finished off the last three marines from the magazine cover, have got the routine down nicely now.

just need to wait until leopardmobile has had an upcoming service and will get around to getting a normal box of interbanananannnas to bring the three small squads of three to a usable size

Returning from a long hobby hiatus and reviewing which of my paints are salvageable.
So far only 20/70. Likely will use the dried up stuff for terrain filler.

Based the Ork Weirdboyz with sand and painted the base. Began the green skin in what looks like a lengthy process.

Starting assembly of another Imperial Knight.

Yesterday got base colours plotted for 30 goff stormboyz-to-be and 21 grots. Also built most of 2 warlord titans until ran out of plastic glue.

Today hoping to finish up the titans(basically the apoc missiles only before I can start painting), do knights and buildings and then if time start washing up the goffs and grots.

I’m hopefully going to continue the base work on my marines and Overlord admiral.

Had a fairly large clean out.


Consolidated my miniature storage and threw out some flattened LOTR and 40k boxes I didnt realise I still had.
Also consolidated empty sprues that were spread throughout various drawers and boxes down to fitting in 1 old beat up Imperial Sector box. Threw the rest in the recycle.

Was able to completely empty an old macragge box, 2 blackreach boxes, and a few rhino sized boxes that had various bits, White Dwarf's and spare LOTR magazines stored in them. So threw those boxes out too.

Collected the LOTR standees from the magazine run that I found and have stored them together now.
Also found a LOTR banner sticker sheet, a small War of the Ring campaign pamphlet I think were a part of the magazine run as well as a GW pamphlet with a few more Gondor/Orc banners on it meant for cutting out.

Also threw out a stack of empty MDF sprues I still had lying around.


Feels good to have a little less crap laying about.

Finally getting back to Hobbying - painted my Primaris Librarian and two reivers, although I forgot to prime the stupid shoulderpads *sigh*

A small cross section of what I’ve been working on:

Build the last 10 guardsmen from Anvil Industry as well as a decked out Predator with Kromlech parts. Great stuff from both companies!

More painting of the Ork Weirdboyz, starting to get most of the base colours finished.

assembled a big mek with a shock attack gun, plus a box of lootas, will get the filler on the base tomorrow night, hopefully with another ten basic boyz built.

on leave from work Thursday - next Wednesday so getting some stuff built and hopefully primed ready

Doing some more painting on my Nurgle Warband. 5 cultists on the table today getting based with browns and greens at the moment. Also doing bits of painting on the endless pile of Poxwalkers I have. Current completion count on them is something like 8/96. it's going to be a long road.

Almost finished painting of the Ork Weirdboyz, a couple of touch-ups and some last highlights to make the model brighter.

Painting Magore's fiends for WU so I'll have more than 1 painted faction to take to the WU release event this weekend.

Letting the madness spread!

Finished painting the Ork Weirdboyz and his Gretchen minders.

Cheers,

I am painting a random little robot i found

primed some looters, a SAG big mek and 10 more orks to paint over the next few days - tend to leave the primer for 24 hours to cure nicely.

may assemble a few more later as off work for the next few days

Converting a couple of SOLO imperial patrol speeders into spaceflight-capable sci-fi buildings ... think Hydrogen Sonatra...

Think I'll start working on titans. They look bare without their armour plates but can't put those on before it's at least mostly painted. While I can play with them prefer to get them looking their job.

Also eager to try out couple new tricks on them! (well new for me)

When I get home from work, I will assess the used assault squad and cut off the shoulder pads to fit the BA ones, then start assembling the second tac squad, making double sure I don’t have a duplicate load out ( as it’s not 93’ and there are no mono pose marines apart from primaris and DG)

while waiting for the primer to cure, and as a way to avoid hoovering the floor, I assembled another 6 boyz (to bring my third unit to full size) and another unit of lootas. will put the base filler on later and prime tomorrow when the earlier lot get their base cloth colour sprayed on.

tempted to start one of the two battle wagons

Worked on my Warlord titan; I've gotten maybe half the feedgates and mold slips done in like 8 hours.

Working on some cultists for my Nurgle Warband. Finished one, and getting close to finishing another 4.

Priming some prototype Rampage KS game tiles!

Started building an oop metal Eldar Wave Serpent. Thank goodness for white tac, as holding the pinned joints without it while the 5 minute epoxy dries would be murder.

Cheers,

Finally finished a 15mm Tamil Indian army for ADLG, just in time for Saturday's tournament. Now I just need to hope the dice and my excellent tactical acumen (i.e., march elephants forward into enemy) are enough to win games.

And on to the next project - a 10mm Warmaster army for mid-November (either an almost completed but completely un-competitive Ogres Kingdom army, or basically untouched but stronger Dogs of War army), and a Slann/Kislev team for a Blood Bowl tournament I'm running at the end of November at PAX Unplugged.

Painting a Hobbit Archer the newest member of my Arnor Battle Company (Middle Earth SBG) for my next game on Saturday with my gf's daughter who's playing Angmar.

Four more cultists finished for the Nurgle Warband.
