Nice. So much going on! Looking forward to seeing the DE and Imperial Assault stuff.

EDC

Thanks EDC! But I'm guessing the Descent and Abyssals will take me through December, and the DE are only a possibility right now, so you may be waiting a long time.

However, I have finally taken pictures of all my DE that are the right way up so they won't be removed. The full gallery: It only took 7 years.

Man your project load just exploded! Looks like we have a lot of stuff to look forward to seeing progress on

I also spied that DE kabalite in there, how'd that sneaky git end up in there? Is it tomorrow yet? I want to see more of him.

Ima not gunna kil da ip add, ima not gunna kil da ip add, ima not gunna KIL DA IP ADD!
Cool it nutty.
Mwrowf. Svarging ip add. On the other hand, Hasslefree.
Really?
Yup, including the Star Wars fan fic you.


Yippee!
Also Artemis needs to go back to school.
Huh?


I, I don't see it. They're great people and included extra minis for a minor delay considering.
"This freebie" is a singular, 3 would be the plural "These freebies"
Pedantic svarger.
Only as self defense.

And sense i was too subtle last time, the old DE:

Edity-edit:

A-Doy! The second "Sensible Shoes" arrived acouple days ago
Doof-boy.

Nice of Hassle Free to give you some free mini as your order was delayed. Not to be sneezed at.

EDC

Looks like you got a metric ton of pewter to be painting. Looks like a real good haul though.

Very clever hiding more DE in there. They can't get past me though. Does seem that a couple of them think that bases are for chumps, they need to be "put in their place". I'm funny I swear.

Oh yeah, they're awesome. I'm just poking fun at the grammar. I ordered these in early October, and TBH if I'm ordering internationally and don't pay for fast shipping I don't get concerned until its been 2 months.

Yeaaah, thems is smaaall piles. However Oathsworn and Hasslefree both top notch sculpts and casts in my opinion and awesome people so they still count as great hauls.

I'm still debating if you've pushed me into buying new GW for the first time in a couple years.

Haha I ain't no pusher. Having said that, seeing what you do with a Talos and some Scourges would be pretty awesome

Oh sweet merciful !
Gee, ya think?
Sooo, New years resolutions:

1) Every monday I post
B) Set weekly goals
3) Try to shrink the backlog (fewer buys & more progress)
D) Don't anger the Succubis
Too late.
D.1) Anymore than already.

So for this week, 1) success! 3) NA, D) Failure, D.1) we'll see.
As for B: FINISH THE SVARG-ING COMISSION!!!1! And this is all that's left.


Also January/February month goal is finish the first round of Abyssals and these guys.


Good news is I have plant-monsters!


Yes, I did count 1, Groot, 3 on the tree-things. The killer-demon-hate-babies are 1, Logan, 3. Why you may ask, because sometimes minis tell you their name and 1 & 2 can look annoyingly similar at times.
But you still don't know mine!
A-doy! That's because you're you!

[Bad British Cop]Ol' roit, less see wot we got[/Bad British Cop]
You're a day early. Disturbing the succubis does not calm her. Quite the opposite in fact.
How about if it's from a cry of "EEEEEHEHEHE! ISDONE! ISDONE! ISDONE! YAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!"
No. That would be a worse idea.
Okey dokey, Descent commisssion is done!


That is good.
And the Imperial Star Fleet Officers for ImpA.


That's better!
And Mysterious Eff and 4 dryads are almost done.
I wasn't aware we had a Mysterious Effigy.
We didn't until last Tuesday.


I am not only mollified, my mood is improved by the disturbance. But what are those metal things I see?
Flames of War, German "Warriors of Market Garden" AKA I may be getting a commission for some FoW stuff and wanted some test dummies.
Ah, logical actions.
Our ancient nemesis.
Yees. Sooo, What's the goal?
The WIP shot above and maybe my entry for the Dakka unofficial monthly painting competition.
That would be???


Sithling Liea and Bodyguard. Resolutions for week 1: A,B, & D1 good. C, Close but justifiable failure. If I ignore the FoW blister and finish Mysterious Eff tomorrow it'll be a success.
Sounds weasel-ey.

Nice work on the Descent commission, it's looking great.

EDC

Good job on the commish and those trekkies look ready for... whatever it is space trek peeps do I space. Lot's on the "to do" table I see which is great, gotta keep you busy

evildrcheese wrote:Nice work on the Descent commission, it's looking great.

