I'm going to try to be more realistic this month. I have a 5-model (!!!) 150 point Infinity list. I've done 1 model already. I will attempt to get the other 4 done. That is all.

Some progress today. Working from home and taking care of the baby, so the pace is limited at best Mad

Minor update. No major milestones reached, but most bases have been painted and washed, and i'm up to chitinous carapace armour plate base coating.

There should be a few more termagants laying about somewhere

Archon and warriors done, even based another 5 warriors i forgot to mention in my vow.
Check my plog if you want to see proof, don't know how to photobukkit with my phone.
Also i'll probably not prime the Venom yet, but to compensate for that i'll build a Talos... mostly...used some of it's parts on my grotesque converions thinking Talos version doesn't need em.
I erred.
Now i have to come up with a replacement Embarassed

Looking good Nexs!

So I was gonna post up to say I was going to have to bail on my vow having decided to refine (aka sell) a lot of my marine collection. Having just checked my vow however it seems none of the stuff I'm getting rid of is on there - so I've got five days to finish a storm talon base, and my thunderfire in new colours! That's doable, though I'll have to drop progress on my scout bikers.

Here's the finished stuff so far.
Storm talons

Nice, what chapter tactics do you use.for these guys? They look like an iron hands successor. "gold arms" perhaps.
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, I'm so original

I'm also a fail - the Succubus ended up staying in on Saturday night so we watched a film instead of me having the evening to paint Sad

@Marrath Are the wiggly light blue lines in the armour plating deliberate? If so, very nice, i like!

My monthly update is in my plog if anyone is interested.
