Built and primed the Death Guard side of Dark Imperium for a friend of mine. I also built a Noctilith Crown for myself. Finally, doing some detail work on some Blood Angels tactical marines as part of a cheap commission.
Found my motivation, painted camo on gunshields for light field arty for my R&H, made 2 normal, and made then the fault to make one camo out of Chaos stars. Suffering, utter suffering ....
Worked on updating some of my older Malifaux tacticas for my blog, finished another Malifaux post and working on 2 Gutter Runners and a Blitzer to finish my Blood Bowl team
Currently building stuff. I'm converting my Iron Golems for Warcry into Nurgle Iron Golems, and also start building and converting lightly Matthys, the leader of the Black Guild for Kharn Âges
Finished my unofficial GSC Nexos.
Bought a box of tempestus scion command for $35 and have built a nexos, biophagus, clamavus and a sanctus using bits and those models. Kinda like my knock off Kellermorph.
Hand of Glory figures from their previous KS. Figures use magnets to attach weapons and other accessories, including weapons, spell effects, and familiars. Background is from Loke Battlemat's Dungeon books.
I like your Nexos more than the Citadel model. A much better fit for a Brood Bothers or Hivecult style army. I also agree with his battle plan: frontal assault is best assault.
Continued working on painting some custom, scratch-built terrain.
Cheers,
CB
Thank you.
Hope you can post some pictures of your terrain.

I do privateer4hire, just check out my link to my Building Necromunda and Terrain, Old School Necromunda and other Things...although my photos are usually a week or two behind my posts here.
OK, due to having Ms. Captain Brown needing attention and her wanting to play Barbie and Lego...much of my day was booked before I woke up. Then it was getting sand down on the grass. Followed by a family walk, which meant I did not get much done today. I did seal the plasma tower and put sand on the bases of four Phoenix Lords...and dropped three models into Simple Green. Not a lot, but time was limited.
After...months of not doing anything, I'm trying to pick up the slack and get some stuff done. Yesterday and today;
Repainted most of my sheds, outhouses and wagons for my Old West game - after having painted them poorly maybe a year ago. Been bugging me ever since.
Touched up a half dozen dungeon miniatures, from damage on bases, to some colour fixing, applied some necessary gloss, fixed a broken sword, etc. Basically miniature maintenance.
Repainted part of a modular bridge I use for the Old West.
Assembled and primed 12 ur-ghuls for use as actual ghouls in my dungeon crawl, repainting bases on four other ones I've previously done - to match the dungeon. Will probably paint/dip them tonight since I use a stupid mega-easy method for them.
Resorting my fantasy miniatures and picking out some to sell/ditch and re-arranging all the foam more logically.
Will probably assemble some zombies I received in the post today as well.
Pondering lists for a possible AoS Seraphon force.
Pondering potential lists for our next AoS Path to Glory campaign. The current campaign is about 1/2 over, so it's time to consider what to build/paint next.
I've done Fyre Slayers, Gitz, & now Beasts of Chaos. Expand one of these? Do another flavor of one of these? Do something completely different??
Still painting Orcs....also worried I'm low on Primer and the Hardware store near me is closed so I cant get any. Hopefully I have enough so I can prime the last 20 Orcs I need to work on.
Finished this inceptor unit after putting it off for over a year. I really dislike gw flying models and their bases. Not super happy with how these are based but it’s the best I can figure out without buying special stuff.
Finished Han, almost finished my Skaven for Blood Bowl but now working on bases for my Bushido minis and finishing off my Rebels on the table (squad of troopers and an AT-RT)
Started sculpting/converting an Aspiring Champion of Khorne with hammer and axe. Using lots of spare Khorne parts and the base legs from a Space Marine they are getting green stuff sculpted over them. Taking my time, trying to make it look awesome.
Added sand to the bases of four models...which means all 9 of my remaining infantry have their bases finished by tomorrow. The pile of shame is really getting small...as long as you do not count all the other household items I have been collecting for terrain.
Once I'm done with a conference call I'll put the final highlights on some plastic dwarfs (6 total). Going to change it up by working on some cars for Gaslands.
I'm a teacher so I'm home for the foreseeable future, which on one hand sucks but on the other hand...I have't been this painting productive in years.
Assembled, primed, and painted six zombies as a test - the other twelve will be done in batches of six each....as that's just about as many as I can handle doing in a 2 hour sitting.

