buckyball Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 What are people planning on painting this month? My goals for the month are: Paint a game token from Marvel United continue working on Mithril miniatures for the quarter Paint two figures from the annual box. Paint one more viking 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 [ 12 so far] Painting one game token each month [ 10 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 [ 8 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. [Update: I went to Reapercon and bought a bunch of miniatures] 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Knight Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Wooooo, October! My goal is to continue painting every day, although I have a camping trip coming up in two weeks that will hamper that a touch. I'm planning on focusing on "Spooky" minis this month, hopefully knocking out that handful of Warmahordes Grymkin minis I have, plus ghosts, wraiths, fleshy undead and goblins from various Bones releases. I'm also considering tackling some of the Lovecraft monstrosities I've got in Bones - Cthulhu, Dagon, Nyarlathotep, Shibniggurath - I don't have a lot of experience with larger figures, so it could be a fun project. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citrine Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 I will set my goal for October back to my usual 4, should be doable as I started and finished 2 today (Oct 1). 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strawhat Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Last month was, to my mind, a disappointment. So I'm going to try setting a goal of "twice a week." If I go over, I go over. But I need to get started again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inarah Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 I'm going to continue digging into the pile on the paint desk: -- Bones 6 promo wizard -- human rogue -- barbarian -- female elf -- orc w/ missing shield -- giant scorpion -- sphinx -- plants & rocks terrain -- griffon -- etc Working daily for an hour or so on the sci-fi terrain is not exciting but progress gets made so I'll keep doing that. I've got piles of stuff ready to paint, dinosaurs, scratch built terrain, 3d printed pieces, more Adventure Cats, spaceships, Sophie's Revenge... but not likely to happen this month. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Great Khan Artist Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Minis: October is spooky season, let's paint monsters! Maybe do the Balrog who has been haunting the paint desk for quite some time. Terrain: Table cleaned off and cutting mat ready! Make some newspaper hills and add the leftover Woodland Scenics cactuses to them. Donate to game store. Cut the meat trays into blobs and place on skewers. Cover with plaster to make hoodoos. Keep some, donate some? Begin casting plaster bricks for winter projects. Maybe start a few? Make 10 little adobe houses for Sandgrave. Paint the MDF Sandgrave stuff. This will probably take all winter. Buy: Make Reaper order. Muskets and Tomahawks FIW ruleset. Patiently wait for SB: Canada pre-order, then consider buying FIW minis, including Flint and Feather starter box. Begin the annual search for bottle brush Christmas Trees. Look for gently used Lincoln Logs for FIW terrain. Game: Ask buddies if they want to get together to play LotR before the weather gets nasty. If yes, assemble nasty warband of wargs, bats, spiders, goblins and orcs for battle under trees. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olaf the Stout Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 October's painting goal will be the same goal I've had for a while now. Paint every day, even if it's as little as one brush stroke. I’m currently on Day 157 and going strong, but there will be a few challenging days this month. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evilhalfling Posted October 8 Share Posted October 8 still running on no motivation, after finishing the core set. But I guess I should come up with something: 1. finish terrain for red moon adventure 2. flying rocky 3. duo with a friend that moved across the pond 4. Trio with my long term team 5. 2 Non-reaper figure - moonlight minis, darksword, or small run Kickstarters - something I own that has been sitting. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rigel Posted October 17 Share Posted October 17 I've nearly finished a number of Goat Folk, and have frankensteined together some toys to make Space Beasts. They're getting painted up in bright colors. Working on some hotel personnel from Brigade Games as well; just trying to make a dent in the Heap of Minis. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glitterwolf Posted October 19 Share Posted October 19 With all the real life stuff at the moment, I doubt I will get any painting done. I hope this will change soon, second month of not really doing hobby stuff. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This month was a real slow-down for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
