Thanks, I had yours at least to set the standard.

I also see I left off the power cables to the Gravs and the Omniscope for the Sgt. . I'll have to go back and fix.

Still working on the Lamenters Chapter badges for the 8 Dev's. I'll probably need a few new Sgts for these guys.

So Solar, am I allowed to bug you in this thread . Where are we taking AdeptiCon Wardens event discussion to, and do I need to abuse my mod powers somehow??

Regarding this:

Finished the Centurions. I think I’ll go back over the Helmets to see if I can tighten them up a bit. I left off the heavy front waist plates and went for a cleaner look. I cannot find the 2nd box of these guys. Maybe I thought I bought them?

Wow, I really dig the checker pattern on those Centurions! I do think the helmets need something - almost look a little too "blue" - but that's the only thing that I would have thought needed any tweaking at all. They're lovely

Thanks for the reminder. I need to do something. Bug away!.
Yeah . My attempt to shade white is too strong. I'll have to tone the helmets down a bit.

All 8 Grav Devs are done. Shoulders and Packs take forever with all the checkers.

With that eating up most of the time I only got the Interceptor built and primed. I did manage to magnetize the front nose guns but I don't know if I'll do anything other than missiles for the under the wing mounts. Plan is to get it completed this week.

Then on to my Reaver build. I'd like to get it painted before it gets really cold. ( and Nerds Reaver build for Gits and I get overshadowed )

Still watiing on my order for some HH World eaters stuff. I'll yet again start another thread for that project. I'll probably add any new Alpha Legion stuff there as well so I keep this thread for my Lamenters.

This Machine is slowing down.. got a ton of stuff to do before the winter sets in and were snowed in eating jerky, root veggies and fighting off the wild critters

Hopefully the weekend brings better weather,

So I can't paint but I can order.. ordered a Cerastaus Atrapous Imperial knight and another 20 MkIII HH marines for the World Eaters

Got a good deal on a FW Dreadnought Drop pod. Now I have to determine if I should paint it as a Lamenter or or in Alpha legion colors.

Thanks for all the suggestions.. I might look at getting on of the large HH drop pods for the AL siege Dread.So far It's leaning towards Lamenters.
Still haven't had any time to paint. Only had time to start cleaning up Reaver titan parts. Looking forward to assembly. I'll need to get some Magnets and decide if I want to base her or let her go free standing.

The Month of October should be an exciting month. Lot of stuff on the way in the mail . Xmas in October.
All the death Ray Space Marine Terrain,40 MkIII HH marines. 2 HH Landspeeders, 6 Jetbikes, Dread Pod, HH Atropos Knight, an additional Siege Leviathan Dread ( This one for my friends WE army)
Now I know what WM feels like every month!

Will be good seeing all that getting done.

I'll put a vote in for the Lamenters. I mean, they kind of need a dready Drop Pod for all the Dreads you've just painted

I have 4 normal drop pods, but they can get consumed fast with Inf. The siege dread can only go in a Dread pod if I want him to stat out in the thick of things. I need to get a game into see how he plays.

I haven't actually got much recently. I've got such a mountain stuff already I can start whole armies without needing to buy things. Not that it'll stop me from doing just that when I decide i need 15 Gav Centurions.

Very impressive blog, Solar - it has served as a useful distraction while I've been WFH the last few days

Any chance I could pick your brains on purple, after seeing the rather nice Knights you've done recently? Other than a purple wash (such as Leviathan Purple), what would you recommend as shade/highlight colours?

As flattered as I am. the best purple I've seen to date is on Git's Emperors Children. He went the professional route ( Major Tom) to get a stunning royal purple look . I'd start there for sure.

Mine is on the light side..In my uneducated learning's Purple goes either to the 'Red' or 'Blue" Red give you more of a lavender shade and blue give you a plum.

Look at Gits formula (I believe it's in he MW blog ) It truly is a nice effect.

On a side note. I've finished the Interceptor. Though not sold on my design nor did I do a good enough job on some parts, So I have to do some reconstruction before I show it here.

Finished all my craters. just waiting on a sealing coat.


I'll be taking a Hiatus... Due to Family maters. I look forward to catching up on your blogs when I return.

Wish I had half of that shopping list coming, nice haul, be great to see your production over the coming months. Look forward to your take on the titan as well. (going to have to do me a scratch mega gargant to shut you all up...bloomin titans!)

To add to chorus, no worries bud, if you need a break, its cool, hope nothing too heavy going on, not prying. Waiting patiently, might drop some yellow and checkers just to keep the home fires burning. Not saying they will be Spesh Marines mind you!

Thanks guys; it's not me. My Mother passed away last night so I need to take care of some things being the responsible son and all. All will be well. Anyway, thanks for you support.

Thanks to everyone for your kind words.

Graven.. yes ... yes it has! Looks like November is shaping up to be a pretty crappy month as well. Hopefully December will turn around.

So I've been busy and pretty much consumed with things, I have managed to at least get to some gaming stuff. As I mentioned this is my stress relief and I'm trying to make sure I get some.

I have purchased a CERASTUS KNIGHT-ATRAPOS a while back and it finally arrived. I picked up another BoC box ( for my AL) and a Burning of Prospro box. These I will add to the 40 MKIII figures of my friends WE army.
I'm going to scrap together the LasCannons for the 2 LR's I painted in AL color and re-paint them in WE colors. I also got an additional Siege Leviathan Dread that I'll add the to the WE list. . Forgot to order the weapons (though I suppose I will magnetize this one also and use the ones I have if I need to,) Ordered a mess of chain axes and thin'd some GW paint into stopper bottles for my eventual mass production WE project.

In the mean time I'll have the Atropos ( which I'm planning a dark Mettalic body and an Orange armor plates; Hopefully matching my someday Mechanicus army) and the Dread Drop Pod to do. However the next two weeks will be unproductive, but the thought of my Reaver Titan looms in my evil Plans as well. Keep Posting on your blogs . It keeps me going even though I'm not responding.

Thanks again for al your kindness.

SL
