If you go back to some of my early posts you will see that I have quite a few unpainted marines. I would guess that I am up at about 150 individual marines now. So I have been slowly doing some painting. The quality of my painting is poor but I am just trying to get them to the three color standard. Here I have 3 tac squads of the starter set marines plus a few others. I was pretty much practicing on these so they get better as the series goes.
Here is the latest set from assault on black reach. Certainly nothing fancy but reasonably clean.

There's nothing wrong with those guys. With all the unpainted stuff floating around these days, I'd be more than happy to play against these guys.
ReplyDeleteLike you mentioned, you get better with the more you paint. Keep up the work.
I agree, painted and based to a game standard is exactly that. Good enough for gaming. It is always such a shame to see in various blogs a battle report with dull grey unfinished part built miniatures. Takes away from the game. Keep up the good work, look forward to the next few hundred...
ReplyDeleteI have decided to do a painting pledge. Everytime I build something new I have to paint 2 things of the same class. Last night I finished assembling the Termi Apothecary and a power armor vet so I now have to work on painting 2 termis and 2 power armor vets before building anything else.
ReplyDeleteWell so much for all the romantic evenings together once the kiddo is in bed. Guess you'll be wining and dinning with your minis instead ☺
ReplyDeleteMe and my usual gaming partner have a rule to keep down the amount of unpainted models - you are allowed a maximum of 1 unit that is unpainted. If its not painted, you cant use it after that. It forces us both to keep building up our armies!
ReplyDeleteThe models looks great BTW. I talked on my blog about the whole army building vs painting a model topic - With an army its all about consistency of look - the photo at the top clearly shows that the models look great as a group :)
minimum standards ftw : )
ReplyDeleteI completely understand the feeling of having way to many marines to paint then you have paint brushes, and fingers.[think I Still have a company worth of marines to paint, damn you barter town and your wonderful deals on batch marines] Drop pod Idea has been stolen.
