Actually managed to play a game, my orks defeating mechanised IG at 1,250 points

**War Kitten**

Waffling over whether I want to start Dark Eldar or Chaos.

So many cool models I want.

**tneva82**

Last night primed 13 boyz and 15 scions who also got 3 stage metal for armour plates with zenith highlight attempt ready for transparent green airbrushed. Also highlighted skin for about 30 orks with 15 or so left. Found also missing IG troopers and box of orks I could have swore I had but hadn't seen for a while(yey!).

Today plan is to do that green coat for scion armour plates, finish highlighting and base coat skin of whole bunch of orks(thank you airbrush). Oh and maybe sort out exactly what that box of orks had. Nob bikes and burna boyz plus unpainted boyz but how many is the ?. Did think I was oddly low with boyz.

Pulled the Nephilim fighter from the simple green after a 2 day soak and it wasn't enough for the canopy glass *sigh*. Unfortunately I was an idiot and dumped the simple green after seeing the effect on the model's paint.

Going to proceed anyway. I'll put the glass aside until I get more 'green and start with painting the rest of the fighter with Black 2.0. I'm hoping it'll cure by my game monday.

**infinite_array**

I'm planning to finish up Barca for my Gangs of Rome, er... gang, which'll give me 6 fighters and a dominus. Then I'll try to bang out the rest of my German Heavy Infantry for Konflikt 47 for a game on Saturday.

**leopard**

Bit more on some boys and a minor conversion to a nob to lead some tank bustas (basically put small rockets on two slugga)

**Compel**

First adventure completed and... I didn't die.

I got knocked unconscious for ages, but didn't die.

Though we did nearly get eaten by an army of goblin hunters as we hid to lick our wounds after a particularly tough fight...

**Stevefamine**

Painting Warmachine, haven't done that in a bit

Weird change from Tau / Sci Fi

**tneva82**

Busy day. Finished highlighting skin for 49 orks, started work on 58 bases(I had to be out of my mind when I initially came with this base design. Takes ages to do and this goes for two horde armies...Orks and IG...), put in with airbrush first stage for two dozen or so IG trooper and started painting one scion to test out colour scheme which involves not only new(for me) way to paint armour but also colour for cloth I have yet to use pretty much anywhere.

Oh and I did quick&dirty army lists for IG and orks that amounts about all I have(or that I at least remembered) including stuff that I have ordered but not yet received. Got:

Orks 407 power level, 6712 or so points.
IG: 279 power levels, 5017 or so points(for Imperium I also have whole bunch of blood angel and dark angel power armour guys plus 2 knights)

Model count is hundreds(there's 210 ork boyz alone. Due to the 8th ed pretty much quaranteed ork clans I need lots of these since few years ago I decided to collect mixture of all clans...I still need few hundred boyz!)

**Rybrook**

Finally worked out 2 kill teams for SW:A
Using the Orks from the AoBR box and a squad of steel legion

Now just need a 4'x4' board

**squilverine**

Making a start on painting Typhus for my Death Guard army. I may break this up by assembling some pox walkers and marines

**amazingturtles**

I am painting up a vedros dread. I'm sure someone else has done this, probably more than one someone, but i'm also working making a few quick profiles using the vedros rules for other factions. I want to try playing a game with my little nephews.

**Rygnan**

Putting paint on the last of my Brave and the Bold, so that I can get to working on my Rogues crew. Just have Rick Flag, Etrigan, Jason Blood and Raven to go, so I'm nearing the finish line, although I'll probably do Arkham Knight at the same time

**Seawolf**

Currently working on Imperial Stormtroopers, and Darth Vader....

I think by the time I get done with this, I am not going to be that afraid of painting white paint schemes.

**BrookM**

Working on the Ad-Mech contents of Forgebane, decided to take a short break from the second Armiger and primed the Skitarii and robo-pope last night, started blocking in the bionics and other metal parts with boltgun metal now.

After that, back to painting yellow on the Armiger.

**Madoho**

Doing some bubble hunting on the meka dread in the lovely, but overdue weather in Denmark.

Also using the opportunity to further sculpt my soon to be mek boss.

**leopard**

game of SAGA 2nd edition at FLGS, victory to the Normans over the Vikings

**tneva82**

Finished batch of boys ready for basing. I do bases separatelw and then need to cut these off bases.

Second pic shows kitbashed mek with force field and wyrdboy. Plus ork boy thinking to waaagh or not to waagh recreating scene by famous orkspheare.

**ZergSmasher**

Finally getting started on painting my Assassins, and also assembling some Dark Angels stuff.

**Turnip Jedi**

Nearly finished the last of the resin scenery I picked up at the local convention last year, with a full month before this years show

**ChargerIIC**

So I did the Black 2.0 on my Nephilim fighter. (pics to follow). It's not even the blackest black in my paint collection. Serious disappointment. I've primered a Dark Talon - going to airbrush it next with the high gloss black.

**deathwinguk**

In Manchester on work so went along to the GW store. Loads of display cabinets and 5 gaming tables! Played my first two rounds of WH40K 8th edition and had a painting tutorial from one of the guys in the store. Walked away with my first painted Primaris Space Marine and the Citadel Essentials box to paint all my First Strike Ultramarines and Death Guard

**Rybrook**

Finally primed the underhive scum using the skull white spray, not a good idea to use the 10yr old tin, the propellant had evaporated and was spitting the paint out but I just managed to get the minis covered

I thinks its time for me to get new undercoat :p

**Elbows**

Finishing painting and dipped a troll...now working on converting an MDF building into something more worthy of Mordheim --- if I can get it painted, I'll use it next weekend (Mordheim road trip!)

**War Kitten**

Staring at my pile of unpainted MK 3 Marines and kicking myself for putting off building and painting them for so long

**ChargerIIC**

Pics of my Black 2.0 fighter. I'm pretty disappointed. Going to do the next fighter in Gloss Black and Red and dream of a working vantablack alternative in the future:

...

**Captain Brown**

Did some more painting. Again mostly grey and white.

Cheers,

CB

**Desubot**

Attempting to sneakally paint some rats at work today.

**ChargerIIC**

Reassembling my fighters that fell on the cement outside the FLGS

Painting the Dark Talon in preperation for the incoming paint.

**leopard**

Game of Armada, Fishshtick lost (again), but in campaign terms didn't do too badly, doing nearly as much damage to the enemy while preserving his own fleet only losing more easily repaired craft.

Enemy have a decent repair bill second round running with a carrier going down plus a few fighter squadrons (inc. Vader) while we need to repair a corvette, another that was already damaged and a frigate... will take that even though the raid itself was a loss.

Campaign games.. love them, they play soooo differently when stuff surviving matters

Also my DBMM rulebook arrived with the Book 3 army lists alongside it to keep it warm
