Converting a Nexos into a junior / aspirant Sacristan. Somehow.

Assembled some easy-build plague marines and we ran the test game of the first 2 warhammer 40k conquest magazines.
The plague marine captain's plasma blew up first turn and I learnt Disgustingly Resilient apparently doesn't work for failed plasma rolls.

Still waiting for Dark Imperium to be delivered so I can get on with learning 8th edition.

Painted up a warcor and his flying drone, to act as a a xenotech and/or HVT.

Still working on my chip board roads, started leveling them now and next is painting of the 4 complete straight road sections.

Cheers,

CB

I am painting many things orange, because it is the best color.

Working on this baby

Last couple of evenings I've been getting on with the Greenskins from Warhammer Quest (1995). Did the 6 Goblin archers last night and tonight almost finished the 6 Orc swordsmen, just their teeth and eyes to stick some paint on.

Nothing fancy, just basic colours and a couple of quick Citadel shade washes, i.e. a "good enough for the tabletop" paint job.

Only another 89 models (including doorways) and I might finish the set...

Putting the absolute last touches on UR-025 from Blackstone Fortress, and working on my Daemon Prince of Khorne.

Ah! that red panel lining looks awesome!

Worked a little more on the Ur-Ghuls, I think I've found a nice scheme for them now.

Built an Ambot, it's.. something? Not an amazing kit as some parts don't have great fits, but still some nice chunk to it. I'll probably use it as an alternative to the Bullgryn with shock maul and something shield for Halloween this year.

Also really pleased with how the Nexos conversion turned out so far, all that's left now is to remove the holographic display on the table and replace it with something less tactical, more maintenance looking:

You're not one of our royals now are you?

Are Ambots worth the buy? I don't play Necromunda but what are they like for conversion potential?

There's two sets of arms, legs and heads per sprue, so there is some diversity in posing it. The hands can also swap out their thumbs for a melta or grav gun.

Putting together 5 Stormcast Retributors and priming. Going to tackle them this weekend hopefully.

Struggling to motivate myself in focusing on painting anything in particular. Finished another Deathwatch vet, now painting some Tesla Immortal Necrons

Thanks. I was debating on it(and asked on the paint forum here with little help) but pulled the tricker. Figured it adds some pop over all that metallic blue. Seems to be working. Bit of pain to get there especially as retouching isn't easiest things with this but blue but...

Now need to get that gun done. That's the biggest thing that is left from done.

I have seen some nice ork conversions as meganobz or warboss in mega armour. Not much cheaper than official models(if you need to buy bits more expnsive...) but if you like the look...

Four straight sections still need to become level before I will paint. So did the craters on my two bombed sections.

Primed six superfigs miniatures for use with pulp alley.

Finished two more Deathwatch Terminators, up to 18 infrantry models complete so far.

More work on the two bombed sections of roadway.

Cheers,

So a lot of things and very little. What I am doing is planning out my armies and stuff. So I have a Forum RP going even if it is a bit quiet with my 487th Cavalry, Wyrm Guard. Working on my terrain and table in my new house for gaming with my wife, and looking at conversions for biker rough riders again for my 487th Lunar Venatorii Panther Cavalry Regiment the Wyrm Garderme. In Dakka fiction I am building up their lore a piece at a time.

Well, I started painting a Techmarine in red and silver for both, my BA and GK army.

Started painting two of the straight road sections.

Cheers,

CB

Finished up these six for Pulp Alley:

Getting back into painting after not doing much the last fortnight, working on finishing my League of Assassins off

Working on necrons. Apart from cryptek all models for up to 800pts are well on way. Had to order magnets for tomb blades though as 5mm was too big.

Filing down bases for my Blackstone models, need to get them nice and smooth for some eldritch looking designs.

Basecoated my fire dragons and swooping hawks, looking to build up some layers today.

Leaved some trees and clumping foliage to desert terrain. For wooded desert.
Greenstuff-ed a ghillie suit on operative that will act as a Vidicare assassin. Because chameleonic stuff might be nice but a chameleonic ghillie suit is way awesome.

I've basecoated the second half of my custodes army, which is 25 strong at the moment and I'll get it finished this week. Started to paint strip a sisters of battle army I picked up at a fair price, the models are in good condition, with the exception of the vehicles which are quite awful conversions, and I've also got to finish off my hassassin force for infinity. Those are already base coated but they are a lot tricker to paint than heroic scale 40k stuff.

Got them down to just needing whites, black highlights and bases until the whole batch of 5 is done. Working wonders for my hobby mojo, have the next 2 batches ready to prime now too

More or less finished my Primaris Ancient:






And with that, the Dark Millennium box is finished. And within 2 years...a new record!
