yesterday working on the horses for my chaos knights. Similar to the warriors I showed, but of course they're horses Looks very good but man did it take forever to paint

I will be locking this thread tonight and starting a new one for July.

[Admiral-Badruck]

so I will not post on it cause no one will be looking at it anymore...

all told I got 2 30k razor backs 1 rhino 1 vindicator 1 thunder rhino and 30K Kharn built... I also got 5 assault/ Vanguard Marines built as well... Paint on most of this but it is no where near done...

on a side note I painted 14 komandoz one truck and a built a few more Orks

I got rid of my Tau and kept the Kroot... someday someone will feel the wrath of the Kroot

World cup will be over soon and I will be able to do more... but for now that is what I got done with...

I guess this will not be enough to say I painted the most...

As Rob points out, it might actually be better keeping this motivational thread as one big uber long thread. Its no harder to navigate, as one can just click on "last page", and I imagine thats what folks do anyway. If theres a new thread for each month, ultimately we'll just end up with a load of threads cluttering up the painting forums.

[Admiral-Badruck]

well that would be good...
