Slopped some wash as the nearly-last step on some GW Isle of Blood elf spear guys. Can never have too many elf spear guys!

Finished gluing together my Rogue Trader Eldar War Walker...well everything but the weapons. I intend to use some more current weapons that the Lascanon and original Scatter laser that came with the model.

Enjoyed a nice little apocalypse game today, 8000 pts...

The Lego Reaver "Para Bellum" was my own army in the mix, and I enjoyed playing it, I managed to kill the stompa at the last turn, punched right through it with 21 damage...

Getting back to painting after not doing more than token amounts this week.

I've got a Deathwing Ancient and Champion on deck, as well as the last Knight of my Household. Hoping to get some good progress done while watching football this afternoon.

Fixing up some metal horrors.

Painting a christmas tree for a christmas style game.

To be played on christmas.

Apoc game, roughly 12k per side IIRC, took Tyranids for my contribution as the planned Thousand Sons were not ready.

They survived the game, which they didn't do last time, they also held their objective for all but one turn before retaking it, which we didn't manage last time.

We even got close to capturing one, Genestealers nearly did the business with Hormogaunts as a tag team - couldn't quite roll well enough to delete some thunderwolves, the 3++ save ant T5 hurt.

Overall great fun though, 8th edition flows vastly better at this scale, just need to get some toys to handle enemy fliers

Made another couple of sets of objective markers,and undercoated a bunch of bits.

Converting an OOP metal Striking Scorpion Exarch so that it has a Scorpion's Claw instead of just the Shuriken Pistol. Very fiddly work on such a small metal model.

[Assembled terminators for sons of horus(waiting resin shoulder pads) and blood angels, made few wall ruins to this stage, assembled 10 sisters of silence, continued painting for 19 soh tacticals, herald and chaplain plus converted standard bearer for those tacticals

Still getting work done on Mortarion, and I just assembled 9 bases of Nurglings. Morty's almost done, just a few small details left, plus his base.

Building some 6mm Vanguard minis, which are superb.

Watching an old episode of League of Gentlemen tonight, I noticed Royston Vaseys charity shop had a copy of Battlecars on the counter.

Doing the basing on a scout squad. Already messed up big time by getting some superglue onto the painted mini but, eh, I was able to fix it. Just a headache.

It was going too well, anyway. Usually my painting projects have a big screw up.

Dusting off and base coating some (192) 6mm Macedonian pikemen.

Making my MK3 marines match the Primaris guys. I put in 1mm as boot soles, 2mm in the upper legs, 1mm in the waste. Brown epoxy putty to smooth things out.

Also decided I'd go with non standard weapon loadouts for my primaris so I made this:



I decided to print sheets and put them in plastic sleeves and put more information on each page so I put stratagems and battleforged abilities like chapter tactics on there as well.

despite how much i truly despise all things primaris, I must say, your paint job is excellent sir!

Thanks! It's actually just Rustoleum 2x Coverage Aluminum spray paint, some acrylics for colour and highlights and then an oil wash like scale modellers use. It was my test model to see if I want to get back into doing space marines. In the end, I decided I'd rather do true scale MK3 than get primaris models.

Been painting Terrain while waiting for Christmas to come.

Painted up my handful of metal horrors, now I have unit champs and an extra herald.

Magnetizing stuff. Plastic contemptators for blood angels with all weapons on magnets. Haven't tested yet but fw weapons might work as well. Same for support squad though ran out of magnets. Also working on knight with magnets

I decided to once again rearrange my hobby space!

why did i do this. why did i choose to do this one christmas day

Or any day

Current Status: Horror.

Today has been quite productive. I've started on my Salamanders lieutenant and I primed my Rhino. Tomorrow Im going to do highlights/details and I should be done with him by Wednesday. I'm shooting for a finished Rhino before 2018!

Started painting a Vindicator. Been sitting on my desk for a couple months, finally decided to get rolling on it.

Managed to get 2 smaller Knights of Dice kits put together today for my Batman board (subway station and electrical pylon). Tomorrow I'm aiming to finish my current Malifaux batch and maybe put a dent in the half done Ten Thunders batch, probably with more terrain building to mix it up

Bit more work on my 30k Thousand Sons, second Tartaros squad finished, bit more work on the command squad

Assembled one of them Tamiya Fuel Barrels & Jerry Cans set,but on the last jerry can,i managed to lose one of the tiny can caps and can't find it.

Was off doing family stuff. Did visit Imperial Hobbies today. but the line ups were so long we left without purchasing anything.

Cheers,

Made some concrete themed bases,painted 20 random bits,made half a dozen objective markers.

Doing oil washings for shading on some nurgle daemons

Yet more on the 15th Legion, finished off a command squad and more or less completed a five man tactical support squad with plasma guns
