Hello boys and girls and welcome to Let's Get Motivated - November 2021 This thread is too 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, Imrahil
The following will be my goals for this month: - reading and voting on the Short Story contest - painting a Rivendell Knight - assembling the models for a Battle Company for the commission and if our schedules allow it: - have an game night with my brother OH and finaly. - trying not to post to much on LO before finishing my project for ascension to Slannhood Grrr, Imrahil

This month I’d like to paint 8 Saurus Warriors. Maybe a little ambitious considering my painting speed and work/parenting duties, but I’ll give it a go.
Well I had a very unproductive October. Hopefully this month will be better. My only goal is to make as much progress on my temple guard as possible.
Well last month was a failure in that I was not able to get my Necromancer done in time. Thusly he has been rolled over into this month and a new roulette shall be set up... For this month: 1 – Classic Queek Headtaker 2 – Two Bloodletters 3 - Classic Wight Standard Bearer 4 – Fellowship Aragorn 5 - A Sister of Battle (painted as a random Order) 6 - Flói Stonehand And the dice say...Fellowship Aragorn! Anyway... Assemble: GW Model of the Month: Paint: Taddeus the Purifier: 8 Classic Dwarf Thunderers: Model of the Month: Reikenor the Grithailer: 1 Grimghast Reaper: Necromancer: Fellowship Aragorn: Base: Reikenor: 10 Grimghast Reapers: 1 Sprit Torment:
As I was away most of October I haven't done much on my Lizardmen warband for Mordheim so for this months my goals are: - Assembling/converting 2 Skink Great Crests. - Painting 2 Saurus Braves and the Skink Priest. Not much but I'd rather be realistic.
My goal is 5 Temple Guard, Emerald Lifeswarm and a 2nd Bastiladon assembled and painted. That will leave me needing 2 Stegadons and 1 Engine of the Gods for my first Thunder Lizard list.
I haven't been able to do much stuff recently due to studies, and this month will also be quite busy for me, so I'll probably Just finish my skinks from some time ago as I found the perfect colour for their claws. As a ,,bonus" I'll hopefully finish the guy from october since he had to be repainted because I just didin't like his previous color schemes.
There has been some activity on the hobby front: - reading and voting on the Short Story contest >> my reviews << - painting a Rivendell Knight - assembling the models for a Battle Company for the commission and if our schedules allow it: - have an game night with my brother OH and finaly. - trying not to post to much on LO before finishing my project for ascension to Slannhood (this one is getting tight ) Grrr, Imrahil
Since November is already underway, it will only be a small project this month. I will finish my second Skink Starpriest from the starter box.
New goal checked off: - reading and voting on the Short Story contest >> my reviews << - painting a Rivendell Knight - assembling the models for a Battle Company for the commission and if our schedules allow it: - have a game night with my brother OH and finaly. - trying not to post to much on LO before finishing my project for ascension to Slannhood (this one is getting tight ) Grrr, Imrahil
I'm very late to the game here, but with a new army starting (Chaos Dwarfs) I need to get going. Even though it's late, I'd like to paint my two new Deathshrieker Rockets and assemble the two Magma Cannons. All I'm gonna say is thank god for Christmas and having a birthday right near it as well (helps to offset expenditures!)
Got all my goals done for this month all I do now is extra - reading and voting on the Short Story contest >> my reviews << - painting a Rivendell Knight - assembling the models for a Battle Company for the commission and if our schedules allow it: - have a game night with my brother OH and finaly. - trying not to post to much on LO before finishing my project for ascension to Slannhood (this one is getting tight ) Grrr, Imrahil
This time I finished well in the time I set myself, also here, as always, the photo in the gallery: Skink Priest / Skink Starpriest
My final count at the end of the month is: Assemble: Model of the Month: Squig - Completed! Da Red Gobbo on Bounca - Completed! Paint: Taddeus the Purifier - 8 Classic Dwarf Thunderers - Model of the Month: Squig – Completed! Reikenor the Grithailer – Completed! 1 Grimghast Reapers - Completed! Necromancer - Fellowship Aragorn - Completed! Base: Reikenor – Completed! 10 Grimghast Reapers – Completed! 1 Sprit Torment - Completed! Model of the Month Squig - Completed! And that completes my Nighthaunt 1k point list. Poor Taddy...he's so close to being finished but I haven't been in the right mind to do the final highlights and script work. Another one of the Thunderers is done bar highlights. The Necromancer still hasn't even been stripped...I will repaint him one day... Will post picture-things on blog-thing soon...
Well, I've got to say I failed. I converted the Skink Great Crest and only painted one. And regarding the Saurus I did it, but again, I didn't touch the Skink Priest as I wanted to paint him in an albino way and haven´t got the right idea just yet.
As expected not much was done but i can still count what I finished Repainted skinks, they're still painted in aethermatic blue, but using wraithbone as a base coat and not drowning them in contrast paint makes them look nicer. Assembled my 3 "chiefs" Decided to give up on the priest for now as whatever i do he just dosen't want look right, he'll be finished once Im 110% sure that this is the way I want to go with him
Well...not much progress made unfortunately. I managed to get 10 Temple Guard to about 75% completion. Definitely not hitting my year long target
Unfortunately, I also did not complete my goal. I had actually taken this week off work in part to advance my hobby projects, but life got in the way: a power outage, a baby doctor's visit, and a pantry infestation requiring an exterminator. Thankfully, I'm not too far from finishing so it'll be first priority for December.
