Impressive Xenith, very impressive. Doing the "paint a single Company in one year" challenge for the next five years?

Haha. No.

 

I have half the 4th already, half the first, then another half company between the 8th and 10th.

 

The 4th company will be entirely new plastic, while My second ed stuff will be second company (geddit?).

 

Id love to buy a squad of push fit 2e from you X..

Theyre in storage for the moment so no rapid access, but I'll shoot you a pm when I dig them out :smile.:

 

EDIT:

 

I remembered another flamer baal I have. Added to the list.

 

EDIT2:

Bought the SM command tanks...added.

1x Aegis defense lines

1x thunder hammer death company marine

 

I am also working on possibly a 5 man squad of Gunslinger Van Vets. Only have weapons picked out at the moment.

 

I also have bits and bobs that can probably put together another squad of marines. No plans for them at the moment.

So officially..

 

-1 DC Chaplain

-1 Land Raider (almost completely done...)

-1 Lamartes (I missed this one???)

 

But....

 

+10 Vanguard Vets

 

No clue what I am going to kit the van vets with. Thinking half gunslingers w/ relic blade sarge and half storm shield/claw troops with 1x thunder hammer? No clue at this point.

Though the pile grows, my shame is diminished. Many models are getting fully assembled, and many others are getting primed, and a handful even have some base coats. That said, I think my Khorne red is about dead. It seems to not be going on as well anymore, like I've used up all the good and only thicker, clumped dregs are left. I've also definitely been feeling more of an AdMech itch lately (that pile was far more shameful!), so my BA work has been slower.

I got an idea to shake up this thread and maybe help some people with motivation:

We should all post PICTURES of our piles of shame. Maybe along side a picture of our painted and completed models? I was thinking about using some of the time of the holidays to get it all out and take some pictures of it. It doesn't have to be a huge re-organization of your hobby stores (but that might be helpful), but even just pictures of all the storage where you keep the piles of shaming plastic/metal/resin would help people be encouraged to focus and find what they actually want to work on next.

 

One of my secret favorite things with this hobby is looking back at the stuff I've painted, planning on what to work on next, and organizing the purchases to better hide the extent of them. I don't have display shelves or cabinets, so sometimes I need to look through the boxes of foam holding miniatures to be reminded of how far I've come.

I like this idea.
