Just finished putting texture paint on a bunch of epic stands. Total of 76 miniatures. So tomorrow in the afternoon, when the base texture is dry, just a drybrush or 2 and sticking the grass on, and i'll be at 991 models painted.

Then onto some special stuff to finish my challenge!!!

[petercooman]

So these are done:



Some space marine squads, command and librarians, and an inquisitor in front (shiny armour)


Some terminators and a lone predator  got as part of a lot


So adding these to the total brings me to 991 models painted!

The last 9 will be something more of a treat fo me, but i hope i will find the time to finish them fast, as i have been putting off some scenery stuff to get more minis painted!

PS: i need a new detail brush, as it's getting a lot harder to paint the chapter emblems on the shoulder pads!

Excellent!

Told you painting Epic would boost your numbers (2600ish)

[paulr]

Well done, that man

Are you sure the problem is the detail brush

[petercooman]

Excellent!

Yup! I think, for next year I'll paint epic for 3 months and relax the rest of the year 😃

Well done, that man

Yes, the first batches came out good so ...   + I've spotted a few stray hairs on my brush so that's a sign as wel.

Well done Peter, a big pile of figures painted throughout the year.

I like the last few personality commanders.

The pill box is cool too, did you add the texture?  But you need to paint the tabs that show when the roof is off.
