Started building the Warmachine minis I got in the 2-player box last week. I've got both Warcasters and all 6 Warjacks built. I'm waiting until I've practiced painting a bit on some cheap army men before I do any work on my minis, though.

Started building a box of assault marines that I found hiding under a stack of sprues

Had a game of 40k, my nids raising the silver medal at the end

well the survivors raising the silver medal at any rate, to be fair they didn't have to share it around very far

also assembled a further 20 Hormagaunts

Played Forgebane with my brother yesterday. I think we did some things wrong as the Necrons were doing way too well, but we had fun and whatnot, hopefully a rematch next weekend where we do things properly and maybe replace the Armigers with a regular Imperial Knight.

Today I spent some time priming armour panels for an Imperial Knight Paladin, along with some choice skulls from the skulls pack to use as trophies on the thing.

A long lost Seraphim Sister Superior showed up on Friday in the mail.

Orks, orks, then some more orks. Need to get 30 kommandos(not even sent yet from store), 15 stormboyz, some 35 grots including crew for 3 mek guns, some boyz and dozen tank busta or so at least in a month or so painted and based.

I'll get a better picture tonight, but I painted up this guy. High Gloss black plus a light coat of GreenStuffWorld's Red Goblin metallics on the statuary

Assembling my Khorne Bloodbound box and deciding on 1000 points of White Scars to build towards.

Just made a payment for some more Sisters of Battle on the Swap Shop.

Cheers,

Painted skins on these plus 3 different flame patterns. Not sure am i happy on any. Comments?

I don't like the far right one. - I think the black parts of it really interrupt the image

Yeah that's my least favourite as well. Guess the masking wasn't as good as I thought after all. also realized probably whole bottom should be covered in flames with gaps between individual leaps on up.

Will be trying again on 3rd one today and if that works redo these 2 as well to similar style.

If this can work should be sufficiently "clan free" mek gunz. I have multiple clans but I want to try to avoid some of the more expensive stuff from being clan-coded. Especially stuff like KMK's that are one of the few units orks have that work so that I don't need to bring specific clan always to field them(future proofing for codex). Black leans towad goff BUT I will make damn sure they don't have white checkerboard pattern and flames is something none of my goffs have(nor will obviously get).

Already got hurt by stuff like killa kans I have 6 in dethskull colours, 2 on bad moons and 3 on goffs. With codex using all 11 will be fun juggling!

It's surprisingly hard to figure out clan-free colour scheme! The 6 clans cover quite an area of colour schemes that I can think for orks! Whatever I come up easily reminds one of them...

Currently working on a cheap way to add more shelves to my display case for my minis. Plastic Shelf seems to be dipping due to weight, so making a mini terrain piece pillar to hold it up.

Selling stuff. Ebay has been kind of lucrative of late.

I'm on patch deployment duty (which for a developer manages to be both critical, stressful, and absolutely boring).

I'm hoping to sneak around and get some primering done with my new airbrush hood.

Primed 18 genestealer

First 2 stages of red parts of stormboyz, final layer of skin for grots, did third attempt for mek gun and primed and put up grey coat for some tank bustas(prime black, then light grey to ease up painting green).

Then started working on land speeder storm+deth kopta+plasticard=chinork conversion.


edit: Oh and assembled weirdboy. Love the grots trying to hold on with chains of the crazy psyker!

Primed some 6mm cataphracts to go with my 6mm pikemen.
One more unit and basing till my 6mm Alexandrians/Seleucids are done.

Had a bit of a break in the weather finally, so I got a bunch of stuff primed. I'm also assembling a Riptide Battlesuit for my Tau forces.

Assembling Clear flight bases for my DA Air Wing. I'm now three 40mm flight bases away from an entirely rebased army. Unfortunately for me I ordered the 40mm flight bases without pegs :p

18 genestealers base painted and washed, 20 hormagaunts primed...

Continuing the liquidation of my stocks.

So far I'm down 25 Dark Reapers, 6 Fire Dragons, 9 Inceptors, 2 Flames of War armies, and I'm gathering up all my Battlefleet Gothic stuff.

Tonight I might sit down and start assembling some more of my new Team Yankee army.

Picked up some metal Sisters of Battle from the post sent by another DakkaDakka member Desubot. A recommended member to trade with.

Although this means I have 8 more models to paint.

Cheers,

CB

It is wizard painting day.

Continue work on these plus prime and airbrush skin on some nobz and tank bustas

Finished these. Next up inventory of boyz i have. Need to know how to assemble boyz i get and how many i need for the 120 i need on next tournament

Game today, 40k @2k, pre-FAQ rules as practice for an upcoming event.

My Tyranids managed to bring home the silver medal against Dark Angels.

Struggling to hurt T5 stuff as usual, but not helped by failing about half the Psi rolls, and failing 6" charges, then failing the re-roll, and failing most of the saves...

meh, such happens, would have lost this one likely anyway but learnt a fair bit so not too fussed.

like 150+ tyranids can deny Dark Talon T1 overflights easily enough, and Rippers are good for sticking on the upper floors of ruins to prevent sneaky attempts to get round the ground carpet.

It could be considered slightly disheartening to have managed two charges beyond 2" in the entire game, but everyone gets days like that

Spent some time painting and planning a future conversion, if the mini ever shows up that is..

do you have any confrontation on your ebay?

Trying to remember how to use bits, knives, glue, paint and dakka itself... 3 years since I last used any of those
