Another month rolls around - loads of models got painted in April, time to better that in May. For those in the Northern hemisphere, the weather might be starting to get nice, so it's time to hunker down, close the windows to keep the pollen out, draw the curtains so the nasty sun can't burn, and get some serious painting work done. I've already got my first models finished for the month - fine, I started them in April, but I only count them as done in the month they're completed. So here's 10 of the new Dire Wolves: I was going to paint a unit of the old Dire Wolves next, but when I picked up the models to work out what to paint where, I remembered I hate them so much, and I don't want to go near them. So instead, I'm painting some non-Warhammer stuff for the first time in many years, and making a start on my Lord of the Rings models with 15 Gondor Rangers/Blackroot Vale Archers. If I get downtime to do something else, I'll either move onto more sacrilegious LoTR models with Knights of Dol Amroth, or I'll cleanse myself by painting a big smashy Warhammer monster. Maybe my giant Mierce Varghulf, or ideally that Carmine Dargon I keep saying I'll get done.

I'm going to start this month with an old Metal Hydra for my Dark Elves. I'm getting hand cramps from all the drilling, but by the time I'm finished I'm hoping to be able to throw the thing against a wall and it won't come apart. not that I'd ever do that

Simple. One Steam Tank. or not so simple because I only have bits and pieces and it's not complete. Will need to figure something out. It'll be a Frankentank.

Great start, Sedge! I want to get some models painted for both my squat and my Albion armies. I also have a couple of bits of scenery to do, and I'm going to start building the henge chariot for my Albion force. At least, that's the plan.

I have 10 Gor on the board that I’ll almost certainly get done. After that we’ll see what catches my fancy. Flagellants, Saurus Warriors, Empire characters, stegadons all are possibilities!

Hey, guys! I'm gonna try to jump back into the fray.
I'm still hard at work on my commission painting (Thankful that after two years, I haven't run out of a steady supply of work, but hasn't allowed for much personal painting time either.) but this month I'm going to try getting my Valten Chanpion painted as a personal break while I try making progress on the World Eaters army on my desk.
You guys know me. I'll probably work in more.

Roadblocked by onerous chariot repairs I’m making myself do after last weekend’s tournament outing, away for a family weekend now and being indecisive about what to do next so a slow start to this month for me.
Should I carry on with my Undivided Chosen to get that army closer to done? That’s supposed to be the plan. Finally get stuck into my Bestigor? Finish those stormtroopers I started last year? I fancy carrying on painting Khorne warriors, but particularly more marauders (bloodreavers) - but that’s really just a collecting thing, they are not a competitive gaming choice. And they take bl••dy ages. I should really paint my great weapon warrior unit to use instead of my ahw warriors but not feeling them right now.

I'm again super busy this month, but I like the challenge, so I'm going to say raise the painting standard on 50 orc arrer boys, and 3x free hand banners to really push me and my hand eye coordination.

Instead of starting on the steam tank as planned, I painted a few skeletons. Like one does.

Gonna try and get five Sisters of Avelorn done before the month is through. Maybe next month I can do the other five.

Here's my first non-Warhammer models in years - 15 Blackroot Vale Archers, including Duinhir, for Lord of the Rings: I was going to move onto Swan Knights of Dol Amroth next, but it turns out I haven't primed Prince Imrahil, so instead I picked up a Mierce Verminlord, Mierce Varghulf, and my Forge World Carmine Dragon. I should get the first two finished easily this month, but probably not the dragon.
