Let's Get Motivated - December 2022

Progress with updated list. I think it will slow down as there are two days left at the office.

-Finish third unit of Knights
-Finish second unit of Warriors
-Clean (and possibly glue) third unit of skinks
-Clean (and possibly glue) two bastiladons
-Prime fourth unit of Knights
-Paint one of Bastiladons

It mostly speaks for itself. Skinks are clipped from sprues and I will clean them during holidays. Bastiladon is finished apart from base and crew.

 

I have taken the leftover Troglodon parts from the Seraphon start collecting box and stuck them to a poorly moulded body loosely based on that brilliant guide on this forum. I basecoated it in Wraithbone out the pot today. Doesn't look too bad but definitely needs work. I consider this objective done... somewhat.

I have a small board I made a while ago with polystyrene and a flock mat which I cut up since it was getting damaged. It looks cheap and incomplete so i plan on doing some work on it with modelling compound and some paints. There's still lots of white polystyrene visible, I plan on changing that.

 

Mordor Orcs in spades

- Finish painting at least 10 Mordor Orcs
- Paint 5 Wild Wargs

- Make some farming scenery

- Have a game night with my brother

Grrr, !mrahil

We're halfway through the month, and I've surpassed any hobby goals I could have thought up for the month.

 

I've done more this month than I thought initially possible

 

What I initially planned:

I managed to do all of this and on top of that:
-Prime fourth unit of Knights
-Finish first unit of Temple Guards
-Finished kitbashed Oldblood
-Finished one Bastiladon
-Finished Skink chief on stegadon

Pretty much painted all four of the lotr characters over the last five days, with Gandalf finished this morning. I was going to try and push and get a couple of the Models of the Month cleared but started getting a bit of eye twitch, so have given up for the year.

Will try and get pictures uploaded over the next couple of days.
