Painting goals for March 2023


Recommended Posts

It is March

What are people planning on painting this month?

 

My goals for March are:

  •  Paint a game token for Marvel United
  •  Paint two Mithril miniatures
  •  Paint two more figures from the annual box.
  •  Paint this quarter's terrain piece Baba Yaga's hut

 

    buckyball

 

Hobby goals for 2023

     Painting one large terrain piece each quarter or several smaller pieces. The goal here is to complete enough to use in a game or scenario [Check!]

     Painting the 17 miniatures in my annual box  [ 5 ]

     Painting  one game token each month [ 3 so far ]

     Painting three Mithril miniatures each quarter. This works out to an average of one per month; but this way I can paint them in batches [ 3 so far]

     I also have the unusual goal of not buying any miniatures (for myself) in 2023. I have no idea how I will accomplish this ( 101 days since my last miniature purchase)

I'm making progress on HeroQuest, so I see no reason to change it up now.

 

March goals are:

  • HeroQuest Orcs (x8)
  • HeroQuest Heroes (x4)

If I get through all those, I'll start on the Mythic section (probably focusing on the Dread Warriors and Abominations first).

I'm dropping my monthly Malifaux mini goal (I'm not painting at the same speed I used to, and I was a pretty slow painter to start with!), I'll always keep one on the desk but I won't worry about how long it takes me to get it done.

Instead, I'm going to try and get some large half-finished minis fully finished.

 

So this month I've got 3 minis to finish (Big masked dude, Shackleman and Nightingale). If/when they're done Masked dude gets replaced with the next Malifaux mini (Cowardly Juggernaut), the other two will be followed by Astri (Who is large) and the Mirror Mage.

My painting goals for the month are:

 

Start painting again!

 

I don't care what, just paint something! It helps I'm getting down to the last few items I need to print out for my side of the screen for my ReaperCon games. Also, my trip to Boise last weekend, helped spurred on the hobby with a few paint purchases & such.

Declared goals this month are 

 

Centaurs for the fantasy Greek army 

Some of the Bronze Age Minis KS (Half Pint Heroines) 

Scifi soldiers to round out a 'military' force I have for Stargrave or Xenos Rampant. 

 

Something I want to do before the end of the year is go through my claymore castings hundred years war minis, my footsore miniatures Welsh, and do a fantasy 'Arabian nights' army that could also work in part for the Crusades.

Plan is to spend March cleaning off the paint table by finishing existing projects. 

 

Leftover from previous months: 

-- Reaper undead wolves

-- Reaper female elf wizard with staff

-- " grave marker/shrine

-- " orrery

-- a shed load of plastic sci-fi terrain 

-- the new Owlbear

-- 3d printed eye beast from a friend

 

Added:

-- reapercon '22 mousling

-- one of the B5 elf archers

-- the vampires from the Ravenhome set  -- probably going to take more than one month to do these

 

Have found that I can get a lot of work done on the terrain in the morning during a twitch stream.  Since I am batch painting, typically doing one color at a time, and repetitive work I don't need a lot of space or tools.  One brush, one pot of paint, a tiny cup of water and a towel.

I'm going to go with my version of simple for this month.

- Finish prep for Meirsoa bust, prime, and get first base coats down.  In oils.  Anything more is icing on the proverbial cake.

- Paint last two Conquest: The Last Argument of Kings objective markers/tokens

- Finish prepwork on customized Zaku II

- Build a kit (MG Ginn or BIG Eevee)

- Start building currently unnamed Voron 2.4

Mid-month update:-

The good news is that I'm painting, the bad news is I'm painting skeletons.

 

It's like at a certain point my brain just rebels against the idea of actually planning out what I'll work on.
