    Hello boys and girls and welcome to Let's Get Motivated - May 2025

    This thread is to get us motivated each month into finishing projects that we have on the go, the rules are fairly simple.

    At the start of the month post what you intend to try and finish this month, it can be models/terrain/conversions of any game type. No pressure if you don't finish anything this is for motivation nothing else.

    Around the middle of the month post your progress, no images please, if you have want to share your progress with images, upload them into your blog and supply a link.

    Around the end of the month post your progress, again no images, if you have finished a piece upload the images into your blog and supply a link.

    The reason I don't want images in this thread is too get everyone that takes part views in their personal blog where the community can critique, etc.

    You don't have a paint blog? well get one started in this forum section.

    If you need advice etc. post here and the community will try and answer.

    I'm looking forward to seeing everyone share their progress

    Grrr, !mrahil

    May Goals:

    Paint the last 10 saurus redcoats
    Finish painting horses for Empire knights
    Get started on painting the actual knights to ride those same horses

    Short, punchy, to the point. Alas, with numbers enough that it comes down to free time and how much of it I have.

    After achieving my April goal of rebasing 100 skink skirmishers (ended up being 99 o_O - anyone got a skink with a Javelin floating around?) My focus is on painting Lady Elysse Duchaard. She's the last model for my Bretonnian force that needs painting and i'd like to purchase a Trebuchet. Not allowed until I have a fully painted collection. Once i've done that the goal is to rebase a brick of Saurus and prime all the models i've rebased.

    So goal for the month is:
    1. Paint Lady Ellyse Duchaard
    2. Rebase 20 Saurus
    3. Prime rebased skinks & saurus (approximately 120 models)
    If all that gets completed quickly then i'll add
    1. Paint Nemesis Claw Kill-Team
    2. Paint a Daemon Prince
