Painting: 2024 Accomplishments, 2025 Resolutions
« on: December 09, 2024, 03:52:10 PM »
What did you get painted in 2024? What do you plan to paint in 2025? Time to crow about accomplishments... or grovel in shame. Time to over-commit for next year!

I'll go first, because I am a bit inspired to this post as I wrap up a very tedious round of painting additional swordsmen and halberdiers... Not that I have big plans for them. It's just that (shamefully) I've had some unfinished blocks of state troops for years (Decades? :icon_eek:) and I know when the new book drops I will be focusing on other things, so desperately trying to close them out before I get distracted. But it was actually a big year for me. I'm pretty happy with my accomplishments and motivated for the new book!

Completed in 2024

- General on Imperial Griffon
- Wizard Lord on Imperial Griffon
- Wizard on Pegasus (Partially... need to finish the pegasus)
- BSB on Barded Steed (completed this model, had been partially done before)
- 2 Empire Engineers
- Helblaster Volleygun and Crew
- 20 Swordsmen
- 32 Halberdiers
- Ogre Tyrant on Foot
- Ogre Butcher on Foot (completed partially painted model)
- And I hope to complete a BSB and a General on foot, and also that wizard's pegasus in the next two weeks to round out the year

Commitments for 2025
- 6 Ogre Man Eaters
- 2 Mortars and crew
- Priest of Ulric on Foot
- Beast Magic wizard on foot
- Grand Master of the knights panther
- Complete 15 Knights of the white wolf (They just need hair, highlights, a couple of details, and bases)
- Maybe a war wagon or two?
- Maybe another Steam tank?

In the backlog (How likely am I really to get to any of these?):
- 2 Preists of Sigmar on Foot
- 20 Archers
- 40 Greatswords
- 10 Militia
- Some unknown quantity of teutogen guard
- 20 Swordsmen (Talabheim)
- 18 Hlaberdiers (Talabheim)
- Complete 5 partially painted pistoliers
- Complete 30 partially painted flagellants
- Complete 50 partially painted halberdiers

I totally think you get at least partial credit for the orcs and goblins. Any painting counts. Honestly, I think any tedious rank and file units ought to count for double than the centerpiece models. So hard to stay motivated for those.

Looks like you're gearing up for Nuln and knights! Those armies should be cool.

In November I painted the remaining 28 Regiment of Altdorf halberdiers after having finished the first two a few years back. I’m currenworking in the command models (the Marauder Miniatures drummer & standard bearer and a random armored halberdier as the campion). After that my plan is to paint 24 of the 6th edition spearmen. Who knows after that, but my goal for 2025 is to have a painted Empire army ready for Old World games.

I cleaned up  (Mostly painting the socks again, and other details past (14year old) me missed.)

  • 25 Spearmen
  • 20 Handgunners
  • 10 Greatswords, and I painted 10 more

I also painted some imperial ogres, and a resin pegasus or two.

I would like to clean up and GET SHIELDS for my knights.  They were supposed to be painted separetly some 15 years ago and uh, didn't make it to now.  I also have the empire manor terrain to paint.  I also want to finish the imperial ogre bsb, he is only basecoated.


I also want to finish my night goblin, skaven, and lizardmen Spearheads.  (Yes I am playing the fanstasy AOS factions only.  Still mad they blew up the planet, but I like spearhead.)

Rebased for TOW and “finished” painting in 2024

31 6th edition spearmen, FC
10 6th edition handgunners
6th edition great cannon
10 metal flagellants
Kit bashed Helstorm Rocket Launcher
Old metal BSB on foot
Old metal Elector Count on foot
Old metal mage on foot, one of the ones that came with a mounted version in the same blister. Horse boy is still in the queue.
Old metal warrior priest, the one with the sledgehammer
Old metal Arch Lector
3 Badlands Ogre mercs from Wargames Atlantic

Currently on the painting table:

7 6th edition knights, FC
6th edition metal Helblaster
10 Archers made from the Mordhiem sprues
20 Free Company
6th edition metal steam tank, the full sized version.
Metal Engineer with the pigeon and repeater pistol

The above projects stand a decent chance of being finished before 2025. For 2025 I have another 3000 points of GW empire troops in various stages of painting, plus essentially Highlands’ entire Sunland STL library.
