Received Sly Marbo from my secret santa. Going to assemble him and finish painting my test reviers.
Of course to do that I have to decide if the list will be straight Dark Angels or Dark Angels/Iron hands. Decisions, Decisions...

Finished building the chaos side of the DV box for Mrs L, and later priming them to be painting in a slightly non-typical colour scheme involving purple..
Put together and primed another squad of sisters of silence for myself and started painting a metal bloodletter on juggernaught thats been sitting on the paint desk assembled and primed for about six years

Second attempt converting some Seraphim to Gemini. I think I need to add some spacers to make their swords look longer. If anyone has a Seraphim Superior they would like to part with, I am interested.

I spent most of yesterday clearing out the side board in my office and taking it to the charity shop. I now have a Kitchen table covered in boxes of half finished and unopened projects. Today's job is to put together 2 new book cases to house them all. If I do get any extra time I'll continue painting Mortarion, who is just past the shading stage.

Down to FLGS, Mrs L is starting to paint up her Nurgle bits from the DV starter - the big drone thingy now has a base gold for its trim, she's also using a daemon prince model, thats got more paint on it than a council house, as a test model.
Gold trim for the armour and ribs in the wings done as base, wash, dry brush, then the wing material in hexed lichen as a base over the black to help warlock purple cover, though will need a second coat.
Odd colours for Nurgle, but figured why not - basically take the normal scheme and swap the green tones for purple ones
Meanwhile I pre-ordered the banana codex, cards and captain-general model, plus Greyfax to run with sisters of silence

Pustulating Plague Priest
|
I want to try and put a sort of RPG tool together, inspired by the nemesis system from the Shadow of Mordor games.
Essentially, it would simulate the actions of the villains as the party members adventure (usually after something like clearing a dungeon). This could lead to situations such as the villain taking over the party’s home base, or eliminating a rival villain. It would also come from randomized tables, so this would give the GM a bit less busywork.
I also want to add a sort of rank to the villains. This would have two goals. The first, would be to show whether the villains become even stronger and more significant in the plot (if the rank increases), or if the villain is having some doubts of their actions (if the rank decreases). This would also be something the GM would not be able to predict, giving something for the GM to be excited about.
The second goal, is to give random mooks that cause the party significant grief a chance to become more prominent characters in the campaign. If an orc archer manages to knock half the party unconscious, they would surely show a higher level of skill than the other mooks.

Working on the wraithknight of my new eldar army. . . will probably do some spraying today, but still waffling/deciding on whether to do some extra work on the head for a midnight insomniac idea I had for it.

Started working on part of my Dark Angels. I am basically working on a DV set plus a set of DWK. I based them and base coated them. I'm really happy to be done the build stage. I really enjoy the painting a lot more than the building. I've tried to be diligent with the build and file/greenstuff everything. I've realized that I need some better tools for handling greenstuff. I find that it sticks to my dental tools, which makes it really hard to work with.
It's funny how whenever I'm working on a project I basically treat that as a green light to start planning my next project. I jumped in and bought a Tomb Kings army that I will add to when I finish my DA.

Couldn't get a game in last night (ran out of tables) so I spent some time getting a leg up on the detail work. I feel good about the high gloss black, but just need a high gloss sealent to finish it off.
Continuing detail work. Tonight will be tiny red stripes. I hate stripes.

Well fingers crossed later tonight il will be making a start on the newish plastic king tiger from warlord games.
Should be fun, built the wirbelwind and hetzer over the weekend. Can tell the hetzer is an older resin kit with the little lumps and bumps in the casting. The wirbelwind was fantastic, nice and crisp with no defects at all.
Although the quad cannon barrels did need holding while the guns set in place as they were able to move a bit too much.

The local Test of Honour campaign night got cancelled due to illness striking down the store owner's family, so I'm going to finish assembling a squad of Germans to finish the Konflikt 47 starter set I was given. Then I'm going to break out the Ancient British I was painting for DBA and continue chipping away at them.
