May Update!

Well, it has been a while since I have posted, mainly because significant progress has not been made in the painting department.  Diablo 3 was released last month, and as one can imagine, much of my time has been spent in Sanctuary destroying demons.  That being said, my goal for May has failed completely and utterly.  Not a single point was painted.  Kroxx has also failed his goal, however, he did manage to get 10 points finished. 

New Goals:  For June, I am going to cut back my goal to 10 points.  Hopefully my entry into a Painting Deathmatch on miniwargaming will provide some motivation.  Kroxx has decided to cut back as well, despite his progress, and has set a goal for 15 points.  Wish us luck!

Now, other than Diablo 3, I received my order of Dark Eldar from the miniwargaming store and have begun assembling them.  Here is the progress:

Assembled:
2 Ravagers
2 Raiders
1 Venom
6 Jetbikes
2 Haemonculi
5 Scourge
10 Warriors

To Be Assembled:
1 Haemonculous
5 Wracks
20 Warriors
20 Wyches


I will post some individual pics shortly.  Here is a shot of the whole army thus far:

Cheers!

Goals and Progress!

Well, after sitting down last night, I was able to finally finish off my Warrior for the monthly Painting Deathmatch over on the Miniwargaming painting forums.  I am pleased with how it came out, although I can see some areas I would have liked to have cleaned up a bit, but time ran out, so here it is:

Now, I have been browsing around a few of the painting forums, and I came across Fourth Company Librarium.  The painting is excellent, but what stood out for me was the points system.   Now this system gives each unit type a point value and allows you to set goals and track progress around these points.  Now, I have modified the values slightly, but these are the values as Kroxx and I are going to use:

Infantry = 1 Point
Cavalry = 2 Points
Bikes = 2 Points
Monster = 5 Points
Dreadnought = 5 Points
HQ = 5 Points
Vehicle = 10 Points
Superheavy vehicle = 20 Points

I will be adding a section to the site to allow us to keep track of our points and goals, but for now, our goals are as follows:

May 2012
Kroxx: 20 Points
Sarkastik: 15 Points

Now I have set my goal slightly lower, because at this point, that is the remainder of my models for my Dark Eldar, apart from a Haemonculous which needs a lot of green stuff work, thanks to Citadel's Finecast, and thus I don't think I will have the time to re-sculp some parts and get everything painted.  He will probably on the schedule for June.

Anyways, thanks for looking, and leave comments and as always C&C is always welcome!

Cheers!
