When I was getting ready to move to Portland, I discovered I had a very large batch of Dwarfs lying about...along the order of 2500 points. Not a very viable 2500, but still, a whole spare army. With some trades and begging, I've got enough Skull Pass Warriors and Thunderers to make a more balanced 3K list. The goal is simply to crank these out to an acceptable tabletop standard as they'll probably never see a tournament. So far the Warriors and Thunderers are averaging about 6 minutes each as I'm just slapping on a layer of color in between doing Daemon figs. Ideally this army will be done to 3K by March 1st. Here is the 3K list:
Lord
Runelord on Wheeled Anvil
BSB
30 Warriors
30 Warriors
30 Longbeards
10 Thunderers
10 Thunderers
10 Thunderers
Cannon
Bolt Thrower
Grudge Thrower
Gyrocopter
Beyond that I can add 3 more Cannons, 30 Slayers, and a variety of additional characters but for now, getting the above cranked out is the goal.

First 20 Warriors - These still have a unit filler and 2 more Warriors to get them to 30.  |

You've done in 6 minutes what would take me all day or longer to do.

I can speed paint when I set my mind to it. I just can't do it on anything that I think would ever see table at a tourney. It is nice to have something to just do a basic job on as a break from the focus required for the Daemons.

Unit filler. This plus two more Warriors gets my unit of 20 up to a unit of 30.  |

Cool stuff. I always love to see ways to get armies to the table faster.

Got a bit of a start on the next 10 Thunderers last night while greenstuffing Daemons. Got the flesh done, armor and axes done and base color green and purple done. Probably have this batch of 10 finished tomorrow night.

Next unit of 10 Thunderers should be finished and based tonight! One color left to do on the unit. Bases are already pumiced. Just have to prime and paint them, then pin the lil dudes on. Pics tomorrow night hopefully.
I need to order some GF9 trays for these guys soon! I've got two 5x2 for the Thunderer units but have to get some 5x6 for the Warriors.
Then on to the Anvil next as it's for the January Painting Challenge on TWF so it is getting done earlier than I planned.

Pics coming in the next couple of days...finished the cannon and ten more Warriors.
Still to do:
BSB
10 Warriors
10 Thunderers
Grudge Thrower
Gyrocopter
That will finish the initial 2500 point list of:
Lord
Runelord on Anvil
BSB
30 Warriors
30 Longbeards
20 Thunderers
10 Thunderers
1 Cannon
1 Grudge Thrower
1 Gyrocopter
Not sure how effective it will be and don't really care. What's important is that it's an extra, fully painted army and done in 4 months!

Ok, here is the Anvil. Have to retake the shots of the cannon and lord later as they turned out blurry. I haven't done the banners for it yet, but I do have a scan of them to print out and paint, just like back in the day...*L*  |

Pushing hard on the Dwarfs this week. Will have them to 2500 by Saturday for a tourney out here. GF9 trays arrived yesterday and they are pumiced and getting primer tonight.
Still to finish:
BSB
10 Thunderers
1 Cannon Crew (cannon is done)
Either 15 Miners or 2 Thanes - leaning toward Miners as long as I can get the Thunderers done tonight.
