Painting some terrain.

Putting together Cities of Death terrain. It's been years since I've touched this particular type of kit - maybe the late 2000's/early 2010's was the last time? - and it is a stark reminder of how far GW's plastics have come (and since regressed) in that time.

Omnissiah save me, this stuff takes so long to get right.

Finished the five metal Delaques.

Now that's what a Delaque is meant to look like. Great stuff.

Thanks H.B.M.C.

Put some old metal figures in a bath of Simple Green.

Going to try and get some painting in tonight.

Finishing bases on my GSC Kill Team and starting on Guild Ball Alchemists

finishing up a reaper bones dwarf king on throne i've had kicking around for a while and a mantic figure i think will end up an rpg figure.

other then that, i'm trying to think of something terrain related i might want to try making, but so far i'm drawing a blank

Painting KT Orks.

This afternoon my KT Orks finally succeeded in earning thier paint. They took down 4/5 Intercisors, accomplished their spec ops, & won the vp race by a decent margin.
The MVP of the game was absolutely Dakka Ork (the one with the 3 barrel gun). He was on fire with doling out the crits.


So tonight I start actually painting the Boyz.
The goal is to have the squad finished by the next game.

In the last two weeks, for my Ad Mech force I have finished:

* a Marshall,
* a full 10-strong squad of Rust Stalkers,
* a mix of 25 Rangers and Vanguard,
* and two Skorpius kits assembled to create two of each variant - no magnets, just friction-fit, but very effectively done IMO.

These have all been primed in my chosen base-color.

Tomorrow I begin constructing two units of 5 Pteraxii Sterylizors - am magnetizing so the built minis can be removed from their stands for easier storage and transport.

These are the last additions to my force, a long time coming due to constraints of work and home-life. I'm very pleased, and am excited for the detailed painting to commence.

Got to play a game of Song of Blades and Heroes. My goblins were routed by a chaos warband. They were cut down quickly and then ran off in a panic if they were still in one piece

Painting some KT orks.
Painting a few more D&D pirates.

Re-basing my KT orks onto 0-20 life counters from Litko....
I picked these up at the shop the other day to track my boyz wounds - and then realized part way through the game that they're 32mm(?) & almost a perfect match height-wise to the GW bases!

Just have to give the top pieces a quick base coat, attach orks, continue painting as planned, and my orks will soon be sporting Heroclicx style bases.

(* I did look at using clix bases - but they're 40mm(?) & way too big)

Finished building a 3 story Sector Mechanicus tower topped with OG Cities of Death terrain.

That... was tough. Just waiting for the glue to dry now.

Working on my Alchemists for Guild Ball. About halfway, should get most of the rest done tomorrow

Painting this bad boy for tournament.

Well, 5 weeks of surprisingly productive painting (using some tricks I found on You Tube) turned this sea of grey plastic (mostly) AOBR Orks:

Warboss (Goldtoof)


Now they just need some wheels...

Good looking force!

Just got my Kill Team 2: Electric Boogaloo Compendium and my 2nd box of Harlequins for my Kill Team today, and since, I've been planning how to build my new six Harlies. I'm frigging glad I got the Compendium before I began assembling them due to the fact I can only have two Gunner Harlequins, lol, and most of my Harlies in my old Kill Team were Gunners. I do like me some WYSIWYG.

Assembled some Dreads on the weekend, today probably going to base and prime them.

Built 5 Fenrisian doggies.

Great progress Gordy2000!

I am impulsively purchasing some more metal Necromunda from another Dakka member.

Cheers,

CB

I'm planning to paint some high elves today! Got a game with a mate from work, just need to think up points and that.

Finishing my Guild Ball Alchemists team with basing and starting on an Achilles Ridgerunner

Painting up 5-9 more D&D pirate minis.
Definitely need to finish up 5 of them for tomorrow evening.

I had a fun session of Pulp Cthulhu and had fun. Afterwards, I began setting up my new Harlequins. Assembling is perhaps my favourite part of making minis, I like trying to give them dynamic, fun poses. I've assembled my Troupe Master, wanted to have him leaning over about to spring forwards, but the head wouldn't tilt back far enough, so I used some green stuff to push it up more. I'm happy with him so far! Can't wait to play Kill Team 2: Electric Boogaloo with them.

Built some beastmen.

Working on my Ridgerunner and priming my Ratcatcher's Guild for Guild Ball. Also had my Gencon order from Wyrd arrive so I assembled everything from it before putting it back in a box to paint at some future time

•Painting up the last 4 "named" npc pirates for our D&D game.
•Painting 2 of the players figures as well.
Should be able to get 5.5 figures (ones a gnome mini - soo tiny - one or two flicks of the brush....) done in 7 days.

Figuring out what color my guns should be. Using black/jade green/orange and blue-white as base colors for the figure leaves surprisingly few colors to use on the gun and not blend into the model holding it.

Assembled 20 gutrippas, 3 annihilators, swamp shaman, painted bit of terrain and ironjaws bits and did complete cleaning of airbrush that seems to have cleared it up.

Finished some dinosaurs

Mostly assembled my Harlequins just gotta stick on their arms next.

Display board is coming along nicely.
