Alright, so 12k is a pretty elusive target, I've fallen short here repeatedly.
So lower the target right?
nope!
I got super close in 2020, was about 1300 short this past year. But I've got a mountain of plastic to paint and these challenges help keep me on track. Yes, I STILL have easily 12k to paint this year. (and probably next year too lol, but one thing at a time)
I'll update totals as I go for the following armies (all of which contain at least SOME unpainted models):
TOTAL: 5839
40k:
Craftworlds:495 Daemons: 470 Drukhari: Genestealer cult: League of Votann: 764 Necrons: 210 Orks: 145 Salamanders: Sisters of Battle: Star Wars Empire: Star Wars Rebels: Star Wars Separatists: Tyranids: 2645 Chaos Knights: 460
AOS:
Daughters of khaine: 180 Ogor Mawtribes: Soulblight Gravelords: Stormcast Eternals: 470 Endless spells:

I built and base-coated a whack of Eldar & Harlie minis in the fall of 2020. Didn't get any of them painted this past year. As what must have been punishment I base-coated an additional 200 Marines, Orcs, etc. this fall and have put up only one so far. Guess I better start chasing my own 12K starting today!

I struggle to paint even 2k of models in a year, let alone 12k. So even getting close to a target like that without the level of painting being "slap on 3 base colours and flock it" is downright impressive to me.
Best of luck this time! (I still cannot fathom that you _still_ have 12k of unpainted models btw, even with the 9th ed points increases my Craftworlds army is "only" around 8500 points)

This concept of painting models confuses me. I thought you just buy boxes to go on your shelf so that it looks like Nexus... but in your house.

I thought you just buy boxes to go on your shelf so that it looks like Nexus... but in your house. that's how my painting room is looking... a giant shelf of unbuilt boxes... put together five kits yesterday to start the new year's painting off and it barely made a dent lol Oh well, this year for sure... probably... maybe.... ummm I'll give it a shot

If you break it down some times it doesn't seem like as big a deal. Like it's only 231ish points a week lol.

Well that calculation is depressing. My "shelf of shame" is actually a 5 shelf resin tower, racked, stacked, and truly packed. Very little of it assembled yet (no, I'm not forgetting about the 200+ models I've assembled and base coated). And only myself to blame. Now that I'm "retired", I can see my (remaining) life's work literally in front of me.

you'd be surprised how much you can accomplish by just painting 30-60 minutes per day. That's generally what I do.

I haven't even finished building the Slaanesh army box yet for some reason I've built both Doomstalkers out of the Necron box.
30-60 minutes a day is what I've been doing, just it's been assembling the last couple weeks.

Yeah I need to start putting some hours in my painting for what I have sitting around too and I hope everyone gets a good year of painting this year

Thinking about putting together a month by month spreadsheet to track time painting and completed projects. Kind of a combination tracker, motivator, "get my ass back in gear when I take a break" reminder to keep me honest. 8)

I say it every year and so far haven't done it yet.
PC/PS games, shows/movies, and a toddler who always wants Daddy to play tend to make top of the list when it comes to free time just due to much easier access than setting up for painting.
I did manage to get a good chunk of assembling done in the last quarter of 2021 so I will aim to at least continue that trend this year as well

Alright... first model of the year done and it was a bit of an undertaking. Tyrannofex magnetized with all the weapon loadouts (because who knows what the 9th ed book will bring thought I'd do some future proofing). imgur.com/gallery/VOz8ezq
