Well, as it stands right now, I have 142 completed.
Unfortunately, Toranados are rolling thru the area and have knocked the power for a loop, so no more progress can be made until the power is restored. :(
I could continue, but let's face it, painting by the light of an iPhone and candles just isn't going to cut it.
I am throwing in the towel for tonight. I'm not sure how much I can accomplish tomorrow, as I have a BBQ to attend, and that will eat up a bunch of my day.
Still, I feel 142 is a very respectable number, and I will be sure to post pictures as soon as I am able to light them and use the desktop. We will see what nature has in store between now and 5pm tomorrow.

... in which I give another update!
A little over 28 hours remain. Things are coming together well, but I still feel very much behind the ball. Let's see where this goes.
I'll be updating periodically over the next few hours. I'm hoping to bust the 190 mark by the end of the day. I have a huge batch that just needs to be flocked, so once I got those done, I think the 206 mark will be in reach!
Stay tuned!

... in which I update again!
Whew!
I finished off painting another 23 miniatures today, and after the ink dries, I can flock them, and call them completed.
It really will be a race to the finish line, as I assembled and primed an additional 74 miniatures today.
If my math is correct, that would put me at 194 if I finish all of what I have primed over the next week. That puts me 12 shy.... sounds like I need to find a quick squad to paint!
PS: Forgive me for not taking pics. I prefer to spend my time painting, rather than uploading pictures. The pics will follow after the completion of the challenge.

... in which I give a quick update.
Well, here it is, heading into the weekend.
I just finished flocking the 97th mini, and I look at the timer and realize I only have a little over 9 days to go. I haven't even cracked 100 yet. Things are going to go into another slow patch. I need to assemble and prime another batch.
So, I think I am going to be totally busted here. Realistically, I can't do 109 minis in 9 days.
... I won't give up though. I say we let the timer go, I'll post how many I have done at the end of 30 days, and then I'll stop it when I complete my 206th.
Now it is late, and my eyes are a bit blurry from speed painting an entire Dwarf army.

... in which the numbers lie... my desk has been invaded by goblins!
Fear not, loyal reader, for I have not abandoned you.
I numerically look pretty far behind in my painting challenge. However, this challenge is not just painting. This is assembling, priming, painting... The whole shebang from start to finish.
Over the past week I have been working on my goblins from the Battle for Skull Pass. 43 are ready to drop, with another 21 primed and ready to go. The entire dwarf portion of the box is also primed and assembled. Meaning, I'll be over the 100 mark probably by the end of the week.... No promises tho, I still need to pace myself. Lately I've been gluing and assembling rather than painting, but now that my desk looks like an invading army, I'm ready to get to some serious work.
More updates to follow!

Testing out the Necron list
Well, I got in a game this evening with Mr. O. We both tested out our tourney lists. I was fairly pleased with how my army worked, though I did find a few holes. Everything operated fairly smoothly, no bad mistakes.
I didn't take any pictures since this was a friendly test game, and I didn't take notes on what happened either.
The high points of the game:
Snipers took out the Nightbringer
Necron lord and immortals wreaked total havoc.
Pariahs went the distance with assault marines
Monolith deployment worked like a charm.
I ended up losing the battle, 3-1
I lost my Nightbringer and monoliths, but I took out a marine squad. If we would have went one more turn, I honestly feel I would have caught back up.