Yeah, it was fun and mind numbing at the same time. Of course towards the end I wanted to punt it into orbit.

Inevitable_Faith wrote:Good job on the commish and those trekkies look ready for... whatever it is space trek peeps do I space. Lot's on the "to do" table I see which is great, gotta keep you busy

In this case order about Desert Cammo Stormtroopers and take bullets meant for Darth Hello Kitty Vader.

In other news, It's dull coat day at Chaos Central.

That's a nice spray box, wish I had one with built-in suction. Did you make that yourself or purchase it as-is?

Got it new as a gift a few years ago. It's been well used almost every winter sense then. Unfortunately the hinges are breaking so I can't fold it up anymore.

Okay, things are dry. Lets post some pictures!
The "Shelf of Pride" going to try and fill it this year. Anything I do significant work on and finish this year is going on it. For example the first batch of Abbyssals will go up there once done but the test dummies that are being re-based won't.


Close up of the shelf so far.

Svarg. It's Wednesday.
Uh huh.
Boop.
Ayup.
What were the resolutions again?

Lets see the dammage.



Not too bad.
Except everything is still technically a WiP.
Realy?
Mostly dull coat but re-glossing and blood will be done after. It's been raining and the basement was too humid.
So then resolutions?
Failure, finish the FoW stuff & if at all possible the monthly competition, Technical failure, and up to you.
Not happy, but more disappointed than angry.
So the 10th-16th not so good. Hopefully the 17th-24th will be better.
Here's hoping.

Monday, Wednesday. What's the difference? I like your idea of having a shelf for this years finished projects, great way to keep a tally of your progress.

By the looks of it you have a pretty decent start to 2017, and your WiP pics look to be a great addition. Keep it up

Thanks Inevitable Faith, I look forward to having those WHITE!!! Bloodbrides beat the Sithling and her bodyguard. As for specific re-responses:

On Monday Vs. Wednesday) Its the principle of the thing!
The Shelf of Pride) It was a spur of the moment idea but I like that its a clearly visible tally and challenge. TBH I could probably fill it 2-3 times over with unpainted stuff I own.
2017) It is going fairly well but sometimes it doesn't feel like it.
WiPs) As i said the painted stuff was 90% but the laaast little bit was still required.

And on that note, YAY! ISDONEISDONEISDONE!


Shun the Ultra-smurf Sgt. FerScale! For he is not of 2017!
THERE you are!
Hrmn?
You were being quiet.
Humies was talkin.
... Oookay. Moving on, OH GREAT DAEMONIC MUSE! THY HUMBLE-BUMBLE SERVANT-LING BESEECHES YOUR MERCY!
What.
Lilith, AKA Nephlim mommy is done.


Relax, she's ... can I say here?
I'd rather not risk it.
Okay, she's got "Style" she's not a strumpet. Also, we worked out a deal.
Wait, what?
I'm in charge, she's the diplomat/field commander.
Oh, okay then.
...
...
...
... Sithling and bodyguard!
YES! Ahem. Yes, lets see them.


Wow. That photo is...
C-tastic? Yeah, there being uncooperative.
I'll talk to them.
If you cou, wait that's cra... I'ma gunna just say thanks, I appreciate it and move on.
Goood idea. So then, Re-sew-loo-suns?

Yes, just a second, eh not bad but not good either, I think I'm in the clear for now.

Okay, truth be told, I Svarg-ing hate historicals. They can't follow orders and its a slow grind to finish them. I was so loath to work on themIMPLICATIONS REDACTED. Long, confusing, not relevant, nope.
Thank you. TL DR/W: Trade agreement is in effect, if the historicals see some progress and a goal gets finished it's a win.


This week Awesome Barbaros gets wing-rings and he & the young get painted.
TTFN! Ta-ta for now!
See y'all next week. Or sooner. Not later Svarg it!

Yey on completions!

Looking good dude.

EDC

I'm sure we all have boxes of unpainted shame that could last us for a very long time, it comes with the territory of the hobby I suppose. Yeah sometimes progress can feel real slow but at the end of the day as long as you're proud of what you've done how fast you do it is much less important. The new batch of finished models look great, the sithling and bodyguard are real standouts to me. I really dig the way you did the sithlings red dress under her coat, great job.

Just a quick Hit and Run until Wednesday. Either the 3 small guys or the 2 big'uns for this week. As for resolutions: Barely, I guess, Svarg no, and I'm betting failure.
YE GOT THAT RIGHT CHUCKLES!

