well i got the Mega Paint Set for Xmas () so i can get started momentarily.
Since this is a 'Tale of Armies' thread, i was thinking we agree on a points value to be completed for this time next year and work monthly from there?
What do you all think?
how many points do you all want/have?
Any ideas welcome, its my first time doing this...
A mega paint set would be a great gift. Santa wasn't so nice to me but I did get two $50 gift cards for ebay so I plan on getting somemore stuff.
I just made an army list on army builder for my ork apocalypse army. As of today I have 4914 points of ork stuff I own in various stages from unassembled to, assembled, to primed, to partially painted to fully painted.
By this time next year I am hoping to have well over 3500 points assembled and painted.
I think a good goal would be doing a squad a month. Leaves you some time to do lighter stuff if you want like a heavy choice in a month where you have a lot on your plate, yet on a slow month a squad of 30 boys, or a squad of 12 w/ trukk, or even a stompa or a FW model.
This should put you probably around 1500+ points for the year. My average squad size ranges from 150-175 pts.. and consists of a mix of stuff. Usually atleast 10 models except for dreads, kan squads, and heavy options. But considering some of the squads I will have to paint like 30 boys will be a royal pain as of right now it takes 10 hours for me to paint 10 boyz to my standard. A squad of boyz will be a project, as will my Stompa.
I am going to vote for a squad a month. Gives some flexibility and will keep us focused. 12 squads / units should be enough to make our armies really shine or possibly complete them in a year. Which is the goal I would like to aim for. Plus that will give me some room if I want to stray a bit from my ork army and tackle an apocalypse unit.