Please post pics if you can. Been seeing some really cool GSC armies on here recently and enjoy the inspiration
I finished painting the last 4. Now I need to come up with a basing scheme for them. Sandy rock is my current plan, but I'm open to ideas.
Here they are:
Spoiler:
Very nicely done.
My basing scheme is about the same for all my models, homemade astrogranite gray.
It's kind of boring but it matches my playing surfaces and is sorta neutral for blending in on various tables.
Sandy rock sounds like a good option, too.
Built and primed the last six zombies...may actually force myself to paint them....going out of town for a week, so I'd like to get them dipped so I can finish them all when I get back.
Began the building of my Sons of Horus Despoiler squad, combining the various chainsword options and Devastator Sarge open hands to create some brothers in the midst of combat, also began sketching the rough idea for a scenic base for a duel between two commanders that they can slot for display like some of the Forge World character series.
Working on a commission I normally wouldn't take, but I can't really get the models back to the owner due to social isolation measures. Orginally, it was only going to be priming the models, but now that I am kinda stuck with them for a while the owner convinced me to just paint them all up. I am only going for a low-ish tabletop standard as get it done and go back to my own projects. I think I am making pretty good progress given that I only started working on them three days ago.
Putting together two tanks - converting some 1/35 scale Stuart tanks as IG vehicles.
I'm not used to these infernal rubber tracks though. Can't glue them, can't melt them, I had to resort to using 2 staples to hold together the ends of each track.
started early, primed some Godtear warbands with super cheap and rather stinky poundshop primer and despite doing it outdoors am now feeling a tad unusual
Ever finished something even though it was a complete disaster? Found this guy partially assembled from a year ago, finished and jury-rigged him as parts were missing and then attempted a paint technique that didn't work out. At least magnetizing went ok. Lots of lessons learned
Next is a three set of Elminators. Going with the carbine and las-fusils for this group and probably the bolt rifles for the other three
Spent the day painting assorted Frostgrave builds I have knocked up over the past couple of years, learned I own a lot of neutral toned paints now, also a staggeringly large amount of red colours.
Still chipping away at my Rebels, final days now for this squad. Looking for something to break it up though so will probably end up getting some Malifaux on the table
Wee got something to add to the pile, my nuclear shrimp heavy walker in 28mm finally came in. i will put in line to get some love after i finish my allies for DUST.
Fighting the pile of shame. Turning some grey horrors into pink horrors and more shenanigans with Harlequins. By Cegorach are they hard as nails to paint, but will be so worth it in the end...
My work being "essential" means I dont have as much time I would of liked to actually paint but I did make progress last night so more Orcs done! Go me!
Completed my Spire Tyrants and darkoath chieftain for Warcry.
Tried a scheme on a yu-Jing model but don't actually like the result. Will strip and try again.
Have a bunch of vanguard marines on my desk assembled and primed. They're probably next. Along with druanti because... wow, stunning model .
95% painted.
So it's the yu-jing, vanguard and a few samurai and odds and ends left to do.
Just varnished my rubicon m4a3e8 Sherman ready for some weathering, while that was drying i also opened a box of the newer bolt action us infantry to replace the dated old plastic minis.
Finishing my second Khorgorath. Archaon is gonna be my big Covid Challenge. Honestly, I’m gonna start that up in the Dakka painting section for everyone.
Printed materials to test run some Dungeon World tomorrow - also planning on painting a whoppin' three ratmen tonight. Did some pictures/editing on materials for the dungeon crawl as well.
feth I hate painting. Always something wrong. If it isn't the citadel paints being fethed after sitting in a drawer for a year, its me getting the shakes trying to concentrate. Want to smash something already.
Painting 24 Berzerkers has slowly ground to a halt as it has been sapping my willpower.
Built a 2nd Helbrute over the last few days for a break - was pleasantly surprised by the scarcity of moldlines. Just a little making good to do to finish up.
Dragged my bolt action stuff out and worked on any little bits that have needed doing before any priming. Have an almost 1500 point 12th ss Normandy force up together.
Also up dating my us 1st infantry division force too. The old plastics look so bad compared to the newish plastics .
Just finished up my HURK heavy walker from nuclear shrimp(in greece) . with the added magnets it is alot taller than factory image. not sure if i will order anything from them again(although the epic scale classic look warlord titan tempts me). i ordered it near the end of jan and it showed up this week....took them a month to get around to making it and another month to ship. on the up side the cast was about average for resin and the price was good.
