December did not present the spare time I was hoping it was going to. I only got to paint four Predator models and those were quite quick paint jobs to get them ready for a game of AvP.

Over the whole of 2016, I purchased 99 new figures and painted a total of 239.
My new job is playing havoc with my hobby. Three weeks in to the new venture and I have very little time after work to paint a thing. November was pretty bad, all I managed to do was paint an old dragon and a couple of small terrain bits.
I guess as my Astropolis Kickstarter arrived, they count as purchases for November.
Christmas is coming, maybe I will get a bit of downtime to paint some stuff, then again…

October was a huge improvement over September, but lets face it, it could not have been worse, I could not have painted less than zero models.
What I did manage was 5 Dust Axis Ghosts and a small band of Ashigaru for Ronin. Phew!

September was another very poor month for painting as I was away again. I also managed to buy some more stuff for a few projects, mainly more models for the Steam Wars robot army, but also a rather nice Reaper Bones clockwork dragon that will get used in Dragon Rampant and Steam Wars.
Maybe October will be better for painting.

August has been a very poor month for painting as I have been away on holiday, but at least that means I could not buy anything new either. 
All I managed to paint was a Marcus proxy and six Sturmaffe Blutkreuz Pioniere Gorillas for my Dust Axis force. September is not going to be be much better.

July was not too bad as far as painting goes, it is meant to be summer and I usually paint less in the summer.
I did manager to paint Blood Reavers for Dragon Rampant, two plastic towers for various fantasy games, a fist full of Undead Legionnaires and Necromutants and six Axis Gorillas to finally get my Dust Axis army started.
I bought into the Tanks game, which has three tanks in it, not that I need more Shermans, but another Panther or Jagdpanther will be useful.

Not a bad month for output, managed a unit of Dryads and a unit of Sirens for a Treefolk warband for Dragon Rampant. I did not quite get the cavalry finished so they slip into July…

May turned out to be quite a good month for getting stuff painted. Three Ramshackle light tanks, some more British Infantry from EMP and Meridian Miniatures and plenty of Militia also from Meridian Miniatures.
I also built a nice big TT Combat warehouse, but that did not need any painting, not yet anyway.

April is a month when the purchases take a bit of a leap at Salute. This year I managed to keep the volume quite low but still bought models for a Dragon Rampant army and a new steampunk army.
I did manage to paint quite a few models, including a whole 6mm army for Horizon wars, Rhino and The Hammers for Dust, a couple of vehicles for Steam Wars and a few giants for Dragon Rampant.

March was a good month, I painted all the Scrunts I bought in February and finished off the Sedition Wars character models. I also managed to get a couple of Dark Legion models finished and 10 steampunk Automotans. In April of course is Salute and I expect to buy a few new treats.
