Painted first base for chaos and worked on 64 gloomspite gits getting 59 done. First completed models for 2021.

Took a break from building Necrons to clean/build/base-coat a dryad/tree-folk from Creature Caster. Very nice model.

Finished my first Infantry Squad and decided to do a family photo of my Squats so far.

They look very nifty!

I've been looking at making elves that are raggedy rather than stylish

Been building more Necron Warriors.

Now got 30 armed with Gauss Reapers. With another 30 to go.

Reckon I’ll do 20 as Gauss Flayers.

Blocked in colours and started shading and highlighting a Myphitic Blight-Hauler over the past couple of days. Did nothing today thanks to having to go into work THREE TIMES across the day - once due to pure stupidity.

The space marines will be having more work done on them this evening. Eradicators are getting there while Bladeguard aren't far behind.

Finished my Saber tank for Legion, finishing off my Republic army with it, and started on my 2nd unit of Mandalorians while I finish bases on the 1st

Gloomspite vs nurgle. Game night ahoy! 2nd game with gloomspite. Let's see does winning streak continue or opening defeat suffered. Either way hard for warboss to be even more of a whif than last time. He literally performs better than first game if he dies without killing anything!

Working on my Unofficial Monthly Challenge entry.

More work on my Necrons. I think sometime this weekend I be rotating them out for something else to paint for a while. I managed to cover a lot of ground for my initial go on the Necrons, but it feels like time to take a break on them and work on something else for a bit. Not quite sure just yet.

I managed to finish and base my 30 Gaunts tonight, happy time!

Nice work Saturmorn Carvilli and Skywave.

More work on my Unofficial Monthly Challenge entry.

Putting together a box of Mk III Space Marines for a little personal project that I want to work on over the year.

@Skywave

Is that just white/gray dry brushing on the carapace? My genestealers have very dark grey chitin, and I am looking for a way to make it look better. I really like how your nids plates look and think something like that could make mine look a lot better.

@Captain Brown

Thank you very much.

Doing kitbash "Dwarf Tanks" for my Chaos Dwarf army. Also up-spruing Gnoblars into Hobgoblins.

Yeah I drybrushed 3 greys there; Mechanicus Standard Grey, Administratum Grey and Ulthuan Grey. Since drybrush can be messy, I hit them back with some black wash on the flat area or to clean up he gradient. In this case here, I used some thinned down black contrast (with the contrast thinner) to test it out and it worked pretty well (my drybrush brush was dying and I tried other brushes to mixed results and needed to fix some parts so contrast sounded better with the stronger pigment versus a normal wash).

The Island Priests from Crooked Dice have arrived.



These are small, not far away.

I haven't looked forward to TV comedy inspired wargame figures this much since Victoria Lamb's Monty Python inspired 40K Inquisitor models.

Oh my GOODNESS, I hadn't realised they existed

Just primed my Eisenhorn. I lost his foot a few weeks back, I took him out of the sprue at my local GW and after I took him out of the sprue I gave it to Will, the dude who works there, to throw out. Then a few days later came in to assemble him, but it turned out I'd neglected to take his right foot from the sprue, like an idiot. I spent a day trying to make a replacement foot out of some old grey stuff. I did...alright, after three tries. It doesn't have any detail like the "real" boot but the way I accidentally made it makes his pose more dynamic as his right foot is lifted off the ground. I ordered another miniature of Eisenhorn. Decided to use my Eisenhorn now to practise for the later one. Wish to make a Killteam with him and Harlon Nayl using Tempestuous Scions.

Like almost everything I do, it has an ulterior motive, it's for research for a TT skirmish game I've begun making set in my Angaran Chronicles setting, which would work very well, as the main characters are a squad of elite black-ops who partake in many small skirmishes in the novel I've been working on for a few years now. But Killteam seems fun from the brief demo I played at GW a few days back, although, it became a bit of a pillow fight between the Primaris Marines I was playing and the Necrons Will were using lol. And Killteam seems to be a bit more affordable to me than full on 40k lol

Since I was working on that 30-gaunt squad, I decide that I might as well do some more!

I have 9 old school Termagants left to paint (out of 25), so I started with those.

Also at the same time I worked on repairing 10 regular Termagants rescued from the second-hand market. A bit of greenstuff, mould lines cleaning, a missing feet restored, now they are primed are waiting in line!

Like the elves in Terry Pratchett's Discworld. The one that specifically jumps to mind is The Shepherd's Crown.



I'm building (assembling, repurposing) a table on which to set up terrain so I can play some games in my garage.

I'm assembling the cool canoptek spyder that came with Indomitus. It had a weird default pose and they included the datasheet for some other model... But I'm still having fun with it.

Finally doing some painting! Its been over four months since I last picked up a brush but I'm painting some Skitarii.

Started the day by clearing everybody's junk from my painting area.

Started a cute little mole miniature by cleaning mold lines and priming. Also trying my hand at a small building which if works will be the start to a village.

I did like 10 minutes on the Myphitic Blight-Hauler that really should be fully done by now.

Painting my Eisenhorn, pretty fun and almost addictive, actually.

Painting, mostly, and soon kitbashing for my new project.

Working on gloomspites. Just 3 models need basing detail and the terrain piece needs detail work and 2k done.
