Finding out just what is on someone else's
painting table is kind of cool. Will you see any of these
models in upcoming Black Gobbo issues, White Dwarf,
or in some other key project? Who knows, but it is a great
way to see just how many models/projects other hobbyists tackle
at a time.
I'm currently working on my Bretonnian Warband, my Army of
the Dead for a LOTR campaign, some Dwarfs for a Games Day
LOTR table, and my WWI-inspired Imperial Guard army that I'll
be taking to the Baltimore GT. After that, I have to get started
on a Middenheim Empire army for Storm of Chaos.
Currently, I have a lot of coals in the fire: Army of the
Dead for LOTR, Bretonnian Knights Errant for a new Warhammer
army, and a unit of Slaanesh Chaos Warriors for a work project.
A little variety helps to liven up my painting time, and sometimes
I'll learn new techniques or come across a neat colour combination
when working on one type of model that I can apply to other
projects.

Er, none (at the moment)...though I am determined to put together
a new Imperial Guard army for Epic: Armageddon. I haven't
had an Epic army in the last 5 years, even though it was one
of the games I played the most in my misspent youth.
I managed to get Inquisitor Lord Karamazov on the Throne of
Judgment a bit before the release date. It's probably the
coolest thing to come out of the 40K universe since the Space
Marine. I figured it'd be a simple little project boy,
was I wrong. The model has a crippling amount of detail. It'll
look great in the end, but it's gonna take some time! Outside
of this, I've been toying with firin' up the old painting
factory and churning out a whole bunch of Horrors and Flamers.
They'd be part of a Tzeentch Daemon Army for the whole upcoming
Storm of Chaos thing. I've always wanted to paint a Tzeentch
army, and I guess now's the perfect time.
Well,
I've got a few models on my desk right now, including one
of the brand new Chaos Warriors (which really look great).
He's getting close to being finished. I also have an armoured
Mordor Troll. That model rocks! I like painting the bigger
models for some reason. I covered this Troll with scratch-built
arrows. Since Ken and I have been working on the Denizens
of the Deep campaign setting, I've gotten a bug to paint up
500 points (Warhammer in a Flash) of Skaven from Clan Skryre
(I like their techno-arcane style). I'll be interested to
see how far I get!

Wouldn't you like to know? Actually, working on a WFB Dwarf
Slayer army and after that a 40K Adeptus Mechanicus Honor
Guard Army of Lord Fabricator General Buyaki. Basically, I'm
making up my own units, rules, and the like to fit the insane
techno-gothic cult look I'm trying to achieve.
Epic Orks (a Great Gargant, some Landas, Stompas, and Soopa
Guns), BFG Ork ships (two Battleships and doing more on my
Kroozers), and 40K Imperial Guard (Mordians, just converting
up some Ogryns).

I am painting a Dark Angels Space Marine army for some upcoming
tournaments, a staff campaign, and a citywide campaign. I
am also painting a Mordor Orc warhost for the War of The Ring
Regional Campaign. Finally, I have started a Ostland Empire
army to be completed by June for the Storm of Chaos.
Currently,
I'm painting a Vampire Counts army, though it has no Vampires
in it, only Necromancers. Lots and LOTS of Skellies and Zombies
to paint, and more to paint so I can raise new units of them!
I'm painting a Chaos Mortals army. Right now, I'm working
on Chaos Hounds.
Currently,
I'm working hard on a World Eaters army for a team tournament
I and a few coworkers are playing in. I'm also trying to add
more units to my Conquistador-themed Lustrian Expedition Company
for the Empire and my Alaitoc "Wood Eldar." Now
if they only would win some games! I can't wait to jump into
a Guard army now there's some stamina painting.
Playin' with Bretonnian warband and re-basing all of my Dwarfs
for the Denizens of the Deep. Doing some final touches on
my Trollslayers for said campaign (and Storm of Chaos!).

As I mentioned before, I am working on a lot of LOTR stuff
at the moment. I just finished painting Sharku which neatly
finishes my White Hand of Isengard army. Now I am about to
start painting a Cave Troll and some Moria Goblins for a small
War Host I am planning. That's if I don't get distracted by
other shiny objects, as I have an Imperial Guard and Tau army
in progress at the moment as well.
My
ever-growing Undead Horde, Necrons, Beastmen, and Chaos Space
Marines (which I have been waiting 7 years for). I would like
to create a nocturnal Wood Elf army. Oh yeah, terrain, terrain,
terrain (with some scenery thrown in, too).
I've
been doing a lot of Napoleonics (apparently some historical
period - Ed.), but I have been eyeing a new Bretonnian
army. I was a bit put-off by how great the army book looks,
but maybe if I did a ragtag army that has just been at battle,
I can disguise my painting flaws with dust, grime, and gore.
You know, split shields and a real campaigning look to 'em.
One look at the army and you'd know the story.
