Assembling 4 mournfangs, 2 beastriders and painting 2 fyreslayer heroes

Started collecting pieces for the LoER bi-monthly terrain challenge.

Cheers,

Finished basing my Rangers and old Guardian squad, I think; for now, they're pretty much finished or "table ready." and pretty happy how they turned out; one day, I'll finish their faces and gems and such. Then I finished the base painting and then began highlighting the new Guardians and enjoyed it a lot. I'm doing as a theme for the Eldar (besides the bases) Is that the light source on all of them is coming from the left, which is a high lighting technique I'm slowly getting better at using my desk lamp as a rough reference. Fun times.

I have two small cardboard boxes and six halves of gum cases to make two plasma regulars, next is the base and then the gluing starts.

Painting hamster riders.

A bit more progress on my Guardians; the new kit is a joy to paint. Also been getting into One Page Rules, and I decided to become a Patron! I tested out the Point Calculator or character/unit creation kit to create Attelus Kaltos, and it's pretty fun. He's expensive, but it's pretty cool to have stats so the mini I got from Hero Forge and painted can play in a game in the future.

Yesterday started work on a Black Coach, assembling and priming everything that will start black. Today i' intend to do the same for the rest of the sub-assemblies, which will be primed white.

Haven't worked for months with 40k. Added some crusade upgrades, did squad markings and started work on more bases.

Painting mantic enforcers

Apparently I am also magnetizing a Black Coach today, because I like magnets.

Practically finished my Guardians and I think they look pretty kewl just gotta paint their bases. Also assembled three out of six of the Jet Bikes of my Shining Spears too.

Putting last step on blood drinkers. Close.

Working on a medium tank ARV from Mortian, I magnetised all the recovery gear so i can pull it off and stick a gun tank turret in and have a normal tank too. And some Thudd gun proxies I made up myself from some different parts including a victoria miniatures gun carriage and a zinge industry rocket pod.


Don't be surprised if you see those same MLRS mounted on a, ah 'civillian utility vehicle' one day.

Mostly finished basing my Guardians and assembled my first three Shining Spears, then primed them; probably going to go with the classic colours; I primed them in white. I found the perfect helmetless head in the Shining Spear kit for my 2nd Autarch with Swooping Hawk wings as he has the vent-like things on his face mask, so it looks like a Howling Banshee mask, and the face also looks damn cool.

Completed firstt 40k models since early 9th.

Planning out a Cities of Sigmar force for a local Escalation League.

Measuring case/foam requirements to transport 3 Baneblades & some misc. as compactly as possible.

Working on the two Plasma Regulators...now at the point of do I maximize play-ability (do I move the gum containers to one side to maximize space for model bases or do I place them in the middle for appearances?

Finished basing and fixing up my Guardians and then began to test my colour scheme on one of my Shining Spears, he's fun to paint and pretty happy how he turned out.

Making a leman russ dozer blade into a dozer shovel for an AEV. Just need to source an excavator arm as well. Might make a fascine as well.

Prepping a late war Flames of War force/list (Russia) & a Battletech scenario for use this afternoon/evening.

Working on the two Plasma Regulators.

Building metal obliterators

Did more work on my Shining Spears, and more concept painting of one of the Jet Bikes and the Exarch. They're coming along pretty quickly, and I'm not having too much trouble painting white. The practice on the helmets on my Autarch and some of my Guardians might've prepared me for them.

Did more work on the two Plasma Regulators.

Made a terrain piece to use with solo fantasy games.

Finished building the two Plasma Regulators. Now I need to prime them.

Later this evening I'll be assembling a platoon of T-34s for Flames of War.

Played a game the other day & discovered a note to self in the case from about a year ago: "Need more T34s x5". ???
Scanning through inventory & army lists refreshed my memory as to why I wrote that. So....

Put together my first model from Forgeworld, a 30k Apothecary. Very pleased with it tbh, after hearing a lot of horror stories, it actually went together very easily, so much so that I took the plunge and bought another, the painfully expensive Captain Raldoron. £55 for a regular sized marine seems insane to me and I'm still on the fence as to whether I should, but he will be the core of my 30k army so hopefully it makes sense!

Also finished putting chain bayonets and accessories on my 10 MkIV marines, to get mixed in amongst my beakies (who have a variety of MkIV helmets and shoulder pads amongst them to look like a rag tag bunch). They don't quite naturally fit, but it's close enough that it looks fine. Mounted the MkIV's on 3mm cork to make them the same height as the VI's and it looks pretty good. Now I just have to paint 30 tactical and 10 support marines, which should be fun I guess?

Just got done painting up my 15 noise marines...mostly. x.x I still have the power packs and heads to go which I'll do probably tomorrow.

Then it's on to painting either the two remaining Oblits I have...or moving on to the Helbrute. No idea what suffrage I wanna deal with first XD

Edit: Fixed grammatical errors. Tired. x.x

Practically finished two of my three Shining Spears. Liking 'em quite a bit. I wanna try finish the 3rd by tonight. Then onto the 2nd box of Shining Spears. Not sure if I want two three man squads or one six man one. Waiting for my magnet kit from the Magnet Baron. Perhaps Hi should wait until I get that. Hmm...
