Here's the link to last months.

I pretty much missed September as I was away but October saw some catching up. I finished up some GNW cavalry that have been on the bench most of the summer and some RAFM Plains Wars figures that were started decades ago. To keep things even I bought some GNW figures from Tradition of London. More because they're nice looking figures than match all that well with my existing figures.

Bought = 21 (Holger Erikkson 30mm GNW)
Painted = 29 (9-Warfare 28mm GNW, 15-RAFM 25mm Plains Wars, 5-HE 30mm GNW.

Monthly profit = +8
Yearly profit = +89

A better month

Bought
- 1 Airfix Italian House
- 1 MDF chicken coop from Warbases

Painted
- Hornby Fountain 1
- Frostgrave GA Crew 13
- 28mm Sailing boat 1
- 28mm rowing boats 2

Monthly profit +15 (and I prepared /part-painted a whole lot more)
Annual profit +6

(but some Frostgrave Wizards on their way, and Warfare coming in 2 weeks …)

Not to bad of a month considering the commissions I have been doing. The one purchase was a good deal and I needed to use some ebay bucks. Also cleared a little spot on my painting table by painting landing craft.

Bought= 138
Painted= 177 28mm Napoleonic + 9 1/300 landing craft
profit= +48
Year to date= 552

I painted nine humans, three four footed beasties (one a saber toothed tiger), and several bits of set decoration. Add to that, I sold off 18 more figures. However, I confess to breaking down and buying eight new figures.
I'd hoped to finish about 20 figures, but due to a couple real life gets in the way events, it didn't happen. Still, a bunch of figures are half painted, so will make for a great month later on.
Looking forward to doing some pulp era figures in November. Also looking forward to receiving some new figures, in part because an August order was delayed--but I'm assured it's on its way now! Need to find more figures to sell to balance out the incoming figures.

FusilierDan--glad to hear you're back!

Had a good month, though haven't painted anything in over two weeks.

In October:
Painted 279x miniatures, all 6mm Cold War era, with the exception of 10x African buildings.

Received: 200x, 199x 6mm Cold War vehicles and infantry stands, and 1x 15mm Mi4 helicopter

+79 for the month.

On the Year:

1619 painted
1303 received
+316 on the year

A great year for me, anything more will just be extra icing.

Very good month, finally finishing some things. Including clearing 25/28mm lead pile save for a handful of figures.

Finished 139.

Bought 20.

Year
Finished 193

Bought 300+ (these include dozens and dozens of 1/4800 ships that were always going to be a back burner project).

Not a good month, but at least I did something.
Bought 0
Painted
5 Spanish medium cav
2 Stug III

YTD +161
October +7
New YTD +168

Some upheaval at home kept my number down in October compared to the previous months.

I finished off
11 US WWII airborne that slipped through the paint queue for the convention in September

15 Reaper Bones Goblins I was. Doing partially as a pallet cleanser and partially to get ready for an upcoming D&D campaign

4 fantasy civilians for the same D&D game.

Adding these to the running total of 272 28mm figures bring me up to 302 figures for the year! I had a goal of 300 figures for the year and I was worried that two commissions were slowing me down a bunch, but its looking like I might get to 350 by the end of the year if everything holds steady.

I pretty much killed my year a few weeks ago buying a bunch of 10mm WW1 stuff, and a whole Plains War project. Then my 2 YO Landsknecht KS arrived…..sigh….There is always next year…..

My painting time was rather limited considering I was laid off in the middle of the month. Spent most of my time doing projects around the house. Managed to finish the 6 figures I bought last month so the lead mountain didn't grow.

Purchased: 611
Painted: 76

What's the points cost on the various things, like guns, limbers, infantry cavalry, monsters…tanks?

Thanks for info!

Friends and I are thinkign of doing our first painting challenge.

Stalkey and Co,

Just saw this while replying to your other post. Most people here don't seem to use points but just count figures as one regardless of scale or type. One Infantry=one cavalry=one cannon=one tank ect…
