The Pledge - September 2008

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

Bought (44)
-2 Battletech (Hatchetman, Shadowhawk)
-3 GW Empire (Teutogen Guard Command)
-1 GW Dark Elf (Assassin)
-1 GW Goblin Squig Hopper
-1 GW Night Goblin Shaman
-1 GW Grey Knight Terminator (oooold)
-1 GW Space Marine Dreadnought (Black Reach)

-13 GW Chaos Dwarf Hobgoblins (7 Wolfriders, 6 Bolthrowers with crew (2 sets))

SOLD (12)

Primered (44)

Painting Progress (42)
(the 15mm Saxons once again got attention, but none of them reached completion this month. Harumph Harumph!)

Finished (7)
-1 GW Goblin Squig Hopper
-2 Battletech (Demolisher II, Firestarter)
-2 Hordes Trollbloods (Grissel, Fell Caller)
-1 Reaper Half-Ogre Barbarian
-1 Rackham Wolfen

This brings the YTD numbers to
Net Growth: +479
Painted: 270

479 growth/274 days = 1.748 minis per day.
270 painted/479 bought = 56.4% of growth painted.

This remains behind the purchase goal (<1.5 per day) and is still barely ahead of the painting goal (>50% painted). The purchase ratio is improved from last month, however.

Existing project progress was again limited. Warmachine and Battletech saw a couple miniatures completed, while the FoW project moved forward "in progress". Nothing else moved.

The 15mm WAB project MUST continue to dominate the "working on" numbers next month (as they did this month, being 24 of the "Progress" minis), or they'll be hauting me into next year…

The convention at the beginning of September accounted for almost two thirds of September's purchase total. Not counted are a few goblinoids that were either passed along to others immediately or are already on the pile for the next flea market.
