Help! Find me something to paint!

Cake or Death?
As inevitably happens, I\'ve run into a painting block once again. I\'ve been painting non-stop for 6 months (I\'m on an extended medical leave) and I\'ve finally hit that point where nothing in my cabinet really appeals to me again. When I get like this, I usually find something different that makes me go at it differently, and it freshens the experience for me again.

For some reason, I can\'t seem to find that model.

So, here\'s where I\'m hoping you wonderful folks will help me: can you guys suggest a mini that is original and challenging for me to go after? If you aren\'t interested, I understand - I\'m just hoping that someone is sitting on something good and is itching to share. Thanks in advance!

Do you game or just paint? Do you want a model to go crazy on converting or just get to the brushin\'? Vehicle models I find are great way to break the funk. Maybe something outside the normal scale range you prefer would do it for you?

I\'ve been working on a vampire counts corpse cart. It\'s really fun! Or how about some Rackham stuff? That\'s always nice.

An Ultramarine!

Ok, just kidding :)

I always like going to a Rackham mini when I get bored. They have a totally different style compared to the GW stuff that I usually paint.

Try painting a mini in a different painting style. For example, if you always use white primer, try using black, or vice verce. If you use lots of washes, try painting a model using only layering and no wash/shades. I find this the best way to get out of painters block. You get to paint in a whole different way, and who knows, maybe you\'ll try something new and end up liking it!

Oh, and sign up for ME 18 if you haven\'t already. Lots of unique figures can be had from that.
