Happy New Year!

I went into 2013 with a lot of goals, one of which was to paint more. I hit January pretty hard and completely my Space Wolves half way through. The Monthly Painting Challenge kept me motivated throughout the year and gave me a short term goal to reach for. I gave each army about 3 months of my time to keep things interesting. Even the table and some of the terrain were completed this year.

My Eldar got the short end of the stick and I only have completed that small batch after I lost some motivation around Thanksgiving and my school workload increased heavily due to a capstone class (another goal of 2013 - Get my Master's degree; which i'm currently 93% completed!). However, I have a whole load of Eldar more than half finished which I will complete before jumping back to Tyranids for their new codex (So excited!)

September Painting Challenge - Lord Bolton's sworn Dark Eldar

Looks like I forgot to post my September Painting challenge!

Reddit Painting Challenge - September - Lord Bolton's Dark Eldar

I normally devote 3 months to a given army and this is month 3 for Dark Eldar. Though that is not to say they are completed just that their current cycle is completed (I have several more vehicles, 40 or so wyches, 20 or so warriors, and a ton of other stuff still left to touch...maybe sometime in 2014).

August Painting Challenge - Lord Bolton's sworn Dark Eldar

August's painting challenge is complete!

This months challenge was:
18 Dark Eldar Warriors
5 Scourges
3 Jetbikes
Urien Rakarth

Find a link to my reddit post here!

More flayed skin! Next month will most likely include vehicles exclusively.

July Painting Challenge! Tyranids and Lord Bolton's sworn Dark Eldar

This month, I pledged to paint:
1 Homunculus
2 Venoms
10 Dark Eldar Warriors
I'll also finish up the last of my Tyranids which all only need one more highlight of green:
1 Trygon
1 Biovore
2 Tervigons
3 Hive guard
32 Termagaunts

I finished my pledge but also got a ravager and razorwing done as well!

The Flayed man. Lord Bolton's banner from Game of Thrones. This is my first time attempting freehand and i'm quite proud of my first attempt.

First time working with green stuff. They turned alright I guess, but there is a lot of room for improvement.

Any exposed skin I painted in this project (the Haemi and one of the warriors) i painted as if they were flayed. The white on his head is his exposed skull. It's a really bad picture regardless but it don't really pick it up to well unfortunately..

Tryanids! The last remaining models from my initial pledge in May and the ones I tacked on in June.

Welcome to Goodbeary, home of the Goodbeary

This blog will be utilized to hold a variety of my Warhammer 40k lists of various sizes as well as notes as to why I chose what I did! I may also include in this blog such things as  reviewing other army lists, codices, Pathfinder/D&D musings, hobby related progress, and whatever else I feel compelled to post.

This blog is going to be used mostly for my own use as a place to keep track of my thoughts and so that I have easy access to my lists and ideas. I certainly welcome any comments that are related to the topics at hand.

I have been involved in the hobby for about 8 years. I have a large assortment of models and several armies (either built, semi-built, or completely unbuilt) ranging from Chaos Space Marines, Tyranids, Space Wolves, Death Korp of Krieg, Dark Eldar, and Necrons. I have some Fantasy armies as well, but they are all nearly unbuilt. Most of the lists I will be making will be focused on these armies, but I may make lists for other armies as well.

For each list, I will rate in on the Goodbeary scale. Ranging from 1 (for a rotten ass Goodbeary) to 10 (A Goodbeary filled with flavor and badass bearyness). This will help gauge my happiness with a particular list.
