Hey guys, just back from a 10 day holiday and looking forward to returning to painting.
Today I thought I would show a few of the Khorne Daemonkin models I have been working on. The intention was to gather a small army for myself that I could use in play. But sadly I don’t know if I can do this as from just doing a few test models it’s taking a lot longer than I have time available. That’s the thing about being a commission painter in that I judge everything by time and when I paint for myself its time taken from when I should be painting for others. So sadly I think the Khorne Daemonkin army is not going to happen and will have to be put to one side. Anyway on a more positive note I do have a almost complete Necron army that I was painting for myself last year. And for that army I only need to finish a couple of units to make it playable. So hopefully if I get the time I will finish it off. What do you guys think? Have you started painting armies and then realised you just don’t have the time to paint them?

Pretty much describes my life, I think. Never actually finished my Eldar, bought the first piece 20 years ago. Still enjoy painting, though.
Totally understand the direction you are coming from. I bought up a rather large Imperial Guard army and have had it sitting half unpainted for almost 2 years now. With work, kids and other commitments I seldom find time to paint. Its a shame really as I would love to have more time.
What you have done so far though looks really nice, but I can imagine as a commission painter it cant be that much fun painting for yourself.
yeah correct, it's not much fun. In theory I like the idea of painting for myself. But when it comes to the action I always feel guilty that I should be painting for someone else rather than myself. In some ways I feel more relaxed painting for others than myself. Kind of odd really 🙂
