December Vows - Final Tally

So, just a couple posts back I laid out my December vow for what to do. It was a lofty goal, and as I thought... I reached to high. Didn't even come close to finishing what I wanted to do. But with the Holidays, and kids, etc., there was a lot of distractions. If you want to see what all I intended to do, you can go look at the old post, but here's what I did accomplish this month:

Assemble:
1 Plague Furnace
10 Stormvermin
30 Plague Monks
5 DE Warlocks
4 Giant Rats
5 DE Dark Riders
1 DE Bloodwrack Shrine
10 DE Witch Elves
1 DE Scourgerunner Chariot
1 DE Kharibdyss
1 DE War Hydra

Paint:
21 Stormvermin
18 Clanrats

Base:
1 Stormvermins) -
1 Giant Rat

Truth be told, the only reason those two got based was as experiments on what I wanted to do with them. I have a mix of minis that have the bases sanded and then primed, and many that were primed and painted before the bases were sanded. So I was testing if I wanted to sand then hit it with the matte spray to lock it down before painting and dry brushing it, or if I wanted to sand it then Quickshade the model and let the varnish lock down the sand and color it.

All in all, I still got a lot done. January will be furious with model building as I am starting a 40K Escalation League in February, doing Minotaurs Space Marines. So at the very least, I need to get two Tac Squads, two Rhinos, a Razorback, and a Command Squad built for February, and preferably painted as well. 26 models and 3 vehicles should be doable.
