Did some work on the three OOP metal Shining Spears.

Not too much today, in all honesty, had my Rogue Trader session so that took a few hours, it was even harder to run than I expected, been a long while since I ran a large void battle and forgot to look over the starship rules beforehand besides how torpedoes work...

Uhh, glued the non-gun arms onto the remaining 5 Dire Avengers of my 3rd squad with the new glue I bought today. Base coated my Autarch's power sword with...Caledor blue? And my exarch's power glaive as well. I wish to paint them with that awesome powerfield effect some time soon. I also posed one of my Dire Avengers so it looks like he's about to throw a plasma grenade. I'm really happy with him.

Once I've finished my weekly dnd session I'm going to hopefully do some painting and crack on with my skorpius dunerider conversion.

Painting a Baal Predator.

Finally getting to some osl effects I've been putting off, and working on my terrain piece for the League of Extraordinary Riveters competition.

Building some D&D Icewind Dale papercraft terrain as a test for a future game.
I want to put an entire town on the board - without spending a fortune or having to do a lot of actual terrain building.
This D&D stuff might work....

Been a bit of an annoying day, managed to spill almost all of my Ultramarines Blue contrast paint while doing the low lights on my 3rd Dire Avengers squad. Also tried to paint a powerfield onto my metal Autarch's power sword using some tutorials but using just my blues on the Youtubes and I frigged it up. Made the mistake of thinning my Ulthuan Grey for high lights with Lahriman Medium, but the results were...interesting...I don't think I hate it as much as I thought I would.

Here are the results...

Working on my Raptors Kill Team.



Here's what I have so far. Only need to finish the Gunner and start work on the Sniper.

Managed to paint my Armorcast Haruspex turned Tyrannofex. Also took the opportunity to paint bases for my other Armorcast beast while I was into it.

Put down the first layer of flesh on my Helbrute for the monthly challenge. Currently looking horrible, need to get all the base coats down properly before I lose the will to live.

Added a piece of the Stalkers' banner to my Jotnar.

Did some more work on the three OOP metal Shining Spears.

Finished decimators and got judicators　nearly done.

Basing. I did some sand, glue, rock, cork effects on 12 different sized bases.

Working on the powerfield of my Dire Avenger exarch with a power glaive of my 1st DA squad. Quite happy with him so far.

Tonight I have to paint my Transcendent Catan.
Or at least start.
The joke is that my models must earn thier paint. They definitely earned their paint this evening.

Building the really cheap for a reason vikings from warlord games. Wish I had seen that they were the old Wargames factory models before I ordered. Couldn’t even give them away in our local community.

Did a quick job of my Meiotic/Mucolid mines.

Painting the bases I built yesterday. Trying to get my motivation and free time to align.

Got this far with next batch. Not too bad for1 night

Been trying to assemble my cool looking but Fail Cast Autarch on Jet Bike. I ordered him online naively thinking he was plastic, but alas...
Also mostly assembled my new Farseer which...I didn't do too well as there's a big gap in his cloak. Also my 2nd Exarch of my 1st DA squad at I'd like the option to have the squad separated into two six-man squads and the fact that the paint keeps coming off due to base painting it with Imperial Primer.

Working on more marines this evening.

Finally finished some D&D terrain, I have 2 sets of Mantics Terrain Crate I want to finish next before moving on to some Azyrite Ruins.

Did some more work on the three OOP metal Shining Spears. Mostly the banners and flags now.

Finished my hellblasters, all except for some transfers that I couldn’t get to stick. They’ve been in my garage so maybe they’re just old. And finished the bases for my inceptors.

moved all of the hobby stuff to a new place.
Had initial talk with SO about culling our collections, specifically GW stuff.

Finished assembling 15 Termagants with Spinefists. Wanted to get some of those for variety purpose and used the leftover from my other units and some rescue to built them.

Finally managed to assemble my Autarch on Jet Bike. Also painted the bases of most of my already painted Eldar with that basing paint stuff, which turned out to be less of a pain than I thought it'd be. One of the dudes at GW suggested I make my Eldar look like when they're fighting in their Craftworld against Slaaneshi enemies before they eventually get ousted and I thought that was a damn good idea, so making their bases with Wraithbone coloured ruins. Also using the bird statues you get in the Dire Avengers box set and going to have them broken, full of bullet holes on a few bases of my characters such as my Autarch. Hmm could use a few Chaos Marine heads and such too, maybe...

I've been painting up a turtle adventurer

Virtually finished the three OOP metal Shining Spears. Now I am working on the dead marine who will temporarily hang from a spear end.
