Gravestone and WIP gravestone mimic from the FP Mimics Invasion Set. I'm not sure about flesh washes, but they make very good disgusting mouths for mimics, at least...

Started another pair too, an Invader and a P-38 both with a silver base so far.

So I ended up winning the local AoS league after a disastrous start. Ended up surviving placements due to a number of players dropping out, then proceeded to take narrow victories all through the final heat against some great opponents, capped off with a rematch against the Bretonian player who I'd played at the start, this time properly knowing my army.
Then I went ahead and signed up for the next one. Reworked the list a bit, keeping the branchwych on a balewind vortex, looking for a good model to use as a base to convert a crazy swamp-dwelling lore master.

Grandfather clock and grandfather mimic figures! Fine for tabletop, but that clock face needs work. I just realized upon posting that I should cheat and, instead of painting in the details of that clock face, I should just print out a reduce-sized clock face and stick it on the clock! The players won't notice the difference when I put the clock in -- what's a clock doing in a dungeon, anyway???
The mimics are made by Forge Prints. BTW, Their Adventurescapes KS terrain and game tiles has only a few more days to go. Docks, tavern, and alchemist's dungeon lair. $75 per set.

So I didn't do this today (sorry, bending the rules!) but this is probably the right thread to post it in. I managed to start doing some simple digital art, just to test out the app, and this is what I came up within a few minutes:
It's a Primarus head, using one of my own models as a reference. It was drawn out with my finger, which quickly hurt like hell. Looking at it, I think the perspective is a little off. Got to work on that. I plan to pick up the pencil this weekend, which will hopefully allow me to do more neat, tidy and detailed work.

Trawling the Russian and Ukrainian internet to find out information about their current military tech. The Ukrainian Wikipedia is surprisingly helpful when it comes to specific numbers of vehicles (though it doesn't go into the nuanced upgrade kits). Meanwhile the English version is like "T-80 - the Ukrainians use it." ...So ah, the original one, or one of the umpteen variants?
The hell of wanting to make an accurate forces for modern wargames. I'm going for accurate organisations and equipment - so OP as feth in any actual wargame (1 LMG/ MMG, 3 RPGs and 2 UBGL in a 7 man Russian squad... The Ukrainians double down on MGs).

Eh, the advantage is you can also justify damn near anything in a modern wargame. I agree though - it's a tough thing to do, particularly in a foreign language or on the other side of what was once a curtain of iron-influence.

Took a look at my empire army; I thought I was done when I finished painting those horses, but it turns out I had also assembled a unit of Pistolliers.
The models were base coated chocolate over a greyscale prime, with some metal and flesh picked out. The bases are sanded but left primed. These are models I'll have to put some more paint on to, because the modelling work is pretty unique and it would be a shame to leave them as is.
After that I checked through my Cadian battalion + sundries.
I figure I can squeeze out 35 cadians, a commissar, 5 storm troopers (or perhaps a carapace armoured command squad?) 3 ogryns and 2 sentinels.
In the night hours I finished off my 28mm APC low detail cardstock templates.

Pics to back up my claims of hobby: Did a quick paper mock up of the low rez 28mm apc template I've been drawing up. The plan is to use the template to create the sections from thicker stock and assemble (with some internal reinforcement to prevent warping, of course). Detail can be added with emboss, carve or additional panelling as well as further scratch building, bits and painting! The design is derived from a variety of sources, including real world machines. Vertical side and back with sloped front and narrow windscreen seem to be the standard APC design. I also made a group shot for the Black Legion contingent of my Black Crusade. Unfortunately with a couple of decades under my belt I still paint armies like a ten year old!

Picked up a new saw and a few chisels, as a result finally made a start on my new work bench. two of the three end frames are assembled (its going to be an L shape), third will be tomorrow.
Also cut the first of the table support beams, need to find a file to get some of the joints to fit, the garage is dark and scary so thats waiting until tomorrow as well.
Hope to get to the point of fitting the deck by the weekend.
Think 8' tall monster, 2' deep desk 6'x6' in an L as the lowest level, 6" high shelf 14" deep just above it for paint caddies etc, space under for stuff to lurk in, lose stuff in, moths, slugs and other odds and sods.
18" above that is going to be a shelf sized to store KR cases on end, and 18" above that another the same for other storage boxes.
The uprights are tall enough it may get a further shelf above that.
Dedicated spray area at one end, then on the "L" space for my work laptop when working from home...

