Resolutions Final Update and New Ones For 2021

By

On 31st December 2020

In Blog

So how did we get on in the end, well let’s take a look.

In the end we got 1413 models painted this year, which was absolutely incredible!

The featured photo you can is the first set of models I painted this year, and the last set, the first was a squad of Death Korps of Krieg Guardsmen and the last is a squad of Blood Ravens Intercessors with Assault Bolt Rifles.

If you want to take a look at what I painted, you can download the list here.

Paint 2000 Points of T’au – Complete

I finished painting the KV128 Stormsurge, which completed a 2000 point T’au army for 2020!

Complete 2000 Points of Orks – 27.65% Complete

I completed a Megatrakk Scrapjet, Mekboy Workshop and Meganobz this month, which gets me a bit over a quarter of the target.

But this was clearly not to be!

Rebase the Orks – 0% Complete

Yeah the box with them in is at the bottom of a big pile in what is now Lindsay office 🙁

Completed Resolutions

So this year I did the following!

  • Paint 867 Models
  • Finish the Blood Ravens I Owned on 1st January
  • Finish the Death Guard
  • Painted Mortarion
  • Completed 2000 Points of T’au Empire
  • Completed 2000 Points of Stormcast Eternals
  • Rebased the Blood Ravens

Resolutions for 2020

Seeing as the Hobby resolutions for 2020 went so well and I only failed two, I thought I would continue it this year.

But I will be more restrained in my aims, because the Orks were more than I could hand in 2020.

I will be following along with Paint Slam, the new name for Jessica’s Painthammer, you can find the Discord server for this group here.

So let’s take a look at the plan, I decided to be a bit more select and do it per system.

  1. Paint 2000 points of Necrons for Warhammer 40,000
  2. Paint 1000 points of Early War Germans for Bolt Action
  3. Paint 2000 Points of Flesh Eater Courts for Warhammer Age of Sigmar
  4. Paint The Scourge for Dropfleet Commander
  5. Paint Blackstone Fortress and it’s Expansions
  6. Bring my Mechanicum to 3000 points for Horus Heresy, including the Warhound Titan

I am also including a couple of would be nice to achieve things in here, but these aren’t hard and fast.

  • Rebase the Space Wolves for Warhammer 40,000
  • Finish the Orks with Megan’s Help
  • Finish the Blood Angels with Megan’s Help

I think these are achievable, and if I work hard I will get them done.

As with this year there will be a monthly progress round up.

So what’s my painting queue looking like right now?

  1. Zone Mortalis Terrain
  2. Escher Gang x 10
  3. Stormcast Eternals Vanguard-Palladors x 6 & Knight-Azyros
  4. Blood Ravens Bladeguard Veterans, Bladeguard Ancient, Lieutenant & Captain
  5. Sons of Horus Destroyers x 10
  6. T’au Y’vahra & Technical Drones
  7. Morgok’s Krushas & Morgwaeth’s Blade-Coven
  8. Blood Ravens Primaris Chaplain, Terminator Chaplain and Judicator
  9. Skaven Blood Bowl Team
  10. T’au Ghostkeel x 2

November Resolutions Update

By

On 30th November 2020

In Blog

I have this month I ended with 1295 minis painted so far.

With one month to go I am very interested to see how many will be the total for 2020.

But what about the rest of my resolutions?

Finish The Blood Ravens I Own on 1st January – Completed

I managed to finish the last two units for the Blood Ravens, a squad of Intercessors with Stalker Bolt Rifles and some Inceptors.

So that’s a lot of units painted this year, but the box looks much better with mostly painted units in it.

I actually have some more stuff left to paint for them that I awaited this year, so let’s see if I can get a bit more of this done before 2021!

Paint 2000 Points of Stormcast Eternals – Complete

This month I completed the list, with the painting of the six Gryph-Hounds and the Lord-Aquilor.

Really happy with this and right now all I have left to paint is two trips of Vanguard-Palladors.

Paint 2000 Points of T’au – 79.9% Complete

I completed the T’au Barracuda which leaves me with just the Stormsurge to paint for the list.

Complete 2000 Points of Orks – 15.25% Complete

This is being abandoned, Megan has specifically asked me if painting our Orks can be a joint project for next year, so I am reluctantly abandoning this resolution.

Rebase the Orks

I really need to get in with this, must do it this month!

