Finished a number of Dire Avengers made from bits (hence the two with metal helmets, and the shorter Shuriken Catapults), one complete DA, and one old metal Exarch.

Steady progress on some Boyz. Next up is highlighting faces, fingers, and teef.

Finally finished my Knights Excelsior Celestant Prime. I'm far from a good painter, I aspire to be an average one, but I'm pretty pleased with how it came out. It's by far the biggest model I've painted since I got back into the hobby and I've been putting it off through fear of messing it up, so I'm chuffed that it's come out in a way that encourages me to do more rather than the opposite!

15 gaunts a day until the pain goes away

Built some Guardians and Dark Reapers.

New kits are really nice. Guardian legs/torsos are interesting, if preset poses. But you can mix them up quite nicely with the weapon options.

Dark Reapers go together like an absolute dream.

I finished 10 HH Raven Guard doods and a Contemptor Dread. Well, the doods were mostly a yesterday project but I stayed up til 5am with the wife watching Outlander and painting, so it still counts.

Worked on five old metal Necromunda Van Saars.

Slowly building a gates of antares starter I picked up on clearance. The game feels like 1st edition AD&D, one game with extra bits bolted on to other extra bits held on by extra bits.

Seems like everything has a special rule and at least a quarter page explaining all the situations where it does and can’t apply.

Start packing away my games room as the flooring needs to be pulled up thanks to water damage from recent storms and flooding in the area.

Finished off my Monster March entry.

Now painting 15mm pavies with vaguely heraldic patterns as a compromise between what I can reasonably freehand and the coats of arms that they would have been decorated with.

Still working on five old metal Necromunda Van Saars.

Painting first 3d printed terrain, struggling witk 3d printer(store's "print your first print in 15 minutes" can go straight to hell) and assembled and started painting fyreslayer terrain for tomorrow's game.

Painting little sprue plants, which is just about all I can manage after being sick.

Other Games:
Base coating a starter box worth of French for Epic Battles from Warlord.

40k:
•Scratch building grabbin klaws for my grots trucks.
•Adding tow hooks to all grot trucks, tanks, & killa kans.
•finalizing the prototype for my scratch built grot zap gunz (Big Guns) - I've got all sorts of left over bitz from Kans, Mech gunz, etc to use up.

Working on 2x Mortian medium tanks
A mortian battle tank
A carnodon
And a Macharius vanquisher.
My desk is currently a world of resin tanks!

Oh and a khursan miniatues saurosuchus, a 10m long warm blooded croc relative from the triassic. Just to swap things up. Will be a rough rider character's mount.

Got started on my first Battlewagon.

Finished the five old metal Necromunda Van Saars, now I need to seal them and photograph.

Just about finished my 3 annihilators, just need a final edge highlight on their armour. Not thrilled with them tbh, think I made a couple of poor choices on what panels to cover and they've ended up a bit dull looking. Shields look nice though, so I guess that's a plus

I bought the Necromunda Market a while back for use in my webcomic. Finally got enough of it finished today for some photos:

I've said before that my models have to "earn their paint".
Well....
Gotta paint a bunch of Grots tonight/tomorrow..
I had 3 squads earn their paint today. In particular squads #1 & #2 - between them they captured both an Aquilla Vortex Missle battery & a Void shield generator from the IG player. Both things I'll now get to use later in our Crusade.
Honorable mention goes to the Wazbomb for making sure the IG had no practical response to this happening.

Grots - now armed with a WMD & hiding behind a force field.

Good stuff KidCthulhu.

My photographs did not turn out as well as I hoped after painting up the last five Van Saars.

Printing terrain, paintinj gloomspite grotz and sneaky snufflers.

Painting 40k gretchin.
30 down ( 3 squads of 10), 72 to go (1 squad of 10 & the rest all big gunz/mek gunz crew).

After painting 300+ AoS goblins in spring of 2020 I swore I'd never paint another goblin.
2 years later I'm painting.... space goblins.

Not very spacey, but more halflings from The Assault Group’s Halflings Mounted on Chickens!

The Assault Group, btw, is currently funding a KS for its Dwarves mounted on bears. Not as silly as chickens, but my gold’s not on the chickens! : https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/chickstaterii/tag-dwarf-empire-bear-knights-mounted-on-huge-bears

Getting some basecoats on my Snakebite Statue

I got to play a fun game of miniatures (our own random rules) with my nephew! And that was good.

However, he is young and very good at breaking things.

So today, I'm repairing a few battered figures.

Crusade paperwork while waiting for a 40k game to start.

Started work on five old Necromunda Redemptionists.

Carnifexs #4, 5, and 6 painting all week. Magnetized with Heavy VC or all Scyth Talons

I'll build Warriors sometime this week as well
