Started on converting a pair of Sisters of Battle. Speaking of which is there any Sister's players that want to trade helmeted for non-helmeted? I have three Sisters with helmets left and am willing to trade straight across for three without. (2 Heavy Weapons figures and 1 Storm Bolter)

If you look at my painted Sisters army there are no helmets as it was easier to pick up models without. So I have kept that style since.

Painting up 20 termagants, just need the highlighting and bases to finish, ditto three more stands of rippers (17 stands now!). plus a bit more work on the last 8 ork boyz.

Bit of work on some Carnifexen

Have been building the mdf terrain for the last couple of evenings

Some finishing touches on my Sisters of Silence - basing, a bit of additional work on the skin to make it match my other units and some transfers and weathering on the Rhinos.

Converted 9 Warlord Caesar's Legion Romans into post apocalypse Fallout Caesar's Legion to use in This Is Not A Test. Looking forward to playing it, but it won't be with painted models as I have 2 big assignments coming up for uni. Hobby is taking a hit because of it, but what can I do

Converted a Sisters of Battle Seraphim Superior to have a Bolt Pistol over the Plasma Pistol to make a second Gemini.

Assembling the new ALEPH and ISS I just got at the club during a game.

Staring longingly at everything I want to paint while revising for exams.... Ugh.

Testing out a new paint scheme for my Ultramarines, and contemplating painting a few Imperial Fists to try my hand at yellow

I'm arming some Hive Gangers with Plasma Guns

bit more on some orks, plus base rim details on a stack of genestealers and some brood markings of a few more gaunts

Built and primed some Infinity and painted Nicodem, Mortimer and the vulture. Which completes the models I wanted for Ressers (Tara, Molly and Nicodem).

Put together some Tempestus Scions for my custom Guard Regiment.

Working on my own tokens for DFC ground and launch assets.

Continued painting dakkajet, 20 grots, weirdboy, 4 tankbustas, nob and 12 boyz. After this MOST of infantry I need for 20th day tournament is done bar basing(still need at least 4 tank bustas and 2 squig bombs done plus vehicles)

I'm going to finish my 15mm Romans. Then it's a couple quick pieces for my Gangs of Rome and Konflikt 47 projects, and then on to the big project - 10mm Ogre Kingdoms for Warmaster Revolution:

Found these guys buried with my 30-year old GW Genestealers, so painted them up with some INSTAR paint's metallics. INSTAR is a new UK paint line by a professional paint company that matches existing paints. They're creating a line of paints that match discontinued and existing (?) GW paints. They offer a 10ml size, for any paints you don't use much of.

Slat armour. You too can turn your perfectly nice BMD into a shopping trolley with its simple application!

Playing in a two game 2k local 40k inter-club challenge..

on the winning team for once, sizeable win in one game, narrower defeat in the other

great day though

Finally painted my last flyer and two agressors. I have to go over each models and add detail now - I'm happier with the 'busier' detailed theme than I thought.

Had one of the most epic games of 40K ever. Had things happen that just never happened before. Likely due to terrain.

It reminded me why impassable terrain is awesome. The table was so crammed that if it wasn't for the cards we drew from the Open War Deck, we wouldn't even be able to come close to fitting our armies on. Ended up with the column vs front deployment and meeting engagement. As well as supply cache.

2K point game, Craftworld vs Dark Angels. Yes, we used 7th rules but no formations, those are total jokes too, like "mortal wounds bs", because 8th is a silly place, like Camelot, where they have to push the pram-a-lot.

We also agreed to allow deep-strike in the later groups after group 1 in the "meeting engagement".

The table was setup with a bunch of basalt terrain with a canyon with impassable terrain walls on both sides and an opening on the opponents side and on my side. We deployed and both used our infiltrate rules to move into an objective so that turn one would reveal all objectives. I got first turn and none of mine were the cache so up the board we went.

My Captain, Interrogator Chaplain, were with a combat squad of bolters and a sergeant. Their goal was to tie up the eldar center that was backed up by the Avatar of Khain. I knew it would hurt but I had to keep that Avatar tied up and away from wherever the supply cache was. Plasma Cannon and Grav came in and tore up the place a bit, weakening the deployed eldar significantly, including two wounds on the avatar. This included popping the wave serpent with the wraithblades and taking down 3 of them bastards.

The eldar moved up in their turn with the avatar and wraithblades with their save increased to 2+ from the spirit seer. They charged into my tarpit and the avatar took my chaplain to one wound. The spiritseer did jack all, then one of the wraithblades finished off the chaplain and put some wounds on my captain.

They also rolled their objectives and the last objective was the one in the middle of the canyon. The epic was about to begin with the striking scorpions holding that objective.

Well over time everything started piling into the canyon with me using a drop pod to block off the eldar side of the canyon, but that didn't stop his dancing jetbikes going up and down and up and down the impassable terrain to poke at me. A venerable dread ripped a guardian squad apart and half a squad of dire avengers. Then the hero of the battle appeared. My blackknight command squad had one survivor, the apothecary. Who through amazing rolls proceeded through the battle to shoot down a wave serpent, blowing it up, 6 in blast, a fire prism, blowing it up as well, one shot each vehicle. Insane. And taking out two jet bikes before killing himself with plasma overheat. MVP stuff there. But our vehicles this battle kept blowing up. My venerable blew up, also 6 inches. His viper blew up also six inches. It was pure mayhem. My librarian took down his avatar after it killed it's way through two combat squads of tar and my chaplain and my captain.

For the first time ever I got a crossfire (drop-pod) blocking the canyon escape for a squad of dire avengers.

In the end it was a single model scatbike and a two model scatbike squad with his farseer on one wound facing down my Deathwing termies who were lucky and tough this game and one lone tactical squad dude.

As both of us had objective secured on the objective it was a draw.

Epic, explosive, and bloody. I think that impassable terrain is awesome and really added some zest to this battle with the close packed hell of the canyon which was only wide enough for a drop-pod or 4 marines abreast. Assault Marines and Jet bikes played a huge role as did the explody vehicles.

Also, my scouts did jack all the whole game.. lol. Still. It was arguable one of the most exciting games because of the restricted movement and being out of position and the bum rush for the objective and the last turn a doomed squad of three tacticals being scatter lasered down to one guy who had to re-roll 4 successful saves to keep it a draw and not a loss.

Fun.

Assembling some figures and bits for a trade.

Cheers,

Will be leading out orks against slaanesh daemons in 1000 pts game(well 1003 for her). After facing gunlines 3/3 in tournament my orks are itching for good in your face game and I think slaanesh daemons aren't known for falling back and shooting so it should be good 'un!

A couple more hours painting up my Primaris Crimson Fists. Almost half a company finished now.

I thought I was done with daemons, but a friend of mine doesn't think he'll be playing silver tower again and gave me one of the horrors (makes a nice herald). Finished that up, so I'm done with daemons. AGAIN.
Now on to my pathfinder red dragon (Reaper), finally

Played all the WH40K First Strike missions (twice each swapping who played Death Guard and Ultramarines) over 4 hours with a mate today.

Funniest moment was when the Plague Champion rolled a double 1 while supercharging his plasma gun on turn 1