September Resolutions Update

By

On 1st October 2020

In Blog

So this month I got to 989 models painted, but I didn’t get as much painted as I wanted to do, which is annoying.

I really much redouble my efforts in October.

I did find the joy of painting with a wet palette this month, and its a bit of a revelation.

Finish The Blood Ravens I Own on 1st January –

I haven’t gotten any of these painted this month 🙁

I still have to paint:-

  • Intercessors with Stalker Bolt Rifles x 10
  • Hellblasters x 10
  • Hellblasters with Heavy Plasma Incinerators x 5
  • Inceptors x 3

Finish The Death Guard/Paint Mortarion for Everchosen – Complete

No Stormcast were painted this month ;-(

Still left to paint are:-

  • Vanguard-Hunters with Storm Sabres x 5
  • Gryph-Hounds x 6

  • Strike Team x 10
  • XV25 Stealth Suits x 3
  • Sniper Drones x 4

By

On 1st September 2020

In Blog

The end of the month is here so let’s see where I am with my hobby resolutions.

This month brings me up to 934 completed models.

  • Gryph-Hounds x 6

Paint 2000 Points of T’au – 31.25% Complete

July Resolutions Update

By

On 1st August 2020

In Blog

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] +

Vanguard-Raptors with Hurricane Crossbows [140pts]: 3 Vanguard-Raptors with Hurricane Crossbows [140pts]

+ Malign Sorcery [30pts] +

Endless Spell: Celestian Vortex [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

June Resolutions Update

By

On 1st July 2020

In Blog

It’s the end of the month and we are 50% of the way through the year now so let’s see where I am in terms of my hobby resolutions.

The complete 1750 points of 40k stuff is going to be reassessed once 9th edition drops but based on what I have seen thus far, that might be getting upped to 2000 points.

And with the Generals Handbook landing next month I will also have to reassess the Stormcast Eternals list.

But this month I have a huge success and have completed the first resolution to 100%!!!

Paint 867 Models – 88%

I have now painted 773 models, so just over 100 off my target!!!

This month I painted a few more Space Wolves, a few Grey Hunters Pack Leaders, a Repulsor and an Iron Priest.

And I started my contribution to the podcasts show army, the Sons of Horus.

A big jump in the number is down to two Chainrasp Hordes that were 40 models strong each!

Finish Painting the Blood Ravens I Own on 1st January – 85% Complete

For the Blood Ravens I painted all five of my Chaplains, a 10 man Intercessor Squad, a Primaris and Firstborn Ancient, a squad of Aggressors and two Repulsors, although only one of those contributes to the resolution.

So right now I have 7 units left to do in order to fulfil this resolution.

Finish the Death Guard – 83.33% Complete

No progress made in these this month.

Complete 2000 Points of Stormcast Eternals – 67%

So last month I decided to make it a 2000 point list I have to paint, so I have formed a list consisting of stuff I have painted and stuff that’s on the painting queue, and here it is:- 

+ Leader [580pts] +

Knight-Incantor [140pts]

Knight-Venator [120pts]

Lord-Aquilor [180pts]: General

Lord-Ordinator [140pts]: Astral Hammers

+ Artillery [220pts] +

Celestar Ballista [110pts]

Celestar Ballista [110pts]

+ Battleline [330pts] +

Vanguard-Hunters [110pts]: 5 Vanguard-Hunters [110pts], Astral Compass, Storm Sabre

Vanguard-Hunters [110pts]: 5 Vanguard-Hunters [110pts], Astral Compass, Shock Handaxe

Vanguard-Hunters [110pts]: 5 Vanguard-Hunters [110pts], Astral Compass, Storm Sabre

+ Other [830pts] +

Aetherwings [50pts]: 3 Aetherwings [50pts]

Evocators [220pts]: 5 Evocators [220pts], 5x Tempest Blade and Stormstave

Prosecutors [90pts]: 3 Prosecutors [90pts], Paired Celestial Hammers

Retributors [200pts]: 5 Retributors [200pts]

Sequitors [130pts]: 5 Sequitors [130pts], 2x Stormsmite Greatmace, Stormsmite Greatmace (Sequitor-Prime), Stormsmite Maul and Soulshield

Vanguard-Raptors with Hurricane Crossbows [140pts]: 3 Vanguard-Raptors with Hurricane Crossbows [140pts]

+ Malign Sorcery [40pts] +

Endless Spell: Celestian Vortex [40pts]

So far from this list I have completed the Knight Incantor, Knight-Venator, Lord Ordinator, Celestar Ballistas, one unit of Vanguard Hunters, the Prosecutors, Sequitors, Aetherwings and Vanguard Raptors, which is 1340 points.

