Played two games with my Goreshade2 army vs Cygnar and Merchenarise.
Both ended with killing the enemy caster.
Goreshade2 is a bad guy.

Had a go at painting some nudie men.

Learning how to cast stuff with resin from guides, I will place an order once I find a brand I want.

DraconicLord, I think that looks super cool.
If that's derp-looking please box all your derp looking stuff and send it my way

After having painted that pair of statues I felt like making some more monolithic Pre-War architecture for Fallout. To that end then I've started on a war memorial to go along with my Fallout terrain set. Its sort of going to look like a scaled down Washington Monument, but with vaguely art deco styling and some mournful faces on each of its sides to tie it in with the Fallout look. Its just the frame right now, but hopefully I'll be able to post something more substantial in my thread tomorrow.

Got to play a game of Kill Team.

I lost, and it was a blast.

Those statues are heck of neat, Wyrmalla

Starting to work on my second squad of veterans for my Steel Legion.

Painted 4 UCM Archangels, and 3 of the plastic Rapiers.

They look great! Love how you got them to look like weathered bronze.

I'm finishing off my Skyshield Landing Pad and also adding some electronics to bring it to life

Today is a landmark day. I applied the first layer of paint to some space marines since the late nineties. It was just a bit of spray primer, and I am well out of practise. But it's a milestone none the less.

It's a first step on a long road leading into plastic crack hell.

Welcome back!

Depends on how things go today but I'm gonna try to paint Fistius Fistgar for Para's painting comp before I run out of time.

Thanks I'm already addicted again. And it's easier than ever to splurge a load of money on this stuff. Back in the nineties, I would have had to go 40 miles to get my fix. Now it's just a couple of clicks away.

I'm currently so angry at WaylandGames trying to screw with me over a miniature as part of a nearly £170 bundle I ordered that I'm probably not going to be going to my gaming club tonight.

Currently still advertised on WaylandGames site:



The response from Wayland Games?

Wayland Games wrote:"The free miniature came only came with orders placed before the end of November 2014. As your order was placed after this date the miniature was not included."

I'm not even certain the book was announced in November 2014. I used to be one of the supporters of Wayland when people complained about their slow delivery times but the amount of hoops I've been jumping through on my last 2 orders is just utterly shockingly bad.

Wow what a bummer

was the cut off date even advertized at all?

Nope, truth be told, I think Wayland Games have gotten it completely mixed up with the Infinity rulebook (which I don't even have nor play).

Am they going to even admit that, their mistake and send me my darned mini?

We'll see... But, I'm thinking...

May as well make a hubub about false advertisement then.

Really twist there nips on it.

Edit: if some on doesn't then they are going to keep doing it.

Yup, you have them by the nuts. Take proper screen grabs of them advertising on their site today and email them telling them unless it's resolved you will be going to trading standards and a solicitor.

Update on my marines, the primer coat came out too thick, so basically I screwed up, more practise required. The models are already in a vat of detol ready for rebirth.

Going to apply some shade to my Termite Chaplain, some sand to my ork boy, and primer to a space marine bike.

After a week of inactivity, I decided that today, right now, I would absolutely, 100%, with no ifs nor buts, paint something. I would paint the Harlequin that has been mocking me from the back of the desk for the last month.

I sit down to paint, and lo and behold, the little bugger has vanished, gone AWOL, moved on to pastures new...

Commence Operation: Find The Tricksy Eldar...

And... that takes all of your time and you fail to paint!

Or.. at least that's what happens to me all the time, can't find the sculpting tool or my hobby knife... sigh.

Did some airbrush work yesterday, nothing I'm ready to show off though, so I'm hoping to put those models to the brush tonight and move them along a bit.

Aye, that is possible! Although the rest of the squad is now primed, so if need be I'll just skip to them.

Finished building my first 10 Eisenkern stormtroopers last night. Have another 20 to build in near future.

Paint is happening on the Harlies! I found a scheme on the web that is exactly what I was going for in my head, and copied it straight away! Zenithal black and white with two spot colours, perfectly fits their style.

(Not my pic)

Those harlies look immense.

Today I built deathstroke from knight models

Yeah, mine are managing to follow that general style but don't look half as good! D

Post pics of Deathstroke when you paint him! Is it the Arkham Origins one?

After yesterday's primer disaster I've gone back to basics. I decided to do some very simple basing on some very old marines. Essentially PVA glue and some sand. So far I'm pleased with the look, tomorrow I'm going to give priming another shot.

DeathStroke is interested in seeing this.

Welp preparing to pin all the spikes and finger things to my FW Keeper of spiky secrets
