What did you paint in 2010?
« on: December 29, 2010, 11:51:21 PM »
Whilst visiting another forum, the question arose...'what have you painted in 2010?' and I had a look through my blog to see what I had managed to complete...and I was extremely surprised at the result.

Here is a list (from 01 Jan 2010 to now):

Tyranids:
1x Carnifex
3x Warriors
20x Gaunts
30x Rippers

Grymn:
1x Small Hovercraft
8x Urban Jump-Pack Troops
7x Halo Grymn (plus 1x Artillery Piece)
1x Erik Grymn (My own sculpt)
3x Test Scheme Grymn (For urban schemes)

MY ENTIRE TUNNEL FIGHTER ARMY (Which includes):
1x Command Squad (9 Grymn + Comms Drone)
3x Close Combat Squad (each with 9 Grymn and 1 Comms Drone)
5x Infantry Unit (each with 9 Grymn and 1 Comms Drone)
1x K9 Squad (3 Grymn + 6 K9s)
1x Drone Squad (1 Grymn +12 Drones)
2x Clanker Unit (each with 3 Clankers)
1x Votoms Mech (with a further 5 base-coated)

(That is a grand total of 117 miniatures plus the Votoms mechs)

Other Stuff
1x Stormtrooper (my sculpt that can be purchased from Hasslefree Miniatures)
1x Mystic Panda
2x Meesan Bosses
1x Ogarix (my sculpt)
5x DALEK (free from Dr Who magazine)
1x To'Ok
1x Space Dog With Big Gun
2x Deep Ones
1x Old Bob (robot from the film 'The Black Hole')
4x Dvarg
1x Dark Eldar

EDIT: 1x OGrymn for my tunnel fighters...Just finished in time to claim it for this year :).

...all that painting even though I have been working messed up shifts all year and spent 6 weeks in Kenya with no hobby stuff...

...I think I must have neglected my family a whole lot this year  :oops: ...

...so, what did everyone else manage?

That's quite impressive Inso.

Not too sure how much of this is correct but here's what I've done

Undead:
40 Zombies
24 Wights
14 Ghouls
1 Necromancer
13 Black Knights
7 Vampire Knights
1 Zombie Dragon and Vampire Lord
3 Wraiths
1 banshee

Space Marines:
2 Dreadnoughts
1 Captain
A mixture of different marines (Not sure of the total)

Other:
Heresy Angel
Feral Queen
12 Temple guard (well not finished yet but by the end of today they will be.) including command.
minor Fallen one
Confrontation Sasia Samaris
Old chaotic grenadier model

Other junk that I don't remember

A pretty good year for me, probably more mini's I've painted this year than the rest of my life.

EDIT: Brandlin: :whip:

EXTRA EDIT: Forgot about my trenchies, only 3 so far.

EXTRA EXTRA EDIT: 1 Genestealer broodlord.

I think managed 2 and half minis this year... might be just one and a half, cna't remember when I finished one other But definitely the reaper mini Thomas Hammerfist and I've a heresy Narbot the cyclops in progress. But next year, well I'll be disappointed if I don't get that up to more like a dozen. I think 1 or 2 a month is reasonable to fit in around everything else I get up to. But you never can tell...

The good news is the various folks and discussions here are doing a good job of keeping my interest up.

Not even nearly enough for myself, tho doing jobs has kept me busy...

24 display pj's for Twilight
Heresy's Nerdlord & Emily Lake
Tom Meier's 1/48 French Officer
14 Fenris Games' bases for the Frothers Cthluedo participation game
16 Hasslefree zombie hunters / survivors for the Hasselfree participation game
4 Copplestone future wars assault troopers for the Frothers Battlefield participation game
Colonel Marbles Zombie
Colonel Marbles Referee

And that's it... I started a few other bits and pieces but not around to finishing any of them (or even come close)

So not including the bases that's 49 models finished for the year. Not quite the one a week I was aiming for.
I'll have to pull my finger out next year, especially with the non commissioned/participation game stuff as that leaves me with a grand total of... two Colonel Marbles figures. Yay... :(

hmmm

living room, back of the house, shed, back fence. . .  :whistle:

in honesty not that much :erm: - about a dozen converted spaceship crew, a couple of bots, a dozen genestealers (badly - colour scheme didn't work), an orc Truck and mob of boyz, a DeffDread and 1 Grimn (so far)

next year WILL be a more productive year.

My Heresy Angel.

A lizardman bloodbowl team that I no longer have.

Er, that's it.

I didn't finish a Freebooter miniatures dancer for the Chick Challenge
I started painting a hasslefree concubine - I even tried using some pastels on that.  Also unfinished for the CC
I've primed up a hasslefree Oberon and did a little work on the base.
I started painting a GW mk1 (exo armour) terminator that I primed in about 1994, trying the nmm gold thing.  But I don't think it's working.

Not much.

