MOAR!

Very nearly through the To-Build Backlog.



Really should start breaking down the infantry Sprues.

Just finished my first proper game of LI - Mechanicum against Legions Astartes. Very small, though - only about 850 points, as that's all I have finished for Astartes. I forgot to take many photos, but here is one of the proud Reaver of Legio Danica Amagria marching past a ruined building that now serves as a tomb for half a company of Emperor's Children.



My partner had garrisoned it with a detachment of ten stands, and I rolled very well on my attempt to wreck the building - only a single stand made it out alive. That probably decided the game right there, as she was in the lead point-wise before then.

Ignore the villanous Cerastus Lancer sneaking up on the flank.

It’s a veritable Hobby Frenzy in Grotsnik Acres tonight. Committed to getting all my LI stuff undercoated tonight. Tomorrow is getting the brushes out and beginning the top half gun metal drybrush.

Progress should be pretty rapid,

I also made some LI progress. I finished a Thunderhawk:



And I finished an Angron:

Hey! Nice Angron!

I found a shop selling the original Epic-scale metal primarchs from 1992, and there was no way I could not buy them. They are surprisingly enjoyable to paint.

Yeah I wouldn’t be able to resist either. Lovely models, and they’ve aged remarkably well.

Got my Drop Pods undercoated now.

Settled on spraying them Doors Open first, and allowing a thorough drying time. Then, flipped them upside down, Doors Closed, using sticky putty to keep them upright.

I think it’s worked, but won’t know for sure until that cost is completely dry.

And that’s all the pre-highlight/pre-shade/I don’t know what you call it done.

Tomorrow I commence the Grim Blacking.
