Please do! I'd love to see it.

I haven't completed anything on the list, so nothing needs to be bolded - but I wish to report I have made the pavaises for all ten Xbowmen, and have completed the figures' component assembly. I need to finish the greenstuffing of armor plates etc. onto them and then they will be done.

Have completed two of the marines and the two terrain pieces, pics soon.
There are 40 different shades of black, so many fortresses and ways to attack.

So why you complaining!

Well, I have completed the 3 Ogre unit fillers.

I have not yet started the other stuff, and am running out of time. Wasting valuable painting time over the weekend mass-producing terrain for a tournament didn't help matters (can't really put it in here because it was a team effort).

I'm working on a VC army at the moment (I started before I knew there was a new book coming out - I'm not just some modiste, I swear!), so mine are pretty much going to be VC-related.

Since I'm such an epically slow painter, mine for January are:

10 Skeletons (started in December)
10 Ghouls

Skeletons are done. Ghouls are basecoated.

20 halberdiers finished. Pics to prove will be on my plog later today.

Since we're only halfway through January I might as well do more. Put me down for 5 pistoliers also.
