Hi all Well its that time again (sorry forgot to post last night) Last months update TMP link Ok this months figures Bought 6mm – 42 (though 36 were given free – Napoleonics and WWII aircraft) other – 13 (WWI aircraft from TMP) Painted 6mm – 38 (the napoleonics and some aircraft) other – 13 (1/1200th Napoleonic ships) 10mm – 22 (for the clubs game) I also built the Uboat for the clubs game though this needs finishing. Yearly bought – 1139 Yearly painted – 1454 Ready locker – 200 (I had a recount and removed 4 figures that were useless due to damage). Due to being off work with a stress related illness, I have not had the motivation to do much painting or modelling though it did mean I missed the Partizan show so dodged that bullet. I will be attending Derby on Saturday so that will be expensive, cash and lead wise.
Hope you all had a better month MH :-) |

September was an awesome month for me. Despite a bit more buying, I still gained a little overall. Bought in September: 92 figs 40x 28mm Various Space Orks, from the Black Reach set, plus Burnas, Lootas, and Tank Bustas (or whatever they call them) 18x 28mm Space Marine types from Black Reach 28x 6mm Timecast Buildings, Wall and fence sections 6x 6mm CnC Sandbag emplacements Painted in September: 179 figs 4x 28mm GW Imperial Guard figs 15x 15mm US Deltas 4x 15mm Armored Humvees (my own creations) 12x 28mm Space Orks 1x 15mm French VBL Recce Car (another of my own critters) 1x 28mm Old GW RT era Pot Bellied Adventurer 1x 28mm Alfpha Forge Zombie Hunter 1x 15mm Peter Pig Mercedes Benz 5x 28mm Terminators 9x 28mm Space Marines 1x 28mm GW Dreadnaught 3x 28mm GW Defcopters 2x 28mm GW Squigbombs 26x 15mm Peter Pig African Militia 67x 15mm Peter Pig 15mm Regulars 1x 15mm QRF Vickers Mk3 2x 15mm QRF Ferret ACs 2x 15mm QRF Saladin ACs 3x 15mm QRF Saracens 1x 15mm QRF 1t Landrover 1x 15mm QRF WW2 French Command Car 9x 6mm Timecast Stone Walls 8x 6mm Timecast Fences On the month 179 painted, 92 purchased, + 87 On the year 340 painted, 334 purchased, +6 I have one more big order from Peter Pig for modern Africa in October, but with all of the additional figs that I got paint on in September, should gain a little more ground. Don't see myself reaching my goal of +500 for the year, but I should at least be on the up plus of things. |

This month, I got back in line with my pledge ("paint more than I buy"). Eberything is 28m-ish, unless noted. Painted: 6 Artizan Kiss Kiss Bang Bang 6 Citadel Chaos Warriors 4 Warrior Merry Men 2 Artizan Thrilling Tales 2 Hasslefree Adventurers 1 Copplestone Girl Werewolf-hunter 1 Citadel signpost with enormous raven Bought: 4 Blue Moon "Adventures in Sherwood Forest" villains 3 Doctor Who Micro-Universe September totals: Painted: 22 Bought: 7 Net balance: +15 Year (from 1 April) to date: Painted: 121 Bought: 115 Net balance: +6 Mind you, I've already got on order four more Hasslefree adventurers and an old 1/43 Corgi Lotus Elan for Artizan's not-Mrs Peel, so I'm eroding that positive balance already! |
Big Martin | 01 Oct 2008 5:06 a.m. PST |
No such luck – bought about 50 figures and a 28mm pirate ship at Colours and not touched them since. I reckon that sorting my late father's estate out and clearing his house does count as a pretty good excuse, however. Get the feeling I'm not going to be painting much this side of 2009! |
mweaver | 01 Oct 2008 6:12 a.m. PST |
I don't really wanna talk about it. But suppose I should. I only bought one thing. Sadly, it was the new 40K box, which has about 47 figures in it. I only painted nine things this month. So, further in the hole for me. |
timlillig | 01 Oct 2008 6:33 a.m. PST |
This month was pretty good considering I did not have much free time. I got a decent amount of stuff painted, mostly terrain: +13 segments of barbed wire +4 crypts +1 hut +3 Reaper monsters- beholder, fire giant, and ape with wings. +5 Superfigs henchmen I made a small order from Heresy: -13 for two sci-Fi crews, the two doctors and a halfling sorcerer. In October I'm hoping to have a bit more time to paint. I'll likely complete some ogres I've started and yesterday I started a 64 piece set of dungeon walls. I'm hoping to use those soon. I'll be attending a local auction, so I'll probably buy a few things too. Totals for this month- painted +26 bought -13 September total +26-13=+13 2008 total +547-189=+358 |

I've been singing pretty much the same tune all year. I've purchased what seems like a billion figures and haven't actually painted a thing. This month I picked up two Assault on Black Reach sets, a Space Marines Predator, and some Ork Tankbustas. I got through assembling and priming a portion of one Black Reach set, but haven't actually got any paint on the figures. I'm still shuffling the Orc unit I started painting several months ago around on my desk and thinking about finishing it up. On the plus side I got an airbrush for my birthday/Christmas present, so maybe that will motivate me to fling some paint around to finish off the year. |

