Let's Get Motivated - May 2018

Hello all! The last month or so I have been getting back into painting and wargaming. I am starting my first ever paint blog later today. I'm going to show some my latest work. I am painting a stegadon right now, but I also have some DnD minis to share! Everyone here has inspired me to paint more!!

 

Yay! Glad we could be of inspiration!

I will check out your blog and give advice if warranted or requested

 

Ok. I'm stuck in a diner with unlimited diner coffee. Here's my plan for the week:

Monday going into teusday morning: when I get home, finish 6 salamanders with great weapons currently half painted.

Teusday:

Get up, morning duties.
Meet matinence, confirm fixed air conditioning unit.
Complete outstanding orders of basing material. Package and ship
1 hour break for lunch
5 employment applications
Paint saurus warriors with spears 0-20
Paint 3 final salamanders from this batch
Scrub down another section of troops from the primordial soup of the spawning pool.
Build 15 stormcast

Wednesday:

Morning duties
2-5 employment applications
Prime 16 stormcast and 10 wolves.
Paint wolves in two groups of 5
Paint stormcast in groups of 4
Prep more lizardmen for priming.

Thursday

Morning duties
2-5 employment applications
Prime lizardmen
Prep sphinx and greater abyssal
Prime sphinx and greater abyasal
Paint lizardmen

Friday:

Morning duties
2-5 employment applications
Build sacred skinks of Sotek
Paint other lizardmen.
Prime skinks of Sotek.

 

You've really got this planned out!

 

Posted my latest Seraphon models and some older models in my new blog! I hope to be posting more as I paint up my Seraphon!

 

I'm hyped up on the best caffeine known to man. I'm literally feeling like an mix of Fingolfin and Elrond from JRR tolkiens legendarium.

 

Whatever works for ya!

 

Reminds me of the day, when I put extra coffee powder in my coffee instead of sugar...

 

Ok, not dead yet, but 1/3rd done of all saurus spines. Hope the highlighting will be a little quicker than applying the base colour...

 

I adjusted my original target slightly to get a list ready for the 25th to play in warhammer world, this is what I've painted so far:

20 grots
20 squigs
1 gobba
1 shaman

And we're only half way!

 

Well well, it is the 16th already, so I guess I should post my progress. The starters came this week, so I had like 3 days instead of 16, but that's alright. I have build the troglodon and the saurus warriors, have carno and the knights left, as well as the conversions. I will get painting soon and they all should be ready till the end of the month, as I will probably speed paint the saurus warriors and upgrade them from there later. In that line of thought, can some of you kind gentleman give me some advice in regards to painting the troglodon, the model looks really good, but it is quite large and I tend to fuck up large models like the Imperial knight in 40k or some of the vehicles

 

I'm just trying to finish off my bastilladon, its coming along well

 

State of the Marcus, may 19th 2018:

Infantry model equivalency painted YTD = 206

primed and on deck:
4 Saurus spearmen
3 mantic salamanders

unprimed on the relatively current to do list:

16 Stormcast eternals for commission. 15 of those are unbuilt and need to be built with upgrade shields
20 saurus shields
a whole bunch of unit bases
at least 3, but probably 15 or so saurus temple guard. i have not counted the blighters yet.
at least 6 saurus knights
other lizardmen
88 dwarf spearmen
1 royal undead cavalry test model
tomb guard
sphinx
dread tomb king on royal beast.

notes:

We have breached the 200's. Normally i do this in April or earlier. A little late, but damn, losing your job sucks away free time in some ways having a job does not.

I've still got a ways to go this month to reach my goal of 250 infantry model equivalency. we'll get there though. the plan is to have the saurus/salamanders done by the end of the weekend, knockout the stormcast commission between applications/order processing during next week. that will bring me to 245.

 

Smashed target....

Painted:

20 grots
20 squigs
1 gobba
1 shaman
1 warboss on squig
2 herders
6 fanatics
1 collosal squig

and a partridge in a pear tree

 

Nor do I see a pear tree base
