So here we are half way through the year already. Where did that go? I’m at 265 completed minis so far this year. that is a few less that last year but I’m having fun painting the new project Silver Bayonet 1850 and the big scary thing won me a GB last week as well so all is right with the world. Here’s the most recent scary thing that got finished:
How’s everyone else getting along?
July 1, 2023 at 10:27 pm #1826340Steady progress on working through all the Baron’s War: Outremer Kickstarter models. I’m about two-thirds done now, so on track to get them wrapped up in the next few months.
Spring Clean Challenge was a nice diversion, getting a Turnip28 standard regiment done. Felt good to wrap up a small self-contained project thanks to the extra motivation provided by the Challenge.
I think I’ve painted about 150 models so far this year, which isn’t bad going for me. There’s a little bit of work to be done in the second half of the year to balance out numbers of painted models vs newly bought models, but nothing too dramatic (yet).
Neglecting my 15mm Napoleonic collection at the moment, at least in terms of painting anyway. I may miss my target for adding a few more battalions this year, but I’ve been holding off a little to think about what direction I want to build my collection.
Anyway, some photos of progress to date – Turnip28 regiment, all my painted Islamic Outremer models and all the Knights Hospitaller too.
July 1, 2023 at 11:33 pm #1826355July 10, 2023 at 10:19 am #18275682 more models done towards my pledge. I’ve really been slacking on this and I see more slacking ahead of me. I could really do without all this “work” nonsense getting in my way.
July 20, 2023 at 9:10 pm #1829515Well I actually managed to complete a target ?. Finished the French Indian Wars figures I have had lurking in the “pile of pride” since 2013!!!. Can be seen in the project entries Compagnies de Ia marine and Native Americans and French Artillery
August 23, 2023 at 4:46 pm #1834424I’ve gotten a bunch more KDM finished. My end is in sight! (Oh-er!) More pics and info can be found in my project.
August 23, 2023 at 5:07 pm #1834427Those KD:M are lovely @lawnor . You are miles ahead of me on that one. My Gambler’s Chest arrived last week. I’ve now got a metric ton of KD:M that needds building and painting. Not going to get a look in as I’m still enjoying the Silver Bayonet 1850 project along with some other random bits. Here is the Pale Pharoah from Lucid Eye:
Current total 330 completed miniatures.
August 24, 2023 at 10:17 am #1834528My Gamblers Chest arrived while I was working on the last of those models. One day I’ll catch up with my pile of shame, but it is not this day.
August 27, 2023 at 7:12 pm #1834924A bit of an update on the year so far: https://www.beastsofwar.com/project-entry/1834922/
Need to crack on with more painting.
September 25, 2023 at 12:05 pm #18389304 more models done. This leaves 1 more model on my list and he’s mostly done now too.
October 2, 2023 at 1:55 pm #1839919The Hive Colossus by Artisan Guild. He’s the last model I had called out to finish painting in 2023. My last remaining target on my list is to paint at least as many models as I gain. That’s 36 more models, if I behave myself. I have about 8 started on my desk right now, and one more Cycle of Aeon Trespass I’d like to get done this year. There’s 13 more weeks left in 2023, so that’s 2.77 models per week on average. If I had no other hobby distractions that’d be easy. We will see.
October 2, 2023 at 3:07 pm #1839929@lawnor you are a hobby-completion-machine! Awesome work, amazing progress. You make it look easy!
Not only do you paint a phenomenal number of minis – you also paint the eyes. Flumpft. That’s the sound of me doffing my cap to you.

Its almost November. We’ve 2 months left on the year to complete our pledges. I’m seeing a lot of colour on the chart. Can we get a bit more green before 2024? Two months is plenty of time for some progress. I’m still chasing the last 15+ models I need to be as on target as I can get at this stage. All progress is good progress, even if we don’t get everything done.