Now to tackle that huge pile of steel guard SSU heavy infantry from DUST- 5 x 3 man squads..hope my paint holds out.
P.S. no small thing but before i finished the HURK...i painted my entire 150 point ALLIES heavy ranger army for DUST.
Finished my eliminators. Was happy to have my basing materials come in only to realize I had run out of spray for the bases. So instead I'm painting infiltrators.
I hate doing ten man units. There just doesn't seem to be a good way to break up the work
Mini's are at the basecoat stage, but C&C welcome. If you can find a pic that the boyar is based on, I'd appreciate it.

Background from Loke Battlemat's "Dungeon Book of Maps", available at Miniature Market. MM has a clearance sale that ends today, although LB stuff is not included.
Sanded the edges & applied a layer of clear coat to what'll soon be my temporary "at-home" minis table. Browsed the internet for just the right saw horses to support it with - has to be the right combo of large enough/cheap enough/sturdy enough.
All of this took about 3x as long as it should've thanks to the assistance of the cat....
Finished off a squad of Rebel Troopers for Legion and almost finished my Untamed Beasts. Only the wraps on limbs and weapons to go now so they'll be finished tomorrow
Finished and mailed my photos for my entry for the League of Extraordinary Riveters.
Loads more photos in my Necromunda anf Terrain Painting Log including a walkthrough on how it was built.
Design and inspiration credit goes to Mister Sean Patten and his numerous scratch builds using a variety of household items http://www.ironhands.com/h2.htm
Today while I should have been working I decided to change my land raider load out, instead of it being a triple barrel terminus ultra, I will turn it into an angel infernus thus adding a nice chapter only vehicle to my showcase
Now I have to wait for all this disease to blow over so I can get
The redeemer upgrade pack and save £30 odd
No I just need to putty up the damage caused by removing the las cannon sponsons.
Finished up my Untamed Beasts and the last 2 models for the Mercenary keyword in Malifaux plus got some more work done on a couple of Freikorps models to get more Malifaux keywords done
Dusted off my entry for the paint comp, also used LGS to fill the damage on the land raider, worked very well I dont know why all the hate, it is able to be shaped with a file once it fully cured
Cleaned up, based, and primed a handful more dungeon miniatures, and a small terrain piece (an idol). Hopefully put some paint on them. Do some work on the dungeon cards (photos, etc.)., and work a bit on a role-playing game I've been running.
About 10:30pm - Just finished up that D&D session I was prepping for the other day.
All that prep? Pointless. The group veered 100% off course & did none of what I had anticipated.... Fortunately I'm really good at winging it.
Tomorrow evening? I'll prep the rest of the situation this sessions play resulted in. Their in the middle of something now, so wich ever way they go, THIS prep won't be wasted.
Managed to get some priming done so I can start painting some more stuff (putting off the already primed stuff yet again) and a lot of work on my last 3 Blood Bowl Skaven. Moving into Malifaux more seriously for a bit to clear some keywords entirely before going back to Legion
Todays progress;
* I did indeed prep for our next D&D session.
* Cut the 2"x4"x8ft support rails down to 6 ft for my in-home minis table.
* Built & primed L'Orient & the USS Constitution for Black Seas. Full paint, sails & rigging to come eventually....
Today will be spent working on some humans of various sets for Frostgrave and cleaning up some metals, I might also begin the "Heresy-fication" of some plastic Devastators
It was a very nice day here. So less work on the soon-to-be minis table than I'd intended, & 100% more yard work....
Still managed to get the green side finished though. (I'm making it reversible - one side covered in a green tea stain cloth, the other side in a similar tan pattern.)
And then I run into a delay.
Tables 6'L x 48" across.
The fabric I'm using only comes 44" wide. So I'll have a seam somewhere on each side. No problem, there's some carpet tape on one of the garage shelves that'll do the trick.
And it did. Except I discovered I only had enough to finish the green side.
So a few days delay as I await the Amazon truck. No problem, I've got some jungle terrain that needs making/painting
Painting some Malifaux stuff, aiming to have the Plague and Bandit keywords fully painted over the next day or 2 (only 4 models to go between them) and get most of the way on the couple models for Obliteration and Freikorps
Painting Dozer and Smigg from HORDES.
