So in attempt to prove I'm hoping on a trend that looks fun I'm going to start my own hobby thread for the year. My goal is going to be to paint 200 models this year as that's been my goal every year I've been in the hobby so far and I have yet to reach it and I'm hoping that with this thread I'll have the motivation to do it! So as to steal an idea from Shannon's thread I have models to paint from the following armies.
Death guard:9 Tyranids: Ultramarines:30 Admech:53 Sisters of battle:5 Imperial knights:8 Thousand sons: Votann:10 Chaos space marines:1 Orks:2 Craftworld eldar:1 genestealer cults:
harlequins:2 custodes:5
BUT WAIT THERES MORE
Skaven:1 Blades of khorne: Ogors: Kruleboyz: Maggotkin of nurgle: Lumineth realm lords:
And a running list of other games I may get into that have models to paint
Dark souls board game: marvel crisis protocol:15
Wow seeing it laid out like that makes me think I have a problem that I don't want fixed lol. Some of those armies are mostly just a start collecting box that looked cool and I really wanted.
First couple days of the month I've built 3 stormfiends and painted a master of possession so that's a start right?

Figured I'd post the master of possession right away since I literally finished him on new years day! I'm very much a "tabletop quality" kind of painter lol http://instagram.com/p/Cm-oI_iNLkW

I've never seen an imperial fist look this good!
In all seriousness I really do like your colour choices. Coincidentally, I spent the last few days trying to figure out how to paint a decent yellow quickly while also trying to figure out contrast paints a little better. I'm not sure they are easier to use than regular layer paints, but I'm starting to get it.

I find contrast /speedpaints better at some things and worse ar others. When I tried it on my votann I loved it since less of the models were metalic but it's more of a pain on my chaos since I usually just prime them silver and paint in the panels yellow.

Good start for sure!
200 models is a great goal - good luck!

Spent this week getting started on lots of test models for possible armies to work on this year. Only finished off the ork boy test model but got a good chunk done a harlequins troupe master and an aberrant. Hoping next week to work more on building and painting harlequins stuff. imgur.com/a/HGNRyGd

So this week was mostly spent building some imperial knights and the new demon prince but I did end up painting up one if my armiger knights. Wanted to see how quickly i could paint one up to a standard I was happy with (mostly to see if I could get a list ready for the league) got one done I was actually pretty happy with and did my first go at muzzle burn. Way easier than I expected. Hoping to get 1 or 2 more knights painted by then end on next week. imgur.com/a/hmj9OHN

Another big knight down. 1 last big knight left to paint for my clubs list. I realize that saying "I want to paint 200 models this year" then painting 2k points of knights may have been counterintuitive imgur.com/a/Z3zqK87
