One post for my personal round-up this month instead of two – mostly because almost all of my painted figures in April were Neglected Models – which really does say something about the state of my collection and how much half-painted crap I still have here! Above we have the neglected models for the month. It does really feel quite good to have gotten those bloody undead off the desk, finally. And the same goes for those carnivorous plants. The Ork stuff represented something much more important and personal, even though I haven’t managed to post up the “completed” initial force yet (I took some photos, but they were garbage, so gotta try again!)
The WarZone stuff was pretty much just plucking stuff out of a figure case that looked like easy wins. I’ll probably do the same with WarZone or something similar next time it’s Neglected Model Month. Which will be in…. um… August. I think. I’ll have to check.
Here’s the radically different month’s total photo. You can really see why I’m doing both in one post, can’t you? It adds in one large angry Nurgle Malifaux dude, 2 Conan figures, and four bombs. 38 models for May, all told. Those Snotlings really did their job in bumping my numbers for the month!
38, plus the 194 I had done at the end of April gives me 232 to date this year. Of course, it’s now the 8th (almost the 9th) and I’ve only completed those three barrels so far… need to get a move on to get my minimum of 30 for June done!
Edit – how bloody embarrassing – I had last month’s April stuff in the header for this post. That’s what happens when you’re writing updates late at night!
That’s an impressive number and solid quality too! You’ve achieved a good balance there.

You gots the stamina, man! I still really love that carnivorous plant. Not a model you see everyday, and your paints really bring it to life. Good job on that massive lot!

A very nice bunch of models/gruesome group. I also have to say I like the Little Shop of Horrors plant too. 🙂

Great seeing them together! I’m with the people liking the plant, it’s great! I’m still pretty sure it’s a real one you’ve hidden in amongst all those cool minis though!

Another very successful month, it seems. What I always love the most about these roundups is how all the very different models make for such an interesting and colourful tableau. Fantastic work! 🙂

Thanks, KS. As much as I try to focus, I need to keep painting different things to keep the interest up.

I’ve decided to do my painting vicariously through you. As long as someone is churning out models each month I can gloss over my recent slackness. 😀

Well done, you must be getting to the point such that you will be out of neglected stuff to work on! These all looked great!

I wish that were the case. Probably another 2-3 years of heavily working on them at this rate, I think. Doesn’t help that a whole lot of stuff I’ve started in the last year or two now count as neglected as well…

Well, Marouda can obviously paint well, so you’ll be done in half that time!!
