Today we have a rather strongly themed monthly round-up for June’s models. Yep! Every one of June’s completed models are from a single faction in a single game. Not that I didn’t also work on a bunch of other random things, but the completed stuff did manage to be tightly focused.

Not that I didn’t also work on a bunch of other random models over the course of the month as the most common way I paint models isn’t actually painting a few from start to finish, but chipping away at often up to a couple dozen of models at once, and then focusing on a few at a time to complete.

The really nice thing about June’s progress is that when I combine these models with the few Imperials I’ve completed previously like Vader, Krennic, Veers, Officers – even without Palpatine and his Guards – I’ve now got a playable force for Legion, even if it’s far from optimised in any way.

I’ve got another trooper squad and a few extra add-ons to paint before I rotate over to painting Rebels en masse, but yeah – those will be the next mass of trooper-types after a few more Imperials. Unless I get distracted again.

The next post will bring us into July’s models, so we’ll start to see the Season of Scenery stuff I’ve been working on begin to be shown.

And for today’s post we have May’s monthly Round-Up. I’m over a month behind with these things now, but June’s models should offer me an opportunity to do some more efficient post-catch-up.

For the first time in a long time, May also allowed me to take the Round-Up photos in the light box rather than spread across the table. That’s right! A month with no terrain pieces!

Spoiler alert – June’s stuff will be the same. Not that I didn’t work on terrain over the last month – just that none got completed in time as my focus, as in May, was largely on regular models.

Numbers-wise, I completed 28 models, which is lower than the 31 that I would want to finish in May, but I do feel like there’s very little filler here. Each one is a model, and even the models with similar sculpts like the MotU Bots have a bit of work in them. The least of these models is the very simple Mudman, but it’s also part of a MotU set, so it’s fine.

I guess Tyrion is only considered half a man as well, but we’ll let that one slide for today. Anyway, adding 28 models to the 169 I’d completed up to the end of April and the year’s running total as of a month ago is 197. Not terribly shabby.

Next up will be June’s models. A chance for some real catch-up here with more models grouped into fewer posts. See you there!
