While I should be painting Shining Spears for the Monthly Painting Challenge, I instead worked on a metal Dire Avenger Exarch.

Finished of Zaateroth, to be planar apparition and/or mind-screech for my Kings of War night-stalkers

Now back to dwarfs so that I can declare my all Mantic dwarf army complete for the third time.

behold , a glued together old metal swarm tyrant....

I swear awesome kit, suffering for the ages:

Spoiler:

Love that model.

it is really fancy, but also, SUCH A PAIN:.... 8 hours and 3 attempts and i am far from a novice at building difficult or unconventional stuff....
thankfully i now only need plastic warriors and a dex... if i ever bother to go through with that side project

8 hours!

Assembly wise (not counting cleaning up mold lines) mine only took 1 attempt & a few minutes. 1/2hr, 45 minutes at most. And I pinned mine with brass rod. A bit of cutting of rod, a bit of drilling, add glue, remove rhino horn, clean up excess glue. Finished off with a hit of primer.
Painting took longer, but then I'm one of the worlds slowest/least committed painters....

well tbf i had to clean him of colour, and i didn't pin because i atm are kinda stuck and also mostly drying took that long.

Working on this and thundertusk head so they aren't totally unpainted in tomorrow game

Built/kit-bashed a box of Necron Immortals/Deathmarks.
Deathmark torsos, Immortal heads, cut the cables off the Immortal guns....
And as an ongoing project I'm going to experiment with magnetizing the arms/guns so that I can switch between the 3 weapons.

I'm about to hop into a Dark Heresy 2.0 game with a GM and 5 other people who I've never met. Don't even know what country they're in.

The perils of worldwide pandemics...

Updating my P&M blog, and working on Lord James "War Machine" of Rhodes among other minis.

Finished rebasing ''Yggdrasil junior''.

Finished the metal Dire Avenger Exarch.

Prepping unit bases for my new dwarfs.

Just finished writing a review for RPG.net...

WIP and full review on Reaper : https://forum.reapermini.com/index.php?/topic/93680-tiny-furnitures-old-woods/
Other Tiny Furniture reviews on RPG.net : https://www.rpg.net/reviews/search-review.phtml?productCompany=tiny+furniture&orderby=category&showinfo=publisher
Catalog : https://tiny-furniture.com/products/search?sort=0&balance=&categoryId=&min_cost=&max_cost=&page=1&text=woods

Tiny Furniture's "Old Woods" consists of three upright broken trunks, and one fallen one. Each trunk is a single-piece cast. As expected from the Tiny Furniture line of miniatures, the details are impressive, including mushrooms, shrubbery, grass, fallen leaves, knotholes, making these miniatures well-suited for not just rpg and miniature gaming terrain, but dioramas and displays as well. The three upright trunks fit on a 2"x2" area, and the fallen one is somewhat wider than 1"x3". The models have no sprues and no mold line preparation. The miniatures are available unpainted and painted.

Building a few new Necron units;
Lokhurst Heavy Destroyer x1
Hexmark Destroyer x1
Canoptek Doomstalker x1

Finally started painting a test Shining Spear.

Painting the dwarf steel juggernaut from Mantic.

It's been a couple of days of Wargames Atlantic action.

WW1 Germans.
WW! German gas mask heads on Les Grognards torsoes.
Death Fields Einherjar
Death Fields sci fi Spiders.

While I should be painting Shining Spears for the Monthly Painting Challenge, I instead worked on more scratch-built Necromunda terrain.

Been painting and assembling storm casts, played game　and deployed next game.

The fruits of my Wargames Atlantic labours so far.

I painted up such as a grating, and next is a chest. It will be brown, with metal bits. Thrill with me!

2 games of AOS and bit painting of SCE. Let's see if we can fit 3rd game as well.

edit: Yes we did get 3rd game in.

Mantic dwarfs, last two units.

Powers out due to storms & high winds. So a whole bunch of nothing today.

Assembling the 40K Battlefield Expansion Set, it’s nice to have decent scenery (to not play with thanks to lockdown!).

I'm doing touch-ups on the base coat on the final squad in my 2,000-point Blood Angels army, Squad Caedes. (Also my first 40k army ever!) Since there's nearly 100% color overlap, I've also got a bike squad, Ariete, on my table to use up spare paint; they're fully based and partially painted.

Another ~5-7 hours and Squad Caedes should be done. Probably not all today.

Finishing as much as I can on my Foundry crew and starting on basing Amalgam

Tonight I have to;
1) type up my Crusade sheets into something legible....
2) magnetize the weapons on my Tomb Blades.
3) build another Anihlation Barge.
4) write up a 25pl SoB force.

Happily guarding my recently glossed hive tyrant.
Conceptually planning Decimator -brutes, because A: screw GW mail order prices and B: I prefer the malovelent Machine esthetique more then chaos spawn Roleplaying as Dreadnought.

Continued building scratch-built Necromunda terrain.

Cheers,

CB

Commission work! Sculpting bases for the Fellowship and The Nine to match the Weathertop set I just finished for a friend.
