Hi there all.
Well, I may be right when I say this has been done before, but I would like to share my collection of rare and out of production (oop) Games Workshop and other models with everyone. As I get each model painted to the best of my abilities, I will post them up on my blog space.
I have many models to go through. A few of them are already painted, so once I get pictures of them, I will post them up!
A little about me.
I started collecting Games Workshops models sometime around September 1995 - with issue 189 and 190. I started off with a box of Space Marines and a couple of Tyranid Warriors. It took off from there.
Although it has taken me a long time to improve, and there are many painters out there who make me look like a beginner, my painting skills are fairly good. I have just started an Ork army, and one member of staff at a GW store said it was the best he's seen in a long time.
My only problem is that I just can't batch paint. I have tried and tried, but it is something that totally eludes me, so this makes it very time consuming to get a horde/swarm army like my 16,000 point Tyranid Hive fleet or my 2,800 point Ork Warband done.
I only work part time, but because I look after my father, who is long term ill, I don't really get a lot of time to just sit and paint, whatever he thinks.
Because I am a modeller, and stay indoors all the time to do my hobby (as mentioned, when I can) it means I am still very single, and I have little interest in the outside world in general - although a girlfriend would be nice! As long as she likes cats and GW and doesn't smoke.
Lastly, I am an avid Ebayer, and at the moment I have bid on and won a large amount of Rogue Trader models, which I will be painting up as soon as possible.
So, that is enough about me. I will now start painting models, and I look forward to your comments and suggestions.

Oh, and linked to you!
Cheers!
what is batch paining
Batch painting is where you do 5 or 10 at a time. You paint one area on each model. Then you do another area on each model, and so on and so forth. Then when all the models are painted, you do the same with the more detailed work. This allows you to paint models quicker, as you are only using one colour at a time - and mixed paints will be the same shade on each model.
And half-painted minis are better than black/grey/white blobs too...
