Back from lovely holi-bobs (apart from the place we were staying was a down market version of Stalag-Luft 17)!
Realised I'm in a horrible situation, and I know a lot of people are worse off (and this does not include unstarted stuff in the lead mountain), but there is an awful lot I have started this summer and not yet finished!
Including (but not in order of priority)

1) Two units of Polish Pike and Shot 100 figures
2) A unit of LOA Anglo-Dutch Danes to ink the base and paint, flock, tuft and flag! 50 figures
3) Another LOA Anglo-Dutch Danes unit that also needs flags. Easy to do at the same time as the other unit...
4) Four Mongol bases that need inking, painting and flocking and flags adding. 16 figures
5) Two units of Mongol heavy cavalry that have been converted and need assembly. 14 extra heavies plus 16 heavies.
6) Ten stands of Barbarians that are base coated and inked and need highlighting. c.70 figures
7) Four stands of assembled and undercoated Goblins c30 figures
8 )Thirty-Six Samurai to get four units up to FOGR size, which just need armour lacing and back banners doing before basing.
NIGHTMARE!  :!! L-) :-& 8-} =O =O
To be honest the Poles will wait...
And all this before I can crack on with 32 Napoleonic 18mm French cavalry for a mate!

There are 100 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who can work from incomplete data

Unless you need any of them for an upcoming game pick the one that needs the least time/effort to finish and get it done, repeat :)

The challenge is to avoid starting anything else until they are all done ;)

I tend to finish stuff off up to flocking the bases, leave them until there's a decent batch that needs flocking, then have a mass-flocking session. It sort of encourages me to get a good quantity of painting done, then I "reward" myself with completing a load all at once.

Good job somebody finished the boat project because there seem to be an awful lot of us in it!

36 samurai are now in the 'almost done, just need mistakes sorting and then basing' stage!

Indeed Sir.  I'm despondent, and the wife is going to kill me for sure.

I actually said this to her yesterday: "Honey, I know, I know, I'm sorry.  But I've got a big project I HAVE to start next weekend, so this is going to be a rough week.  But I promise I'll take a break after this week."

Good grief...

V/R,
Jack

Having lashed everything 40k into a box and thumped it into the loft, my own list is relatively small :)
Well that went down like a lead baboon......
