A reboot as the old thread was tearing itself apart at the seams.

To kick things off, have popped various BattleTech support vehicles off their bases and applied basing material to them.

**Mrangryork**

I'm going to strip some older models I just picked up yesterday, after photographing them so I can redo the same paint scheme but upto slingtly better standards

**Commodus Leitdorf**

RIP old thread, you were too beautiful for this world

Finishing up some Skaven and then I have to spend the rest of the weekend storing a bunch of models I have lying around as my hobby space is an absolute mess.

**ingtaer**

Painting STacs whilst trying to provide emotional support to a fellow mod's hobbying.

**Just Tony**

Gaming wise? Still hammering out Plague Monks a little at a time.

Action figure customization wise? Just purchased a junker non-jacketed Black Knight and a Walgreens exclusive Medusa for my Ultraverse custom project and am waiting for them to arrive. Once they are here Medusa's hair will finish off Foxfire while the REST of Medusa will be going to make Veil. Black Knight's arms will be going onto my jacketed Black Knight with the vest portion of his jacket being set aside for the Ironclad custom I have planned and I will be using the extra Moira MacTaggart hair to give Black Knight the mullet he rocked while leading Ultraforce. THEN I get to decide if I really want to attempt 5 o'clock shadow on Knight's face...

**Captain Brown**

Building some scratch built Eldar Terrain from odds and ends.

Cheers,

CB

**Adrassil**

Spoiler:

Ahh, man, your Eldar scratch built buildings and such are so cool. Too lazy to try it myself, lol

**Da Boss**

Hah, I love those Eldar buildings. Great stuff.

Putting sand on bases today. Might assemble some of my Matsudan as well, but I think hobby time is gonna get limited because the in laws are coming for a visit!

**Adrassil**

Did some more progress on the new Attelus and couple of other minis, too.

**Captain Brown**

Thanks Adrassil and Da Boss

Finished with a simple sponge paint and some cut of clips and plastic jewels.

Cheers,

CB

**Ashiraya**

With the Trygon done, tonight begins work on some Despoilers! I gave them a lot of equipment, so expecting a few nights of pre-assembly cleanup.

**Mrangryork**

I just had my first-ever Warhammer battle! It went pretty well. We were playing Combat Patrol, and we didn't finish the whole game as he already had plans to play a 3,000-point game against some of his friends, but it went well, and I even was able to kill one of his squads of those little Necron bug things (I forget what they're called). I was playing the older Ork Combat Patrol, and he was playing the Necron Combat Patrol. I even got some free Ork Miniatures that someone had donated to the store!

For someone who's never ever had any experience playing, I think it went pretty well!

**Da Boss**

Captain Brown: Looks great!
Mrangryork: Congratulations on your first game. Here's to many more. Also, well done on picking the CORRECT faction.

I sat up late and built a bunch more Matsudan. I've got 9 more to build today.
They were the last sci fi boxes I had left in my Pile, so it'll be great to get them done. Just decided to keep going after building the zombies since I couldn't paint anything just yet.

**Adrassil**

Yeah, those tower things are too cool, Captain Brown.

I finished base painting, mostly, a cute pinup style PanO Fusilier from Infinity. Regretting priming her with Grey Seer, rather than black. PanO might be my secondary faction after JSA as I have a Tech Bee, a Tikbalang and quite a few other minis, so it might make 300pts, but I doubt it.

I also made quite a bit more progress on my new version of Attelus. Happy with how he's looking so far.

**Kid_Kyoto**

Turning an Empire Wizard Wagon into the Sister of Battle Saint's Funeral Procession except it will be for my Adeptus Arbites and use Stormcast Jawas as the mourners.

No I am not kidding about any of this.

**Ashiraya**

Memorians are not Jawas! That title belongs to Watchers in the Dark! Memorians are the hype men (and women).

**Waaagh_Gonads**

Reading one of my 2 RT rule books.

**Dysartes**

Building a Lokhust Heavy Destroyer painting Skitarii Battle-Pilgryms and Darkwater Tokens (and maybe Aleya?), then recording a podcast this evening.

**Da Boss**

Built some kitbashed Matsudan heavy assault and a leader. Used some Grey Knights bits I had left over to give the infantry two swords and made a halberd for the leader.

Was a bit fiddly but with some shaving the marine hands fit nicely onto the matsudan arms. I also stuck some back banners from Dark Eldar Kabalites and the Raider kit onto them to make them look a bit more samurai.

Managed to cut my index finger on my left hand three times in exactly the same place due to my fantastic knife technique.

**ccs**

Going to build a platoon of Japanese tanks for Flames of War & maybe get a small game of 40k in.

**carlos13th**

Build another squad of Krieg with tiny legend heads this week alongside a few bolter Krieg from tiny legend.

Once everything is dried need to clear some mould lines

Guys in blue are on my to paint do list

**Da Boss**

Finished off my matsudan assembly. Phew! I like the designs on the models but I disliked the assembly, so I'm glad that's over.

As expected, in laws visiting has eaten available time but I'm going to try to keep doing a bit every day.

**ccs**

5 Japanese Type4 Chi-To tanks for Flames of War built & base coated.

**nedsta**

This week I have mostly been adding brass colours to my Warlord and painting a few more marines and guardsmen for the base. Was about to undercoat the armour but my compressor shuffled off it's mortal coil after 15 years of loyal service.

**tauist**

Built my first LI Whirlwind. Still struggling to find some place where I can use my airbrush, so painting projects arent really progressing at the mo

**Adrassil**

Made a lot of progress on my new version of Attelus' miniature. Pretty happy with him so far.

**Crispy78**

Did a bit more work on the bust I currently have in progress - Magnus the Outsider Bard clicky. Trying to add some texture to his black leather vest. Not sure if it's quite worked, but it's OK.

Also started work on my Foul Flatmates (Richie and Eddie from Bottom) from Crooked Dice - clicky

**Skywave**

After ordering some grass tufts, I finally updated the bases of a unit for Old World! Pretty happy with the look there.

**Mrangryork**

I'll be stripping in 1993 Chaos Space Marine with a plasma gun so I can get to work on my hunter/hunted submission, as well as finishing getting the little flecks of paint out of all the crevices of my old second edition Marines I just stripped

**Adrassil**

Had the kid's game day today. We played Grimdark Future: Firefight. Used my new version of Attelus Kaltos, and he didn't do too bad, new model syndrome didn't hurt him too much. But he should've done better, statistically speaking. Was fun. When I got home I made sure to fix the broken finger of "Pointy Guy" a Stormtrooper proxy I bought from Etsy who in a pointing pose that the kids meme'd into being a god and love for some reason. I broke off his finger while painting him ages back and replaced it with green stuff which had been threating to fall off for months and it finally happened today. So, when I got home I made damned frigging sure to re green stuff his finger or there would be hell to pay, lol. Then I painted Attelus' new mini a bit more.