Desk just about finished, need three more sheets of MDF to put the deck on the top level of shelving, and the materials to make a lower shelf for my paint chests to sit on.
Moved a chair in and its a nice working height, likely to need some more lighting though.
Who knows, later this week I may actually be able to build and paint something again

Got the lighting installed on my desk, the calibrate built half the marines from the 40k starter set.
have to say they are growing on me, a lot less cluttered than some other marine models which appeals (the bling on the normal ones stays in the box anyway for me) and while they are all mono-pose, the pose works.
Thinking a semi-napoleonic colour scheme for them, warm white and bright red, trimmed brass (gold for officers) with black detailing. need to have a think

Last night worked on bases, bit more on justicaerin, assembled 2 blood angel rhino(minus tracks I paint separately) and predator up to point I need to start putting in resin pieces that are still in process of either being cleaned or drying up and did first attempts to paint blood angel armour with preshading technique. Not 100% sold yet but I think issue was too little white plus careless with airbrush usage leaving dots here and there(forgot to turn off paint flow before cutting airflow and then started next go pointing toward model).
Today less time but hoping to work on assembling predator and paint some more blood angels and continue with bases. Slow and steady. Getting home between 7-8pm puts dent on hobby time. Especially airbrush that I don't want to do that late due to noise issues.

Put on first coat for the two rhino's plus bucket of MKIII and MKIV marines for blood angels and couple terminators. Not too bad result seeing I had less than usual time to do due to going to donate japanese study books.
edit: Also assembled two leaders for the blood angels. Terminator captain was built as is but the power armour one got kitbashed to have MKIII helmet(personal habit for him to use MKIII helmet with MKIV armour!) and not one but TWO close combat weapons! Power sword/paragon blade(depending on do I have points to spare) plus thunder hammer. Not most effective options but I like the look

My choices are, Orkz, Necronz, Eldar, Dark Eldar, Chaos Space Marines, and lastly, Space Wolves
From there, We will try and make our tables to role off of, and hopefully this will lead to our creation of our armies.

Put in 2 coats of red to blood angels. Seems I was too cautious with white previous though as armour is generally kinda dark. Need to think if I could brighten them up a bit.
Worked bit more on SoH terminators with cataphractii armour and with blood angels running short on bases started working on about 49(if I counted right) bases. That ought to cover most.
I'm almost out with Sons of Horuses to paint. Once these termies(almost done) are finished I really have just half done librarian, half done contemptator, 2 half done rhino's and unassembled reaver squad left. So leaves me free to concentrate on Blood Angels and Custodians.

Also built a second priest. My guardsmen may have crappy shooting, but charge them at your own risk BwHaHahaha

Played 1k points of 40k.
My GSC versus my buddy's Death Guard.
We used Open War cards because they are awesome.
Lucked up and got a hold the mobile objective marker mission. Sneaked in with the my patriarch, snatched the maguffin and successfully kept him alive with it long enough to win the game. My buddy drew a nasty comeback card that could have ruined it as he lost Typhus to a horde of genestealers only to bring him back the very next turn.

After a few weeks of no hobby time (depression and seasonal affective disorder "yay") I've been able to spend a little bit of time working on some minis from Ironclad Miniatures Sanwar range.

Hmm have to look around though I suspect it's too expensive for my budget.
Anyway I have been working on 51 or so bases and also started working on repositioning of pair of custodian legs. Goal is to make HQ that is keeping one leg on high rock(base in question not the final one but height was right so used it temporarily).
Most ambitious conversion I'm planning. Quite likely it ends up with wasted legs so I already ordered new ones so I can still build custodian even if this one gets wasted : lol: along with rest of bits I'll be using.

How does using the Ultrasonic Cleaner work as a paint stripper? Do you have to use any chemicals first?
Went to the FLGS for a Bullgryn box, but it had been sent to the owner's other store. Instead bought and built a wyvern overnight so I could finally field a pure AM list at 2k points.

Assembled bunch of custodians, worked more on the legs for HQ conversion(think I'll keep this. It won't be pretty and you can see it's my conversion but hopefully not too bad and pose makes it distinctive HQ model. Now just need to wait for remaining bits I need). Base coated new bases and cursed when I ran out of thinner and black. That sucks. Especially when you have 2 weeks delivery time for new...

This little guy is progressing. Blutack holding up so far. Head is provisional one until bitz order comes which also contains power fist for his left arm. I decided to swap arms so shield is on right arm, power fist(or the custodian version of it) on left. Left armed Custodian! Should help separate him from basic guys since I can't do anything really ambitious. Even this one is pushing my converting abilities below. This guy won't look too pretty if you look too close

Helping a bunch of nine year old gamers learn how to paint miniatures.
I was expecting four - the kids in my Kids of War game - but instead.... nine. And one of them is not in any of my games.
Teaching them the Dip method - cheap craft paints and brushes, not our good hobby paints, and a can of Walnut for the dip.
Should give good enough results, quick enough, that I will be able to get 'em hooked.
*EDIT* Miniatures are Reaper Bones, mostly, but one girl is bringing in an ancient box of her father's single posed plastic Chaos Dwarfs - the miniatures are older than she is!

Sounds like a fun time Auld Grump, good to hear of younguns getting into the hobby with someone to teach and encourage them.
Tonight I am finally starting to work on the final Sanwar minis I bought from Ironclad Miniatures, the giant lizard cavalry. I think I've definitely saved the most fun minis to paint for last.
