Finished painting up a counts as Hellbrute for my DM.

Something like this looks close enough to mantics troops in terms of technology if not style

I would likely use marines as Hafza if I go through with it myself.

Painting my woldwrath. Glyphs a gogo...

Assembled my first minis from infinity, the corregidor starter.
Am proud. They were a lot smaller than I imagined

Sealed my first 10-man tactical squad for my HH army, then primed a rhino for them. Today should be another good day for priming, so I finished assembling 5 dudes last night.

Assembled a Castigator and a Guardian this morning.

Fething Guardian... That thing just does not go together properly.

And now off to work

You are finding the infinity minis small? What are you used to working with? I think they're slender, but height-wise they're on par with space marines or taller in some cases. I was kind of surprised at how not-small they were after hearing all of this talk about how tiny they are. Interesting.


Put a little paint on some shasvastii, clipped some more tiles from my ruined quadrant, still quite a few to go.

Made this chunky building yesterday:


Still trying to decide if I want to sell/trade, mass/rapidly paint, or repurpose most of my 40k and whfb stuff.

Yeah, for some really small/fiddly models that are still ostensibly 25-32mm scale, get some Malifaux minis

Going to get some paint today so I can get started on some Napoleonics with my father. We are already knee-deep in 28mm, which I'm regretting now, as I think 10-15mm would have been a better choice if I had given it a little more thought when I first bought some British miniatures off E-Bay for my Father's birthday.

I haven't taken the time yet. I'll do an Adepticon Prep blog, though.

Breaking out the airbrush and basecoating a couple Chimeras, about 30 Sisters, and 10 Deathwing termies. Junky airbrush + thinning ratios = lots of cussing and praying

Adepticon huh? Been before? If so, did you enjoy/would you reccomend?

I'll be working on some chaos knights tonight. Got their horses done, now I just need to finish the knights themselves.

This year was my first year, and I enjoyed it. Lots of different ways to play 40k. You can play ultra-competitive tournament through fluffy friendlies. Something for everyone, 40k speaking. Next year, I'm hoping to join in some 30k events.

Slender is probably a better word. Some of the joins especially on the females and the wrists are tiny.

They're my first minis so I dunno. They're painted in so much detail on the site it amazes me when I see how small they are in person.

@ckig, alright I get what you mean. They are indeed finely detailed, to the point that it's hard to keep up. Worse yet, the studio painter often paints in details on them that aren't even present on the models, like logos/insignias, there are some little lines on the bottom of the moderator jacket thing that you have to add yourself etc. It's hard to look at Angel's work and feel good about my own

Fortunately, I mostly paint to tabletop standard on purpose. I mean, I probably couldn't do a lot better if I tried... but I don't try, so I get by


@kronk, interesting, thanks for sharing. I would probably be looking into non-gw events and such, I don't have a hate on for them, but I don't have an army or even the newest rulebook either. I'll be looking into the skirmish stuff. I doubt I'll have any hope of learning infinity well enough by then, but maybe I can go and play some Mantic games and get by. Maybe some of these convention/event style games they're supposed to be holding next year...

Then again, they actually hosted a seminar called "Modeling for Advantage" and that was what it was about, on purpose, condoning it and telling people how. Eeesh.

You're not alone. It's commonly accepted that Angel Giraldez is not human, but some divine painting being sent from the heavens to paint the ridiculously detailed models that Corvus Belli produce.

Working on adding MORE gubbins to my kitbashed Gorkanaut.

I may be getting a bit carried away, but heh

What else are bitz boxes for, anyway

Either he did something fantastic in a past life or he sold his soul for that ability.

Having just started painting, makes me appreciate his work a lot more. I got a long way to go..

Starting assembly on some Legion of Everblight tonight.

Got a heap of orky goodies from eBay delivered today,so that's my evening locked in.

Morkanaut, 6 kanz, assorted scenery stuff

Finished this guy:

Grim- that building is awesome!! looks like some serious havoc went off in that building lol

Heh thanks, I'm hoping the destruction increases both playability and aesthetic appeal

@TSL that spawn is creeping me out. Looks like something out of silent hill or similar.

Got some partially assembled Mk. lll marines through the post this morning hopefully going to assemble them fully this afternoon.

Hey, hey grimdork,


BLARG!

Definitely creepy! I think somebody found a new avatar?
