Brother Rathul Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Alright guys, I need some help. I want to work on my 40k models but I'm never really motivated to do so, so the question is, what motivates you guys to work on your models? For instance, something like playing Dawn of War or reading a Horus Heresy book.

Peacekeeper Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Seeing all the amazing and wonderful conversions and paint jobs on here motivates me to work on my models, I aspire to have models as well converted and painted as the guys on this forum.

puck Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Terrible science fiction movies from netflix usually involving Ron Pearlman, Nicholas Cage, Vin Diseal, etc. Usually my wife rolls her eyes and goes to bed after she hears my choice of movie so no distractions.

Vindicatus Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 In all honesty? I don't think about it at all. At. All. I go to work, hang out with friends, chill with the girl, all the normal stuff...and inspiration hits me. It's the inspiration to do something, try something out, or tweak something that motivates me to sit in the chair. Granted, it takes practice to get results, but once I start seeing results and how awesome it is, it motivates me to do even MORE. Â I'm also mildly masochistic (see Librarium Painting Challenge > Thunderhawk Gunship "Litany of Chastisement").

Br0ther Rafen Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Instead of making the average Joe, try to think of an awesome conversion that you would like to try, or maybe a unit that looks really bad ass (Thunderwolf Cavalry, Honour Guard, Stromraven, etc) and just try to make your own interpratation of it. Basically, conversions, conversions and more conversions! That, or have a look at some 40k artwork and try to make something similar. hope this helps.

Son Of Khaine Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 When I lose motivation I usually read some form of 40K book,watch some metal music videos and look at some artwork that if it's not warhammer related it could do in a pinch.

Hezrou Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I look at randon pics on coolminiornot and wonder why my pics got scored so bad. Look through old WD's.

WingsOfTheFalcon Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Seeing my finished minis is all the motivation I need to carry on. If I find myself flagging I stop batch painting and finish one mini off to get my motivation back.
