Got the spanish allied cavalry done for Carthago, and the equites and Scipio for the romans.

Spanish:





Romans:





So: adding 37 to the model count: 255 models finished


this completely finishes the Carthago part of my punic wars project








so i can scratch one from the projects list:

1) epic orcs
2)epic space marines
3)undead pirate warband
4)warhammer fantasy orcs and goblins
5)  warhammer fantasy undead
6)  LOTR goblins
7) LOTR numenor
8 ) LOTR high elves
9)  40k imperial guard
10) 40k dark angels (dark vengeance starter set)
11) 40k chaos (dark vengeance starter set)
12) mice and mystics/reaper mouselings (prepped and mounted to bases)
13)D&D legend of drizzt game (1/8th done)
14) D&D temple of elemental evil game (1/10th done)
15)D&D tomb of annihilation game
16) d&d mad mage game
17)napoleonic British/Hanoverians
18)napoleonic French
19)pendraken zombies and survivors (cleaned and prepped and mounted to bases)
20) republican rome (slingers done, velites undercoated)
21)carthago


and the tally (adding recent purchases): About 5375 models are painted and 2241 models are still waiting for love.

Normally, next up should be the roman infantry, but might make a detour and get some 28 mm painted just to keep it fresh!

Less than a month ago you said these would be a while as you hate painting cavalry
Good to see them done

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Very nice, and good to see the numbers moving too.

[petercooman]

Thanks all!

The fact that these were the last of the army made me do the cavalry faster 

Now all that is left in the cavalry departement are 6 units of 28 mm napoleonic cavalry. For the french 1x lancers, 1x chasseurs a cheval, 1x cuirassiers, for the british: 2x dragoons for the union  brigade, 1x hussars.

Will be a while before i start those though, planning on painting my undead pirates after i do the romans. Or maybe do the pirates first

Very nice work, Peter !

Got a delivery from mantic on friday, so this meant painting up some more walking dead! I did them in a quick and dirty cartoon style, like my other walking dead stuff. No need to be clean, it's post apoc anyway!

2019 event exclusive Chris the hunter and objective markers



my favourite team, Rosita, Abraham and Eugene



Negan



Blaine for deadzone



and i also finished some chronoscope models from reaper, that were taking up space on the painting tray




So: adding 12 to the model count: 267 models finished


and the tally (adding my mantic order): About 5387 models are painted and 2237 models are still waiting for love.

Nice looking minis!
You paint much faster(and better) than I do.

[petercooman]

Thanks all!

Nice looking minis!

It's a personal choice, i decided to take my overall quality down a bit, and get faster results. I don't want to be sitting on a heap of unpainted minis for decades 

[FierceKitty]

A painful decision to have to make.

[paulr]

Still producing really good looking figures so well worth it to get them on the table

[petercooman]

A painful decision to have to make.

It really isn't!

if you look at the numbers:

2017:1000 models painted
2018:767 models painted
2019: 267 models painted

That's over 2000 and well worth a drop in quality!
