Finishing the Dwarves

I've switched over to Dwarves now in an attempt to get that army completely finished. I did finish a unit of Warriors/Longbeards back in March and I'm looking to finish the rest of the army. I spent a few hours on the airbrush blocking in a few of the large area base colors. This really saves on brush time later on. Here's 53 WIP dwarf models after airbrush work including 15 Hammerers, 20 Quarrelers, 10 Thunderers, 2 Organ Guns/Cannons w/ crews, and 2 Grudge Throwers with crews. Should be able to knock out these in a relatively quick manner.

Vampire Counts: Dire Wolves

Taking a break from finishing all my Space Marine models. Decided to get my dire wolves painted. Going to posting a fair bit of speed painted models for awhile as I'm trying to get my two Warhammer armies done as well as get all the models I own painted by year's end. Did this unit up in about 7 hours. Painting all the bone bits really slowed me down. They were fun to paint though. I love painting gory models.

2015: A Resolution Update

Figured it was time for an update to my 2015 model painting resolution. Well, it's going....... not as great as I wanted. Below you can see a breakdown of what's been painted (black) and what's left (red). Models with an asterisk next to them have been models that were added or purchased since the first resolution post, http://makinglittleboynoises.blogspot.com/2015/01/2015-resolution.html
There's been a few changes with some subtractions and some additions. Net models, I've only created 7 more models to paint then I started the year off with. Many of these models came from raffles or prize support from leagues and tournaments.

Painting has been a bit slow but I'm also knocking out all my Warmachine/Hordes models first and those models take more time as I paint them to a pretty high standard. I also speed painted 17 models from the Shadows of Brimstone board game which I don't count towards my miniature collection. Now, I've just started back in on the Warhammer Fantasy and 40K stuff again. Things will progress much faster as I tend to not spend as much time per model on big units of models.

So, will finish all my models before year's end? Probably not but maybe. Either way I'm going to continue painting with very very minimal purchasing.
