Painting some Swiss allied with the French for Black Powder.

Did a bit of work on my Sanguinary Priest for the Dakka challenge, started a BA terminator captain, and finished off another handful of Poxwalkers.

Repainting the Robo Rally minis from the recent reissue of the game.

Slowly working my way through my lockdown projects (couldn't paint for 6 months due to house move. Mainly 40k and warmachine models)

Have painted:
4 steelhead cavalry
1 stannis broker
10 steelhead riflemen
10 retribution halberdiers
10 retribution riflemen
3 retribution stormfall archers
2 heavy gun teams

Currently on my desk:
10 more retribution riflemen
Chaos spider thing from the start collecting box

I'm playing a game of silver tower with my dad. Classic fun times

Very nice weather today - got a whole bunch of stuff for several forces & games primed/base-coated.
Now I'm out of spray - except black.

So after dinner it'll be a trip to the local shop & I'll have another entry in "what's your most recent purchase" thread....

Began painting my Skyrunner Autarch, two old school jetbikes, a Skyrunner Guardian and the 2nd exarch for my 1st Dire Avenger squad. I actually took the plunge and painted the face (including the eyes) of the Skyrunner Autarch, who may or may not be Autarch Raloth Arlyandor (Master Autarch above the others) as he was a Shining Spear and a Dire Avenger before following the Path of Command. His face it's...intense, he looks scary, actually, I wouldn't want to mess with him. I'm one of the weirdos who paints eyebrows to the face and I'm glad I did as it really added to it. He's also pale as frig which makes him look a bit scarier too lol

Hauled out my night-stalkers for pictures

Painting my monthly competition space Marin with inceptors.

Finished up on my dead Marine for the Monthly Painting Challenge.

Cheers,

CB

Started painting my Termagants squad. At the boring and tedious step of detailing before wash. It's always a drag.

Assembled the terrain out of the new War Cry: Catacombs set.

Painted out at the moment. Going to spend the evening building some stuff to prep for basecoating.

Ordered Drukhari codex and cards, but the retailer said delivery will be delayed.
Too bad.

Working on basing and bladeguard.

Finished building the war Cry terrain + the figures.

Did quite a bit more painting on my Skyrunner Autarch, armour high lights and fixing his face a bit. I'm pretty happy with him so far. And a bit more work on the new Exarch.

Knocked out my bladeguard and indomitus lieutenant last night, working on the Ancient and Chaplain from the same set this evening.

Assembling Oathmark skeletons.

Painting stormcast. In 2.5 week looks　to be having 6k　game so try to get all main colours and bases done for all. Smaller details and last highlights can wait.

6k will be nuts. But got to try it once when another player took me on my note that i could play 6k. (well 7.5k with pure stormcast. More with lumineth allies that i have 3.2k)

`Spent my evening stripping a bunch of models and not painting. Good use of my hobby time!

Accidentally snapped my Skyrunner Autarch's star lance while trying to straighten it. I tried to stick it back with superglue but it refused to stick so I pinned it and it worked a charm. I was spitting and cursing Fine Cast the whole time lol. I'm hoping the new Eldar Codex will get a new plastic range of models so I don't have to deal with Fine Cast often again.

A little bit more painting on my Sanguinary Priest and made a little sandbag fortification out of modelling clay.

I'd nearly consider telling you to hold off buying anything new for your Eldar as I'd say a range revamp is on the horizon. Although I must admit I've been saying that for years...

Played an initial game of War Cry this evening.
Pretty good game. I imagine once I read the rules & find out what we did wrong/skipped/missed vs relying on my buddy who was teaching the game {and had clearly just skimmed the material} that it'll be even better.

My job was model assembly. 100%
His was reading the rules & teaching the rest of us. About 70%

Seeing there's not even rumour engine pics that hint at eldar's if he holds off he's looking quite likely holding off for years though...

Assembling Frostgrave Wizards 2 models.

I'm hoping you're right this time! I'm doing that with the Eldar codex, waiting for the 9th edition one if I get into 40k as I'm playing or at least trying to play Kill Team for now.

Perhaps GW are playing a long term gambit to make Eldar players so desperate for models after years and years so when they finally release them they'll get so much money, too much money. They might've "tested" the waters for it with their $105.00 NZD five-woman box of Howling Banshees? Could be.

Anyway back OT worked a bit more on my Skyrunner Autarch and glued his laser lance arm on. Still gotta paint his lance, and flags, not looking forward to freehanding the symbols on the flags, but it'll be a challenge I'm sure.

The fact that we've seen Jain Zar and her Banshees, I would disagree. There is no way studio designers just do one small part of a faction and drop it there.

I expect prices for the minis to come will be along the same lines Adrassil, although a lot of Eldar is pretty cheap on eBay if you didn't mind an older force for cheaper.

On topic, stripped a bunch of models last night, will be giving some another dunk later on.

Jetbikes were pretty much that. Were done early 2000's, were sitting around for about decade and then released.

Big entire range revamp is actually rare for GW. Smaller parts here and there is more common. Especially for non-marines. Other factions tend to have to wait for time in starter set for big revamp.
