Bad pic, but my painting table is occupied with a project that cannot be moved right now. Anyway, they're not sealed, but are otherwise done:
That's 14 for this month, and 24 points total. It's not impressive by certain "Wall of Done" standards, but it is progress of a sort.

He lives!
I'll post something more later today, but (1) yes, I am still here; and (2) I actually finished a couple more figures this month. It was a close thing, although the extra day of February did not save me, since I finished them last night, not today. (Technically, even - it was still before midnight.)
So, total model count for the month will be 2, which is a slight gain on my pile of unpainted lead, since I only picked up one model for the month (Kara Sloan).

PIcs, but no painting
Been sick the last couple of days. I have tried to paint, but gotten very little done. And, since I have been kind of fuzzy-headed (more so than normal, anyway), I have not been super-dilligent whern it comes to sticking to only one faction - thus, I have done a little work on a Dire Troll Mauler, a bit of Menoth, and some assembly work on Khador. None of those are Circle, are they?
Anyway, I hope to get the basic Circle battle pack done by the end of the month. If I am able to paint over the three day weekend, it might actually happen.

Sorry about the quiet
Been busy lately, and not much of it painting. Friday was date night with my wife, which pretty much prevented doing anything gaming related. Saturday was for launching some model rockets with my son (for his science project), and then heading over to my FLGS for the last week of our Journeyman league. After hanging out there for a while (and losing another game - although my Circle did better, my Lord of the Feast managed to kill not a single model - and yes, he was going after beast handlers, who should have died), I did not do any painting or anything that night.
Yesterday was a hike with the Cub Scout den, and then off to finish launching the rockets. (Basic concept is: Take the same rocket. Put different size motors in it, see how high it goes. Not too bad for 2nd grade.) Got that done in time for dinner, then by the time I was done getting the kids to bed and doing my run, I just did not want to paint.
Heading down to the basement in a few. I'll take the camera, and if I actually do any painting, I'll take some pics. I hope to get a Feral Warpwolf and a couple of Argi done this month - and possibly with enough time to spare to work on some other things. I don't want my 5 pts/month to always be beasts or jacks.

Random accomplishments
Between last night, and just now, I managed to get the following done:
Feral Warpwolf assembled, green-stuffed, and primed
(Plastic) Khador Decimator assembled and primed (I was going to magnetize this one, but I made a slip when working on the heads, and decided to just glue the whole thing. I'll probably do the same for a Marauder, and then make at least one plastic Khador omni-jack.)
Protectorate Devout primed
Menoth omni-jack - everything but the heads are magnetized. Should finish this tonight.
I also got some painting done - worked on some druids, the argi (arguses? whatever), did some work on a couple of wolds, and probably some other stuff that I don't recall right now.
And, I have pretty much finalized a trade that (1) finally gets me Shae and some Talion charter forces, and will bring the wishlist to under 1300 figures. My goal is to get the whole wishlist under the 1000 mark by the end of the year, but that may be a little optimistic, what with the new expansion and all.

Wishlist (part III)
So, yesteday, I posted a "Master Wishlist" - basically, it's a list of everything that I want to get, sooner or later, and I think it is current though Wrath and Domination. (The new for Warmachine this summer will undoubtedly add to it, of course. Like, one of everything, and full units when possible.)
The list, of course, is unrealistic, and I am well aware of it. I'd love to actually have everything on it, but it's probably not going to happen, unless my lottery investment plan pays off. (Unlikely, since I don't buy tickets - the lottery is a tax on people who are bad at math.) But, it does give me goals, in the vaguest sense of the word.
The list is also not entirely correct. After all, under eButcher, Doom Reavers are FA:U, but I only have two units on there. And, I probably will not have a plastic Feral, Pureblood and Stalker - that's why magnets exist, after all. And there are units missing, because I already have one, and while I could use another, they probably would not see regular play. (On the other hand, "regular play" should never be a criteria - I play so many different things, it may be months before a model is played again.)
Still, my goal for the year is not just to hit 50 points for every faction, contract and pact, but to also make a serious dent in that wishlist. I also plan to treble my collection of painted figs, but that's not nearly so impressive.
And, on that note - it's time for me to go and paint something.

Holy wishlist, Batman!
I finally got around to making the inverse of my collection - the Wishlist. It won't take everything to the theoretical maximum (eg - not only does it not list an infinite number of 'jacks, I really do not want another unit of Retribution Halberdiers right now), but it does a decent job of covering jacks that I do not yet have, and units that I want to get. If a unit is in there, I maxed it out, and I also included figs where I still need a couple to hit the maximum unit size.
It's not as bad as it could be, I guess. A mere 1318 figures (from the last iBodger update) and I would be happy. Since I only have 722 figs, it does represent a near-trebling of what I currently have. While I won't catch up anytime soon, I hope to keep that 1:2 ratio for the rest of the year (curse you, new releases!), and possibly even catch up a bit.
To that end, I might be dumping off my Tau when the (rumored) 6th edition of 40k comes out. I have heard that Tau do quite well under the new rules, so my Tau army will (hopefully) command a high trade value. It's a good-sized force - lots of crisis suits, six devilfish, three hammerheads, plenty of fire warriors. With any luck, and some patience, I should be able to really cut into the wishlist.

