This video definitely sliced my bread. Congrats on the last 12 months... and on the last 15 months!!! :-) wishin you all the best in the new year.

More than a model a day, that's impressive. I built and primed a few hundred, but only finished painting 4 models.

[jasontrinque]

I spent 664 hours painting over 301 days so far this year (~2hrs a day when everyone is asleep). I was able to finish 652 minis/terrain pieces, some of which I am proud of!

[Joshman]

I painted 81 models to completion this year, not bad for starting in September and working. Full time.

Went from paint noob to my first commission in the span of 3 months. The growth is super real. And you guys have ABSOLUTELY helped with all the tips and tricks videos and supportive community. Just tried making false snow for the first time off of one of your vids the other day and I love the outcome! 🖤

Keep being awesome guys

Your channel has really motivated me, I’ve managed a few hundred this year and found it therapeutic. Thanks for highlighting how awesome our community is and keeping me going when I’ve had those hobby burn out weeks, thank you Jay

[Silith]

I tend to paint 1 mini on Wednesdays. Sometimes a second one somewhere else in the week. I started on September 22nd this year and got 21 painted mini´s right now. Each taking 3 hours of painting take or less a few minutes. (Not counting basing, priming and assembly)

To me it's about quality and not quantity and I do want to play my blood bowl teams sometime in the future when the Games Workshops are allowed to run matches again.

I think I painted something like 120 models this year, which is more than ever for me. Painting along with you guys at night helped me progress a LOT. Thanks for being a constant source of inspiration.

439... I'm a car modeler and in 2021 I haven't even cut off, sanded, primed, painted or assembled that many pieces on all my models combined... :D

[chrissteadman]

Awesome! And inspirational - makes me want to get more done in 2022 than this year (226).

Try a different kind of storage. They don't all need to be on display. Maybe try drawers - I use metal stationary cabinets (but only because I got them very cheap from an office that was closing). Ikea do some very neat wooden storage cabinets.

Managed to paint 500pts of ad mech (40 ish models), 1 tau kill team (10 models).
50 in total. Honestly pretty happy with myself. Had my first 40k games this year.
Really enjoy how zen mode I get when I paint. Really happy to have found this hobby and its nice to have a creative outlet i didnt have prior to this

[johnhanley]

Cool - I've watched youtubers painting hundreds of models but I love Space Hulk for that very reason - low model count - quick gameplay and you can fit as many rounds in as your have time. God for you!!

[lemcrossview]

I'm a couple months late and don't have an exact count, but I painted up my clones from my Legion republic core set, a box of arc troopers, a box of specialists, a phase one upgrade box, two republic AT-RTs, a Sabre tank, and possibly my proudest paint job so far is my Captain Rex.

Your videos and others are what gave me the courage to sit down and put paint on models, taking risks and learning as I go. Thank you!

[ti-guylesbarniques]

I painted 373 W40K models in the past 8 months...not counting terrains AND around 300 D&D minis...

[TheDomfou]

Ah! Well done Jay. Well done. That retrospective video made me also look back to all the models that I have painted this year. I could achieve seven hundred model this year. I can thank multiple lock down for that amount of free time. We can all be proud of what we achieved!

[Dsabide]

I came back to the hobby in February, paintet about 200 models since then and now one of them made it to Jay's videos. A great finale to a good year :-) (hobbywise) Thank you!

[Global]

Recently returned to the hobby after many years away. Kill Team 2021 brought me back and I managed to get a Warp Coven, Death Guard, Grey knights, and Genestealer Cult teams painted for a total of 50 models. Looking forward to many more next year!

[bobderbaum]

Great job and expressive, how your skills can improve due to constant practice.

[TheBigFrasier]

Just got back into the hobby after about a years hiatus and decided to tackle my pile of shame. Didn't get an official count but I knocked out over 100 models since the end of October. All geared up to start a new Ork army in 2022!

[FrankieRogersArt]

I'm actually doing my own end of year video soon so I know the exact number of minis I've painted. I've painted 218 but by the time the video is done I think I'll be adding 3 to that.
You've done amazingly this year, I hope next year brings you more success, you deserve it!

[Xlavio]

Great Video, really impressive. I just spent 48hours to paint a full Necron army, the first time i owned a fully painted army since i started the hobby in 2018. Your Videos really motivated me to not spend 8h on a single Necron and just get it done. Feels great.
