I hate to paint everything, it's a necessary evil, and basing is even worse!

But I will admit to sometimes I actually feel like painting, and find it relaxing.  Though I'd certainly rather be playing ;)

I sometimes find an upcoming game is the motivation I need to hit the brushes.
Buy plenty of Matron's sculpts now!

If he keeps using the chainsaw, the value of his work will soon go up.

just been asked by an old friend to paint his British peninsula cavalry.

He was the guys who inspired me to start painting in the first place!

I changed my mind. Sails. I hate painting sails even more than I hate painting pikemen....

If I were creating Pendraken I wouldn't mess about with Romans and  Mongols  I would have started with Centurions , eight o'clock, Day One!

Hate the ships if you must, but they look pretty good.

I really hate painting bases where the figures are in close-order ranks. Getting the brush in between these figures is a nightmare - the only consolation being that the various splashes and blemishes aren't easily seen.
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.

I don't hate painting anything, but last night I remembered I'm not keen on the cleaning or assembly bit!

I wish I hated painted ships as much as that.  :-bd
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Cheers lads, they are like impressionis paintings thogh - lovely at a distance, but so rough when you're close up. Luckily my camera on my phone is also rubbish, so that covers up some of the sloppyness.  :D

Pikemen are boring. Sails were sent by some god as divine retribution for some abomination I must have done in a former life.....

I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain why you are wrong.
