Who started a new army this year and how is it going?

[Aeryenn]

How is it going? Bad and it's getting worse. Last year I bought DoK and Soulblight Gravelords. Both untouched. This year I started Tau, Aeldari and Adeptus Mechanicus. I have some progress with Tau though.

Fairly well, after painting up 3.5k so far of Soulblight and going to a tournament I felt like I needed something really different and so far my Slaanesh has been going great.

Despite this I've only painted Vasiliac from the shadespire warband, and found myself taking as much time with him as possible. The lurid colours and different hues of the army is a very exciting thing after the mouldy gravelords. I had a 1k point game too and really enjoyed the more fragile / summoning based playstyle.

I seem to have way too many seahorse mounts to paint however, I underestimated how many there'd be, they're everywhere. On chariots, on archer cav, on daemonette cav, on man with whips cav. 

I'm hoping by the time they're more painted up I get a juicy BoC-esque white dwarf update and some point changes. One can hope!

I should have some paints arriving tomorrow or Tuesday, but I have almost finished assembling my SBGL force. Just 10 skellies and 5 blood knights to go. I'm keen to give black primer a go for the skeletons, given they have a lot more armour and less exposed bone.

My Aeldari have good progress. The new starterbox is almost painted

Concerning  AoS: I‘ve started to finish models that I left half painted (most of my models are half-way finished xD)
