May 09 Update

I have nearly achieved completeness with my Black Templars. And by that I mean I have painted and based enough models to field 4000 points for Apocalypse.

This does not mean that I don't still have a basement full of models waiting to be built/painted.

Still left undone:

Vindicator- unopened.
Titanhammer Squads (Thunderhammer Terminators)- mostly bitz in a bag. Build and paint.
LR Crusader/Redeemer- Unbuilt. Still no rules for Redeemer for Templars, so will likely hold off for a while yet.
3 Drop Pods- Unbuilt (and one failed attempt that is likely destined to become terrain).
Various misc. Marine bodies at various stages of completion. May leave the unpainted one alone in case I decide to do a squad for a different chapter.
10 Neophytes on sprue.
Thunderfire Cannon- unopened and may remain so until it become legal for Templars.
Helbrecht and Grimaldus- prepped and filed. Likely my next casual projects.

And that's where I stand. Not too horrible, really.

The bad news is I've caught the Hordes bug. I'm starting a Circle of Orobos army and I have Kromac the Ravenous staring me down, demanding paint. I'm not sure how long I can hold out. In fact, I just failed my save talking about it. I'm off to paint some fur for a chance. :D