Stripping
Miniatures, that is. I have had a unit of Gun Mages soaking in PineSol for so long that I had pretty much forgotten about them. I found them tonight when I was looking for my other Devout.* (Yes, I was putting off painting Circle - I still worked on the unit of Druids, and my Feral now just needs some greenstuff work before priming.) Anyway, they had been in there that the bases had gotten pretty soft - no big deal, but I may have to replace those.
But some of the paint still won't come off. I'm wondering what kind of paint is was - an enamel, perhaps? It would not be the first time that I have gotten used figs that were coated in an oil-based paint. I got most of it off - they are soaking in water now to get any lingering PineSol off them, and I'll see if they are clean enough for priming tomorrow.
I did not get everything done tonight that I wanted too - I kept breaking away to watch commercials. I could generally listen to the game and figure out what was going on without watching it, but I wound up paying more attention to the commercials anyway. Hopefully I won't have as many distractions tomorrow night.
* Mainly because I was writing a wish list, and I had a Menoth army that I was theory-machining. It mainly invovles stuff where I have the cards, but not the models. I may proxy it a few times before buying everything, because Fire of Salvation is a pricey model.

Back to losing again
No pics, sorry.
Got two games in yesterday. The first was a 35-pt, battlebox required, but 'caster swap allowed, journeyman league game. I was running Durgen, the battlebox 'jacks, Thor (and a marshalled Basher), a min unit of High Shields with the UA, and a full unit of Ogrun Assault Corps.
It wasn't even close. I had some bad die rolls, and some bad placement, and I just could not crack the Xersis + Cetrati + Arcuri brick. Gorten would have done better, I think - heck, he could not have done any worse. I really wanted to try Madhammer, however, since I have only used him once or twice so far, and I want to figure him out.
Lost the second game as well. I am painting Circle this month, so I wanted to play at least a couple of games with them. I ran the battlebox, a Pureblood, Druids, Stoneward & Woldstalkers, and Shifting Stones.
Again, I placed badly, but Circle is fast enough that I could undo some of that, but my Legion opponent was into the killbox well before I was, so I was caught in one corner, with limited maneuvering room. I did not do as poorly as in the other battle - I killed a few things, but in the end, the only way I could win was to attempt an assasination run on eThag, which did not end well.
I definitely need to play Circle more, but I won't get in as many games this month as I would like. March should give me a lot more games, and I won't feel restricted to only one faction, like I (generally) have been for the Journeyman league. I probably will bring 2-3 armies with me each week, and then either let my opponent choose which they want to face, or dice between them or something. A couple of the guys at my FLGS are wanting to go play in some tourneys at GenCon, so they really want to play against as many different casters and factions as possible. Fortunately for them, my factional ADD will let me oblige them there.

Tinkering
Nothing to do with gaming, per se, but I think I need to do some tinkering with the blog layout, and get away from a default background. I think I may even need a cartoonish logo as well. Just because working on this will distract me and wallet from the siren song of colossals.
Colossals!
I'll post more on this later, but they're coming this summer. Looks like I should just give PP the routing number for my bank account now.

Just in case I don't do anything else. . .
If I don't manage to do anything else today (and I do intend to get back down to the basement to paint later tonight - got some podcasts to start catching up on as well), I primed pKaya, Moshar, and eHexeris a few minutes. Okay, eHexy is Skorne, but he had been sitting on the bench, waiting for priming for a few days, so adding him to the mix wasn't exactly a huge time investment.
For various and sundry reasons, I don't think that I have bought anything yet this year (although I had some purchases at the tail end of last year), so, for the time being, I am actually gaining ground. I have one order that is (hopefully) on the way, which will set me back, and I am putting together another order for the near future. I'm fine with two minis painted, fifteen purchased.

February target
Well, I haven't taken any pics yet, but after looking around in my painting queue, I chose my faction for February - Circle. I figure that I have at least a couple of wolds that are pretty far along, but I should be able to finish more than just that.
On tap for tonight - I want to get some of the battlebox figs assembled, so they can be primed. I'll probably try and do a little work on the Arguses (Argi?) as well. I don't have a color palette chosen yet - I will probably theme things along either Baldur or Moshar, so greys or tans, most likely.
