Have you ever run out of steam painting a unit and shelved it with the intention of finishing it later? That was the case with my recently completed Flameguard Cleansers which were a w.i.p. for eight months. When I started a Protectorate army last year I was really excited to buy a unit of Deliverers. Well, when I opened my box guess what was in the inside...a unit of Cleansers?(yeah, weird mispackage oddity). Well I decided to keep them and paint them when I got around to it...they became my perpetual side project. Finally they are table ready...

In the end I was glad I got the wrong item in the box because they ended up being a pretty nice unit(both in look(sculpts) and in terms of stat line!). Also, it helped me with a new system I'm leaning towards from now in order to get units done. While I'm waiting for paint to dry on solos, warcasters and warjacks(and warlocks & warbeasts), I will go to a unit and do bits of it here and there over time....as to avoid unit burnout. Then, one day, as happened with my Flameguard Cleansers, I've suddenly got a painted unit ready for battle(without the painting fatigue of just painting that unit from start to finish).
