The Pledge - June 2008

Not a bad month, but with a bit more slippage in the purchase goal. Painting continues to go well.

June numbers:
(Bought, sold, and primed numbers stand alone, while the progress and finished lists are mutually exclusive)

Bought (78)
-16 Battletech mechs and vehicles
-4 GW Mounted Daemonettes (metal)
-6 GW Savage Orcs
-1 GW Savage Orc Boar Boy
-5 GW plastic Gnoblars
-1 GW Ogryn Bonehead
-10 GW plastic Skeletons
-4 Warmachine Cryx
-11 Warmachine Mercs
-4 Hordes Trollbloods
-14 Gripping Beast "Swine"
-8 Megamini Traveller Newts

SOLD (18)

Primed (77)

Painting Progress (48)

Finished (42)
-8 GW Chaos Dwarfs
-8 Battletech
-17 GW Bretonnians
-2 Warmachine Cygnar (2 Defender Warjacks)
-6 Warmachine Cryx (6 Bile Thralls)
-1 Reaper Wereboar

This brings the YTD numbers to
Net Growth: +225
Painted: 165

225 growth/182 days = 1.236 minis per day.
165 painted/225 bought = 73.3% of growth painted.

Which is ahead of both Pledge goals (<1.5 per day, >50% painted), but slipping, at least on the purchase side…

Project progress was limited. Warmachine took another jump this month despite already passing the annual goal. The general WFB goal advanced a bit, but in a very scattered way. The Battletech project goal continues to go sideways, with expansion of the collection more than keeping up with the completed rate. Critical mass has been reached, for the most part, however.

I continue to want to put attention on the Warhammer and Dark Age goals, as well as Battletech. I suspect I will also add a bit more to the Warmachine finished collection, as there are still a couple things calling my name.
