Figuring Painting Total - August 2026

 I was able to get, and paint, the model in a month from Games Workshop (Warhammer).  It was a good practice for painting ork flesh.  I am pretty happy with the result, and hope to let this momentum carry me on to working on my orc Blood Bowl team that has been sitting on my paint table for the last two years. 

I also picked up a Risk game strictly with the idea of painting the figures for use in Osprey Napoleonic wargames.  However, I am not adding it to the bought list.

Bought 

GW - model in a month - Ork Boyz - 1

Painted 

GW - model in a month - Ork Boyz - 1

August total – 1 figure bought, 1 figure painted 

Running total 2026 – figures bought 158, figures painted 7
