Its been a
while.
So, here's
the deal: at the end of July I had managed to finish painting a nice,
round one hundred models since the beginning of the year. I set
myself a little task of bettering that total in the second half of
the year. Over the last two months a lot of personal stuff, work
stuff and general stuff happened and I have not had time for much in
the way of hobby (or writing or much of anything really) and my grand
total so far has been...
*checks

… three
Zoanthropes.
This leaves
me ninety-seven models away from my aim of finishing a second hundred
miniatures this year and four months to do it in. Its not impossible
especially as this push was always to finish
models, not start them from scratch. There are any number of
half-finished models in boxes and draws I could turn my hand to.
Knowing me that won't happen so much as new things will catch my
interest but a man can dream.
One
thing I definitely want to get on is that of the one hundred and
three models I've finished this year not one has been for Fantasy. I
remember wanting to do an elf army of some sort earlier in the year
that never materialised and this seems as good an opportunity to
start on that. I've also joined a Warhammer Fantasy group on Facebook
since the Deathwatch group I joined has been such an inspiration on
that project.
Okay,
if I'm being honest the main motivating factor with the Deathwatch
group has been the chance to show off my models and get nice
comments. Sue me.
I
don't really have a definite plan, I'm just going to pick up whatever
from the backlog. I do want to paint a mode varied set of miniatures
though, my recent Deathwatch monomania perhaps being a factor in how
unmotivated to paint I've been recently.
And
if I need to hurry through the process and make up the numbers a bit
there's always my overstuffed shoebox of Skull Pass Night Goblins
aka the easiest starter set miniatures ever devised.
