I seem to be stuck in an endless cycle of assembling, priming and half-painting stuff! This photo is pretty embarrassing, showing most of the figures I have started this year. On the left, some recently assembled Tau. Front of centre, some Mierce Albain - intended for Saga Picts, Scots or Irish. At the rear, a couple of dwarf pieces. Then there's the part painted vikings and primed Lord of the Rings dwarfs. There's even a steampunk figure in there.
I am hoping to knuckle down and get some of these completed in the next few months. As I mentioned recently, one thing I want to do is learn how to use an airbrush, hence the Tau plastics. The Pirahna vehicle should prove a good testing ground, plus I might also be able to paint parts of the infantry with the airbrush. I have about three more squads of this size to put together. They are configured with an eye on the Gates of Antares rules - squads of eight, which includes a leader and a "big gun" upgrade, plus a drone/droid thingy. Before I get too carried away on that front, I want to finish the viking archers and paint the Picts. Too many figures!

I feel your pain. The arrival of several Kickstarter's (with oodles of miniatures) & my easily being distracted by the shiny syndrome, I often feel nothing moves forward. Add to that my slow speed of painting, I think by last count I would need another 7.5 lifetimes to complete them all.
Arrgghhhh it is Tau 40k !!!!!!!!
Maybe they are Tau, or maybe they are peacekeeping forces from the Antarean Trade Federation. Who knows?
What can I say? I'm happy to know I'm not the only one! :)
