Ok, with new year commenced it is the perfect time to make some resolutions. So, my new year resolution is - paint more !!!
Again? yeah, again. This time I didn't make my resolution very detailed. I haven't chosen any day to be my painting-day, specified minimum number of minis to paint etc. Will this help? I don't know, we'll check it out in December.
That's the basis of my painting plans for 2009. Move as many minis from my Hall of Shame..

to my Hall of Fame...

Hall of Shame is ofcourse incomplete, I've just picked a bunch from my paint station
First of all I want to finish minis that I've already started, including some that I promised to paint for my friends. As quick as possible - even with loss in quality.
Furthermore, I want to continue with my quest to paint minis from different companies. These will be for my own collection.
I will paint single minis, but I have some plans to start few bigger projects.

Anything else? Sure, I wanna get 8.0 on CMON and place in some painting competition
Keep your fingers crossed, I'm going to my paint station

Wow, you have more painted miniatures than I! Geee... I so jealous...
Keep us updating I have also my new year resolutions. But I will leave it for my own topic.

You will hit 8.0 at CMON very soon. I`m sure of that
Keep going Nameless!

and I just wanted to write your hall is nothing compared to mine!

It's alright for you... my hall of shame is my entire mini collection

Good luck with your resolution.

Looking at the Hall of Fame I am surprised you ask for an 8 on CMON, while looking at the HoS I feel you so close...as it is very similar to mine...
Keep on going and I wish you a year full of 8 and 9 on CMON, as it also means that you will have painted a lot of minitures, for us to be happy viewers.
cheers
Doc

You look so close, I can almost taste it!!! Oh wait aminute, that is old stale paint I taste. J/K!!

I really do think this will be your year nameless!!!

thank you all, hope to post some finished stuff as soon as possible

so, after one month of painting different minis I have finally finished mini no. 1/2009.
This is my entry for the round 1 of the Iron Painter contest. IP contest has some harsh time frames (2 weeks to paint a mini), and I'm really satisfied that I have met the deadline. I called this The Death Is Coming, it is of course GW Nightbringer.

CMON this way

I think you could add blue/purple glaze on the base - in the shadows for example, that would unify whole work

You are making a great progress Phil. I wish you luck with the contest.
