Hmmm.. I'll try and be relatively brief. Bear in mind my only income at the moment is from painting so I'm generally working on a lot of stuff at once. I've completed over 400 Pieces since the New year. ?
Epic: Currently touching up some old Moles ready to sell.
Finally based my FW warhound titan after far too long spent trying to decide what to do with it. Also based my latest warlord titat, its drying as I type!
Also Working on a few very special conversions too, but they're Top secret (Keep quiet Doug..  ). Generally having a break from epic at the moment though until I'm back to 100% painting power (ie my hands stop shaking...)
Warhammer: My own savage Orc army is now 50% done. Next week I plan to finish off 60 Shields for a couple of regiments and make a start on the Giant.
Painting an Empire army to sell. Putting the finishing touches to 18 handgunners this weekend.
Also working on some of the new Lizards for commission/ebay. Salamander's done and sold, skink and Saurus regiments are under way.
Also got 2 dwarven regiments on the go as a comission for delivery next week.
For 40K:
My "Codex Grey" IG army is coming along. Collected enough pieces for 4 infantry squads and 2 command units. About half's been painted. Been converting command units in the last 4 days.
Working on another Howling Banshee exarch for fun/ebay. This is probably an equal favourite model of mine with Drazhaar (sp?) and I've wanted to do a second since I did my first one as seen on epic40k.com. I now have plans for at least two more also and possibly a squad of normal banshees. 
Misc:
Painting up a small 15mm undead force for AoFK though its only had the first coat so far.
Done a Blood Bowl Dwarf Deathroller to sell - cool model. Will be based today.
My Blood Bowl Dark elves are awaiting a decision from their styalists on what colour their hair should be. ten they'll be finished. And probably sold soon after so I'm delaying their completeion 
I've also painted 2000points of Rohan stuff for LoTR since Xmas, and I'm adding final highlights to hair etc. and painting a few extra characters for that, but its taken a back seat lately. A second Theodon is currently in theworks though, being done for competition and possibly Golden Demon if he turns out nice.
Finally, I have a few demo pieces I'm working on for various companies.
Think thats about it....... unles you want me to start listing scenery projects as well...... and of course inthe next few weeks this will all have changed anyway....

Well what am I doing. Well I recently aquired some old OOP epic blisters that I am going to sort out and paint. I got one mole blister, two temite blisters, four knights blisters and one knights errant blister. I'm planning on doing a knight household, but I wish there were some rules for them in Epic:A. Oh well.
As for the tunnelers, I think I'll do a Armageddon Tunneler Company. I think the transporters will be in the "classic" armageddon camo, and the tunnelers something different.
Tuffskull - If you havn't sold those Moles, I may be interested Drop me an e-mail telling me what you want for them.
Cheers
Chris

Cool, sounds good Chris... what I would do (and what it sounds like you are planning ? ) is something similar to what Carl Woodrow did with his Hellbore on Dropship, having the transporter camo, and the actual mole a more "Mechanicus object" style- sounding cool......
PS- Where did you get your old blisters from BTW?

-How many ships have you got so far Signius? ...and does anyone have any pictures of their stuff in progress? -Not me I'm afraid.. ..I want a digicam!!
I also just noticed when finding the Hellbore article on Dropship, that Carl has added the whole first section of his Steel Legion article, which some of you may not have seen.

I am currently doing all Epic projects, which consist of:
a) Building IG from scatch, which includes stripping down a whole heap of IG armour donated by Centurion (thanks again mate!), 4 old style plastic Warlords and the 25 sprues of infantry recently sent from the GW MO trolls
b) Finishing up the Flesh Tearers additions to my SM force
c) Building my chaos army (again from scatch), predominantly CSM but with some demons
d) Revisiting my very old Dark Angels army, the first army I ever painted, and doing all those details and finishing touches I've been thinking about since I did them in 1990.
I've got a deadline of late August when w eare starting a new campaign and introducing some new players (we are waiting for them to finish their current gaming projects), so time is tight
I feeling little cross-eyed...

I got my Epic Blisters from a shop in my town centre. Not bad either - only ?3 each!
As for what Carl did with his hellbore - I like the idea, so I my do it with mine, but with a steel legion feel. I sooooooooooooooooooo want a hellbore now. 
As for Carls steel legion, I may have to copy that as well, but I'll have much more than that, there's a lot of stuff you can do with 40 sprues worth!!!
Also - Anyone any tips for painting knights? I ain't got a clue, I just like the models so much I had to buy them.
Cheers
Chris
PS One they are assembled I'll take some pics

I hope your son recovers soon!
I ought to add I am doing the preliminary work on my Wood Elf army for when the WFB book comes out. Even though no one in my area plays WFB (we are all EPIC and VOID players here, with some people playing Crimson Skies, Bloodbowl and Necromunda).
I am trying to come up with a really Celtic WFB 3rd ed feel to it. So with shapeshifters (Ordering 2 werewolves, using them as champions in my main blocks of spearmen), a Satyr (counts as BSB, except for it's music provides the bonus instead of a banner). Sorcerors, and LOADS of archers . I trying to get away from the clean cut image of Wood Elves from the past few editions by adding warpaint, and dirt etc. It always confused me how Wood Elves looked like badly armoured high elves... when in my mind after trapsing round the Wood for weeks stalking there foe they looked imaculate, I guess they brought a spare change of clothing...
Also I am hoping to get some decent unicorn riders, who look like they are savage, rather than haughty.