Model (not mine)
Hope to get the base layers finished and get the devlan mud was on.
Aaaaannnnnndddddd just realized when looking at the above pic that the foot plate for Smigg is at the wrong angle when I assembled it which is why it needed so much pinning to get him attached....
Finished building the last of the Reivers I had. Now I almost have a dozen chainsword Reivers. This catches me up on building all the models I have for my Primaris army too. While switching the heavy bolt pistol to the other hand of the one Riever turned out pretty good, I don't think I want to switch them up again. I still have 6 models left on my Death Guard commission before I can get back to my Primaris.
Gave the WHFB/AoS goblins some serious attention today beyond just my Path to Glory force.
* Wrote out a comprehensive list of the units I have. Without rehabbing stuff from my misc box? I'm sitting at nearly 2600 pts of Gitz.
* Stripped & primed up nearly 100 poorly painted Night Goblins/Gitz this afternoon. (old 3rd ed archers/spears)
* Did an inventory of my misc. Goblin stuff, wich old models need 20mm square bases, wich things need bitz (missing chariot wheels & such), what needs a few more models to become a minimum viable unit in todays game, etc.
After spending the weekend working on tidying up and little bits of work on my other main hobby (Arcade games) I'm back to painting my CSM. I don't know how many more I'll be able to get painted with my current pot of Phoenician Purple, so I may have to move onto other models until I can get more ordered soon.
Trying out some basing schemes. The wolf gray is too blue, but contrast isn't applying evenly. Going to try one more variation before digging out the Airbrush from storage
Been doing a bit of role-playing lately, so for fun I got into fantasy map making. Haven't drawn anything since high school, so it was neat to pick up a pen. A lot to learn, and a lot to work on...but enjoying designing random fantasy maps.
Building the HMS Victory for Warlord's Black Seas.
It's not really that hard, just a complete PITA as WL casts the masts & spars in metal for the big "named" ships. You pull them out of the box & there's no end of straitening needed before you can assemble. Assembly (not counting full string rigging) only takes a few minutes after that....
Made some bocage test pieces , waiting for the filler mixture to dry and will get some paint on them tonight then will crack open the horse hair and clump foliage.
Have about 7 ft of bocage,,, that’s nowhere near enough. Need maybe triple that amount at best.

Spoiler:
I like those, very neat looking. I used to love drawing maps as a kid, it's a fun exercise in creativity.
This afternoon my assistant & I finished the temporary minis table.
The edges where the cloth is tacked down aren't perfect, & there's some (very) slight ripples in the fabric in places. But as we're not aiming at permanent perfection, just a more suitable table top than the too-small dining room table for the time being, it's fine.
Finished off a bunch of Malifaux models so can now tick off Plague, Tormented and Bandit keywords as fully painted. Also worked on a couple blog posts, and put pics of a couple more recent projects on my plog here on Dakka
Over the years, quite a few old school WHFB goblins, many missing bases, have accumulated via EBay lots etc.
You know, you buy a mixed lot for one thing, several goblins are in the mix & get chucked in a box.
Well, today was the day all those misc. goblins (about 60ish!) received bases, a coat of primer, & formed into units or assigned to existing ones.
Continuing my scratch build of a giant Eric Carle's "Very Hungry Caterpillar" Butterfly for my kids to use as a wargaming flier! It's really taking shape! And it's BIG!
Painted some of my new Dwarven Forge stuff. Pretty disappointed with some of the pieces - which is a shock. May have to be more careful about my choices in the future. The stuff has actually gotten worse from my original KS pieces.
I started painting some 3D printed contemptor dreadnoughts for my custodes army.
Iron warrior dread for scale. The 3D models themselves are a mix of a couple of different custodes and contemptor dreadnoughts models I found on thingiverse.
Finished a bunch of Malifaux models (almost finished Outcasts faction entirely, moving on to Ten Thunders) and working my way through more Legion stuff. Once this batch is done I'll have 2 different skirmish lists painted before I paint the rest for full sized armies
and touching up 14 classic battletech miniatures(metal) that got dropped and chipped some time ago.
Not bad for 4 weekends of lockdown.....now to get through the rest of the month
I still have several gundam master grade kits i need to assemble, however seeing as how most of my display cabinets are full i may not be overly motivated to finish them
Elbows wrote: Another batch of dungeon stuff done...Dwarven Forge's quality is slipping though. Was far less impressed with this than some of my other stuff.
