Well shortly before the end of 2018 I got a bug up my rear end and decided to strip almost everything in my two armies, my deathguard were the first thing I'd painted and I've decided I can do better; and my space wolves I did in the standard baby blue which I want to redo in a darker, manlier scheme . I also decided to get an airbrush, so maybe that will speed things up? I'm going to try not to pick up anymore models until I make a decent dent in this pile, unless they bring Russ back which I will purchase immediately with no shame. My 2019 goals: Deathguard These all have at least base coats down 10 plague marines 20 pox walkers Typhus Daemon Prince *almost done* 3 Blight Haulers Bloat drone Blightspawn Biologus Putrifier Chaos Rhino Mortarion Leviathan Space Wolves These are all stripped and/or not started yet, lol I may be a crazy person 15 Intercessors 15 small marines 10 Hell Blasters Long fangs (Devastators) 3 Aggressors 6 Inceptors Anniversary Captain Gravis Captain Couple Lt.'s Wulfen Thunderwolf Captain Thunderwolf Calvary Njall Ulrik Runepriest Venerable Dreadnaught Leviathan Murderfang Redemptor 1 Razorback Predator And a Knight in a Pear tree

Finished up the wings last night and glued them bad boys on. Weird closet photo because I wanted to prop the wing up overnight.

Alright, I managed to skip the last several years due to laziness, but I need some focus to get through my backlog. Genestealer Cult: 1x Abominant (half-done) 1x Magus (half-done) 1x Patriarch 20x Genestealers 40x Neophytes 30x Acolytles 4x Aberrants 1x Goliath truck As the full release will drop soon I'm sure this list is bound to expand, but it's already a daunting amount of tiny dudes. Death Guard: 1x Tallyman 1x Typhus (half-done) 24x Poxwalkers 7x Plague Marines 1x Myphitic Blight-Hauler I also need to get a decent lighting setup and work on photography.

Figured I might as well ask in here: I’m hoping to drum up posting in the Sculpting Miniatures thread, (partially so it’s less of a log of my amateur sculpts and practice) and I thought something like a contest or giveaway might get people more willing to participate. What kind of stuff might entice people to give it a try? I figure online certificates for something like supplies or one of the Miniature Mentor videos might be a good way to start building some momentum there. Partially because I work during all post office hours and suck at getting things in the mail, partially because I never know what people need for their studios. Theming is also hard - I know that it can be daunting to post work in progress when it’s not particularly good, and I’ve had to overcome that block myself - and restrictive themes might be keep people out. Starting with something basic like “sculpt an addition beyond gap-filling on a miniature” might be a good start for things, as it’s casual enough that people could dip their toes in without feeling like they need to start from scratch. Any suggestions?

Since it's a thing, here's everything I painted in 2018 and- Well it's not much, is it. Still, I only started painting again about halfway through the year, and I enjoyed myself, so maybe this time around there'll be more in store.

Been playing Star Wars Legion off and on in 2018 but also started some kill team action as well. My goal for 2019 is to get a full 2000 point army to play 8th with and this is what i'm starting with so far My god bless my stupidity.

My year in miniatures for 2018 was ok, but much less than I'd hoped to do. Commission Work I finished a monster mash Tyranid Army for a client      he's now given me 60 gaunts, so that's going to be fun. and I painted a gate thing for someone.  Personal work           For this year, I'd like to focus on finishing my Steel Legion, competing a 20 man Cawdor gang, and make a Necromunda table. I've got 2 commission 1500pt armies to do as well.

The weather finally relented enough for me to finish this squad of Pathfinders i've been working on for about a month!  As a part of my resolution this year, I'm not going to move onto anything else until i've emptied a box of its contents, slapped it together and painted it. Five down, five more (plus drones) to go!

 Been a while since I painted an entire squad. I still have to do bases but I need to research how to do snow interestingly first. Feels a little busy with the sashes, gems and such.. I might not do as much detail work on the next squad, but I'm happy with the color scheme and the transitions.

i finished a couple of models today: Really happy with my primaris chaplain, copied the standard scheme but added my purple shoulder pads.   I'm surprised how well this Trukk turned out. I'm really growing to hate the Trukk kit, the previous one with the FW enclosed cab was annoying but this one was downright infuriating, the half-track took me all day to clean the flash and assemble, and they way it's made you have to assemble it on the chassis, you can't build the tracks off the vehicle to paint them. Then the plastic kit parts don't even fit together correctly, I had to add some plates to hide the fact that the driver is just kinda suspended in the cab because the pegs that are supposed to fit into the floor don't match properly.

Ick. Looks great! I like the splash of blue in the tabard and red near its midsection. The pallid flesh is a perfect shade to go with the green you've chosen.

It's just so nice to see something different. Job's a good'un! Those are the best looking wings I've seen on a Nurgle Prince, it's usually either the turbines or much bigger, more batlike wings. Those ones fit so well with so much of the other symbols.

Got a solid couple of hours before work today to do some painting. Feels good. Also, all my KR stuff finally showed up. They somehow managed to miss to pack the case I ordered and only sent the foam. Plus one tray for tau tanks that I most certainly didn't order. Anyway, their customer support rocks. I sent them an email, and I got the case in under three weeks despite Christmas and new years happening. E: sat down for a while after work as well, and now all the base colours and a healthy serving of various washes are down.

DotyManX posted:One down, many, many to go This is, no joke, my favorite work for this model I’ve ever seen. I think the model is kind of mediocre and most paint jobs are too blurred and messy (in a bad way). The clear distinction between flesh and armor with contrasting hues is doing a world of good. And as noted by others, the fly wings are fantastic. 10/10 great job

Not as good as the other stuff going on in this thread but these seven guys represent the first seven miniatures I have ever painted and honestly I am kinda proud with how they turned out. Still have to finish up the bases but C&C is always welcome.

On a slightly more on topic note, man I've got a lot to actually paint, going to finish the reaper guys first and hopefully by the time all of this is done I am reasonably comfortable painting things and I can buy more.

I haven't painted anything in months, but in the last couple weeks I recently got the itch again due to the Tanks starter box set. So here's the most recent thing I completed: a couple of WWII US Sherman tanks from the starter box. And getting back to the spirit of the thread: I recently played some games of Necromunda, and now I'm currently working on painting up some Chaos Cultists for NM.

I finished my latest Neophyte Cultist for my GSC kill team. I've got half my squad painted now!   And the latest one (who's head I completely hosed up on)  I also have a Acolyte Hybrid done but no good photo's of him. When I finish the squad I'll base them all since I prefer batch-basing to doing it after each model.

Painted the next 10 Skeleton Warriors, nothing special painting wise as they're 21-30 out of 40 and when in a block of 40 are worth 7pts each. Here they are mixed in with the first 10:  Got 10 more assembled with some gravestones and bits on the bases to mix in for a bit of decoration. Before I paint those though, I thought I'd take a break from Skeletons, with some armoured skeletons instead. Followed by a skeleton lord.
