Well it’s the end of the month so let’s see how I am doing on my resolutions.
Paint 867 Models – Completed
Well lockdown and Chainrasps helped me smash the target for the year in July, so I guess we see how many I can get painted this year in total!
Right now I have painted 875 models!
Finish Painting the Blood Ravens I Own on 1st January – 87.5% Complete
At the end of the month it was looking like I wasn’t going to get any of this done in July, so I promoted the Redemptor Dreadnought to the top of the queue and finished that so I made a bit of progress on this.
Left to do are five units which is incredible considering how many I had to do at the start of the year. So left to paint are
- Intercessors with Bolt Rifles x 10
- Intercessors with Stalker Bolt Rifles x 10
- Hellbalsters with Plasma Incinerators x 10
- Hellblasters with Heavy Plasma Incineratirs x 5
- Inceptors with Plasma Exterminators x 3
Finish the Death Guard – 84.62% Complete
This month I painted the Chaos Spawn for the Death Guard, but I have changed the numbers as I have bought the Space Marine Heroes Series 3 from Japan.
I consider them one thing though, so they don’t affect the numbers that much.
Complete 2000 Points of Stormcast Eternals – 75.5% Complete
I started off by painting the Evocators from Soul Wars.
And I followed those up with the Castigators from the same set, which now means I have completed the Stormcast Eternals side of Soulwars.
Because of the Generals Handbook 2020 being published I had to compile a new list, which is here.
+ Leader [540pts] +
Knight-Incantor [120pts]
Knight-Venator [110pts]
Lord-Aquilor [170pts]: 0. Single-minded Fury, 0. Stormrage Blade, General
Lord-Ordinator [140pts]: Astral Hammers
+ Artillery [220pts] +
Celestar Ballista [110pts]

Vanguard-Raptors with Hurricane Crossbows [140pts]: 3 Vanguard-Raptors with Hurricane Crossbows [140pts]
+ Malign Sorcery [30pts] +

Lots of points went down which leaves me needing to add mire units, but this was simple as the Gryph-Hounds fitted into the slot nicely.
So left to paint for this list are:-
- Lord Arquilor
- Vanguard-Hunters with Storm Sabres x 5
- Vanguard-Hunters with Shock Handaxes x 5
- Gryph-Hounds x 6