So I started off the month by painting the Knight-Heraldor, Knight-Vexillor and Retributors which completes the original Age of Sigmar strater set, took me just under 5 years but we got there in the end.

I then got the Sequitors from Soul Ward painting and have left to do from that set just the Evocators and the Castigators.

Paint 1750 Points of T’au – 5.7%

Following similar logic to the Stormcast Eternals I plan to paint up a list for the T’au, but I need to figure out what I have first before I can do that.

In the meantime I got off the starting block with two Ethereals on Hover Drones.

Rebase the Blood Ravens – Completed

I started by rebasing the remaining Tactical Squad and the Captain, managing to cut my finger doing so, but I got those done.

Then later in the same week I rebased the last unit that needs doing, an Assault Squad.

And thus I complete the first of my resolutions, all my Blood Ravens which are playable are now on the modern day sized base.

I do have some other Blood Ravens stuff that needs stripping and repainting, but I plan to tackle those next year and fixing them up will probably be a resolution for 2021, and they will be rebased at that point.

Other Resolutions

  • Complete 1750 Points of Orks
  • Rebase the Orks
  • Paint Mortarion for Everchosen

Nowt has happened with these this month, but Mortarion is on my long term plan even though there probably won’t be an Everchosen this year and will hopefully be at least started next month.

So how what does my painting plan look like right now, well it looks a bit like this.

I will also be doing my 24 hours of painting challenge next month, and if you want to donate you can do so here.

  1. T’au Pathfinders x 10, Darkstrider & Devilfish
  2. Death Korps of Krieg Autocannon Teams x 3
  3. Death Guard Chaos Spawn x 2
  4. Stormcast Eternals Evocators x 5
  5. Space Wolves Blood Claws x 15 & Space Wolves Captain
  6. Millitarium Tempestus Tempestor Prime, Command Squad Members x 9 & Valkyries
  7. Stormcast Eternals Castigators x 5
  8. Sons of Horus Tactical Squad x 10
  9. T’au Breacher Squad x 10 & Devilfish
  10. Death Korps of Krieg Mortar Teams x 3

May Resolutions Update

By

On 31st May 2020

In Blog

How did I do in May for my resolutions, well let’s have a look shall we.

Paint 867 Models – 70.59%

Kinda smashing this one, I have painted 612 models so far this year and I have plans to do 80 Chainrasps in June which will take me a good chunk of the rest of the way.

Terrain and Nighthaunts have really helped me get ahead with this resolution.

This month I have painted up to

Finish Painting The Blood Ravens I Own on 1st January – 58.97%

This month I painted two units of Scouts, these I got from Conquest last summer. I actually bought two extra copies for these, my subscription copy is going to the Blood Angels I share with Megan.

I also painted five Intercessors to reinforce a squad of five I already have painted, plus Sgt Jovan, although he doesn’t actually count towards the resolution as I got in this year.

And finally I managed to paint my three Land Speeders, a Typhoon and two Tornados.

This brings me above the half way point and puts me well ahead of schedule.

Finish The Death Guard – 83.33%

Well I made a giant leap forward with the Death Guard this month by painting the Tallyman, which is the last of the Conquest collection to be done, and two sets of Blightlord Terminators.

All I have left to do now is a pair of Chaos Spawn and Mortarion himself, the Chaos Spawn are now built and primed and I am planning long term for when I will paint Mortarion.

Complete 2000 Points of Stormcast Eternals – 70%

This month I was able to add a Knight-Questor, Lord-Ordinator, two Celestar Balista, three Prosectors and a Knight-Venator to the list, taking me up to 1400 points painted.

Next month I am going to come up with an actual game list to use for this resolution, it’s all fine and dandy having 2000 points painted but if it’s not a useable list does it count?

So it’s likely that this percentage will come down as I figure that list out.

Rebase Blood Ravens 25%

I made a start on this by rebasing the first Tactical Squad, and leaves me with another Tactical Squad, an Assault Squad and a Captain to do still, but it’s a start.

I intend to get this completed in June.

Other Resolutions

  • Complete 1750 Points of T’au
  • Complete 1750 Points of Orks
  • Rebase the Orks
  • Paint Mortarion for Everchosen

Not much to report here, the plan is to rebase a few Orks next month, and as you will see some T’au units are starting to appear on my painting plan now.

