Tonight I got 10 Gretchin mostly based. Tomorrow, once the texture paint is fully dry, I can wash and drybrush the landscape -- and then I get to see whether my guess that 10 Gretchin will take about as much time to paint up as 5 Orks holds true.

No. My experience (with AoS goblins/orks) is at least 50% longer. Maybe double. Yes, they're smaller. But there's double the # of them.

I try to do something everyday, even if it's just base a model or basecoat some gray plastic.

Today I've based 6 Wyches. I want to have my army ready for the next codex

Tomorrow I have to start basing my Coven and decide if I base my flying stands.

Didn’t get any hobby done so far, but probably going to build some Trolls.

But I did setup a discord dedicated to video painting sessions. Not educational. Not showing off skills. Just a way for disparate hobby fans to have someone to natter to, like in the olden days at GW stores, on those tiny Red chairs.

See my sig if you’d like to join. Mostly U.K. based at the moment though, so bear that in mind. Maybe set up your own one for your locale?

Building yet more Necron Tomb Blades.
4 more to go & then I'm stuck waiting for an order I placed at the shop to come in before I can finish the last squadron.

In my procrastination, I painted up a Blood Drinkers space marine as a speed paint, to see how fast I could get a tabletop quality marine done. Under two hours excluding drying time for this marine, but would be a lot quicker if this was batch painting and it wasn't my first time painting a red marine.

Finished bases on Anakin, Obi-Wan, Captain Rex and a unit of clones and worked through 3 more squads and 2 speeders in various stages of completion. With this basing my Republic will be done for now though

Finishing up building & magnetizing all the alternate weapons (particle beamers & twin tesla carbines) for my Necron tomb blades.

My preferred weapon is the gaus blasters, but just in case I feel like switching things up....

Its Christmas.

The Mince Pies are being scoffed down....

And I am going old school scenery building with the foil tins. There ae many blast craters on my table.

Also making scenery with some plastic light bulb packaging.

Continuing with my comp entry.

Finishing my bases for Malifaux's Infamous keyword and starting on Kin, building a Warpgnaw Verminlord

Got some paint on the two OPP metal and plastic Shining Spears I am working on for the Monthly Painting Challenge.

Cheers,

Working on my challenge entry and highlighting some space marines.

Drawing up a 2k Primaris SM list followed by the post Christmas shopping list to make it real. And pondering what colors to paint it up in.

I am creating a chaos warrior amiriger.
Count as maulerfiend.
He is turning out well

Some more work on the two OPP metal and plastic Shining Spears I am working on for the Monthly Painting Challenge.

Cheers,

Hopefully playing a few games of 40k.

Reading the rulebook for an old wargame Leviathan.

Work continues on slaves to darness. Once 2k done will get to paint 2k gloomspite gits

Finally got round to assembling my Indomitus Necrons.
Finding it super fiddly, the prospect of 40 warriors to do is not a good one.

Finally finished my whole Custodes army (3,700pts total), so I am free from painting so much gold!

Only now I'm doing some Thousand Sons stuff, so gold is still there! But I started with 10 Cultist first so those were quick and goldless thankfully!

Watching bad sci-fi movies & assembling some Canoptek Wraiths (Necrons).

Drawing out painting plans for my 5th Company Blood Angels. Having great fun going through Codexes/Codices/More than one Codex and tweaking colour schemes (can’t do a black shoulder pad for Sergeants and have the black company insignia, going to go with a bone coloured shoulder pad instead).

3 Orcs left to paint and the unit is done....SO CLOSE!!

Gaslands scenery and planning a 'track' for the same. Want an oval but......

Also got Son 2 to finish his 2nd hand Genestealers. Did a sucky rescue job of some really thickly spray primed guys but they are playable and will be the derpy 'first wave' in any battle.

We have primed his broodlord. He has built up enough confidence to start painting him. So will be a stand out commander on the tabletop!

Painted 10 cultist and a sorcerer in terminator armour for my thousand sons, working on an exalted sorcerer in disk now.

Painting a scratch built storage building for pulp alley.

Finishing Void Hunters (and with that my Outcasts are done! Entire faction for Malifaux all fully painted) and starting on the Black Friday Fat Cap model for my Foundry crew and some models for Steel Phalanx to finish off my Infinity

Finished the two Shining Spears.








Cheers,

Does pondering what colors to start painting my Indom Primaris come Jan. count?


I'm undecided between wether to paint them up in the Green/White of my Mentors or go with something completely different....
I've got;
Blue marines (UM)
Green marines (DA)
Grey marines (SW)
Silver marines (Doom Eagles)
Green/White marines (Mentors)
