2026 Mission to smash the pile of potential
2026 Status Report: 5 Armies & 200+ Minis in 5 Weeks!
Hey everyone, I sat down to do the actual math on my progress for 2026 so far, and I was honestly surprised by the numbers. It’s only early February, but the mission to smash the pile of potential is going better than expected.
I have managed to get 5 distinct forces to a playable standard or better. Here is the official damage report on the backlog:
-
Neon Necrons: 100+ Miniatures (The swarm is real!)
-
Death Guard: 67 Miniatures
-
Grey Knights: 20 Miniatures (Including the 6 Dreadknights)
-
Chaos Daemons: 14 Miniatures (Forces of the Warp)
-
Imperial Knights: 9 Miniatures (5 Questoris/Dominus & 4 Warglaives)
The Grand Total: That is 210+ miniatures painted in just over a month.
The ‘Knight a Night’ project was great for points efficiency, but churning through 100+ Necrons and nearly 70 Death Guard really bumped up the model count. As always, the airbrush, dry brushing, and sponge weathering have been my best friends to keep this pace without burning out.
I’m happy to share recipes for any of the specific schemes (the Neon Necrons or the dirty Death Guard, especially)—just let me know in the comments!
Now… what’s next?