So let’s have a look at the painting plan and what I have planned in the next few weeks.

As I said the first T’au units have appeared on the list as have the first Sons of Horus unit for the Edge of Empire Podcast army.

  1. Stormcast Eternals Retributors x 5, Knight-Heraldor and Knight-Vexillor
  2. Space Wolves Grey Hunters Pack Leaders x 4 and Iron Priest
  3. Blood Ravens Chaplains x 5
  4. Chainrasp Horde x 40
  5. Sons of Horus Contemptor Dreadnought
  6. T’au Ethereal on Hover Drone x 2
  7. Blood Ravens Intercessors x 10
  8. Death Guard Sabre Strike Tanks x 2
  9. Stormcast Eternals Sequitors x 8
  10. Blood Ravens Repulsor x 2

Long term I am aiming to complete the Blood Ravens within the next three months, most of what’s ahead of me for them is Infantry units, 16 units are left to do, of which 7 are characters.

The T’au are starting to feature in my long term planning now, but I do have phase 3 of Niki’s Death Korps of Krieg which I am going to start slotting in from next week.

April Resolutions Update

It’s the end of the month so let’s see how I did on my resolutions.

Paint 867 Models – 57.90%

I have painted 502 models so far this year, obviously this means I am well ahead of schedule which I am happy with.

A good chunk of this game in the month in the form of terrain. Being ill with Covid-19 has really hampered my hobby efforts this month.

Finish Painting The Blood Ravens I Own on 1st January – 43.58%

Only thing done this month was three Bikes and an Attack Bike, must do better next month.

This next month I hope to paint two units of Scouts, three Landspeeders and a unit of Intercessors.

Finish The Death Guard – 58.33%

No progress but I am ahead of schedule so I am cool with that. Next up at the Blightlord Terminators and a Tallyman.

Complete 2000 Points of Stormcast Eternals – 36.50%

I did a lot for this target this month, so far I have painted 730 points, although I may have to adjust this resolution so it’s a viable list I paint.

This month I painted, six Gryph-Hounds, 5 Vanguard-Hunters, 3 Vanguard Raptors, 6 Aetherwings, a Knight Questor and a Knight Incantor.

Other Resolutions

  • Complete 1750 Points of T’au
  • Complete 1750 Points of Orks
  • Rebase Blood Ravens
  • Rebase Orks

None of these have had any progress made, but the T’au are now appearing in my long term painting plan.

Just need to get the Orks in there too.

Rebasing can go ahead I just need to bring the Blood a Ravens downstairs to start it.

So let’s take a quick look at my painting plan right now.

  1. Death Korps of Krieg Grenadiers Special Weapons Men and Vox Operators x 10
  2. Blood Warriors x 5 & Korgus Khul
  3. Canoness Veridyan
  4. Untamed Beasts x 9
  5. Tech Priest Manipulus x 2
  6. Stormcast Eternals Celestar Balista x 2 & Lord Ordinator
  7. Blightlord Terminators x 5 & Tallyman
  8. Chaotic Beasts x 12
  9. Dreadblade Harrows x 2
  10. Blood Ravens Scouts x 10

March Resolutions Update

It’s that time of the month again so here is a hobby resolutions update!

Paint 867 Models – 42.45%

Really making progress with this one, but a bunch of supply crates and promethium barrels really helped me!

I am now at 368 models painted, well a few more because I have been hard at work on my Warcry/Age of Sigmar terrain, but I donMt record them until the whole set is complete.

Finish Painting The Blood Ravens I Own on 1st January – 38.46%

Making good progress with five captains painted your this month, but I still have all the units with multiple models to go yet!

Finish The Death Guard – 58.33%

Ok I actually went backwards on this cause I got two more Chaos Spawn, but they shouldn’t delay this too much!

Complete 2000 Points of Stormcast Eternals

I made a start on this, albeit very slowly by painting the Easy to Build Sequitors I got with Mortal Realms Issue 1, but I am not counting these until I have actually built the ones from Soul Wars to make it a full unit.

Other Resolutions

  • Complete 1750 Points of T’au
  • Complete 1750 Points of Orks
  • Rebase Blood Ravens
  • Rebase Orks

No progress on any of these, but I did manage to figure out what we have in terms of Orks and Megan and I plan to start on these very soon.
