My target for month 1 was to paint Kharn the Betrayer and 20 Chaos cultists. Against this target, I have fully painted 8 Cultists. The remaining 12 are in progress, with bases for all completed. I am still to receive my Kharn model from GW, although I think its at the post office ready for me to collect.
I'll show a pic of the completed models, but won't show the WIP as this has already been shown in previous posts:
The status of other models towards my Khorne army is:
- Aegis Defence line part painted;
- Two rhinos part glued, with FW extra armour to be added;
- 10 Berserkers and 3 obliterators glued and waiting to be undercoated;
- Part Painted Hellbrute, Lord and Chosen from the Dark Venegeance set;
- Glued Terminator Chaos Lord from FW
As you can see, I have spent several hours working towards a completed army, yet haven't met my target. I think the moral of this story is to meet targets I have to focus entirely on a given set of models, and not be too scattergun. I've found that difficult given lots of new shiny toys arriving this month and finding lots of inspiration for gluing, but not painting (something I'm sure is down to my fixation with Lego as a child).
Anyways, given that I don't expect to have a lot of free time available for painting over the next 3 weeks, due to Xmas parties and going home for a week to see family), I've decided to set an easier target this month, of the 3 Obliterators (210pts plus marks) and 1 Rhino (40pts with Dirge Caster). I expect to fail this, especially given I'm playing catch up from November.
I do expect to pick up the pace at the beginning of January though, with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th being put aside just for hobbying. I'm still on leave after Xmas, whilst the other half is back at work on the 2nd - a great opportunity to get lots of painting done!
