Let's Get Motivated - April 2023

Hello boys and girls and welcome to Let's Get Motivated - April 2023

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, !mrahil

 

This month will be less about dinos, but I'll try to do at least something. We'll see how it goes as I'll lose whole first week while working from home and then there is Easter.

Paint Stegadon
Glue and prime rest of krieg kill team-(currently waiting for models)
Paint whole krieg kill team
Paint tactical marine kill team
Glue and paint last unit of german grenadiers
Prepare and paint 3D printed Sd.Kfz. 234
Probably start working on some Death Guard models

 

This month is the month my Slaanesh models get a paint job!

Take a lord of Pain accompanied by his unit of Painbringers from "Battle ready" to "Slightly more ready for battle".
Paint Blissbarb Seekers. The mounts are coming along nicely but the riders haven't been touched other than a black undercoat.
Paint The Masque. Love the model, one of the reasons I started a Slaanesh army in the first place. Currently only has a black undercoat.

 

The last couple of months my focus was a bit scattered. I was switching a lot between Middle-Earth, 40K, Kill Team, AoS and so forth, which lead to some fatigue. So I decided recently to mentally close all those different backlogs and refocus completely on my first love: Seraphon (that’s why I‘m here btw ).

That being said: My goal for April is simply to paint my already primed Starblood Stalkers. It’s an intentionally small project to be achievable and a good base for any future Seraphon projects.

My goals for this month are the same as the ones from last month:

- finish painting my remaining 5 Saurus Knights
- finish painting 5 Saurus Warriors

Grrr, !mrahil
