2021 Distracted Carnifex's Painting Log

[distractedcarnifex]

Inspired by the 12K in 2021 thread, I took stock of my painting on my first day of leave. I painted in some fits and starts, but I feel good about the year - my wife got me a new airbrush for my Birthday and that really changed things.

40K:

Dark Angels (2,650 points):

1 x Phobos Captain
1 x Lazarus
4 x Company Veterans
1 x Apothecary

3 x Eradicators
1 x Attack Bike
3 x Eliminators
5 x Assault Intercessors
3 x Outriders
1 x Redemptor
3 x Plasma Inceptors

1 x Land Raider Crusader
10 x Deathwing Terminators


Necrons (695 points):

1 x Nightbringer
10 x Warriors
3 x Skorpech Destroyers
1 x Chronomancer


AOS Chaos (2,090 points) - these had been been in my pile of shame from 2011 (Chaos) and 2018 (Khorne). Mostly painted in a frenzy for the recent tourney will clean-up since then:

1 x Chaos Lord
1 x Khorgus
Bloodsecrator
Bloodstoker
10 x Bloodletters
3 x Bloodcrushers
24 x Chaos Warriors
5 x Chaos Knights

Necromunda
10 x Escher Models

Bolt Action (2000 points +-) This was the Spring lockdown:

20 x Italian Bersagieri
30 x Grenadiers (this was a two week summer leave journey painting along with Duncan Rhodes)
1 x 8 cm mortar
1 x MMG
1 x 88mm 

I aim to knock out 5 x Deathwing Knights, 5 x Necron Immortals, 1 x Stormcast character and maybe some Slaves to Darkness before 2022. I am really happy with my airbrush for Dark Angels and laying the basecoats on my Chaos dudes.

Thanks! They aren't going to win any painting competition, but they are battle ready!

Something I tried this year was "hobby streak." Watching some painting videos on Youtube during the Christmas lockdown I came across this a couple of times (Dana Howl and Goobertown IIRC). The idea is that instead of setting goals in terms of "this week I will paint these models" you simply say "I will do 30 minutes of hobby every day." 

Living in the quarters during the week in Petawawa with no evening sports or activities made fulfilling a "hobby streak" both easy and also something to add some structure to my evenings. Slowly but surely I was cranking out painted models. Then I started eating into the pile of shame.

I still do the "frenzy of painting to be ready for a tournament" as seen for the AOS tourney, but I finished up those models over the past three weeks doing the hobby streak thing.
