vutpakdi Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I suddenly don't feel so bad about the number of minis that I finished in 2008 (particularly in the last 4 months). Though I'm still trying to find the right balance. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidVC04 Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 I painted 31 models to comprise an Ogre Kingdoms army. Even though I decided to sell it (last batch goes out tomorrow), I got a lot from the enterprise. For all but the flesh and hair, I used RMS paints and learned a lot about them. On characters and gorgers, I practiced blending and glazing. Before I had painted lots and lots of Wood Elves, so I wanted experience with other colors, which I got painting the striped pants. From January to March, before the Ogres were started, I painted 33 Eternal Guard. So yeah, I got a lot done, over 60 models painted to a high standard. In the fall of 09 I hope to return to school because you can never have too many degrees. That'll cut back on painting pretty seriously, so I hope to really crank some out between now and then. This summer I will take full advantage of being a teacher and paint myself blue, well, figuratively blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Outkast Samurai Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Well thanks to the Malvie army I painted out for Origins it shoved my total into the several hundred mini range, unless you want to count those 42 bases of infantry as separate minis for each trooper then it just gets sick.......

GreyHorde Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 In the end it's not about the numbers, but whether or not your enjoyed yourself. Let's see some groups photos of all these minis then! Are you looking to get group photos in this thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant_Crunch Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 That was the intent. I'm trying to give yall an excuse for gratuitous self horn blowing. That and I think it's cool to get everything together, especially when you don't think you've done much and you suddenly don't have enough space in the light tent.

GreyHorde Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Alrighty then, I'll start things off with my Class of 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettagirl Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Hey GreyHorde! You might not of got a lot of figs painted, but man, they do look awsome! I still have to do a count of mine. But, I'm on my way to my FLGS for some group painting. I'll let you all know soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant_Crunch Posted January 3, 2009 Author Share Posted January 3, 2009 Greyhorde, you have definitely gone quality over quantity there. I'd love to have any one of those in my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironworker Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I'll have to sort my stuff out and see what I actually finished this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Snack Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 I would take those 5 GreyHorde, my 2 weren't even that good... I can't take a pic of one of them, it was for an exchange (VERY late), and the other is poor tabletop quality, it was a conversion for a SWSE game that was canceled (never did get back around to touching it up after the campaign ended)...

GreyHorde Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Thanks, all! I looked at your blog and galleries, Sarge - very nice! Biker Chick Sophie is still my favorite, though. And those 6mm minis - dem is teeny! Great stuff. I look forward to seeing more posts and photos out here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warlordgarou Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I'd have to check, but I think I only finished a few figs (less than 20) in 2008, and most of those were touching up and basing stuff that had been 90% completed for several years. On the other hand, I trimmed, assembled and primed at least the following: 210 Orks 12 Deffkoptas 1 dread 40 Marines 11 Leman Russ tanks 1 Predator 3 Rhinos 2 Terminus Land Raiders 1 Razorback 60 Imperial Guard 6 Guard heavy weapons teams 1 Chimera 1 Hellhound and that's off the top of my head. I know I got a bunch of CAV stuff to the primer stage (another 60 models, I think, plus 30-40 infantry bases), and some FoW stuff from NIB to partial paint. For 2009, I plan to not buy as much (yarite!) and try to paint stuff and solve my stowage and transport problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psyberwolfe1 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Well. Lets see... I would suspect 50 figures and 3 vehicles. I also entered every contest at my two FLGSs, and took some first places. Best Army(40K), Best Single Figure(40K), Best single unit (40K), and I am pretty proud that I made the cut into the public voting for the Reaper Halloween Contest. I also had my Ork Truk published in Bell of Lost Souls "Macharian Crusade." Mind you this was accomplished while attending school, and having a pregnant wife. This year my only goal is to have at least one entry per category at Reaper Con. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nameless Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 At the end of 2008 my showcase looked like this: Some of these had been painted before 2008 though. EDIT: I painted some more minis, but they have been given as gifts or sold, and as such are no longer part of my collection :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombwalker Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Managed around 40-50. Mostly for our aming club. Unfortunately i havn't had chance to pick up a brush since November, if not before that. Humph! Hoping to get back in the saddle again soon. Got a game looming needing figs. Have to get a batch ready for that. Got to get house straight again , post-hols! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