Spoiler:
That's odd, doesn't look much different from the stuff I got off their first two Kickstarters. Then again, I haven't bought anything since 2013.
...which also reminds me, I need to find an excuse to get more...
Primed my entire Shattered Stormvault terrain kit. Now I'm contemplating on if I should wash the entire thing with agrax earthshade or start base painting the parts that won't be a stone color.
Did a couple finishing touches and on the Canoness, Repentia and Imagifiers that I painted over the weekend and now starting some base layers on a squad of Seraphim.
Because now that my table is built I need to make some suitable AoS/40k terrain for it. Not counting this evening, I've got 4 days.
Tonight I'll do some trees.
It's funny. For all the thousands of minis, covering all genres, I've got? I have comparatively little actual terrain (& that's in mostly 15mm WWII desert themed) as I rarely host anything.
Now I've made crap loads of stuff over the years. But it's mostly been for/with shops, being paid for my efforts via product/hefty discounts.
So I guess if we want anything other than 15mm North Africa come Sunday I better get busy.
Bought a bottle of something called "chalkkboard paint" that supposedly lets you paint a chalkkboard onto a porous surface to see if it would be useful for terrain and bases, and picked up a couple nice dry brushes and a large round brush for a dollar.
Started and finished a Ctan Deceiver. I’ve been enjoying the older simpler kits lately. They paint quickly and easily. Next up I have some finishing touches to put on my Tech Priest Dominus. After that, a Deathwing Command Squad.
Latest order arrived so using my new glue to put a bunch of things together, and working away at my Wookiees and Rebel Troopers for Legion. Getting there, gearing up for a big batch of basing next week once the current lot are all painted.
Finished up a unit of shield breakers for my Mantic dwarfs.
Also swapped out one troop's rifles for crossbows, so that I have the dwarf sample list in the Kings of War 3rd edition free rules.
Now to get the orcs too!
That’s what I did as well. It was the last one I had left. Mine turned out well. I’m doing the termies one at a time because I find the color scheme to be so tedious. Getting one fully done seems to keep me more engaged than batch painting.
It's a very nice day here in NE Ohio, so time to get in some yard work before it rains on us again/tomorrow. I might get some stuff primed later though.
Panted up a unit of Mantic sharpshooters, just 10 brock riders and on artillery crew dwarf left before I call my dwarfs done.
The box is full and I have enough to try out various builds in even big games.
175 Manitic dwarfs; with 12 mastiffs, 21 badgers, 3 war engines and 1 giant mechanical ram.
Almost finished a unit of Wookiees and my second set of Rebel Troopers, which puts me closer to having a fully painted Legion army. Planning to finish them in the next day or 2 and get into some Malifaux
Tiger9gamer wrote: I put together and painted some Roman temple columns and a pedestal from Hirst Arts just to try it out, and trying to figure out a good scheme.
Leftmost is black spray primer, and one dry brush of applebarrel’s pewter grey and and one dry brush of granite gray.
Middle is just light grey primer and dry brush of apple barrel granite grey
And the pedestal is a base coat of apple barrel pewter grey and a dry brush of granite.
I prefer the easier one of light grey and granite, but people say the pedestal is more natural.
Well I'd say what you like is most important. Afterall it's your terrain & you're the one painting it. (middle pillar looks fine btw)
Turns out Supressors and Inceptors have very different jetpack systems for some reason. Seeing if I can adapt my 3d printed smoke plumes to match. Might just dig up some of my old Inceptor jumppacks instead.
I finished another death wing terminator. I’m going to start on the Deathwing Champion next. I bought him second hand and he doesn’t have a Crux Terminatus, so I am going to have to freehand that. I’ve done some freehand chapter symbols and those turned out well, but this will be trickier.
Working on Star Wars and Malifaux, plus I primed the next batch of models. With this priming I'm finishing McCabe's crew for Malifaux and my Rebels for Legion, as well as a Gloomspite warband for Warcry and a Delaque gang.
Secured copies of Waaargh The Orks, Ere We Go and Freebooterz for my Library Of Past Joys.
Ended up sourcing them from eBay, but overall got some decent deals, relatively speaking.
Side bonus of the Loot Group is having a few favours to call in when a eBay seller only posts to Canada/US.
