Year 6 in Review (Pic Heavy)

[Rat13]

Though I am very late this year I still wanted to post last year's painting progress. Though I may not have gotten everything finished that I wanted to, especially that board game, I did manage to knock out a few big projects. I'm especially proud of the fact that I finally finished a project I started back in 2020.

 

First up was the remainder of my Ghost Archipelago project.

 

Next I completed what I had of my Warhammer Imperium subscription before I came to my senses and canceled it.

 

I also managed to clear my desk of all the random miniatures that had accrued on it.

 

Buying into a small historical wargame this year I really impressed the wife by painting it immediately.

 

My Robotech box was finally finished after two years of waiting for me to actually figure out how to paint them. In the end I didn't exactly get them how I wanted them but roughly painted is still better than just primed. 

 

I also created my first three cars for Gaslands.

 

I started a joke squad of Teenage Mutant Ninja Tau.

 

Taking the joke further I even painted some Foot Clan proxies.

 

I even got around to painting my Ion Age miniatures which renewed my interest in the system so much that I'll be buying into the games this year.

 

All together it's not my most massive horde but I'm still impressed. It honestly didn't feel like I painted that many miniatures this year.

Final numbers:

180- Figures/Vehicles

1- Christmas ornament 

TOTAL: 181

 

Only seven figures down from last year, I'm certainly surprised by that. I didn't hit my stated goal of three hundred this year but it's okay, I focused more on the project's I wanted to paint. I also didn't get stuck painting too many batch projects either which was nice.

 

*Note though some models may not in fact be the actual models from this year I did my best. It's hard to pull the exact model when dealing with so many, especially it they all look the same.

That's a lot of minis!

Great work!

I agree!

Wow...I'm impressed by the output. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Tau are great (as are the almost-Foot Clan ninja minis).

 

The Robotech models are my favorites (especially those Veritechs...such crisp detail!).

 

Everything else looks great, too. Those were just the stand-outs for me. You should be proud of getting so much work done this past year.

I appreciate that but they're really not as crisp as you may think. Their final show off pictures from the project are probably more truthful about their tabletop quality paintjobs.

VERY IMPRESSIVE! You are inspiringly prolific & your pieces are getting better all the time. That is a winning combo. OUTSTANDING WORK!

[AlonTey]

Sweet.  Loving seeing it altogether.  Favorites would be that one Wrath of Kings mini and the Wild West stuff.

I didn't even know there was a Wrath of Kings miniature in there, which one is it? I get a lot of figures secondhand so I don't always know what they actually are.

Yknow, squinting harder it might not be?  I was thinking it was a teknes war stomper in picture 3.

In this instance you're both right and wrong. I initially came across a single bit, in this case the seated fellow, in one of the forums boxes of goodwill rounds.

The rest of the walker I cobbled together with various bits I had on hand. If memory serves it was mostly made using 40k Ork bits. 

[Iridil]

Lots of diverse minis and projects - impressive!
