how many minis do you paint a day

[Zincite]

Generally one per day of it's an ordinary Power-armoured model.

 

That is, of course, assuming that it's power armour (Nidz are much quicker), not a Character/detailed model, and I have about 2-3 hours spare in the day to do it.

[Chapter Master Ignis Domus]

I think some of the difference may be that a few of us include time to prep and assemble and all that, while the others only include actual paint time. If I included prep and assembly, it would take a whole lot longer than that.

Oooo, yah. That doubles the amount of time I'll spend on a miniature. (Higher detail miniatures need more Modeling work, generally, so that works.)

 

But the question was how many models do you paint a day.

[Warbringer]

I can paint between 1-5 models a day depending on what it is although i'm only spending something like 2/3 days to paint each month.

 

Need a 1500pt challenge to keep me motivated Forza4 is taking up all my time.

[moon]

Its depend of me what i do. Weekend i like it.

[KJB]

1 marine per week - thats usually 2 hours per night

 

I wont use a brush bigger than size 00

[FireFist]

Back when I actually had models to paint I could do 10-15 models a day. But that was because I was only using foundation paints and two of them at that. When I started getting into the more intricate models I dropped to 2-7 a day because of all the detailing and extra steps. Besides I was using the old blue GW brushes: tank, small dry-brush, standard, and fine detail brushes. I might buy some f the newer brushes but for now the blue ones work for me.

I can do 1-2 squads a week comfortably but I always have this issue where I'll have a squad nearly finished and have so much hype for the next project I'll do something stupid like forgetting to paint the bolters on what I'm doing at the moment and then I'll see it a few weeks later as I lay the models out for the game and get rather annoyed with myself ;)

[Hrvat]

I roughly takes me 5-6 days to paint 1 PA marine with 20-30 minutes a day.

[Kajae]

One if I'm lucky. On a weekend, perhaps two.

[OptiMAT]

If I really did do it all day, i.e. starting at 10:00am and going till 10:00pm, with obvious food toilet and eye strain breaks in between... 4.4 models.

 

Those 5 would be finished for all intents and purposes but would probably need a second coat to white areas, bases painting, and scripture painted/penned in.

Assembly line painting gets you through!

Phew.

 

In reality however, that works out as 0.14 models a day, because I only (get to) paint on Sundays.

[Kronk]

I budget time for painting and modeling. If I can knock out 4 or 5 orks in that time, great! If I finish assembling a Dreadnought, that's fine.

 

I don't really worry about a talley, so I couldn't tell you.

 

Since I started dating again, I have less time for painting.

[Rider-75]

when i'm actually painting flat out i'll get about a 10 man unit done to high TT quality (i hate anything less....) in about 2 days.

 

at the moment though my average must be about 0.000000000000000001 per day. too much other daily stuff to deal with to have time to paint :P

hehe :P

That is not an option for me. Or rather it is an option I will not take.

Instead I spend my evenings painting with my partner.

[Gaeus Marius]

I can paint about 5 troops or one vehicle in a day, but that is to a decent Tabletop standard (about the best I can do anyway :P ). With characters, it drops to one a day. Dreds take a couple of days to crank out.

[Olis]

I think, for me, it's more of a case of days per mini, rather than minis per day... :)

[Seahawk]

Generally, one unit or one vehicle per day. When in a crunch, I'll paint more faster, but I'll never skimp on the details.

 

For instance, did a fully painted and based 50-model Warriors of Chaos army in four days.

 

More recently, did a fully painted and based 70-model Tomb Kings army in a week.

 

And even more recently than that, a 21-model Grey Knights army in a couple days (though to be fair, half was already done long before then :blink:).

[fivepointedstar]

0.0023 a month.

 

Most in a year maybe five.

My Son takes up all my time.

[cyvash]

for me it really depends,it took me one day to finish 19 thousand sons and a chaos lord on a disk of teentch, gaureenteed they already had the base coats applied the previous day

[juggernot]

Hmm, the most I did was 40 Marines in a single night. But I regretted it the next morning( 5 hours after finishing the painting had a tournament to go to). On average I think I can do 5 a day to make sure I can paint them well.

[Sons of the Forge]

Im very slow 1 model whenever I get round to it considering I have finished 99.9% of my army with only my most recent addition of a converted metal captain to go. Overal sub-standard average painter but dont like to paint much at all.