It’ll sting a bit on the second batch of post costs, sure. But when the only copy of Waaargh in the U.K. is going for £800, and the copy I bought was £114? Yeah. “Thank you Sir, may I have another?”
After spending the first 3 days of the week working on getting my Deathwatch marines painted and edge highlighted, it's finishing day and I'm starting completing models doing the small details.
Had a weird night where I had to keep diving into the parts bin because apparently I forgot half the bits need to build an intercessor. Did manage to get my Supressor to work with the 3d printed smoke plume I printed, but I really need some intercessor/assault marine sized plumes to match the exhaust ports
Now its on to the other two supressors. I'm pretty excited to be this close to having finished my marine queue.
Got my hands on a cheap copy of the Sylvaneth Battletome the other day & it finally got to me.
So, in-between bouts of paperwork today, I'm studying said tome trying to determine how our Sylvaneth player could make a more effective army (or at least play what he's got more effectively).
He started the tree-folk for our current Path To Glory campaign & even though he has a pretty good win/loss ratio he's been having a rough time of it.
I figure I'll use this forced down time we're all enjoying & become proficient with yet another army....
(BTW, can someone tell me if there's a way to get images from flickr to show up here? Yes I tried to image tag, no joy.)
I saw these as obelisk like construct shape and grabbed two. Maybe I should have gotten 4 but oh well.
I plan on putting them on at least a 2 layer foamcore base and doing them as necron monuments. I'm not sure what glue to use as these don't seem to be styrene, they are fairly thickish, actually, but softer amd more flexible than styrene and just don;t quite feel like it. I may have to experiment with the inside to see what if any glue sticks to it. (suggestions?)
I would love to put like a clear green glass or plastic pyramid atop them but doubt I'll find anything just right. (Again, suggestions?)
Maybe if I can glue to these some glyphs on the sides with the necron symbol. At least it seems some paint stiucks to them as they are painted already.
Repaired some Varanguard I bought on the FBAoS board. I really wish people who tend to trade models would:
A) build the models correctly
B) remove flash
C) use superglue, not plastic glue. Ugh. Oh well, only one issue with an arm not seated up against the reins.
Just finished building & painting the last few spells (Emerald Swarm, Prismatic Palisade, & Soulsnare Shackles) from my Malign Sorcery set.
It's one of those things where I'll only build/paint a piece if I'm going to use it in a game. Or sometimes a piece while watching TV/Netflix/etc. Well, tonight I reached the end.
Oh, and drew up some hypothetical Sylvaneth lists.
Typing up some D&D notes before my in-session scribblings (completely) stop making sense.
It's only been two weeks & already there's a few notations that.... Well, I could've used a few more words. Made sense in the moment, but 2 weeks later.
Building 5 GSC bikers (one left to go).
After that, the only models I have left to build/paint are 8 genestealers and the trees from the souldrain forest for warcry.
Got home to discover my misc. Forest Goblins had finally arrived.
So cleaning them up, replacing broken bases, & stripping about 1/2 of them. Hopefully priming them up tomorrow afternoon.
Primed some models, fully fixed a Ghorgon I thought was permanently ruined (tried to convert, no go, brought it back nicely) and continued fixing a giant.
Went with the fleshy style and stole the radioactive mouth idea from another painter. ::
Usually, I avoid flesh washes for human figures, but it works for monsters.
Unfortunately, the two parts of the mouth don't fit well together, but a Reaper base will hold them.
Finished my Supressors. Went together surprisingly well despite me not being able to use my maginfier during the painting process. Now I'm going to be assembling/priming my Elminiators. This would be the last unit of on-sprue models. After that will be some heros and a pred tank.
Working on a Khorne Slaughterpriest modification. Bought a Mighty Lord of Khorne, Slaughterpriest and unit of Skullreapers/Wrathmongers for $40 and have already modified and started painting the priest.
Now for a different project, I have 6mm Greeks to rebase and finish next. While I start getting respectable (as opposed to bits of felt) ancients terrain going.
Continuing to base & prime goblin stuff as ordered bitz trickle in.
Currently have 5 super old oop orcs awaiting slotta bases, 3 boarboyz awaiting bases, & a whole bunch of shields that need making
Finishing of some bocage terrain I started over Easter. Not looking to shabby if I’m honest, there’s a couple of things I will do differently for the next batch.
Next terrain will be a river that’s been cut out and waiting along with a stone bridge.
