**The Newman**

Finished the first block of Force Grown Drones.

**Captain Brown**

A classic piece from the Outlanders set...with all the cardboard replaced by plastic card painted and details added. I added an extra level to make this one even taller and the elevator a little more useful.

Spoiler:

The long painting and converting war continues...

**The Newman**

Finished my first block of Stryx,and a High Clone Executor.

**ccs**

This in no way phased the pile.

**SimpleGuys**

That isane !

**Easy E**

Finished Return of the Witchlord for HQ.

I cracked open my Anglo-saxon army and started assembling the first few units. I doubt I will get them done by End-of-the-Year.

The assembly is slowing me down. The single pose plastic models from HeroQuest have spoiled me!

**Mad Doc Grotsnik**

This.

And I’d have the smaller buildings to the same state, but I’ve run out of Zandri Dust.

**The Newman**

A Seigebreaker Behemoth and a High Clone Executor.

The end of my City States and Dweghom are supposed to arrive this week, so that'll set me back several days while I get things assembled and base coated, but that should be the end of the new stuff until next spring.

**The Newman**

And FedEx is still giving my LGS the finger.

Finished up a set of Clockwork Hoplites.

**The Newman**

And a second set of Clockwork Hoplites. At this rate I'll get to make the "and CS is finished again" wisecrack before I get the remainder of that order.

**Polonius**

Got a lot of painting done, maintained discipline pretty well until I saw some used orks on my local dischord...

**The Newman**

Finished some Marksmen clones.

**The Newman**

Finished several things. Six Centaur Avatara, some Sacred Band and Clockwork Hoplites. I've actually lost track a little bit because I keep expecting some things to show up at my LGS and those things keep failing to arrive.

**Easy E**

Finished a Reaper Nativity scene.

Started on Victrix Anglo-Saxons for Fury of the Northman.

**ccs**

I've now added 1 Squig riding grot (I think he's from a Warcry/Underworlds team), 1 D&D Cleric, & 1 Wizkids D&D character sized Minotaur to my painted minis tally.
