Started work on converting some Seraphim to Gemini. Did not go so well, so going to try again.

Cheers,

Outing for my Orks, third time out, first victory, on VP in one of the Chapter Approved scenarios.. very close game though

Magnetised my nurgling bases. Now totally finished.

Did lots of work on my Typhus. All Base layers done...except for the flies. Still trying to work out what to do about these.

Cleaning up movie Flash, Gordon and the SWAT team, and maybe finishing off Knightfall Batman, Bat-Mite and Flashpoint Batman

Continuing to paint Cawl and my SoB exorcist. Both of these models have become a slog. Another couple of sittings and they'll be done though.

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...

Ordered some resin parts for a tank project.

Cheers,

Making objective markers,made and painted 8 concrete themed bases and made 6 industrial-mesh bases likely paint them later tonight,undercoated 7 battletech vehicles while i was at it.

Some highlights, detail work and gems on a unit of 10 Vigilators. If I'm lucky, I'll also be able to get the first layer of basing glued down before bed.

Assembled eight Chaos Bezerkers obtained cheaply, lacking backpacks but actually they don't look too bad as is so may paint and retrofit later.

Made more Objective markers with the 6 industrial bases i painted recently.

Adding grass and then snow to my Vigilators' bases to finish the unit off.

Once that's done, putting some initial base coats on Celestine and the Geminae.

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.

Cheers,

Work on 25 assorted sons of horus. Glued magnet to torso and legs of warhound that are strong enough i can lift it from torso and it stays together.

Making Balsa Wood Pallets and Various size and shaped Crates with Lids.

Took delivery of Escape the Dark Castle. All other hobby plans are now on hold for an indeterminate period.

Finished Bat-Mite and Knightfall Batman, going to hopefully get Flashpoint Batman done tonight

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

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.

Trying to point 1k marines for a tournament

Primered them on Sunday and sprayed high gloss black on all the armor pieces last night. Next is taking care of all the non-armor details.

Finally have my Home office/Painting station setup so now I can actually get to work Painting the minis I got from the Conan Kickstarter.

Most of the evening will be spent running Starfinder, but I'm hoping to find a few minutes before bed to paint the Abaddon Black parts of Celestine and the Geminae.

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.

Bolt Action night at the local shop.

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.
