Miniatures Painted This Year (July)

I'm a little late with this one... again... but here's how I fared in July (it's not good I'm afraid).

So, let's switch things around with this one, and start off with what I bought/got (though to be fair it was my birthday in July, so some of these are gifts).

Now, admittedly, you can't see much in this picture - but it's the only photo I have of the unpainted Ogryn model that I bought off ebay. Basically, I had watched a few reviews of the Dark Tide miniatures game (as it seems an OK co-op game, despite the price), and I got it into my head that I wanted to paint an Ogryn for the OPR firefight warband that I'm putting together.

And while 40k abhumans (are they still called that?) were on my mind (which sounds a bit weird - but you know what I mean), I also picked up a bunch of individual sprues from The Sprue Shop again.

Now, it's a bit hard to make them out in the pic, but I got a sprue of Wargames Atlantic 'Einherjar' (space dwarves) and 'SneakFeet' (space hobbits) - which can fill in for old school 40K squats and ratlings. While I was at it, I also picked up a sprue of their new werewolves, and some 'Quar' (for conversions... as they were cheap ;) ).

In addition to those I also got the aformentioned Dark Tide miniatures game for my birthday...

...however, technically - I didn't actually buy this myself... so I'm going to cheat a little, and not count the contents as miniatures that 'I' bought this year... as technically (there's that word again), I didn't :P

Anyway... on to the miniatures that I actually got painted:

So yeah... that's just two models. The first one being the ogryn I showed at the very beginning, and the second one is the Arbite that I assembled last month (who I've painted up in white, as that's the colour they wear when leading penal legion troops... apparently).

And if I do a quick tally, that's...

80 PAINTED

81 BOUGHT

...this year.

Which means that July was the month where I started to fall behind :(

But, as long as I can hold off buying any more mini's this month... and get at least one more model painted - then that won't be so bad... right?
