Putting the finishing touches on my Militarum Tempestus Kill Team:



Still have some tidying up to do, along with the bases, but overall I'm quite chuffed with how they've turned out, given my complete inability to hold a brush properly, if at all.

Next up.. the Taurox Prime!

Undercoating and painting a couple of models for a small commission: a Reaper wolf and a Reaper Bones lady.

Did the little details on the sternguard and managed to highlight the red on two of them. Three more left and the squad is done for painting and I can pick a new project

Poorly done pic for now, will get a better one tomorrow, but..



The Taurox Prime is (nearly!) done. Just need to dig out some simple decals and then we're on to the second batch of Scions, followed by a commissar.

wooo, Brook representin' the Tempestus.

CSM now sprayed gold, sorcerer in metal found on the bay of eeee and ordered, also first pass at paint removal from Ahriman, just need a way to get it off my fingers now.. back in acetone to get the rest off before assembling.

Onwards to tomorrow night and the Tamiya clear red...

Currently at work, dead bored haha
Been working on painting up my 40 group of stormvermin. Had 10 complete ages ago and had 5 done yesterday minus washes n highlights.
Working on another 5 tonight hopefully 10 though depends how motivated I am the end of the night.

I am feeling better doing groups of 5 than groups of 10 it makes me feel like I am getting more done quicker that way for some reason

Need to make a GSC list for my miner 40kers.

forgot to take pictures of the rule book so i can make it at work :(

got some ideas to make genestealers out of skittari as mining drones.

The OOP Sisters of Battle Immolator.

I've been putting together the contents of Lost Patrol. The scouts are assembled, and I've done 3 Genestealers so far. I probably won't paint them for a while, though.

Painted two dreadnaughts from BaC. One Imperial Fists, one World Eaters. Pretty good models for painting, although more than a couple would get a bit stale.

Working on making a hill. Pretty much every game needs a good hill, right?

Hills are good, I've got the stuff here to make some, indeed its in the same place its been the last five years just waiting.

I for one admire your ability to get on with it

Painting a few characters from Silver Tower while the wife and baby are asleep: have started the Doomseeker (after watching the Warhammer TV guide) and trying to finish off the Skaven guys.

Finished painting Tanith (Circle warlock).

I did some scary maths today.

I own 72 Batman models.

I have used 14 of them more than once.
I have used 28 of them once.
I have never used 30 of them.

I have finished painting 5 of them.
14 of them are partially painted

Packing my Team Yankee Soviets for a trip to Janco Toys tomorrow in the peoples democratic republic of South Yorkshire for the launch event of the British.

Hopefully N. Blokov will do better than his last outing now he has some anti aircraft support to call on...

Yeah, I've been meaning to make some hills for... quite some time. Right now I'm just doing a basic thing of posterboard (i think that's what it is) and paint and a little sand for texturing.

That is so many batmen. Batmans? Batsman?

As one gets older one must come to the realization that, when engaging in sports you simply cannot expect to be able to dive or roll as well as one could when they were younger. I should know this by now, but it is a fact I keep forgetting

As a result I manage to dislocate my arm....again....for the 5th time.

It is my painting arm to boot! So my plan of continuing to get all my terrain painted is now on hold until it heals enough I can use it without a stinging pain.

That being said my Frostgrave rulebook came in the mail! I'm excited!

Well went north with them, brought the resulting debris back in a sponge bag...

Two games, two utter wipeouts, both great fun though, utterly brutal game

Primed my Knight and FW Sigismund model. Painting should ensue shortly.

Today, I'm hoping to get a lot of stuff done, including:
-Completely finish the skin on my first 4 Kroot
-Get the other Kroot primed (may not happen, depending on weather)
-Assemble some of my Start Collecting Space Wolves stuff
-Play a game of 40k with a friend this evening

Playing Forbidden Stars

Takes for fething ever. Almost won too, but everybody decided to make the game go longer so the ultra-smurfs could win instead. *sigh* oh well

Kinda Hobby related, I cleaned my entire room just to make way for the ungodly amount of models I have now. My dream is to own a house with a garage for my models, lol.
Seriously though, I stripped some old Sternguard I converted, than gave them new bitz from the new kit. Gave them some FW heavy flamers, and now I have all I need for my flameblade strikeforce army, bar the 6 droppods, but those are in transit.

Finished building a 3-man jetbike squad converted to Harlequins (head and arm swaps plus mask bits from the starweaver). Got 'em primed and am playing with color schemes.

Sounds cool. Hope to see pics.

Are you/have you actually played the B@C game itself?
If not, I highly recommending giving I a go. Very nice ruleset.

Finally starting the Tzangors from Silver Tower. Just those six to do and the set is finally finished. Wanted to start them yesterday, but just couldn't get in the right frame of mind for it.

Continue to unpack and reorganize all my hobby stuff.

Finish assembling some Hasslefree minis I have had for years.

If I can find the airbrush, basecoat my black templars

Finished painting the sternguard just to realize I have no microset to put any transfers on the silly curved surfaces of their shoulderpads. Darnnit.

So I did the basing for my Dark Reapers and Fire Dragons instead. Yay! Fully finished models... but boo computer is dead so I cannot upload pics...

Thinking about basing Ares Lictor II so I can have him ready to put pics in the showcase thread whenever I figure out what is wrong with the computer.

So I have to get my AoP stuff done by Thursday morning, as I am working through the whole weekend and won't be able to spend any time on it at all.

What gets done tonight, and what gets done tomorrow night is the question. I have about 10 working hours to get it all done, need to think about how (suggestions more than welcome!)

Built like 15 GSC models without the tryanid bits for my miner 40kers.

disheartened that getting a full 20man Genestealers made of Skittari Scicarians will cost me an arm and a leg.

Need to pull out 3 lemons out of storage

and like 2 chimeras. man making GSC lists is nuts