Not a good month for me. Stocked up on some stuff to paint and sell off of ebay, didn't get too much done due to the demands of our business. Anyway all are 15mm; Bought 141 Napoleonics and 150 ACW figures Painted 24 ACW Zouaves 16 Napoleonic Austrian Line to sell 6 ECW Cavalry Royalist 20 Imperial Roman Archers to sell not what I wanted this month. |
Serotonin | 01 Oct 2008 7:17 a.m. PST |
A better thna usual month for me- Bought a rather large Iraqi 6mm battlegroup- around 40-50 AFVs and 100 infantry, all painted and based. Bought 15 28mm scale front Rank British riflemen- undercoated but not based or painted. Good month, but still only about 50% painted as opposed to bought over the last 9 months. |
nycjadie | 01 Oct 2008 8:07 a.m. PST |
I've totally lost track. I should still be good this year. My goal is to paint 365 for the year. Miniature-wise, I think I only painted 14 or so this month. However, I went terrain crazy and painted 25 pieces of terrain. This weekend, it's Koreans

Spent September working on other projects, mostly, and we cleaned off the paint table in a futile attempt to get a new RPG going, only to end up doing nothing. Went to Recruits and bought: -- two Mage Knight metal fantasy figures -- three packs of Knuckleduster mounted cowboys -- one Copplestone 'Alan Quatermain' -- about 15 bottles of Reaper MS paint I would have bought more, but there were several vendors who did not bring stuff I was hoping to get. Spent an evening building up new bases for the 3 Knuckleduster horses, plus a 4th I already had. Need to prime those
Spray coated 5 pieces of dungeon terrain made months ago, and gloss coated one cricket. Painted: -- one Reaper halfling figure For the year: 81 bought, 45 painted (within goal). |

September numbers: (Bought, sold, and primed numbers stand alone, while the progress and finished lists are mutually exclusive) Bought (44) -2 Battletech (Hatchetman, Shadowhawk) -3 GW Empire (Teutogen Guard Command) -1 GW Dark Elf (Assassin) -1 GW Goblin Squig Hopper -1 GW Night Goblin Shaman -1 GW Grey Knight Terminator (oooold) -1 GW Space Marine Dreadnought (Black Reach) -2 Mag Egos Levitating Disks -2 Countess Games (Diplomat, Preistess of Selene) -1 Warmachine Cygnar (Arlan Strangeways) -1 Warmachine Khador (Yuri the Axe) -1 Hordes Trollblood (Slag Troll) -3 Hordes Skorne (Venator Catapult and crew) -11 GW Dogs of War (11 Leopolds Leopard Company) -13 GW Chaos Dwarf Hobgoblins (7 Wolfriders, 6 Bolthrowers with crew (2 sets)) SOLD (12) Primered (44) Painting Progress (42) (the 15mm Saxons once again got attention, but none of them reached completion this month. Harumph Harumph!) Finished (7) -1 GW Goblin Squig Hopper -2 Battletech (Demolisher II, Firestarter) -2 Hordes Trollbloods (Grissel, Fell Caller) -1 Reaper Half-Ogre Barbarian -1 Rackham Wolfen This brings the YTD numbers to Net Growth: +479 Painted: 270 479 growth/274 days = 1.748 minis per day. 270 painted/479 bought = 56.4% of growth painted. This remains behind the purchase goal (<1.5 per day) and is still barely ahead of the painting goal (>50% painted). The purchase ratio is improved from last month, however. Existing project progress was again limited. Warmachine and Battletech saw a couple miniatures completed, while the FoW project moved forward "in progress". Nothing else moved. The 15mm WAB project MUST continue to dominate the "working on" numbers next month (as they did this month, being 24 of the "Progress" minis), or they'll be hauting me into next year
The convention at the beginning of September accounted for almost two thirds of September's purchase total. Not counted are a few goblinoids that were either passed along to others immediately or are already on the pile for the next flea market. |
raylev3 | 02 Oct 2008 12:08 a.m. PST |
Bought: 324 15mm Sudan/Egyption/Naval Bde Painted: 24 x 28mm Austrian Napoleonics Sent to Fernando for painting: 260 x 15mm Prussian Napoleonics. Sooo
even sending stuff off to Sri Lanka, I'm in the hole for September. Let's not even talk about my backlog. Oh, and with the OG15mm 40 percent off sale I have a feeling I'm going to have another negative month. |
Tommy Atkins | 02 Oct 2008 4:36 a.m. PST |
This was quite fun checking out what I'd bought and painted since November 2007. Purchased: 449 figures all 28mm Painted to date: 338. |
Timmo uk | 02 Oct 2008 4:42 a.m. PST |
Bought: 21 x 18mm AB French Naps Painted: 54 x AB Naps Not much left to paint but lots to varnish and base. Aiming not to buy anymore this year and to wait and see what Christmas may bring. |
