So, a month has crawled by... my muse kinda dried up after some crappy life events. Going to try to get back to painting soon, but for now, I wanted to just post this:
Stormhawk?! I should send GW a C&D, since I named a flyer that first.

How's the Chappy looking?
EDC
Sternguard and Vanguard Vets. My client is making that freebie formation. Plus, some flamers, eviscerators and plasma pistols for his Assault Squads. Termie Libby and the Chappy.
I will have the Chappy done soon, so I will post pics when I do.
After this, my BA client only has 10 Scouts for me to do and he assures me his collection is complete.
Also, painting two FoW Tiger tanks. I will post some pics shortly. Doing ambush camo.
I had contemplated doing a 30k Black Shields army and I loved the idea of camouflage, so seeing this on the FW Bulletin today really made my day!
I wonder what they are doing painting up a Rhino that way. That guy painting it is Andy, the Specialist Brands Product Manager. The tinfoil hat part of me wonders if this isn't intentional... it isn't, but GW/FW have given me trust issues!

This looks to be my current "build list" for the WarConvo. I have everything in place except the Kastelans, which I am working on getting now. The names are all mostly tentative and for my own obsessive need to have fluff for everything ever.
Don't you dare tempt me! I already have a camo scheme I want to tinker with. I just need to figure out a list I can live with and/or afford (both unlikely).
I love, love, love the use of that Breacher helmet, btw. Missed chance to put a skull face painted on it, imo.
On a positive note for me as a hobbyist, my AoS purchases are almost done. Just need to finish the (now languishing) Blood Angels. Yes, I am still working on them and yes I feel bad. I have just run out of steam as a commission painter and when those are done, barring any Titans or other feather-in-the-cap models, I am done taking money for painting.
My projects are years old and still untouched - that has to change!
Do a camo 40k Badab war themed army (several have old school camo schemes), and a Blackshield 30k army. Then come to Adepticon and play all the things.

I wouldn't do a 40k Camo Marine army. Just doesn't feel right to me. Still working on making Marines Malevolent, currently. But I am very much torn for the 30k option. Blackshields or World Eaters?! I can't decide.

Naw, when it comes to World Eaters, I like mine flying rodent gak crazy! I want to do a list with Kharn. I drew up a few, but don't exactly have the scratch to make it happen just yet. I need Spartans, Butchers, and a Deredeo for starters.
I mean, what is not to love about these crazy dudes!?
In the end, I will probably do a 3000pt World Eater list and make a small couple of Blackshield warbands to accompany my House Vyronii Knights.... whenever FW decides to actually release my transfer sheets!

Some lists I need more than others. Like my Vyronii list is waiting on just transfers, while the World Eaters I need... most of it.
Just posting this here for record-keeping and stuff, some with "fluff" and some just roughed out thus far. Maybe folks will be able to watch me as I progress towards these end goals, too. We will see!

Blackshields are just giving me a headache. I can't find a list with them I like at all. :(
So, my order of projects is (once I finish the Blood Angels):
AoS Khorne Bloodbound - of which I have almost everything I need, just a box of Wrathmongers that should arrive Tuesday!
WarConvocation - just need Kastelans!
Knights - Just need a Warhound (debating on it still), and the Vyronii sheets. I own all the Knights I need!

I totally don't know what you mean... really... I swear....
Also, Blood Angel update, sorta. Took a shot of them on a table at my FLGS. The Libby was fun to paint. Now just to crank out the last 40 models and then I have 10 Scouts and a Land Raider, plus Gerantius, to do for that client.
Then my stuff will be on the table for the first time in like 6+ years!
Had a look at the General's Handbook. Been crunching numbers ever since! I have a 2500pt Warhost "build list" for that now, which is basically my old build list, but with points. Looks like I wasn't too far off the mark. Waiting to see if Forge World assigns points so I can run my big bad dude too.

So I am ready for a big ol' battle! Can't wait to start building. I have everything I need, just need to get clipping, gluing and painting!
I am trying to find a base style I like for my Skullfiend Tribe and these.... are not quite there. Not digging the color, I think I need to go darker in the root color, dark brown. Going for the blasted earth look. More crackle, more lava paste and less cork and ballast, for sure. Going to add dark green tufts after the fact - but don't want to waste them on testers.
Anyhow, I am getting stuff built finally - I will post a pre-paint shot of the whole massive Warhost I have. And I have three new-in-the-tube W&N S7 brushes and my still-unused H&S Infinity airbrush ready for these! Can't wait.
