Ballpark estimate of figures he\'s painted this month is like 20 or more.

25 to date. Apparently the finish the mini bug has bit.

After seeing everyone posting ratings on the signature line, I added this.

Another goal for me is to crack into the top 1000!! I got a ways to go, but thats what\'s good about having a goal.lol

2. Finish the multitudes of unfinished and half realized projects.

3. Learn to take more quality photos.

4. Play a real game of Warhammer.

5. Organize my painting room better. Scratch better, just organize it period.

Sounds like my plan mate, now that uni\'s ending i can finally sit down and paint that Bretonnian army thats been staring at me for weeks...

Ah the joys of warhammer...i think its time you joined us...just don\'t play any bratty children with too much money (ie. go to a proper gaming club) and you\'ll have no end of fun!

Rik :)

3) Paint Irusk for my Khador Warmachine army in time for the May 29th tournament. I dont know if I\'ll run Khador or Mercs at this one so I want my options open.
4) I also want that elusive 8 on CMON
and last but not least
5) Enter Super Freakdom with the people who signed onto CMON about the same time I did. I am way behind some of you guys! lol
UPDATE:
1) Done. He graduated and is now in the real world.
2) The Trollkins are done. I promise NEVER to do tartan again!!
3) Well, he\'s assembled. Do I get 1/2 points for that?
4)No where near this goal yet... :(
5) No Where near this one either.... :(

Goals:

1.-Break the 7 points barrier with my minis (I know I have received some 7`s and 8`s in the comments but I want 7 in the average)

2.-Finish all the minis I have lurking in the table before buying any other. (that´s almost imposible, I´m a compulsive minis buyer)

3.-Finish the LOTR Gimly miniature I´ve been trying to paint.

4.-Improve my english...

Congratulations on 1 & 2 (especially 1)
You\'ll reach that 8. Do what I did and post something so clever folks overlook the painting skills.
As to 5, come on Lurch, we\'re waiting for you:D (I joined a week before you)

1. Get my painting group at the local gaming store really kicking

2. Take a carload to GD Atlanta `05

3. Come back with several Demons for our little band

4. Find a good price to charge for commissions so my work is steady but not insane

5. Paint up my own SOB army

6. Get at least two minis per month sold through Ebay

an update:
1. The painting group is still going pretty well. It seems to be a steady group. Since that was one of my goals, things are going there pretty much the way I wanted them to.

2. Way to early to tell on this one, though I know I\'ve got at least one person who will go with me.

3. Ditto #2

4, 5 & 6 seem to be almost contradictory. I can either paint for commissions or I can paint for ebay; it\'s difficult to do both steadily AND get any painting done for myself. I\'ve got a couple of minis that I could sell almost done, I\'ve completed several commissions, and my Sisters are coming along nicely.

That, and the commission work in my area is extremely low paid. Commissions have the advantage that I don\'t have to pay for the mini and I know how much I\'ll be paid in advance. But I question if it is worth it to take time away from higher-paying ebay sales to do commission work.

Update:

This is what I wanted to do.


1) Finish all my GD entries before games day this year.
2) Get a gold demon.
3) Improve my CMON rating (its been slipping recently what with all the great work thats been coming out).
4) Clear some of the vast backlog of minis I have.


lets see...

1) I think I might modify this to finish one GD entry before GD. I\'ve not really even started although the bits for the mount for my 40K large are out of the box and on my desk :D
2) See above, maybe just getting an entry in would be more realistic.
3) Well if the snipers stay away I may manage this when the next batch of minis hit 50 votes.
4) hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...
Lets see, this month painted 2 minis, bought 16...

My other goal was to do some of the Hybrid stuff I recently got, well, I just finished the Venerable Ambrosius, better get my skates on and do the rest :)

I have to add a new goal: finish the fairy for my GF before she goes into hospital in a couple of weeks.

My aim... paint my Dirz army to a standard I like.

UPDATE: Most of my 300 Point army is now painted. I think they suck. Does that count as having reached the goal or do I have to buy another army? ???

Okay, some of you good painters are adding pics and making me further than ever from 25%. So stop it. No one better than me is allowed to post any more pictures:p

vincegamer... good luck with that. I too keep hoping all the bestest painters will move to their own site - freakishlygoodmini.com - and leave me here in the 95th percentile. And I\'d like a pony too please.

Painting goals:
- get back on a Mini-a-week schedule at some point, it was tough but I produced some of my most interesting work under that pressure.
- learn how to *quickly* paint a 5.0 mini, like in an hour or so
- (if you\'ll pardon me getting a little confessional) learn to channel episodes of angst and depression into increased output, rather than apathetically sitting in front of the TV/computer.

Make it to the top 100. Before the burnout I was ranked #103, which miffed my pride, and now I\'m #138 or so. SOME people have been busy while I was taking a painting holiday :flame:lol.
Update : Shucks. Seems like it\'s gonna take a couple of 9+ minis to get me in that exclusive club. I\'ll get right on it (yeah, sure). :rolleyes::rolleyes:lol

Congrats to all of you who\'ve reached some of their goals !

Reach for the stars...well, the paintbrushes at least

So many goals, so little time

1. Really must get painting. Spending too much time \'looking\' at my models or re-arranging them :(

2. Sort out old models that I\'ll never get around to painting. Then I can buy some new ones :D

3. Get back into the forums again. I\'ve missed taking part in all the banter - but I guess sometimes, a little thing called \'life\' has to take precedence :rolleyes:

4. Get something arranged to meet a whole load of folks at the UK GD awards this year. Come on people - I know you\'re out there ;)

5. I must finish my \'almost\' done figures: another Eclipsante, Rune Guardian and Ashan T\'yr to name but a few :eek:

Watch this space :] :flip:

Sounds great Tooshy, but how about the site you were planning to build? ;)
Anyway looking forward to see more minis painted by you.

I don\'t have that much goals:

1) Finish the first part of my Hybrid commission job I\'m working on.

2) Finish the projects I\'m working on for the upcoming painting competitions here in Belgium (september-october).

3) Expand my Confrontation Drunes army.

4) Team up with someone else to create a bigger and better site than the one I have now, with a more professional painting service (first ideas are being worked out, we even don\'t have a name yet :)), also for september

After september: don\'t know yet, probably more commission work (Hybrid) and single minis for my personal collection.

My goals:

1. World Domination!!!
2. Regular 7\'s here on CMON
3. An 8 for a paintjob here on CMON
4. Win at least one game of 40K within the year (I really suck...)

Unfortunately the first one is the most likely to succeed
