Paint log for July 2012

Sometimes I feel there is something lacking from this blog and it is something that will help me through what is my least favourite part of the hobby: painting (a fact that is well publicised on these pages). So with no more free time for the rest of the month, here are my painting achievements for July:

Rasyat x 2 (combi rifle and spitfire) and Kurgat x 2 (MK12 and autocannon) undercoated à finished and based

Destor Thane, Sylys Wyshnaylrr and Nayl undercoated à finished and based

Viktorias, Taelor, Bishop, Johan, Student of Conflict, Misaki, Ronin x3, Von Schill, Freikorpsmann x 2, Freikorpsmann Trapper, Freikorpsmann Specialist, Freikorpsmann Librarian, undercoated/partially done à finished and based

Road Hog x 2 and Dr Arkadius unassembled bare metal à basecoated

Flameguard Cleansers + UA assembled bare metal à undercoated

22 models completely finished and 14 more on their way to being done. Not so bad for me really, although it really helped having some wonderful Infinity models to paint. These Morat models are some of my favourite and have really motivated me recently. Another motivational tool I’ve been using has been my paint spreadsheet. I keep track of what I’ve done and it helps me plan what I need/want to do nest.

The plan for August is to finish off the Cleansers, and then paint up my second unit of Daughters and finish off eFeora for the upcoming Steamroller qualifier. Then I would like to try and paint up a second unit of Zealots, second Errant UA, Vindictus and a Reclaimer while finishing off another Errant Seneschal. If there is any more time in the month, I’d like to try and finish off (a lot of them are partially finished so shouldn’t take much work at all) as many of my Menoth jacks as I can and get Amon painted. A very big ask, but we’ll see what can be done.