A shed load of Orcs and Goblins for my LotR forces, some Trenchcoats for Andy, a couple of small commissions, a few single figs for therapeutic release then hit a brick wall enthusiasm-wise around March/April time.  :(

Plenty of projects started, still staring at me with their accusing eyes (metaphorically) from my painting desk, that I will one day complete. It's just finding the time and enthusiasm to finish them that's the problem. Maybe 2011 will be different?

It's quality, not quantity that counts! ...but in my case I don't rate in terms of either. I didn't finish a single mini in 2010 ...mostly thanks to this:

http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/1801902

...and this:

http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/1858889

I did buy quite a lot of shiny new minis though and I'm really hoping that 2011 will be a better balance for me in terms of getting back into painting, photography and other real-life stuff, like getting fit for a 60 day trek and possibly going to Antarctica in November.
Heron Island photos done! See blog...

Not a gosh-darned thing! In fact I haven't picked up a brush since I finished my 2009 DoD :(
Up until yesterday when I put an undercoat and blocked in the colour on a Dr Ecclescake. Here's to painting in 2011!

There are some hard-working painters on here!  I was amazed at what I'd achieved but I can see I am not alone.

And one well painted miniature is as good as a truckload if it is all you've had time/enthusiasm for.  I spent months staring at my Ogarix before I finally painted him...and when he was done he was worth a hundred others, just because I had finally got the muse to paint him :).

Hmm...

2 Imperial guard sentinels
4 GZG spaceships
1 Firestorm armada spaceship
Valkyrie
NMM Sisters of battle standard bearer
1 imperial guardsmen
1 Sly Marbo conversion
1 Land Speeder storm/arbites speeder with working lights
3 Warmachine figures (used them as inquisitors)
10 older style storm troopers
45 Victirx highlanders with gasmasks
Half a Hürn
1 Converted Chimera
15 Death Company, 5 Sanguinary Guard and gabrial seth
Canoness and a couple of SOB's
9 Grymn
Artemis
Tomoko
10 Victrix old guard also with gasmasks
Angel chick from grey matter

My favorite thing has to be the 'Veteran of a thousand psychic wars' by Grey Matter. Its not the kind of thing I'd usually paint, and it came out really well and the guys were really chuffed with it. Its the one thats on there website too which is nice :D
Not nearly as much as I would have liked, and the lead pile has been rising a little too much this year for my liking. I did have a massive slump when I got that commission work but it taught me a valuable life lesson - don't take commission work.

Projects for 2011:

Another 35 Victrix old guard
30+ Wargames factory great coats (resin backpacks)
Pig Iron system troopers (done Halo style)
A baccus 6mm Samurai army
Sculpt something that isn't covered in fur. Preferably a human.
Finish the shadowsword, and start the actual guard army I meant to do this time last year
At least make a proper start on my Tau army, which has been languishing in bits for far too long
Seriously look at some of the special things I've got lying around like Axenarf and the Mike McVey models
Finish those true scale space marines I started

Things which shouldn't be projects, but probably are going to be anyways:
Custodian guard army
Baccus 6mm Roman Cohort/Legion
Pre-heresy Nightlords
A joint dark eldar army with mrs Addams

Then of course Kevs going to sculpt things, not to mention the things he's already sculpted (Wolf with chicks, Kindred, Grymn).

Short Answer: Not Enough.

Long Answer: In 2010 I finished painted the following figures and I'm quite ashamed there is only one FOD mini in this lot :oops:

54mm
* Klingon (MMII)

28mm
* Tony (b) (HF)
* 14x 1938 Policemen for VBCW (Artizan)
* Rick (Artizan)
* 9x Nazi Zombies (West Wind)
* Brutal Gladiator (Dark Art Miniatures)
* 5x Colonial British (Wargames Factory)
* 19x WWII Russians (Plastic Soldier Company)
* Sablesinge (Miniature Heroes)

15mm
12x Cowboys (Peter Pig)

6mm
* 1x World's Smallest Wargame (Baccus6mm)

Other
* Various bits of plaster scenic items for RPG from Hirst Arts molds.

Of course, I half-started about twice this number which aren't finished yet, which is my usual trick! :roll:

A grand total of 1... well 1 finished anyway

Hasslefree - Bar Wench - Painted for my girlfriend (is she still a girlfriend after 8 years?) for her birthday because she is one :angel: - Though since the are no photos up I guess it never happened!

Should get a few more done this year already under way with some space elves from the big bad and a few goodies from both HF and Heresy might even post some pictures if I finish them :roll:

Hmm, what did I paint?  Hmm... have to think about that one.  it's a round number, looks something like this: 0

Well, I did work on some minis, which does actually include making a start on a squad of Grymn, and I've been working on a mini for Lizcam which is now doubling up as a competition entry for the Wamped competition.  You never know, I might just have a finished mini to show this year.