Intrigued by the 2 daemon prince looking things....

EDC

My vote is the big-uns. 2 is easier than 3 after all isn't it?

Ok, lets do a proper post now that I have time. First direct responses:

I understand what you're saying about progress. It'd just be nice for it to be steady rather than my cuisinart like pace. (Long stretches of nothing inturupted by sudden short pulses of massive progress.)
As for the sithling I am immensely pleased with how her dress came out.

Funnily enough they wound up not being the primary goal. It's the little guys this week.


Other progress for the day, SVARGING GERMANS ARE DONE!


Yer kiddin' right?
Nope, just need to order decals for markings and they're golden.
Holy svarg. They're done. ...BWAHAHAHA!
And better shots of Barbaros and the young.
SHOW ME!
Barbaros;


Young;


The whole family, including the field commander;


Whaaat? No shots of Barbaros' great ba-donk-a-donk?
...No. I didn't think to get any.
Hwa? Abu. HOW!?! That sculpt has an amazing rear!
To be fair it's wrapped in a ... butt-wrap. But yeah I guess so.
I am much disappoint.
In my defense I'm still working from the Ipad not a full computer that the camera can talk to.
Hrmph. Get back to work!
Yes mam.

Fantastic work all around. Those germans look good and that Barbaros is very menacing. He fits in nicely with the family, that blue is very striking. Keep up the good work.

I feel like Death warm-a-rated over right now so I'll copy last week's shtick.


More Wednesday when I'll have the mechanic I need and hopefully be functional. Blert. CM out.
Get some sleep stupid.

Good to see some more progress, it's all shaping up nicely. Sucks to hear you're so out of sorts at the moment. Drink lots of water, get some rest and I look forward to seeing you back at peak performance.

Alright, I'm functional-ish again. Plenty of sleep and Russian Tea helped.
Really? Vodka in your tea while sick?
What? Gah! No, Russian Tea is a family secret consisting of Tang, sugar, instant teat, cinnamon, and clove.
... Not so secret anymore.
I never said it was closely guarded or anything. Anyway proper update time.
1) @ Inevitable_Faith, Reaper's Berrone/Templar/Ashen blue, ghost white and Daler Rowney's Rowney blue ink have treated me incredibly well. Without the ink I get denim or snow cammo, with the ink as a wash I get a beautiful sapphire. As for Barbaros, he better fit! He's from the same line as the rest, just a special edition alternate to the one that comes with Lilith and the Tots. However that sculpt for Barbaros is just top notch. I knew when I first saw it I'd hit the $300 mark to get him. Thanks for the good vibes, luckily I'm wiped this week because I'm working a con the 17th-19
2) Toolbox little ones are done:


[sarcasm]yay.[/sarcasm]
Oh come on! There's a kid that ripped it's own face off, a little spider girl, and a puke worm. ... Ok, I'll admit puke worm isn't as awesome.
I wanted the big 'uns done also.
So'd everyone! But it didn't happen despite some progress on them. On that note resolutions:
Jan 31 - Feb 6, Posting kinda happened, Meh-nes of it was excusable. Nothing was bought, and the Succubis was angered.
What about goals? Hrmmm?
Messy, don't have a one week goal, it's more of a rest of the month goal: Zipp, Earl Burns, Sparks, 3 Iron Skeeters, Mature Nephlim, Nekima, and repair Arcane Eff and the large mech arachnid. All shown here:


Well that's a mess.
Yes, yes it is. I should get to work on it.
Good bye lovely readers! The slave must get back to work! MWA HA HA HA!!!



Ha ha.

That tea recipe sounds good, as a Tea lover I may have to steal it. Those three models you got done are so creepy and fascinating at the same time, great job on them, the purple at the base of the worm is a real standout to me. You're working a con eh? I love cons, what you gunna be doing there? Sounds exciting to say the least.

There's so much you work on in the plog from so many systems and always showcasing models I never even knew existed it's always exciting to see what you're working on next. Your witty banter is always worth a great read and laugh, thank you for keeping this up and being awesome.

Inevitable_Faith, as a fellow tea lover I must warn you it only bares the vaguest resemblance to actual tea.
Full recipe;


I'm working A/V for a small local con. I enjoy the smaller cons but Acen/Comicon/Gencon etc. are all a bit big for me.



Rare as mid-week updates are an actual WiP photo has apeared! ZOMG!
