About the Project

I signed up to the GW painting challenge. Knowing that I have well over a hundred GW minis unpainted I thought it would be an easy enough task. Then I realised the expiry date set the bar higher than I expected. I have to do this by the 9th of May! That's almost a miniature a day from the date I made my pledge. Oops. I will give it the good old college try. 🤷 Wish me luck.

I want to finish this set of minis ASAP. I wish it was mainly because I wanted to get a game played or just to add the tally to my hundred. I want to finish these ASAP because sadly I am not enjoying painting them. It's my own fault for choosing the black trim on the coat, but I feel committed to it and I just have to knuckle down and finish the set. I think they will look pretty good as a squad at the end, but it's become a chore rather than a joy.I want to finish this set of minis ASAP.

I have stalled slightly, but know where I am going next.

I have 5 Flamer toting Space Marines from the front of a Combat Patrol magazine. Built and primed black.

I have about 5 Leagues of Votann Killteam minis built and primed red. I don’t know why I have been adverse to getting into these. They are nice models.

I bought the newly released Spearhead Magazine. It has a collection of 3 characters for only £2.99. Skaven and Stormcast. Though I had these in my Skaventide box, for that low cost it felt like a bargain and they may play as multiples in the game. Really looking forward to the second release as it’s 3 rat ogres for only £6.99 and I loved painting the 3 I already have.

I have two characters from the Crimson Coven? Underworlds minis that I actually bought just to be characters in my skirmish games like Silver Bayonet and Frostgrave etc. These too have been primed for a while, but there’s something about how busy the model’s details are is putting me off.

I have two witch hunters, one of the anniversary or special release minis. Galen and Doralia ven Denst: Outnumbered.

I have a day off but a bit busy, the weekend should be available to get back on track though.

I also have a Lion to prime and paint. The spare heads are encouraging me to consider a Belial conversion from a cheap terminator captain mini from the Combat Patrol Magazine.I also have a Lion to prime and paint.

Finished my mates team of 5 fanatics. I believe there's a 6th one that is on a diorama somewhere but these have been a lot of fun. I think playing with them would bug me because they like to fall over, but with a bit of weight underneath the base I am sure that could be solved.Finished my mates team of 5 fanatics.

I start off batch painting and then one in the set will look more finished than the rest and I dive into finishing it.
