@ Gobert: Thanks, the skeleton is from board game called Destinies, more on that in a sec...
@ Captain Brown :Thank you
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to all!
So what have I been up to over Christmas?
Mostly playing Death Stranding and it's sucking all my life away(40 hours this week :S)
Not sure why, but I like its mostly chill vibes, slow pace, building roads and making deliveries
I did however do some hobbying:
+++
Got my last two Inquisitorial Agents finished on Christmas day
The Enlightener:
The Interrogator:
Again no stories, I seem to be on bit of a block on that front. Happy with how the Enlighteners collar came out.
+++
Played a board game called Destinies (where that skelly is from), it has a few 15mm minis, some special dice and an app that acts as a
GM...
Up to three people try to fulfill their own hidden goal that apparently conflict with each other:
Good fun, I "won", by the skin of my teeth.
I had acquired a load of boosts to my dice but on the final encounter, I rolled nothing but ones and burnt though everything just trying to get passing rolls.
There's only really a limited number of times you can play it, due to knowing whats going to happen.
There is, however several smallish stories that apparently make up a campaign...
At first I thought the minis were made of
HIPS as they were quite rigid, but when I tried to remove mold lines it bacame clear that they're rubbery, so I left them as is.
I think I painted maybe ten of the minis, but in the interests of trying not to spoil myself, I didn't use the cards as reference so I just picked random models and gave what I thought was an appropriate colour scheme.
Because most of the minis are tiny they got a super simple paint job of colour-wash-colour as a highlight.
From the lack of pictures, you can guess that I forgot to take any. I'll make an effort to take some the next time I paint some

Got a new box of Orlock quads as a Christmas present, but seing as I already had two I thought I'd make something new:
Ended up going with a new member of my Ash Wastes Admech.
I put a poll up on my Instagram about what i should run it as
Kataphron, Outrider, the wierd robot horse thing or just a random dude on a quad.
Outrider won so I put together some bits:
I wanted to keep the general shape and feel as an Outrider but also wanted to keep the AdMech weapon set so it wasn't just an Orlock painted red...
So I came up with a Servitor for the gunner:
Servitors generally have a specific task so he doesn't need all the fancy extra limbs a regular ganger has.
Some more cables for guts hanging out and a battery pack to fill the gap:
And some base layers of paint to bring them together:
Sticking to the Stygies VIII scheme, I feel they needs some of the cog markings to move it away from red Orlock.
Oh, I cut the stabby bits off the front because I was gonna replace them with the cattle prods AdMech have, but I don't have any in my bits. May try scratch building one...

Thats all for now, I don't have any new years resolutions because I don't have any focus right now so I'm gonna be bouncing all over the place with hobby stuff...
Maybe I should make a list...
