Busy day yesterday, assembled a ton of models for my Dark Angels.

Slow day today, just bought a can of primer, will be using it tomorrow more then likely on all the new models.

Finished this inceptor unit after putting it off for over a year. I really dislike gw flying models and their bases. Not super happy with how these are based but it’s the best I can figure out without buying special stuff.

Working hard on some chain rasps before starting an ossiarch bone reaper army.

Finished Han, almost finished my Skaven for Blood Bowl but now working on bases for my Bushido minis and finishing off my Rebels on the table (squad of troopers and an AT-RT)

Getting some old 15mm medieval models up to my improved standard.

Started sculpting/converting an Aspiring Champion of Khorne with hammer and axe. Using lots of spare Khorne parts and the base legs from a Space Marine they are getting green stuff sculpted over them. Taking my time, trying to make it look awesome.

Please post pics if you can. Been seeing some really cool GSC armies on here recently and enjoy the inspiration

I finished painting the last 4. Now I need to come up with a basing scheme for them. Sandy rock is my current plan, but I'm open to ideas.

Here they are:

Added sand to the bases of four models...which means all 9 of my remaining infantry have their bases finished by tomorrow. The pile of shame is really getting small...as long as you do not count all the other household items I have been collecting for terrain.

Cheers,

Once I'm done with a conference call I'll put the final highlights on some plastic dwarfs (6 total). Going to change it up by working on some cars for Gaslands.

I'm a teacher so I'm home for the foreseeable future, which on one hand sucks but on the other hand...I have't been this painting productive in years.

Harlequins - half assembled - were crying out for some paint. Gave them an undercoat.

Assembled, primed, and painted six zombies as a test - the other twelve will be done in batches of six each....as that's just about as many as I can handle doing in a 2 hour sitting.

Spoiler:

Very nicely done.
My basing scheme is about the same for all my models, homemade astrogranite gray.
It's kind of boring but it matches my playing surfaces and is sorta neutral for blending in on various tables.
Sandy rock sounds like a good option, too.

Still painting Orcs, one last highlight on the current batch then I just have to flock and magnetize the bases before moving on to the next group.

With them done I'm half way through the unit of 40!

Primed my model for this Month's Unofficial Painting Challenge.

And I painted six more zombies and dipped them...only six more to go (and then perhaps a box of armored ones to round them out)

Started work on my FW Gitz command pack this evening.

Only managed to get one coat on the bases of 10 models.

Cheers,

CB

Built and primed the last six zombies...may actually force myself to paint them....going out of town for a week, so I'd like to get them dipped so I can finish them all when I get back.

finally knock out the final few bits scenery I bought at the local game show,last year just in time for this years (well if it hadn't been cancelled)

also had an inspect of my Godtear KS box see which champs look easiest to paint (laziness, laziness never changes)

Began the building of my Sons of Horus Despoiler squad, combining the various chainsword options and Devastator Sarge open hands to create some brothers in the midst of combat, also began sketching the rough idea for a scenic base for a duel between two commanders that they can slot for display like some of the Forge World character series.

Working on a commission I normally wouldn't take, but I can't really get the models back to the owner due to social isolation measures. Orginally, it was only going to be priming the models, but now that I am kinda stuck with them for a while the owner convinced me to just paint them all up. I am only going for a low-ish tabletop standard as get it done and go back to my own projects. I think I am making pretty good progress given that I only started working on them three days ago.

Started a Korgoroth model, almost all contrast last night. I’ve taken about 2 hrs total and the model is almost done. Lovin it.

Game store gaming area is closed for obvious reasons, so i got my paint on, finished painting a bunch of DUST models i have be procrastinating on-

.rommel
.bloody baron
.heavy grenadier command squad
.X2 blutkreuz heavy laser support squad
.jagdwotan heavy laser walker

This completes the themed laser force for my 150 point dust army when added to my command vehicle, blutkreuz laser grenadiers and 2 planes.

Next up...gotta start on my allied heavy rangers force.

Flocking the bases of my 15mm Medieval Germans for ADLG.

Started painting my model for this Month's Unofficial Painting Challenge.

Working on the base for a Daemonhost (for if/when I get to Eisenhorn), and undercoating some of my Armoured Containers with Death Guard Green.

Might do some more of the assembly of my Bastion, too, and maybe drill out the barrels on its Heavy Bolters.

Building a a mdf church to carry my gaming table project on

Putting together two tanks - converting some 1/35 scale Stuart tanks as IG vehicles.

I'm not used to these infernal rubber tracks though. Can't glue them, can't melt them, I had to resort to using 2 staples to hold together the ends of each track.

Just finished a squad of Hellblasters.

Another 10 to go...

One Korgoroth down, the second has been started. Quite enjoying these models. Methinks my Khorne army needs more.
