Right, have been thinking about this for a while. And with Tims initiative in the WFB forum thought I'd better get started.
Each month I will now be making a public pledge of what painting I will complete by its end.
Anyone else wants to join in feel free
April:
Not long left this month so as I warm up, I pledge to finish my Tiger Soldier with Boarding shotgun. (currently WIP)
As I'll be away for the first week of May i'll do this pledge now as well
May:
Tiger soldier with Combi
Tiger Soldier with HMG
Aragoto with Boarding Shotgun (Currently WIP)
Aragoto with Spitfire (Currently WIP)
Ninja Hacker
This month I vow to finish these minis:
Rhino (almost done)
Drop Pod (almost done)
3 Space Marine Bikers (prepped, greenstuffed, and undercoated)
3 Scouts with bolt pistols and cc's (almost done)
5 Devastators (done base layer of paint)
5 Assault marines (done base layer of paint)
I might try to make a start on my Ariadna if I can too, I've stripped them down and cleaned the minis, now I just need to pin them (hard enough!) and prime them. Think I will go with a white undercoat for these and try out Angel's method of painting for them. They have so much detail in them I want that to come out so I will build up a load of glazes on top of the base layers of colour. Just got to find myself a really cool camo pattern that I can put on them.
Ill Join in on the fun!
Im gonna pledge to paint my Never born, Teddy is not hear yet so unless he turns up real soon I cant count him
The sorrows are done so it leaves the finishing touches to Kade, candy complete, Pandy complete and of course the lady with carpet burn!
In addition I aim to build around 5 more buildings for my Infinity table depending on card I may do more
ok less chat more painting
ooh ill do my Runt bot too
I vow to sit at my table with paintbrush in hand, at least once next month, and not stop for at least 15 minutes!

Careful fella don't strain yourself! ease your self in, try 5 mins first then move up to 10
Right, I am in.
April
finish building kayazy assassins and underboss
Hopefully I will fulfil my challenge this evening!
Good idea. I'm in, too. I'm currently working flat out on my much neglected Guardsmen, so the plan until the end of April is to:
i) get everyone standing up! (bloody pinning bloody metal bloody fancy bases)
ii) finish assembling everyone/everything (including green stuffing a few things)
iii) finish everyone's bases
That's probably enough for the next week or so.
I vow to:
Re- Do my Necromunda Gang
consider finishing off the adeptus marines
I thoroughly hate painting, so tend to do nothing for a few months, then sit down and get as much done as I possibly can in about three weeks of uninterrupted slog. Last time was my (then) entire Circle Orboros force in two weeks a month or so ago.
So anyway, I'm not committing to anything. But nice idea. I hope it works out for you guys.
Ok, 3 days left, one of it is club night, hmmm.... I think I can finish Sybelle this month. I ought do at least one crew per month for Malifaux, so will think what's next for may.
I'm making progress.
I should finish my rhino and scouts tonight.
Hopefully my drop pod too.
Tomorrow I will try get some more work done on the devs, then it's the assault marines.
I think I will drop the bikers from this months list and put them in next months as it's unlikely I'll get it done as I also have to get a genestealer from space hulk painted for an online comp.
Next month will be assault marines, sternguard and 3 bikers.
Right, it is the end of the month so it is time to get some pictures up of what you have achieved. I am going to post tonight my acheivements, which is building 11 models! I hope you guys all have something more inspiring. Next month should be better from me

I'll see if my camera is working
haha I'm not quite there.
Still time!!!
*gets the paint brushes out*
Hmm I Have beaten my goals by miles but cant connect my phone to pc at the mo as I have lost the cable
Right I'm not going to complete this as I got distracted by other minis.
I've finished the Rhino (pretty much anyway - might go back and make it a bit better)
Pretty much done the drop pod now, just needs cleaning up
Scouts are pretty much done.
Devastators haven't really progressed from last gaming session.
However, I have done my genestealer from space hulk, and I've been pinning up and greenstuffing all my space marine bikers and sternguard. Also pinned my Ariadna and begun priming them (gone with a white coat this time - first time in YEARS!)
So not too bad really!
I'll post pics 2moro as not going to have time today to do the uploading nor the photos themselves.
I got stuck with Sybelle last night! I was planning to make her an experimental model. She's got black latex suit on and I had an idea to achieve the look i'm after. Dark grey mid-tones with black shading and no higlight. Instead a really glossy finish to make it pop. Now i've done the mid tones and the shading but it looks too good and I'm hesitating. Maybe I should just paint some really crisp highlight on it... decisions, decisions...
post pics so I can see
just got home from work... hate doing overtime on a Friday. ¬.¬
Will post pics soon, I want to finish her spanking rod first... xD
