Army Painters 2017 (AP 2017) - Compiled List of Projects

[Vanvlak]

I'm debating on what I want to do- I really ought to do a 40K army (I have several on the burner- Adeptus Arbites, Imperial Navy, Genesteal Cult, and Sisters of Battle) but I traditionally knock out a faction of my long-running Darkest Africa project.

I'm curious to see what you'd use for Arbites or Navy - although Darkest Africa is a splendid choice too.

Can i rehash my failed AP2016 attempt if i just alter the title?

I'd say go for it.

I didn't even manage to put brush to figure for mine last year...    But I will do my best this year.  Luckily, the new Game Of Thrones season starts in July, so I will have a ready source of inspiration should I choose to revisit that project for this year's entry.

I'm in. I need to get my joy of painting/gaming back and I think I will be able to put some stuff together.

Just need to decide on a project. I have Fantasy Dwarfs, Darkest Africa and lots of other stuff... what do I really want to do?

Maybe something Lost World themed where I can use Darkest Africa stuff, Dinos, Cavemen, VSF elements and all sorts of crazy stuff

Exactly my plan! I think I'll just do a thread in Pulp instead, as I cant keep to a timetable to save my life...

Do it, and I'll watch eagerly!

If it's still possible to join, I'd like to. Need to get some things sorted. Theme to be announced later. First goal is end of July (I hope)?

I made the foolish decision to start six ACW units for Sharp Practice at the same time (do all the he flesh tones at once, it'll save time. Or drive you mad!). I didn't actually even get any photos up. I'm on with BLAM stuff now and I have a house move too, but perhaps after that.

[Just John]

I've too many projects started and not finished and maybe this will provide the inspiration/kick up the ass I need. I just have to decide on whether to work on WW2 Russians, Dark Age Vikings or a sci-fi project.

[Silent Invader]

Hmmm

I'm tempted to join to progress my GOT project. Loads of figures assembled but have stalled on painting.

I find I'm the opposite. I'll probably fail spectacularly in this whole AP thing, but I find that if don't have the pressure of a timetable I'm much less likely to get anything done than if there is no deadline at all. Without a deadline it's so easy to just keep putting it off. Ah, I'll do it tomorrow...



I am saying "I'll do it tomorrow" at the minute though, because right now here in Blighty (a country that generally has no air-conditioning, because who needs that junk in a country where it's cool and wet 90% of the time?), it's just too bloody hot to paint.

I'm in! 6 months, 6 units for Muskets & Tomahawks, can be done

Yes, the first post with painted minis should be around August 1st, give or take a few days

[Plynkes]

Oh shit. I thought that was when we were supposed to start painting. 

[LeadAsbestos]

The first month is always the easy one...
