I got something like 100 minis to paint. Need to assemble most still.
My painting just hit a snag as i noticed that i'm missing a Sentinel. Not sure if it never got delivered or if i've lost it otherwise. And the Clan Invasion KS kinda messed up my planned force organization, which messes up my painting...
I'm probably close to, if not at, 100 unpainted minis myself. I had bought two of the last Catalyst box set when they were going for like $25, so that's 48 minis I have unpainted. All I've done with a few of those is reposition some of the bad mech stances and put them on metal hex bases. And then I've got some old Ral Parthas assembled, on hex bases, and primed, but not yet painted. And somewhere I've got maybe half a dozen unassembled Ral Parthas still in their boxes (slightly obscure mechs, if I recall correctly, which is cool).
The last mechs I actually completed were probably done nearly 20 years ago. I have roughly a dozen mechs in two factions, the Kell Hounds and Clan Jade Falcon. Not sure why I went for a desert camo look for the Kell Hounds, but whatever. Hopefully I'll have better results whenever I get around to painting the mechs I have, as well as the ones I'll get from the Kickstarter next year.
I'm really, really tempted to put some money on the Clan Kickstarter although I will probably never play the game, just to get some 'mechs to paint.
My problem is all the 'mechs I would love to have are on separate lances XD (or the Clan core ala Mad Cat). Grumpf.
I'm sure you can find some people who would be willing to trade mechs, if you're into that kind of thing. Personally, I'm getting at least one of each lance/star pack, and possibly some doubles. There's a ton of value in certain Pledge Levels. For instance, with Star Colonel, you're essentially paying for the 12 lances (with salvage box)/stars and getting all the other stuff for free. I'm excited for some of the bonus stuff, like the Faction Pack and dice, for which we can choose some pretty obscure factions in BT lore.
