I put together and painted some Roman temple columns and a pedestal from Hirst Arts just to try it out, and trying to figure out a good scheme.

Leftmost is black spray primer, and one dry brush of applebarrel’s pewter grey and and one dry brush of granite gray.

Middle is just light grey primer and dry brush of apple barrel granite grey

And the pedestal is a base coat of apple barrel pewter grey and a dry brush of granite.

I prefer the easier one of light grey and granite, but people say the pedestal is more natural.

Well I'd say what you like is most important. Afterall it's your terrain & you're the one painting it. (middle pillar looks fine btw)

working on my cygnar again tonight, about to finish up a unit of sword knights

Turns out Supressors and Inceptors have very different jetpack systems for some reason. Seeing if I can adapt my 3d printed smoke plumes to match. Might just dig up some of my old Inceptor jumppacks instead.

Working on some Necromunda terrain.

Cheers,

I finished another death wing terminator. I’m going to start on the Deathwing Champion next. I bought him second hand and he doesn’t have a Crux Terminatus, so I am going to have to freehand that. I’ve done some freehand chapter symbols and those turned out well, but this will be trickier.

Working on Star Wars and Malifaux, plus I primed the next batch of models. With this priming I'm finishing McCabe's crew for Malifaux and my Rebels for Legion, as well as a Gloomspite warband for Warcry and a Delaque gang.

Finished building six tiles for terrain basing for Necromunda.

Sincerely,

Phil

I have not painted anything in over a week....man I need to get in gear I've been lazy with my hobbying!

More work on painting my Deathwatch marines.

Secured copies of Waaargh The Orks, Ere We Go and Freebooterz for my Library Of Past Joys.

Ended up sourcing them from eBay, but overall got some decent deals, relatively speaking.

Side bonus of the Loot Group is having a few favours to call in when a eBay seller only posts to Canada/US.

It’ll sting a bit on the second batch of post costs, sure. But when the only copy of Waaargh in the U.K. is going for £800, and the copy I bought was £114? Yeah. “Thank you Sir, may I have another?”

Finished my Wookiees and Rebel Troopers, very nearly finished McCabe's core box for Malifaux as well

After spending the first 3 days of the week working on getting my Deathwatch marines painted and edge highlighted, it's finishing day and I'm starting completing models doing the small details.

I am looking around for tyranids to paint pink

Had a weird night where I had to keep diving into the parts bin because apparently I forgot half the bits need to build an intercessor. Did manage to get my Supressor to work with the 3d printed smoke plume I printed, but I really need some intercessor/assault marine sized plumes to match the exhaust ports



Now its on to the other two supressors. I'm pretty excited to be this close to having finished my marine queue.

Got my hands on a cheap copy of the Sylvaneth Battletome the other day & it finally got to me.

So, in-between bouts of paperwork today, I'm studying said tome trying to determine how our Sylvaneth player could make a more effective army (or at least play what he's got more effectively).
He started the tree-folk for our current Path To Glory campaign & even though he has a pretty good win/loss ratio he's been having a rough time of it.
I figure I'll use this forced down time we're all enjoying & become proficient with yet another army....

Waiting on a shipment from the FLGS to keep working on traitor guard.

Not sure what to work on - I have a small commission due in two weeks thats literally a single model + some finish in a day terrain.

Reorganizing area

Trying to plug away at the sisters of battle miniatures.

Took some photos and posted them in my Necromunda log. Now working on a tower.

I'm working on a necron terrain piece(s) to go with my quarantine necron army. (Boy it might be nice to be utterly immune to regular diseases...)

These were at a dollar store in a 2 pack.

(BTW, can someone tell me if there's a way to get images from flickr to show up here? Yes I tried to image tag, no joy.)

I saw these as obelisk like construct shape and grabbed two. Maybe I should have gotten 4 but oh well.

I plan on putting them on at least a 2 layer foamcore base and doing them as necron monuments. I'm not sure what glue to use as these don't seem to be styrene, they are fairly thickish, actually, but softer amd more flexible than styrene and just don;t quite feel like it. I may have to experiment with the inside to see what if any glue sticks to it. (suggestions?)

I would love to put like a clear green glass or plastic pyramid atop them but doubt I'll find anything just right. (Again, suggestions?)

Maybe if I can glue to these some glyphs on the sides with the necron symbol. At least it seems some paint stiucks to them as they are painted already.

Repaired some Varanguard I bought on the FB AoS board. I really wish people who tend to trade models would:
A) build the models correctly
B) remove flash
C) use superglue, not plastic glue. Ugh. Oh well, only one issue with an arm not seated up against the reins.

Reaper Bones : Savage Worlds : Deadlands : Prairie Tick Queen and Dungeon Vermin - Tick

Some Q&D painting of Reaper Bones. Last coat on the giant ticks was Tamiya Clear Smoke.

Almost finished McCabe's core box, started work on his expansion box and my Gloomspite Warcry band

Just finished building & painting the last few spells (Emerald Swarm, Prismatic Palisade, & Soulsnare Shackles) from my Malign Sorcery set.
It's one of those things where I'll only build/paint a piece if I'm going to use it in a game. Or sometimes a piece while watching TV/Netflix/etc. Well, tonight I reached the end.
Oh, and drew up some hypothetical Sylvaneth lists.

did base airbrushing on some touroxes. nothing insane.
Tommorow i might either go out and dip some ghouls or paint those, not sure honestly

I am now painting like such as a hut. A shack. A cabin!

Continuing to slowly cut out the floors in polystyrene to match the classic Necromunda cardboard.

Cheers,

CB

Typing up some D&D notes before my in-session scribblings (completely) stop making sense.
It's only been two weeks & already there's a few notations that.... Well, I could've used a few more words. Made sense in the moment, but 2 weeks later.

Got my star wars stuff ealier thant expected, since i have not built models in like.....3 months skipped painting touroxes for this.

Building 5 GSC bikers (one left to go).
After that, the only models I have left to build/paint are 8 genestealers and the trees from the souldrain forest for warcry.

Painting a Chaos Land Raider.... so much gold and purple.
