Damn, I'm jealous; I've a stack of marines sprayed up yellow just waiting to have the black trimming put on, I find it the most tedious and nerve wracking part as the slightest slip means a streak of black that always leaves a mark no matter how quick i am to wash it off with a clean wet brush.

Sounds like an impressive target, no vehicles!?

**Desubot**

One repulser.

Maybe 2 in the future. after its done and i get a break from marines i might do my normal baby marines a unit at a time

**Theophony**

Sweet looking Primaris marines. I've enjoyed the growth of your giant lemon army. Looking forward to what you do with the repulsar(s).

**Desubot**

Thanks mate

honestly absolutely stoked that im actually getting stuff done for once.

Still got an ungodly amount of Dystopian wars and legion, Chaos, Guard, Eldar, a huge tau army, sisters, GSC, circle of orbo, The wild ones malifaux, terrain, AND a magnetic cabinet project i need to get to :(

**Desubot**

More progress. i can smell a finished army over the horizon.

also tried a 2k full primarus list against a full Tsons list and got dominated. o well

**San76**

Good to see so many sons of Dorn!

**Desubot**

Thanks mate

got the back packs and heads all primed. but im holding off on painting them until i finish my repulsor. just magnatized the turret and now filling up some god damn gaps.

**Desubot**

Fully magnatized and filled

then ran out of primer. FML

cant finish the missing marine heads and back packs ether :/

i guess i will be working on something else till the weekend.

**Desubot**

Im back in yellow

Finally got another stack of marines done.

1 dude that lost his arm to do , 10 reviers and a repulsor next.

**Desubot**

Meh skipped the reviers and repulsor is partially done. for now to do new shiny models

3 aggressors to go

**Desubot**

Aggressors in white but holding off while finishing of these puppies.

one not pictured is in the stripping soup :/

So while i wait on that i painted up to gloss coat these two

going to do decals tomorrow.

**Theophony**

That is a thing of beauty. Well done insert clapping ork emoji.

**Desubot**

Thanks man

That picture and seeing them done is really motivating me to finally get a fully finished army

and iv made a list that makes use of pretty much all of them thats been pretty stellar for once.

**Meph**

Crikey! That's a whole lot o' marines! I'm liking the pale tones, it's a nice change from the more usual warm yellows for the Fists.

**Desubot**

Yeah its in between the 40k orange yellow and the 30k lemon yellow.

also disaster struck. i forgot to take pictures but i accidentally did an oil wash with lacquer thinner for my apothecary partially ruined the finish but i think i can fix it. :(

**Meph**

Arrr! Hope you can fix it!
I always go for odourless turpentine from a modeling brand. So far I found that best to make washes with, and easier to handle thanks to the (almost) lack of odour.

**Desubot**

Time for more hobby ADHD
Finally got my lazy butt to ikea and picked up a billy bookcase with the glass door for my display case project.

Bent sheet metal trays and magnets (how do they work)

pretty stoked everything fits

need a million shelf pegs though

**Desubot**

And 4 more trays

one even got spray painted

now i need to make the accompanying travel case so i can display AND game.

**OneManNoodles**

Looking cool, you're adding magnets to the bottoms of your bases then?

I've just set up a pair of Ikea Detolfs to display my minitures, and the only problem i'm finding is that I really need to paint faster to fill up all the empty space. So what do you need magnets for?

The magnets are on the bases of my miniature

so i can stick them on the shelves

the shelves can come out so i can transfer them into my hand made carrying case

i have a different prototype in my photos somewhere. but it can hold quite a lot of models with no fuss.

i just dont like foam because 1) its a pain the take em out and in 2) you cant really display them which is a shame with how much work we put into them.

**Meer_Cat**

Nice work all around!

I like the magnet idea- never thought to use it with the miniatures on shelves, but it makes for really easily handling. I do something similar so that I can use metal cookie (biscuit) tins to transport units.

I look forward to seeing more!

**OneManNoodles**

Aaahh I see now!

Good points, I've broken models because of the foam in my case before now.

Its a cool idea that I've seen done before, good luck with the case! It'd be cool to see it as it comes together.

Yeah kinda stole the idea from table wars.

except theirs is EXTREMELY expensive, bulky and doesn't hold that much surprisingly because of the standoffs, as well its surprisingly heavy. at least the full one that i got.

shame they didn't design the size to fit in a standard cabinet. i feel like they did have that idea as they sell the railings in there system individually.

**Desubot**

Woh im back
and its finally done 2k imperial fist space marine army.

next up some malifaux because i hate my self i got the wild ones.
bases first

**Desubot**

All shiny and chrome.

oh no rust!. chimping medium is great fun. though i roughed it up too much and got under the rust color on a few places :(

**Desubot**

Now with 10% more skin and dusty wheels.

**Desubot**

progress

Oh god i didnt even notice that massive mold line... thank you pictures.

**Desubot**

Finished.

next up the mono wheel.

Really cheesed the leg broke at the ankle at the last possible second.

just covered it up with dust and im going to put it out of my mind forever.

**General Helstrom**
