Tale Of Painters - Fantasy/40k 09-10

Well, long time no posts. It seems that I'm really rather crap at this. But that's also a little true of any regular thing, where I have no deadlines or such looming over me. Well, for my painting, that has changed. I now have signed myself up for the Tale Of Painter, both Fantasy and 40k, on Warseer. This is going to be an interesting exercise.

Fantasy
I have organised myself a plan that covers the 2000(+) points that I need to paint over the year for ToFP. This will be 2000 points of Lizardmens, and will not include the unit of Saurus that I have already completed. There will be a wide range of units, but the core will revolve around blocks of Saurus Warriors.

Those are some of the first months goal, 24 Skinks, setup and waiting to be painted. Got the idea from someone else on Warseer who was doing Night Gobbies. These shouldn't be too hard to get done, and are all that I have atm. When next pay day happens will be buying a bunch of stuff, most importantly the Battalion box so I'll have heaps and heaps of new stuff to paint.

40k
For the 40k tale, I'm planning to do some tanks. That's really it. I want to expand my IG force to include tanks. At the moment I have 2 Leman Russ and a Chimera that I need to paint. All the turrets are FW ones, and I intend to make the future turrets for my Chimeras into Autocannon turrets. The success of this Tale is dependent on when I get my airbrush system set up. If, like I hope, its by the start of August, then we should be all good. If later, as I suspect, then bugger.

Other Items
This is mostly to show off my girlfriends painting. She has had, for many year, poked and prodded at Undead. I thought that I might show off those that are fully completed and based, as well as some of her Pirate Zombies.
