Well ... the blogger app I was using to upload pictures has stopped working. So until I can figure out what went wrong, no more pictures.
Looking at my worksheet of miniatures I'm trying to get painted, I have around 350 to go. That's around 30 miniatures a month ... so I've decided to make that my stretch goal for each month.
I'm already behind, I've finished 11 miniatures in January. 10 Bloodbound for Shadows of Hammerhal and 1 Herdstone.
I like the Herdstone, it's better (i.e. more impressive) than the ones I kit-bashed for my 7th edition Beasts of Chaos army. I followed my "standard" terrain formula. Most of it was done with a grey undercoat, followed by a Administrum Grey drybrush with another dry brush of Screaming Skull in select places, and a wash of Nuln Oil (all over) followed by another one of Agrax Earthshade in select places.
The 10 bloodbound, I'm more "bleh" toward. The miniatures aren't as nice as the Karic Acolytes, and that might be why I didn't get more done this month. I wasn't really feeling it with these guys.
Still trying to figure out how I'll paint 49 miniatures in February to get caught back up. :-).

Out with 2018, In with 2019
Goodbye 2018 ... Hello 2019!
Looking back on my 2018 resolutions:
I've been a bit better with updating this blog. As I said in the previous resolution posts, I'm trying to make it mostly just a pictures blog. I haven't pictured everything I've painted, but definitely better than in previous years.
I'm not sure I painted as much of what I committed to at the start of the year. There are entire projects I didn't touch (I'm looking at you: Blood Bowl Teams, Eldritch Council and Malifaux Guild posse), but I did manage to paint 100 miniatures. I finished off all of the Shadespire Version 1 warbands, A bunch of Giants and Silver Tower (finally).
Looking forward to 2019:
Next year might be a slower year. Part of me wants to make it the year of Blood Bowl (and see how many Blood Bowl teams I can get painted), but I also want to paint more terrain, AoS endless spells, Shadows over Hammerhal, some Gloomspite Gits and start painting my Eldritch Council finally. That right there is a tonne of stuff.
I'm also going to try to go back and get more of my finished stuff pictured.
I've started a worksheet for 2019 here. It already has more on it than last year <sigh>. In my defense, about 1/2 of what's on it is Bloodbowl teams.
