Here is my effort for last month 20 Saurus Warriors - bit late I know.

And for this month I am working on my Lord choice for the army Saurus on a Canosaur.

Great work all! I got distracted by starting a second army: Kingdom of Equitaine. I did modelled my new general on chariot but still needs to paint him so will be delayed a bit.

Soon more about the second army, it is going to be a Crusading army in the Lustrian jungles in search of the Blood Grail with lots of Druchii influences ;)

My one-man guy for april. Just a simple char.

But what is on for May? Sounds like people need some catching up, so free choice? Just get anything done? :)

Free choice sounds good to me Sabious anything to keep people painting.

Perhaps we can all pledge what we plan to paint this month at the start of the month.

For me I have 5 Cold One Riders and 10 Temple guard left to go on this army I have been working on - that's my mission for the month and then I can get back to some Dark Elves.

Urgh I wish I could say the same; though it does fill me with guilt to not even have finished March's project. I got soooo close to being done and then life got in the way and I lost motivation... had minis on the mind again recently so hopefully I'll pick up the paintbrush again soon!

I am practically finished with my May pledge, but needs tiny patch ups before pics can be taken. Sadly I am ill and have been for weeks. Maybe next week I will be able to post.

Hope you lot fare better!

I've been throwing paint all over the place: bits, bases, plastic cards to experiment on, the floor by accident, the kids (not so much an accident)....
So far, no model painted... but I am close to ready to paint some 40K. I'm still tempted to finish my DR as an in-between.

Good idea Sabious, lets bring to live again! I did finished my Chariot general, but in June haha. This month I hope to paint two chariots and make a start of my big Executioner horde (40 models). Also hope to paint some test models for my second army (Bretonnia).

I will pledge to finish up some more almost-finished models. I have too many of those!

Maybe from scratch a Great Green Idol to follow up on Mr. Lemon. We will see ;)

Yes - that sounds great, being mid year and all it would be good to see it coming together!

I only have two more units to go with this army and a couple of terrain pieces and then back to dark elves and a new army.

Lord Drakon himself! I finally added the Sea Guard guarding a tower to the base to complete the model as I plan playing with it again. I do have to finish the other side still :P which will follow.

Finally painting again! Working on my Cold One Knights, hoping to have them done by end of July, perhaps along with the Sorceress model. We'll see if I get distracted by the pending arrival of Witch Elves...
